Ramya Krishnan and Jagapati did their part well. The girl who played childhood Junnu was fabulous with her expressions. Her expressions in few scenes were simply spot on. Great stunt choreography by Bob Brown was seamless. The stunts he performed were excellent to watch. An impressive one, especially after a horrendous debut. A really great background score, an engaging one and that violin theme tho! Performances: Akhil has done a really good job here. Music: Probably after 'Manam', this is the best Anup has ever been. Few shots looked even more beautiful because of good editing from Prawin Pudi.

The lighting in 'Merise Merise' was very much inspired from the way 'Deewani Mastani' was set up in 'Bajirao Mastani', a very good attempt actually. One or two long shots and POV shots were the best of them. Action sequences were shot really well, though they could've been made better, as per TFI standards, this was way better anyway. There's always this kind of freshness in his takes. Cinematography: Excellent visuals from Vinod. He should've either avoided them or could've come up with better ideas to convey them. At times, the way few things go remind you of 'Manam' and that is something not expected of Vikram. Despite the flaws, the direction was really good and nothing felt like it was dragged. Direction: In this film, Vikram tries to convey the story in a single day of the film reality. You don't feel the gravity of their agonising 14 years of separation. This flaw with 'Hello!' is a major setback because finally when they both meet at the end, obviously, you don't feel for them. I know that it is difficult to establish character depth with children, but it's not impossible too because it was done many time previously in TFI, be it 'Little Soldiers' or 'Anjali' or many many more. Another issue I had with the writing was the lack of depth in character. There is one big plot hole or a blunder, I'd say, which can potentially take away most of the action from the film and cut short the story to around 1 and half hour run time, but that plot hole can't be disclosed without going into the spoiler arena, so I'll refrain from doing that. Screenplay: I always credit him for being the most creative storyteller and even this time, he mesmerises with his writing, but he ain't so flawless either. So, did he utilise that bink and a miss opportunity? How do they finally meet is what Vikram crafts for us on the screen. After 14 years, Seenu gets an opportunity which could potentially take him to his soulmate. Story: Destiny somehow brings Seenu (Akhil) and Junnu (Priya) closer in their childhood who grow a lot closer in a very short time.
