Hi is a charming, feel-good romcom powered by Nayanthara and Kavin's chemistry, but its predictable second half keeps it from becoming truly delightful. Go to Full Review

Hi is a film that is pleasant thanks to Nayanthara and Kavin. It's not a film you take home with you, but you don't regret watching it either. Go to Full Review

Vishnu isn’t interested in making you play the guessing game, and just wants you to sit back and enjoy a simple, cheery romcom that hits you right at the feels. Go to Full Review

Kavin and Nayathara are great when it’s all fun and games, but they’re not able to navigate the film through the more serious portions. It’s an easy watch with a few big laughs but also instantly forgettable. Go to Full Review

You might hear people say how much they miss simple family entertainers you could watch just for the pleasure of it...many stakeholders call good family entertainers a sign of the industry’s good health. This film proves all those sentiments. Go to Full Review

Harish N @harish_napa 2 days ago The romantic drama struggles to leave any real mark due to its hollow narrative and disjointed progression. While it aims to present a relatable dynamic between two contrasting individuals, the storytelling feels completely irrelevant and hollow, lacking the emotional core needed to make the situations feel meaningful. Kavin was so so good in the film, carrying the entire project almost single handedly with his effortless screen presence, natural vulnerability, and strong comic timing. He breathes life into every single scene he appears in, making the lighter moments genuinely enjoyable and doing all the heavy lifting to keep the audience invested. However, the script gives him virtually no scope to build something memorable. There is no real weight or emotional conflict in the writing, and with almost nothing driving the core plot forward, the narrative simply wanders between routine moments. See more Read all reviews
