Prince movie review 2022
Prince is a Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Anudeep KV which is produced by Suniel Narang, D. Suresh Babu, Pushkar Ram Mohan Rao under the banners of Sree Venkateswara Cinemas and Suresh Productions. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan, Maria Ryaboshapka and Sathyaraj.
It revolves around a teacher from Pondicherry falling in love with a British teacher from his school, Anbarsan, a secondary school Social Science teacher in Pondicherry, falls in love with Jessica, a British woman who comes to teach English in the same school. Their cultural differences and strong opposition from people in their town lead to a comedy of errors and misfortunes.
The plot is simple. It’s about a Tamil boy (Sivakarthikeyan plays Anbu) from a fictional village near Pondicherry falling in love with a British girl (Maria plays Jessica). Sathyaraj plays Anbu’s father (Ulaganathan) and he’s a staunch anti-casteist, who wants his son to marry outside their caste. When Anbu, a social science teacher, falls in love with his colleague Jessica (British), an English teacher, he hopes that his father would be proud of him to fall in love with someone from a different country altogether. Instead of extending his support for their love, Ulaganathan opposes the idea because his father was killed by the British during the independence struggle. Therefore, he doesn’t want someone from that country in his family.
The film relies a lot on quirky one-liners and wordplay. Anudeep’s style of comedy is not everyone’s cup of tea. If you loved what he did with Jathi Ratnalu, Prince won’t disappoint you. Even though the film is not consistently as funny as Jathi Ratnalu, the jokes do work wherever they’re used.
Nobody else but Sivakarthikeyan could’ve made Prince work to this extent. He holds the film together with his charming screen presence and his knack of doing comedy is unmatchable. Sathyaraj is equally good as the father and complements Sivakarthikeyan well in so many scenes. The chemistry between them really comes alive on the screen and it’s a treat to watch.
Prince, as the promos promised, ends up as a harmless romantic comedy. The comedy stretches work and generate ample laughs to keep you invested. The dull stretches do serve as a roadblock in an otherwise breezy story that touches upon the theme of fake nationalism.
