Area:-  Mylapore Cost for two:-  ₹1,200 for two people (approx.) Cuisine:-  North Indian, South Indian, Continental, Asian Taking me to a veg restaurant is like bringing a flaming candle next to a house doused with kerosene, not impossible but just a huge risk. Not that I don’t like veg food, it’s just that very few places in Chennai offer some lovely veg food and I’m glad that I discovered Prive in one such outing. I was invited for a foodies meet in Prive and given below is my experience. Location Finding a quiet street in one of the busiest locations of the city is a blessing in disguise. Prive is located in one of such deserted streets named Rajasekaran Street, R K Salai at Mylapore. The easiest way to spot this restaurant is to find the Van Heusen showroom opposite to the Kalyani hospital. This restaurant is located inside the adjacent street to this showroom. Pleasantly shocking was the fact that they have a really good amount of car parking space which is man...

Sivakarthikeyan’s most anticipated flick of the year is finally here and with all the pre-release business numbers and impeccable promotions, the film has garnered the highest expectations as well as the number of theatres. Sivakarthikeyan is an aspiring actor who tries his best to grab the lead role in a film. When the director tells him that his next film will have a male donning a female character, SK tries to impress him by putting on a nurse costume. Meanwhile, he also gets to know that the girl he fell for has gotten engaged. Hence our hero uses his newly found ‘alter-ego’ to impress Keerthy Suresh, the heroine. Whether he succeeds in his mission forms the story of this rom-com flick. This wafer thin story-line wouldn’t have had much to offer if it wasn’t for the freshness this crew of talented newbies and experienced veterans, who have worked together to present a well festooned fiasco. The primary reason to watch Remo , Sivakarthikeyan, also ends up...
