VAARANAM AAYIRAM REVIEWS FULL

The moment they set eyes on each other, they know that their fate is bound sealed. Gautham Menon has crafted a moving story, calculated to describe in the minutest details the story of an ideal father: Krishnan is a merry, strong individual who sweeps Malini off her feet (the Mundhinam Parthene song sequence is a rollicking riot from the 70s, with even the old Spencer's Plaza painstakingly re-created digitally). :D i guess its that aluthupora phase of college life.Exclusive! Suriya on Vaaranam Aayiram, Ghajnini ofcourse, had i watched it 3 years back or 3 years from now, i would be 'new' to the romance portrayed on screen that i would enjoy it. andha romance bore adicaachu.so i didnt enjoy the first half that much. illai na surprise kudukkanam, mani rathnam dialogue adikkanam, adichu palla pekkara charming a irukkanam. tamizh cinema la love pannanam na either kai la blade a vechundu kizhichikkanam. unna thedi varuven.' corner eyeball, eyebrow twitch.half pa charming. 'ava kooda irundha 90 days oru iLayaraja paatu maadiri irundhudhu.' 'i'll sweep you off your feet wherever you go. and sila mani rathnamish dialogues konjam bore adichaachu.that kind of romance. overall, there were a lot of places i didnt like. jyothika in kaaka kaaka says, 'i want to make love to you.' minnale la vaseegara.about what the girl wants to do with the guy. divya(ramya) says, ' i want you to kiss me. in all his films, the women come on to the men. i felt it ws too dreamy for a film which i guess was meant to be realistic, considering its the life story of a man. but i preferred the second half to the first half. I will watch it again for its good moments. It could have been better - and that feeling is sometimes hard to take given the potential of the creator and actor on view. There were a lot of portions to feel happy about as an avid Gautam menon and Tamil cinema fan. Overall - Given my very high expectations as I entered this film, I still came out satisfied. Simran's gospel speech in the end is average at best. It doesn't pack the punch I kind of expected.

It did not justify being present in the movie at all. The 'anal mele' song disappointed me, I expected more given the placement of the song when the audience are bound to get uneasy on their seats. The scenes with this pair pale in comparison to those between Surya - Simran and Surya - Sameera. The journalist rescue mission, the gaana song are the most obvious waste of time segments in the movie. But it does sag and has some unneccessary segments that could have been chopped off. Alright, the movie is intended to be on its own terms. The Kaakka kaakka chase scenes were truly memorable - and having set such a standard, Gautam does not disappoint in this segment.

The young kid rescue mission and the re-recording in that segment.

Right through the movie - I loved the chemistry as much as the intent to pay an honest tribute to dads. The image of a young kid surya looking at his dad when their family poses for a snap is a brilliant director's touch to summarize the hero worship integral to any dad - son relationship.

The dad-son chemistry - Ok, it is slightly idealistic and full of 'nuni-naakku-english' but it is pretty much from the heart and I could see the genuineness in it.

Very enjoyable indeed - both these songs. I am not bad afterall!) The song is complete in being a tribute to those times with its rain dance segment - the signature of the 80s songs. (As acknowledged by Gautam Menon in one interview. Again, the choreography in 'Yethi yethi' is SO SO SO similar to Anjali's 'something' or Agni natchatram's 'Raja'. Gautam has handled this song very intelligently to give the authentic 70s feel. 'Mundinam' is a joy to watch due to the props and sets.

Authentic art direction and choreography - The Simran - Old surya segment has outstanding art direction.

The scene in the train is beautiful, Sameera is charming and the scene outside Sameera's apartment when Surya offers to move out has got to be my favorite.

The OUTSTANDING segment between Suriya and Sameera Reddy.

I have decided to list down what I liked/ did not like, after watching the movie today in Kamala Theater in Chennai, rather than follow any other structured way of writing this piece. I couldn't resist this entry given how much I looked forward to this movie. I don't write reviews, give movies star ratings and all that, and I am not going to attempt it here either.
