Plot

Cast

Production

In June 2012, it was reported that Jaya Prada had acquired the Tamil remake rights of the 2012 Telugu film Ishq and would produce the remake with her nephew Siddhu in the lead role, while A. Rajasekhar, who previously directed Satyam, would direct the film.[1] She had initially attempted to launch Siddhu through a bilingual venture titled Classmates in 2001, where he would feature alongside actresses Reema Sen, Yukta Mookhey and Dia Mirza, but the film did not materialise.[2][3] He later made his acting debut in the Telugu film, Tapana (2004), co-starring Prabhu Deva.[4] Filming for the Ishq remake, titled Uyire Uyire, was underway by December 2013 with Hansika Motwani, the lead actress, filming a song in Goa during a three-day schedule.[5]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by Anup Rubens and the duo Aravind–Shankar and released by Divo. All lyrics were written by Viveka.[6][7]

Reception

Baradwaj Rangan wrote for The Hindu that the film would appeal to fans of the loosu ponnu trope.[11] Gautaman Bhaskaran of Hindustan Times called the film "unwatchable" and below average.[12] M. Suganth from The Times of India wrote, "This is one of those films where every character acts/reacts in the most unrealistic and silliest manner to every situation".[13] Sify criticised the film as a shot-for-shot remake and the lead actor's dialogue delivery but appreciated the cinematography.[14]
