"JOE" A feel good romantic movie My review for the Tamil Film "JOE" Director Hariharan Ram gave clean depiction of college romance, egoistic fights among lovers, and the attitudes youngsters who became partners in an unwilling marriage, by narrating the romance of a young man who is in love with his college mate how ends in heartbreak. Finding romance after suffering heartbreak with first love isn't a fresh trope in Tamil Cinema, here director attempts recite a romantic tale in a sensible and engaging manner without the feeling of recurrence.

The plot revolves around Joe (Rio Raj) who falls in love with his classmate Sujithra (Malavika Manoj), in college. Even though the Malayali girl reciprocates, the romance is doomed, eventually, Joe marries Shruti (Bhavya Trikha), a strong-willed woman, who isn't ready to accept him as her husband because of the shudder from her own past.

First half of the film is filled with love and friendship scenes, the scenes adjacent to the break and the emotional scenes director made it have a relevant impact. The mental struggle of the couples (both have a previous history of love failure) who cohabit in a late involuntary marriage is displayed in maturity with both their feelings and justifications equally important. After Rio Raj, the hero survives a suicide attempt, the verses in which his father and mother speak to him separately are hooked as a gripping message against suicidal moods of youngsters. As the film gets serious, the occasional natural humour lightens the mood of the audience while the portrayal of female characters and their feelings have been handled with dignity is really praiseworthy.

Rio Raj is perfect for all ages-School student, college youth, and married. He has done an incredible job in emotional scenes. How do the couple rediscover happiness, director Hariharan Ram narrates this tale with earnestness, audience to have they-must-get-together feeling, supported with Siddu Kumar's background score to do the heavy lifting. Even though there is a slight lagging in the second half, the director manages to get the audience engaged with scenes that register quite strongly, like the scene where Joe's mother talks emotionally about her love at first sight.

If there's one word that can be apt to define Rio Raj, it's decent, for a film involving college life and youth, a very mindful film that attracts the youngsters, highly appreciable aspect is, it treats its female characters with respect, and even when its protagonist uses verbal abuse, he's quickly corrected by his mother, hats off to the director to capture the love scenes without any vulgarity, aptly suitable for the entire family to watch the film with a never expected twist at the end.

The screenplay is packed with the necessary lively and emotional moments and the iconic ideas that make you smile, a story that we are all familiar with and is based on a love story that has happened in some form in all of our lives. The first half starts off with a bit of fun and ends with a heartwarming interlude. The second half of the film starts off with new life-filled scenes and the film goes on a very positive course, a fulfilling feel good movie with an unexpected twist at the end. The climax scene, which is particularly unexpected for anyone, is the biggest strength of the film to shore up the film with audience. Though it is a romantic film that we have already seen many times, the visuals and screenplay structure are brushed and reinforced by the music of the film, giving a perfect blend of emotions wherever you want to laugh, wherever you want to cry, wherever you want to be moved, giving the feeling of having seen a full-length family movie.

This film gave us a positive feeling that a help that we have done in the course of our life and later when we are at the wits end, that help turns our life upside down and makes us travel in a different direction and that life becomes our favourite model.

Finally, special mention to the Director who casts, a homely new actress from Kerala, Malavika Manoj with her innocent mannerisms who captured the attention of the audience, an unconventional performance, expressing her emotions in superb manner for any scenes she appears. Malavika is the perfect choice for the heroine who came to Coimbatore to study from Kerala, her clear acting, beautiful dialogues and elegance facial expression have lifted the character, which is a huge plus to add edge to the film, ensuring a potential girl to reign the Tamil films in the near future.

In short, the Film Joe is must watch movie to be seen with family at theatre.

Review by M. Siraj.

I don't know her name. But the character was defeating all other characters Specially her eyes. Only performing on every role. Well done Rio raj & Writing was amazing mostly credits goes to Director. Music is standing every where, every sceans. This is a best movie in Rioraj's career. He did his role perfectly. I love the every character arc. Any was movie is must watchable.

Bro that KERALA vibes is Heaven. That Suchitra character was stunning. Specially her cute expressions. Most suitable locations.

Ect....

( I think I missed this to watch in theater.) after long time a feel good movie it's very connectable all family audience.

No Spoilers!

The is so great. I felt no lag watching the film and I feel like there is nothing negative about this movie. The music is so good and all have acted well. The movie will be heart touching and may even make your eyes shed tears. Please watch the movie in the theater. One of the gems of Tamil cinema and I could still not believe that this is the first film for the director. This a great feel good movie too. You can watch this with your family, as couples or even with friends.

The songs are great and gives great vibes.please do support movies like this. The movie is different from other movies and again, one of its kind.

I would highly recommend this film. Worth your time and money watching.

If there's one word that can be apt to define Joe, it's decent. For a film involving college life and youth, it is a very mindful film that gets its political messaging right. It treats its female characters with respect, and even when its protagonist uses verbal abuse, he's quickly corrected.

While watching the movie, I didn't feel lazy at all, and I didn't think it had any bad aspects. The acting is excellent, and the music is fantastic. The movie is going to touch your heart and might even try to bring tears to your eyes. One of the gems of Tamil cinema, and I'm not sure I fully agree that it's the main picture for the lead actor just yet. This is also a great movie that gives you a positive feeling. You can watch this with your family, your significant other, or even your frie

The music is amazing and creates an incredible atmosphere. Kindly continue making films such as these. The movie is unique among other movies and not at all like other movies.

Joe is a kind of coming of age romantic movie with some flaws. The very first scene that happens during Joe's school time makes the audience puzzled, and somewhat it is predictable that this scene gonna connect to the climax. The first half of the movie moves well as the college and graduation life of Joe whereas, the second half moves as the marriage life of Joe. First half engages as a rom-com with very less unwanted scenes. But the second half travels without any point. Positives of the movies are those performances by the lead actors and the screenplay which doesn't make us feel bored in any of the scenes. Cinematography gives even more chillness to the movie. Music are decent enough in both Songs and BG. That culturals songs could have been avoided. Negatives of the movies are the characters that are introduced in the second half without any writing depth, including the second heroine Shruthi's character. The characters pain and past doesn't make us feel for her. Only the watchman character connects, but at what cost??? Even the major lose that happens to the protagonist in the middle of the movie doesn't impacts hard to the audience. This movie is a feel good movie but the lethargic writting makes it an average one. Writing could have been even better.

"Rio's portrayal as the hero in the movie 'Joe' is commendable. His nuanced performance brings depth to the character, making the audience connect with the emotional journey of the film. Rio's charisma and on-screen presence add a captivating touch to 'Joe,' leaving a lasting impact on viewers."'Jeo' is an incredibly touching love-based movie that resonates on an emotional level.

The film beautifully captures the essence of love, evoking heartfelt emotions from the audience. The genuine portrayal of love and the captivating storyline make 'Jeo' a must-watch for those seeking a heartfelt cinematic experience."

The movie Joe is just like any other romantic Tamil movies with the same cliche topics which we have seen a lot. There is nothing new. We might even be able to see it's similarities with some other movies in tamil and especially malayalam. The lead is a Tamil guy and his first love a kerala girl. This gives the Premam movies vibe. The story line is normal paced but the end has a twist in it. But they could have ended the movie in a better way by adding a little more details. Just like any other Tamil movies in the olden days, the hero here is shown as a HERO..! His good deeds in the movie are a bit too overbearing that we lose the reality in some instances. The actors portrayed the character in the best way possible and it is evident. If there are any flaws in the movie it's definitely due to the old and outdated storyline. But the movie has very good music and frames. Just a one time watchable.

The best of Rio Movie. Beautiful love story, they lived in this movie... new faces looks so nice... music awesome. Comedy works out well. Screenplay also fine. I can't move out the movie... still running in mind... can watch with family. My first ever review for a movie. Felt like I should write... As a fan of Rio. I loved him watching... also, matched his wife Name... more connected ... must watch movie.. fans will enjoy.. current students also have a wonderful college time movie for them. Urugi urugi song was the top most ... no dramatic dialogues... they just speak through their actions... which is still more beautiful.

I was looking for feel good movies then someone suggested me about this but when i end watching this I realised it's a copy of many hit malayalam and tamil movies ,you can watch 96,Hridayam,Premam,Rajarani and GVM's movies like VTV,V1000 all in two and a half hours .There is a sequance hero was scared of proposing his clg crush which is exactly similar to 97 and reversed the plot of premam with Malayali girl and Tamil Hero all those onam celebration sequance and Hero's reaction after first heroines death was a frame by frame copy of premam and the hero comes to alapuzha to see her was from VTV and then a zone hero was going through pain which was copied from V1000 and here comes the 2nd half is all scratched from Rajarani.

Did the writer have any shame left? Pathetic.

2024 best movie in (JOE) he saprated two part first half is unbelievable story and another one is all marrage person must watch also all characters are pretty perfomance over all one of the best move in 2024 love is not bad but some situation is change him life.with smile move on ovel all must watch. Lunar situation miss theater experience I watch also mobile the small screen his broken my heart Theater also The biggest screen wen to my life movie watch feel better backround music is not bad and screen play and editing also good after watch thae move return to my heart love you joe movie in year.

The story is good and not boring any more. Everyone involved their characters to satisfy us. The sunpenses are good and we can't expect that. When we are compared 2 halfs, first half is very good and love story. But the second half little bit lag and no story. We can see unwanted characters and involved in the second half. Hero and heroin acting is very good and the second heroin's acting is bit elogant. The climax is superb which we couldn't expect. Because of the climax we can give the marks. In the middle of the moview, we can see the mother sentiment which will attract every one. We can St it's a message oriented movie in the present days.

I love this movie so much..To be honest,i didn't have any expectations for this movie as Rio Raj previous movies didn't go well with me..But this movie my God,so beautiful so soulful..The storyline of person Called Joe,what he faced in his life and what fate decides for him..1st half heroine acted so well and she was so compatible with Rio Raj good chemistry..2nd half takes a major turn when something worst happens for Rio Raj..The 2nd half is about his marriage life that was pure accident and what happens entirely shows us how brilliant the director is..Good music and 2nd half heroine acted well too..This is family entertainer movie and i am pretty sure teenagers would love this movie..

Awesome Such a wonderful love movie. After a longtime a very beautiful heart melting love movie i watched. Thanks to the director Hariharan Ram for presentation such a movie. Also Rio and Malavika acting is marvelous. Thanks for whole team who worked in this movie because the made a great work. A very sentimental at the middle of the movie. Also have one mega twist at the end of movie. Overall I love and enjoy the movie Blockbuster Good acting Superb direction Blockbuster Good acting Superb direction Blockbuster Good acting Superb direction Blockbuster Good acting Superb direction Blockbuster Good acting Superb direction.

The movie is a really feel good flick , but only the last 1 hour.. first 1 and a half hour is full of unnecessary scenes and boring.. they could've cut that down , and shorten it.. i was skipping all those scenes, but after the first half it was so interesting. That's the life i always wish for.. finally, the moto of the film is suicide is not a good decision, but it is wrong for this movie... A major change in story would've happened and the satisfying climax would've lost.. anyway i liked the movie a lot (last 1 hour is the soul of the movie , and for me thats the movie ..) ignore the 1st half..

The movie is copy of Premam, hridayam, Autograph, Arjun reddy and many more. Novice direction and screenplay. Don't trust the rating and waste your time. Its hard to sit through the movie.

Music and editing department tried hard to save this substandard product.

The plot line should exist in the 90s or early 2000s. Watching it in 2024 is laughing stock. The dialogues are vaguely written. In most cases the same dialogue repeats and lacks any creativity.

Don't know why the movie is hyped? Someone has to really justify the rating.

Finally can watch Premam once again instead of watching this. Y.

In the enchanting realm of cinematic artistry, where emotions unfurl like petals in a blooming garden, let us delve into the tapestry of a feel-good romantic Tamil film, "JOE," orchestrated by the maestro of storytelling, Director Hariharan Ram. With finesse and a pristine touch, he unravels the delicate threads of college romance, navigates the tempest of egoistic clashes between lovers, and explores the intricacies of young hearts entangled in the web of an unwilling marriage.

Behold, a tale spun with the tenderness of rose petals, wherein a young man named Joe (played by the versatile Rio Raj) finds his heart ensnared by the ethereal charm of his college mate, Sujithra (embodied by the enchanting Malavika Manoj). Alas, their love, though reciprocated, is destined for a heartbreak, and Joe's path takes an unexpected turn as he enters into matrimony with the formidable Shruti (portrayed by the talented Bhavya Trikha). Yet, her heart remains impervious to his affections, haunted by the specters of her own past.

The initial act of this cinematic symphony unfolds in the hallowed halls of love and friendship, adorned with scenes that echo the melodies of affection. Director Ram, like a skilled maestro, conducts emotional crescendos, leaving an indelible impact on the receptive hearts of the audience. The mental tumult of a couple, scarred by the wounds of past love failures, forced into a late, involuntary union, is portrayed with maturity, their feelings and justifications weaving a tapestry of poignant emotion.

In the crucible of adversity, Joe, our resilient hero, survives the abyss of a suicide attempt. The verses wherein his father and mother, like guardians of solace, speak to him separately, serve as a gripping message against the melancholy that shrouds the hearts of our youth. As the narrative intensifies, a sprinkling of natural humor becomes the balm that lightens the collective mood of the audience.

Noteworthy is the director's laudable treatment of female characters, elevating their portrayal with dignity and respect. The commendable aspect is the film's mindfulness, even in the face of verbal storms, where the protagonist's untoward expressions are swiftly corrected by the voice of maternal wisdom. Kudos to Director Ram for capturing love scenes with an artful finesse, devoid of vulgarity, making the film eminently suitable for familial viewing, culminating in an unexpected twist that crowns the cinematic endeavor.

Rio Raj, the epitome of decency, transcends age demographics, embodying the essence of a School student, college youth, and a man bound in matrimony. His impeccable portrayal in emotional scenes is a testament to his acting prowess. Director Hariharan Ram, with unwavering earnestness, navigates the labyrinth of rediscovering happiness in the couple's journey, accentuated by Siddu Kumar's background score, a symphony that bears the weight of emotional crescendos.

Although a faint shadow of lagging graces the second half, Director Ram masterfully reengages the audience with scenes that resonate deeply, such as the soul-stirring moment when Joe's mother recounts her love at first sight. In the tapestry of words, if there's one that befits Rio Raj, it is 'decent,' a testament to his portrayal in a film that explores the tapestry of college life and youth. The film's commendable treatment of female characters, coupled with its capacity to attract and engage the younger audience, stands as a beacon of cinematic achievement.

The screenplay, a mosaic of vibrant and emotional moments, unfolds like a cherished love letter. It is imbued with iconic ideas that evoke smiles and tell a story universally familiar-a tale of love that has echoed in the corridors of all our lives. The first half, a tapestry of joy and heartwarming interludes, segues seamlessly into the second, brimming with new scenes teeming with life. The film embarks on a positive trajectory, culminating in a fulfilling cinematic experience, punctuated by an unexpected twist that adds a poetic resonance.

The climax, an unexpected revelation, unfolds as the film's pièce de résistance, a testament to its strength in captivating the audience. Though rooted in the familiar terrain of romantic narratives, the film transcends clichés through the visual poetry of its cinematography and the structural elegance of its screenplay. The musical score, a harmonious accomplice, weaves a perfect blend of emotions, invoking laughter, tears, and moments of profound introspection, akin to a journey through the entire spectrum of familial emotions.

In the vast cinematic panorama, "JOE" imparts a positive feeling akin to the gentle touch of benevolence, akin to a helping hand that, in moments of life's trials, turns our course and propels us toward uncharted destinations-life's favorite enigma. In a special tribute to Director Hariharan Ram, who cast the charming Malavika Manoj, a homely actress from Kerala, with her innocent mannerisms captivating the audience. Her unconventional performance, expressive emotions, and elegant facial expressions elevate the character, hinting at the potential for her to reign over Tamil cinema in the near future.

In summation, "JOE" is more than a film; it is a cinematic soiree, a must-watch spectacle for families in the hallowed halls of the theater. Let the emotions unfurl, let the laughter resound, for in this tale, unexpected twists await, and love, like a guiding star, illuminates the screen.

First of was too good all memories are bring back like school and college what our we are facing in front of our face thank you for given such a wonderful movie thank you so much director and also who act in the male character has his name was Rio was too good acting I think he had a bright future all the very best the specially the character of Suji no one can replace it we can't come over from it when she die my heart was broken totally 💔 role of the storyline come out very well suicide is not a solution unexpected climax music was too good I didn't accept this from Rio this is really surprising to me the game I wish you have a very great future and also who act in Watchmen character was very very good simple movie extraordinary connection with people wish the director give more movie like this or the very best director without.

"Joe" is a heart-wrenching tale of redemption and resilience that leaves a profound impact on its audience. Nicolas Cage delivers a powerhouse performance as the titular character, a troubled ex-con trying to find solace and purpose in a harsh, unforgiving world. The film's raw authenticity and gritty realism are brought to life through its evocative cinematography and haunting soundtrack. With its powerful narrative and standout performances, "Joe" is a cinematic tour de force that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.

The 2 female characters have performed well. But certain portions of the film look far fetched.

I watched movie when I see the reviews. But the movies not worth to watch there are more malayalam movies and tamil old movies which good are in story and engaging the audience but it's is not worth to watch honestly leo acting is not good he want to improve himself and movie has no story its not a movie its a trash which I watched . It's like a YouTube video camera quality and all don't take a movie without story . There is a particular scene in bus it's like repeatedly coming ever 5 min in first half and the side character are not good. Dialogs are not good it's like a collage students short filim for the project . It also good then this.
