Aks is an eye opener from Tamil cinemas one of the most promising talents.The movie starts very ordinarily with a choreographed song and some oft heard 'Vaada machi'college jokes.One may well think this is just another teen romance time waster.A very ordinary looking guy and a smart girl in their late teens fall for each other.A few song routines follows and the couple gets adventurous and takes their relation to the next level.The girl gets pregnant and tensions build up.Remember this is suburban chennai not Beverly hills where kids surprise their parents with 'dad we just got married' phrase.The families of both the kids are middle class yet highly respected.The girls parents wants a wedding quickly but the boys household sticks to certain conditions.Verbal duels ensue ,the lovers and their friends try on their own to unite and messes things further.From here Suseendran conjures some unexpected twists and comes up with a rather commendable climax. Iam giving this movie a solid 8 just to pat the director for coming up with an intelligent and tight script that carries on its own without any star power or crowd pleasing tricks.Yuvan shankar rajahs background score is exceptional.If not for Udit narayns chewing of nuts and bolts Alai payum nenjile would have been the song of the year.Manisha yadav puts on a spirited performance and Arjun as karthiks friend gets noticed.Jaya Prakash is becoming a benchmark for restrained yet solid character acting.Cinematography is OK but editing is crisp.The movie is worth spending your time and money just for its last 6 minutes.A must see for every Indian parent with teen aged progeny's.
