Full of fun and love
AS THE title suggests the film `Youth' is all about love, fun, vigour and resplendence of youth. Shiva, (Vijay) is one of those simple, village bred person with a passion for cooking. Having lost his parents quite early in his life, he stays with his uncle (Vijay Kumar) and his family. Though his uncle wants his daughter, Aruna (Sindhu Menon) to marry Shiva, Aruna has other ideas. She elopes on the day of her marriage with her lover, because she feels that Shiva is too lowly for her.
Rather than sulking over the rejection, Shiva takes it in his stride. Life moves on. His cousin takes him along to Chennai to find a job for him as a chef. There, he meets KK, a philosopher (Vivek) who always ends up on the wrong side. Shiva and KK bump in to a fashion show, where Shiva meets Sandhya (Sandhya). He rescues her from a bunch of rogues. Shiva is bitten by the love bug and falls under the false illusion that Sandhya also has a liking for him. But on her birthday, Sandhya introduces her fiancée to Shiva and his friends. This time around, Shiva shocks everyone, including those gathered for the function by proposing to her on that eventful day.
Meanwhile, her lover ditches Aruna. She lands into the hands of police for attempting to commit suicide. Shiva takes her home and convinces her parents to forgive her. This is followed by a big surprise. How Shiva wins Sandhya is what unfolds in the following reels.
`Youth' is produced by A. Poornachandra Rao under the banner of Lakshmi Productions. Vincent Selva directs the film. The story and script is by Ajayakumar. Lyrics are by Vaali, Vairamuthu and Kapilan. Music is by Manu Sharma and the songs are mostly of the `tanglish' mode, good enough to keep the audience feet tapping.
Vivek and Cochin Haneefa handle the comedy well. Vijay seems to be in the Rajnikant mould with each dialogue carrying an element of philosophy in it. Another highpoint of the movie is the fight sequences, in which Vijay has performed the stunts himself.
