 “Paiya’ is an urban story and tells the interesting events happening in the lives of a pair of lovers (Karthi and Tamanna). Besides, Milind Soman and Sonia Deepti are playing pivotal roles. The movie was widely shot in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai.


Paiya is all set to hit the screens on April 2nd Worldwide. Paiya stars Karthik Shivakumar and Tamanna in the lead roles. Music is scored by mass Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The suspense element is when an unknown person joins their three days journey and unexpected twists and interesting things, happen during the journey.

The flashback of this movie is another key element which has been screened in a very colourful way.

A song “chutaysai chutaysi Boomi”, choreographed by Sabeena Khan, is expected to be one of the highlets of the movie. It was shot at Prasad Studios in Chennai, where a grand set was erected by art director Rajeevan.

However, thanks to computer graphics and visual effects, the background of the song will change to dense forests and lush mountain ranges, it is said. A rain song “Are re vana ”, featuring Karthi and Tamanna, was shot at the Athirappilly waterfalls recently.

The film opens in Maxim city of Bangalore, where a freewheeling chap Shiva (Karthi) comes across a beautiful gal Charu (Thamannah). When he's woolgathering about her day and night, it's an instant to relish when the same girl asks him to drive her for Mumbai.

The girl is wedged in a deplorable situation she is being forced to get married to her stepmother's brother. With Shiva enjoying every minute of this journey as in paradise, Charu is preoccupied with her problems. As the travel goes forward on a highway, the rowdies are already tracking her. Somehow, being saved by Shiva with his smart driving, he takes a different route to Mumbai only to find other group of baddies chasing them.

For a special surprise, this group isn’t looking for Charu, but Shiva himself that ends in a smash-down combat.

The second half opens up with a flashback sequence where Shiva had bashed down the deadliest don of Mumbai (Millind Soman). Rest of the film involves about the journey ending up in Mumbai, the two gangs setting out for a hand-in-hand combat with Shiva and how the scores are ensconced.

Yuvan Shankar Raja's musical score is appreciable as almost all the songs are impressive. The background score enhances the grip over certain sequences. Mathi's cinematography has extraordinary quality as exotic locales of Konkan Roadways have been shot well. Anthony’s editing is sleek and stylish that helps a lot for the film's screenplay in few parts.
