Dhanush plays Karthik (Dhanush), a freelance photographer who has greater passions, goals and ambitions in his life. For him, life is never easy. His greatest goal in life is to become a freelance photographer. He is helped in achieving his goal by his buddie Sundar (Sundar). WIth friends, Karthik has a gala time. At one situation, Karthik is introduced to Yamini (Richa), Sundar's girl friend. They are poles apart. Opposite sides and tastes never match. Karthik often ends up quarreling with her. Call it fate, it soon blossoms into love.What happens then in their lives is narrated in Selvah's style.

Karthik hangs out with his friends and is extremely close to Sundar (Sundar) who introduces his girlfriend Yamini (Richa) to the gang. Initially Karthik and Yamini can’t stand each other but there lies the twist, when opposites attract.

Call it a Dhanush - Selvah special. The younger brother deliver what his elder wants on screen without any hiccups. They both combine to give their best.
Dhanush's emotions are well-captured and Selvah has ensured that it is all real and authentic. Dhanush has not let down Selvah and emotes pucca. Especially towards the climax, Dhanush simply rocks. Richa is tailor-made for the role. She has a meaty role which she does well. Sundar too does Justice to his selection. All the rest have a part to play.

Selva tells a simple story and packages it beautifully with the correct mix of entertainment elements. A couple of scenes stand out like the hatred between the lead pair evaporating into a kiss on a rainy night in a bus stand. The scenes of the hero pleading with the master photographer to make him his assistant and the shot in the forest when Karthick gets the shot of the rare bird that he was chasing.

In the end, the film belongs to Dhanush. He delivers his best work till date, emerging as the emotional soul of this film with spectacular, yet restrained performance that he constructs with the help of a solid script. Be it the spirited teenager, the frustrated photographer, the guilty friend, an insecure, unpredictable, alcoholic husband and the mature man at the end. For Dhanush alone, this film deserves a watch.

Richa is impressive in her first film in Tamil. She is able to stand up to Dhanush in the difficult climax scenes of the film. The voice modulation of Deepa Venkat who has dubbed for her has given the character the extra edge. Famous still photographer Sundar has made his acting debut as hero’s best friend and is riveting. Ravi Prasad as the scheming ace photographer who boils with rage seeing younger competitors is convincing.

It is cinematographer Ramji and G V Prakash who join hands to weave a magic. Both does added strength to the script. Selvah's script takes twists and turns and ends up on a positive note with dialogues attracting applause.

Though shades of Kadhal Kondein can't be ruled out, Mayakkam Enna will have a mesmerising effect. welldone Selvah!.
