This is the 3rd movie which Prakash Raj has directed(second in Tamil after Dhoni).

Un Samayal Arayil is a remake of the Salt N’ Pepper MALAYALAM MOVIE. The movie, produced by Prakash Raj Productions, is about two unmarried people, who have come to terms with their single life, discovering their need for each other.

Prakash Raj acts as Kalidasan, who believes not that people eat to live, but that people live to eat. Due to a failed love, he chose to stay unmarried. Where as Sneha asct as Gowri, due to certain issues in her horoscope, Gowri stays unwed. 

What sets their life rolling is food , both have so much love for food . Kalidasan, after a bridal visit, brings home the bride’s cook (for his Vadas), but leaves behind the bride.
  

Prakash Raj and Sneha deliver good performances. The pre-climax portion involving the two and two other important characters, in Prakash Raj’s SUV, was a treat to watch. However, the scenes involving their romance – the phone calls, their romantic messages, and their slow motion laughs – seem a little bloated. The scenes seem like from the 80s and 90s. And, the scenes involving the tribal find no connection with the mainline. There were lip sync problems as well.

Cinematographer Preetha, of Abhiyum Naanum fame, fills the screen with taste! The film being about foodstuffs, as much as the lead characters, she has worked hard in presenting the food in their entire savoriness. T

here is a particular scene in which the lead pair shares the recipe of Joan’s Rainbow Cake from the days of French War. The baked cake, with four flavors of Strawberry, Pista, Orange and Chocolate stacked against each other, makes the audience crave for the cake. Through her camera even the Bajjis, Dosas, Curries, and Vadas were appetizing.

Again, Ilango Kumaravel, a regular in Prakash Raj movies, delivers yet another neat performance. Thambi Ramaiah, as the cook, impresses as well. Hilarious portion in both half was good and it was really hilarious. 

Both 1st and 2nd half was same , comedy & romance

Plus     : Story line and the way it was taken,screenplay
Minus  : Intha porappu(beginning of the movie, which shows the speciality of each places of TN) and ‘Kaatru Veliyil’ are good, other songs are not much impressive.

Overall, one of a good movie from Prakash Raj, but while comparing to other of his films this movie drags a little bit out.
Always his movies will be classy and so simple and sweet.

I personally request the audience to watch this movie with full stomach or else you may feel hungry while watching certain sequences in the movie(if you watch the movie in theater. Probably i hope you all will do only that-in legal manner).

Verdict : A romance between two in-secured person , trapped into a love via missed call and felt secured with joy of cooking.

RATING : 2.75/5
