Hi

“The wheel stays unreinvented. It spins nicely all the same.”

“Charm and casting carry a familiar courtship, though the film treads well-worn territory of modern romance without substantial innovation.”

“Nayanthara and Kavin anchor a charming love story that revels in its simplicity.”

“It is a pleasant rom-com, but the premise is dated and the conflicts are familiar tropes.”

“Director Vishnu Edavan's Hi, starring Nayanthara and Kavin, is a harmless romantic comedy that has some delightful stretches. The film aims for low-stakes and achieves them too.”

“Hi offers a very predictable and outdated romantic drama with decent performances from Nayanthara and Kavin. A few comedy scenes work, but the notable supporting actors are largely underutilised.”

“Hi is a charming, feel-good romcom powered by Nayanthara and Kavin's chemistry, but its predictable second half keeps it from becoming truly delightful. The freshness of its presentation does not completely spread across a highly predictable screenplay, and the sheer overfamiliarity of its second half prevents the film from transforming from decent to delightful.”

“Hi is a formulaic love story filled with familiar scenes. A few humorous moments work here and there, but the film is mostly an unexciting rehash of proven formulas with a new cast. By the end, it becomes a thoroughly unengaging watch.”

“Hi is precisely that quintessential comfort film that Tamil cinema has been missing for quite some time. Even if you nitpick, Hi will convince you to forgive it, for there's real effort to make a clean, honest film. This film proves all those sentiments about good family entertainers being a sign of the industry's good health.”
