Vijay Antony, renowned both as a music composer and actor, had released his latest cinematic venture, “Romeo,” which graced the silver screens on April 11, 2024. Despite garnering mixed reviews from critics, the film managed to draw a respectable audience turnout. While it didn’t command the box office as anticipated, its overall reception was notable.
Vijay Antony recently expressed his feelings on social media, subtly criticizing film critics whom he accused of leading the audience astray with their reviews. In a statement penned in Tamil, Vijay Antony conveyed his sentiment, suggesting that numerous film critics, such as Mr. Blue Sattai Maaran, tend to critique many commendable films. He felt bad to those who blindly accept their judgments as absolute truth, thereby disparaging Tamil cinema without acknowledging the merits of films like “Romeo.”

Moreover, Vijay Antony underscored the excellence of “Romeo,” emphasizing its worthiness as a cinematic work. Encouraging potential viewers, he urged them to partake in the movie-watching experience themselves, assuring them that by doing so, they would come to appreciate its merits. He cautioned against dismissing “Romeo” prematurely, drawing parallels to the regrettable oversight that befell “Anbe Sivam,” a film that later gained recognition for its brilliance despite initial neglect. Vijay Antony’s statement has sparked significant discussion and engagement across various social media platforms.
It’s imperative for audiences not to solely depend on or take others’ reviews as gospel. Taste is subjective and varies from person to person. Just because a few individuals may not enjoy a film that many others do, doesn’t diminish its value. Each viewer brings their own unique perspective to the cinematic experience. Therefore, it’s essential for individuals to venture out and explore films on their own accord. By doing so, they can form their own opinions and appreciate the diverse offerings of the cinematic world.
Similarly, the same things applies to “Romeo.” Audiences are encouraged to experience the film firsthand rather than forming judgments solely based on reviews. Directed by Vinayak Vaithiyanathan, this romantic comedy-drama stars Vijay Antony and Mirnalini Ravi in pivotal roles. Vijay Antony portrays the character of Arivazhagan, a Malaysia return who defies parental expectations by marrying Leela, played by Mirnalini Ravi. Leela harbors aspirations of becoming an actress, adding layers of complexity to their relationship. The narrative of the film delves into the intricacies of their marriage and how it shapes their lives. Looking ahead, Vijay Antony has several projects in development, including “Agni Siragugal,” “Hitler,” “Khakee,” and “Valli Mayil.”
