Hi Review: Charming Chemistry Meets A Predictable Second Half

Hi is a romantic comedy about two people who leave their homes for different reasons.

Mayilsamy runs away because his parents want him to accept an arranged marriage.

Devayani escapes relatives who want her to marry an abusive man.

They meet in Chennai and become friends.

Mayilsamy secretly falls in love with Devayani.

When their families find them, the pair pretends to be romantically involved.

The movie is funny and sweet, especially in its first half.

However, the second half becomes predictable and uses many familiar drama ideas.

The review says the actors’ chemistry makes the film enjoyable, even though the story could have been more original.
