In Romeo, Vijay Antony portrays Arivu, a thirty-five-year-old citizen of Malaysia who has never experienced romantic love; however, a vacation back to his own country causes him to fall in love with Leela (Mirnalini Ravi). Even though Leela and Arivu fall in love right away, Leela's true ambition is to become a successful performer, and she views her forced marriage to Arivu as a barrier to that goal. She demands a divorce, channeling her inner Mouna Ragam Revathi, but Arivu has already fallen deeply in love and comes up with a scheme to make his one-sided love reciprocal by then.

The movie's main male character falling in love with the girl of his dreams is a cliché as old as the hills. The main duo embodies various qualities assigned to their personalities. For example, Arivu is a darling who would do anything for anyone in his vicinity. He is both tough enough to bash a producer who wrongs Leela and pleasant enough to serve fresh breakfast for her pals when they come home to bug him. Although Arivu's actions and efforts can seem excessive, it's simpler to overlook them when considering the adage "all is fair in..." Vijay does a great job portraying Arivu, with his charming smile being highlighted by his glasses and vibrant half-sleeved shirts. The fact that Leela does little more than ignore and berate her husband's attempts, on the other hand, makes this character flat. 

Despite having few resources, Mirnalini does her hardest to save the part. Arivu, Leela's friends, Arivu's uncle (VTV Ganesh), and a cupid in disguise named Vikram (Yogi Babu) make it work despite the first half being devoted to emphasizing how much Leela despises her husband's insistence on finding a solution. Even though the funnier parts of Romeo go from your mind the moment you leave the theater, the latter part causes you to miss these parts. Romeo has two subplots that are introduced halfway through. 

Filmmaking genius flashes throughout the movie, such as when a scene shows Leela letting out a frustrated sigh and then cuts to a conch shell being blown at a funeral. Arivu is made fun of for both producing and playing the lead in a movie, therefore Vijay Antony's meta-troll is really admirable. 

Nevertheless, Romeo is a much-needed deviation from Vijay Antony’s recent duds and makes for a decent watch with its fine share of emotionally gratifying moments.
