  No Trish in the title? Roshan, chauvinism?? You should believe that Trisha is a she.

  Three cheers to Gautham Vasudev Menon, the big daddy of romance is back with a bang! His Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (VTV) is pure magic. This one works and grabs us where it matters; VTV is straight from the heart.
  10 years after his candy floss Minnale, Menon’s VTV is a far more mature Valentine. The film is backed by awe inspiring performance and precisely one thing going for it and that’s the chemistry between its lead actors Silambarasan and Trisha, Manoj Paramahamsa’s eye-catching frames, great screenplay and a stunning climax that is riveting.
  
  It is return of romance and will strike a chord with anyone who’s loved and felt the unbearable anguish of loss, and knows the feeling that binds people in love together. Menon’s creativity is completely home grown though it looks autobiographical.
  
  Karthik (Simbu) a mechanical engineer dreams of becoming a film director meets Jessy (Trisha) a Malayalee Christian girl, an IT professional and it is love at first sight. She lives on the top floor with her strict father (Babu Antony), mother and an aggressive brother while Karthik and his family have rented out the lower portion of the house.
  
  The first half is all about how he passionately woo her, follows her to Kerala, with his good friend Ganesh (Ganesh) a cameraman and his mentor who was instrumental in him becoming director KS Ravikumar’s AD. Karthik’s passionate wooing melts Jessy who finally succumbs to his ardent love. But her family and religion stands in the way of true love.
  
  The romantic track is engaging because it's innocent, simple and the director nails it right. Silence convey so much more than irreverent banter, and nowhere is this more evident than in the interactions between Karthik and Jessy, whose romance is conveyed through their conversations, eyes and longing expressions. The credit goes to its lead pair who invests sincerity and genuine enthusiasm while attacking their roles.
  
  However, VTV is not devoid of minor flaws. It has too many songs which are experimental and are non-structured that act as speed breaker. The pre climax song is unwanted, still “Hosanna..” and “Aaromale…” are the pick of the lot. The film at 2 hours and 35 minutes can be trimmed by at least 10 minutes in the second half to make it as racy and interesting as the first half.
  
  Count among its major plus points- the technical wizardry of the film. Manoj Paramahamsa’s camera and his colour combination especially the night silhouette shots in the backwaters have a touch of class. Art director’s Rajeevan’s choice of interiors and mixing it with the exteriors are brilliant. Antony’s editing without using any gimmicks makes the narration silken smooth.
  
  The film belongs to its lead actors. For sure, Simbu has come a long way from his finger wagging punch line spewing days. It's a joy to watch him in the climax scene when he speaks about his love by taking ordinary lines and delivering them so convincingly, and never miss a beat. His sheer agility in the romantic interludes, his composure, his dead pan humour and his tears in the climax are tangible and real, giving it a heart warming immediacy.
  
  As a woman torn by the dualities of her existence, Trisha looks good and delivers her career best performance in a knock-out role. Her costumes, body language and gait changes as the story shifts from Chennai to New York via the backwaters of Kerala. There is a super cameo by Ganesh (one of the producers of VTV), which is earthy and outrageous as the cameraman friend of the hero and raises huge chuckles and the bar of the film.
  
  The film is a must watch for those who cares for cinema of sense and substance. It stresses the fact that Tamil cinema has to break the mould if it aims to grab eyeballs. Gautham Menon has crafted a movie that will stay in our hearts for a long, long time
  
  Verdict- Very Good

You dont have to be a punjabi - if you have seen Punjabis like that, you'll prbably relate more - and in any case, I am not sure either of them was about authentic punjabiyat - more like, standard bolly romcom-drama presented in Imtiaz Ali flavoured writing. He could have set them in Rajasthan, and the point of the movie would have been the same. vAraNam Ayiram - lets take this. NOV appreciates this very much. What chances that he has seen that specific milieu? I would reckon it is something beyond the authenticity of the milieu that appeals to him. Heck, you said you liked KakkA kaKKa, so you did accept a asst commisioner who speaks like a REC-educated engineer with a tendency to "peter" So, the question is can we allow a director leeway on the milieu as long as it is not the point of the movie.

  Plum,
  
  Hero of the movie is NOV's favourite and there may be a bias in his opinion (with due respect to NOV though). In fact, it is common for any movie buff.
  
  But for some reason i didnt like the movie except the Surya-Sameera portion.

  It is impossible to write a run-of-the-mill review for a Gautham Menon film follows the format of introduction, synopsis, a short critical perspective and finally, a verdict. Usually, the story itself can be said in a few lines. but even an A3 sheet may be insufficient to describe the experience of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV).
  
  So, you'll thank me for this review which is a little shorter than the ones I tend to write and here, I have but a few brief words for the storyline itself, followed by a masterful effort to NOT gush over some of the stupendous work in the movie and a speedy roundup and verdict - but this is only because I neither have the space nor the vocabulary to do justice to the experience of watching this movie.
  
  The Story
  
  Karthik is our young hero. A 22-year-old man who has just finished his engineering degree and has cinema on his brain - he wants to become a film-maker one day. He is no shirker in his efforts; his days are spent knocking down doors of film directors' offices and studio hangars, hoping for a chance at assisting an established film-maker. And then one day, Jessie breezes into his life. Do you remember the 'Thunderbolt Effect' in The Godfather series when Michael Corleone first meets Appolonia? That is what Karthik feels when he sees Jessie from afar. She lives upstairs on their two-level independent home and barely notices him for the first few weeks. Then the contrived "chance" encounter by Karthik on their rooftop, the fervently planned meeting at a KFC joint where Jessie works, the way he blurts his love to her, his impulsive trip all the way to her native Alapuzha to apologize to her for that, their discovery of their love and - the strongest element in their love story - whether they are fated to be together or part ways, given their tumultuous environment.
  
  Jessie looks barely out of her teens, so fresh and doe-eyed is her appearance. Yet, she is not only an intelligent and well-grounded young woman, she is an year older than Karthik! And she is the yang to his yin. Where Karthik is full of, "Let's do it! Let's face the world, even our families and let's be together! Let's fearlessly shout our love from the rooftops!", Jessie is full of, "This is the worst-ever life plan. It would never work between us, thanks to my family and our religions. This would never work because I am so indecisive about making such emotional decisions!"
  
  Jessie is torn between her love for Karthik and loyalty to her family.
  
  Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa - will you cross the skies for me? This is the premise of the entire Karthik-Jessie love story. Will he wait forever for her? Will she cross her own hurdles to come to him? Will they run away from the world and be together? Will they fall prey to each other's diametrically opposite perspectives and lose out on love?
  
  The Performances: On- and Off-screen
  
  Simbu and more Simbu all the way. What a fantastic, underplayed and completely heart-melting performance. You have never seen Simbu like this before. You can fall in love with Simbu's Karthik. He has that glint of wry humour and sarcasm in his eye, he has that underplayed sexuality, the subtle hints of young love and young lust and glimpses of raw emotion - be it anger, frustration or rage. From the first moment one sees him on screen to the last shot, Simbu stays with you all the way. It would be impossible to see him again in any of his gyrating, fancy-move-making movies after this one.
  
  Trisha is the essence of angelic beauty. Innocent without losing her savvy; vulnerable without seeming helpless; confused in matters of the heart, without looking fickle. For Trisha too, this is perhaps one of the finest, most poignant roles she has done.
  
  Ganesh, who has been part of the Madhan-Ganesh executive producer duo with Gautham since the days of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, surprises us all by being fabulous. and himself in the movie! His sarcastic sense of humour, his mantle of reliability without being prudish and his comic timing with a straight face are worth applause - and applause he gets from the audience, every time!
  
  Manoj Paramahamsa has magic in his lenses or fingers or something! The crystal clarity and sharp purity of every frame - night or day - is that of an expert veteran. The entire viewing experience has been enhanced simply because he has made it possible for every frame to look lucid, sharp and pleasing.
  
  I feel hesitant to even mention the masterpiece that A.R. Rahman has created in the sound track. From song to song, to the background score, the moods of each moment are captured by this genius and this movie would be but a fraction of what it is without his music.
  
  Points to ponder
  
  Just like Vaaranam Aayiram, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa too is not a story but a process of story-telling. The movie is one long flow of emotions and incidents and not really a neatly categorized tale. Great for a seamless screenplay and showing the beauty of every moment, unfettered by the framework of any particular need in the script to move the next level. In this lies its minuses as well. For, at times, there seems to be little progression in the lives of Karthik and Jessie as he chases her and she tremulously reciprocates her love for him. It almost seems as if the entire movie is a struggle for him to convince her to defy the world and be with him; so also it seems she is constantly in turmoil, telling him to run away from a futile relationship even as she showers her love upon him. One almost feels the urge to stand up and tell Jessie, "Look at the boy! What are you waiting for! Will you please go for it!"
  
  The movie has been beautifully shot. This is perhaps the first Tamil movie I have seen in a long time that is comparable to a progressive Hindi or English movie. The camera angles, the expressions of the actors, the muted, Mani Ratnam-style of dialogue delivery, the finely choreographed fight sequences, the subtle ways of bringing out the personalities of the protagonists. perfect. While I personally find the last parts of the movie a little lagging behind in pace and intrigue, I can't help but give full marks for technical efficiency of screenplay and editing. Between Gautham, Manoj, Rajeevan and Anthony, VTV is a beautiful moving painting. Perhaps an elegant snip here and there in the second half would make it even tighter and focused.
  
  Malta is gorgeous, New York is heady, Goa is breathtaking and Kerala is God's own country. Their individual beauties have been captured inspiringly by Manoj. Unfortunately, they all appear only for a few minutes to the audience, except for Kerala, where there are actually longer and vital scenes shot. The rest of the movie is mostly shot, in true Gautham Menon style, in and around Chennai's favourite hangouts - Gautham's own office, Sathyam Cinemas and so on, with travel thrown in many a time in Simbu's or Gautham's own cars! Even the crew members are boys and girls from Gautham's own team! At some places, these are nice to watch and feel the warm glow of familiarity to the places and the people. At times, it makes one wonder what exactly the film's budget was!
  
  There are interesting quirks in the storyline that bring in some personal elements: a brief glimpse of an actual movie being made by Gautham as we speak, the journey of Karthik (who once wanted to work with "director Gautham Menon" when he went looking for a job) as a struggling filmmaker, the taboo of working in the cinema industry and the engineering and science-math backgrounds of Karthik and Jessie remind us of Gautham himself or, if you're from Chennai, the familiar institutions and favourite hangouts of our growing-up lives.
  
  Verdict
  
  For sheer beauty of every shot, for Simbu's excellent work, for A.R. Rahman's achingly beautiful music, for Trisha's angelic presence, for the director's sleek screenplay and for the love of good cinema - please watch it!
  
  Beware: Learn to ignore the stagnancy of pace sometimes or the lack of progression to the next level in Jessie and Karthik's relationship. Clarity will find you toward the end.

  Gautam Menon's Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya: Review
  
  The director Gautham Vasudev Menon exploits In medias res technique as the movie starts in a Church where Jessie (Trisha Krishnan) is the bride-to-be marching towards the altar. And Karthik (Silambarasan_Rajendar) is just an onlooker in the congregation. This way, the plot looks loaded from the start. Apparently, in flashback, we learn that Karthik, hailing from a Hindu Vellalar community, falls for Jessie, a Malayalee Catholic girl who’s a year older than the hero.
  
  The relationship alternates between friendship and love. At one point, Jessie irritated me as I got reminded of Estella of Great Expectations because Jessie is seemingly indecisive and cruel. And when things go awry, she’s fixed for another guy and is now seen in the Church.
  
  However, the unexpected happens and the lovers have a tough time convincing not only the elders in the family but also their own convictions: that if a girl needs space, emotional support and time, then a creative person needs an outlet.
  
  Make no mistake, the signature of the director‘s previous movies can be seen and felt but this time it’s in bold letters. A simple plot with intense emotions, we are drawn into the psyche of the lovers stuck at crossroads. We are also sucked into the realm of Kadalukku Mariyadhai, Runaway Bride, Unaale Unaale as the plot progresses.
  
  Yes, there are two paths you can choose. But for Karthik while there might be a second innings, he still emerges as the not-out batsman in the first innings.
  
  Silambarasan, under the skin of Karthik, is subdued and different. While in Vaaranam Aayiram, we see the hero thanking the father, here it is Jessie.
  
  The power of this movie is its subtle message. Kudos to the exotic music by Allah Rakha Rahman without which the intensity of love can’t be felt!
  
  This is a movie for anti-feminists like me. Gautam gives a telescopic view of love and also a microscopic view of how a woman feels when she’s in love. Thanks for not giving us the prototype woman-bashing movie where the female lead is always blamed. Gautam!
  
  Who are you thanking now, Gautam?

  After a successful Vaaranam Aayiram, Gautham Vasudev Menon ventures into his next, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, focusing entirely on the most catholic emotion in the world, LOVE, a subject that the brilliant director is known to handle with style, finesse, panache and a lot of heart. Although, VTV could have been an apt Valentine’s Day presentation, it nevertheless does not cease to impress the target audience, the YOUTH.
  
  VTV is all about falling in love, the emotions, confusions and the innumerable rollercoaster sensations associated with it. Karthik (Silambarasan), a mechanical engineer is an aspiring film director. It is love at first sight for this young man with his landlord’s daughter Jessy (Trisha), a Malayalee Christian and a computer professional. Karthik expresses his love to her in a quite unexpected manner but she does not accept it citing practical reasons. Notwithstanding her absence even for a short while, Karthik, in her pursuit, reaches Kerala along with his cinematographer friend Ganesh.
  
  He finds Jessy in the pretext of apologizing to her for his behavior but earns her friendship. The ensuing train trip to Chennai from Allapuzha paves way for a deeper bond between the two. Meanwhile Karthik rubs Jessy’s brother on the wrong side which creates a wedge between the two families and Karthik’s family is made to vacate the premises. This triggers the hasty fixing of marriage for Jessy in Kerala. Needless to say, Karthik reaches there and what happens thereafter form the crux of Vinnai Thaandi Varuavaayaa. The answers to questions like whether Karthik and Jessy unite in marriage or go their individual ways are narrated with a trademark Gautham Menon’s style.
  
  An all new Silambarasan, with a complete make over steals the show. An amazing performance from the young super star! His dialogue delivery, body language, voice modulations, dance movements are all right in place and VTV is a definite milestone for him. He has lived the character of Karthik in every cell. His dexterity with feet reaches a crescendo in the Hosanna number. Trisha is lovely in Nalini Sriram’s simple, relatable costumes and comes alive as a confused woman, not knowing her path. Ganesh as Silambarasan’s friend is adorable and the combination takes charge of humor component. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha make a cameo.
  
  Directorial touches of Gautham Menon are abundant through out the film especially with the portrayal of his characters which are very real. His stamp is unmistakable in the last scene when he juxtaposes real and real events. The director once again proves that he is after all a master craftsman especially in matters of love. The dialogues between Silambarasan and Ganesh are highly enjoyable and natural and that between him and Trisha receive loud applause from the audience. A sample is Silambarasan’s retort to Trisha when she wonders about his trip to Kerala- “When people go all out to America to woo their girl, I have after all come to Kerala.”
  
  This is the first time Gautham teams up with A R Rahman and his music has already scorched the charts and the songs are the strong pillars to the film. Audience breaks into a thunderous rapture with Hosanna and the choreography only highlights the effects of the number. Omana Penne is a poetic delight when the music, lyrics and the visuals weave a magical spell!
  
  It is a visual treat through Manoj Paramahamsa’s camera work when the backwaters of Kerala, ancient churches of Malta and USA are brought alive. The song sequences are a poetic treat indeed! Antony at the editing desk and Rajeevan helming art department lend a right kind of support to the film.
  
  On the flip side, the narration takes its own sweet time to unfold and it does not help much especially in the second half when things take time to move forward which tests the patience. The scene between Trisha and Silambarasan in USA is one such example. For people who expect a breezy love story VTV might disappoint them. A uniform engaging script and a crisper narrative could have tilted the balance completely in favor of this all love flick.
  
  Verdict: Dreamy love story in an unhurried pace!

  Yes, Kalyan. We enjoyed the film. One liners are too good! Audience reaction was also encouraging. So, kandippaa hit.

  நான் இதுவரைக்கும் ஒரு பாட்டின் பாடகர் குரலுக்கு
  இந்த மாதிரி கைத்தட்டு மக்கள் கொடுத்து இப்போது
  தான் பார்க்கிறேன்.அந்த பாடல் மன்னிப்பாயா,ரகுமான்
  பாடியது.
  
  
  சிம்பு, நிறைய சொல்லலாம் இவரை பத்தி.ரொம்ப
  அமைதியா, சவுண்ட் விடாம,பஞ்ச் பேசாம என்று
  சொல்லி கொண்டே போகலாம்.முதலில் இவர்
  த்ரிஷாவை இம்ப்ரெஸ் செய்ய பண்ணும் கலாட்டாக்கள்
  நன்று.
  
  த்ரிஷா, நல்லாவே திறமையை வெளிப்படுத்தி இருக்காங்க,
  நடிப்பு திறமையை தான்!!அப்புறம் சிம்புவின் கூடவே
  வரும் கேமராமேன் கேரக்டர் நல்லாவே கவுண்டர்
  விடுறார்.அப்புறம் பழைய அர்ஜுன்,சத்யராஜ் படத்தில்
  வில்லான வருவாரே அவர் இதிலும் வில்லனாக,,,,!
  
  மனோஜ் அவர்களின் கேமரா கண்ணுக்கு குளுமை.
  எனக்கு பொதுவா கௌதம் படங்களில் வந்த காதல்
  சீன்களில் அவ்வளவு ஈடுபாடு இல்லை,காரணம்
  நாயகனும் நாயகியும் எப்போதும் ஒரே விஷயத்தை
  மட்டும் தான் பேசுவாங்க.எனக்கு அது கொஞ்சம் போர்
  அடிக்கும் அவ்வளவு தான்."எப்போ நடந்ததுனு தெரியல..
  BUT I AM IN LOVE WITH U" என்று வசனம் வந்தால் அது
  கௌதம் படம் தான்.ஏன்னா அவர் பாதி தமிழ் பாதி
  இங்கிலீஷ் பண்ணி வசனம் எழுதுவார்...
  
  அப்புறம் கௌதம் அவர்களிடம் இன்னொரு பிடிக்காத
  விஷயம் *த்தா.... என்று அவர் எல்லா படத்திலும்
  திணிக்கிறார் அதுவும் இல்லாமல் அவரே டப்பிங்
  பேசுகிறார்.சென்னையின் மொழியாகி போன *த்தா...
  என்பதை ரோட்டில் கேட்டு கேட்டு புளிச்சு போச்சு அதை தியேட்டரிலும் கேக்கணுமா??
  
  ஏ.ஆர்.ஆர் அவர்களின் பின்னணி இசையில் எனக்கு
  பிடித்த இடம்...த்ரிஷா அண்ணனிடம் சிம்பு boxing
  சண்டை போடும் காட்சி...அதாவது டப்பாங்குத்து
  சவுண்ட் மாதிரி இருக்கும் ஆனா அதுவே கிளாஸ்ஆ
  இருக்கும்!.....

  "Enakku enna venumnu enakke theriyaadhu" says jessy(played by trisha)........"avan avan love-kaaga america-ve poraan, naa alleppey poga maattena" says karthik(simbU) in another scene.......there goes GVM - an intense, indulgent love story between a confused girl and a obsessive boy......this "dreamy" mechanical engineer, who seems to be a byproduct of maniratnam movie heroes, nurtures the "obsession" of becoming a director........his family, who live in a rented house, obviously disaprove to their son's ideas.......karthik then meets jessy, mallu christian house owner ponnu - instantly breaks into hosanna song for this stylish, well-read, avalavu azhagana ponnu.......karthik sets on to a drive of love which simply doesent have a brake........he falls head over heels, gets hit(in heart) badly and that is defintion of love for him.......his refuses to follow patterns of normality and parental advices.....he expresses his "tatkal" love to her......
  
  Jessy is really confused - so much so that she hasnt let any boy near her in life inspite of being a super figure (as said by karthik)........when karthik propose to her, at one point she doesent want him to follow her but takes a U-Turn next moment and yearns for him.........she gives contradicting signals by allowing physical advances of her obsessive follower as early as their 4th meeting.......she doesent know if its love, she doesent know, even if its love - will her dad accept it.......she outsources the important decisions of life to her dad due to her inconsistent thinking......she wanders into dangerous territories of love with karthik which has strong shades of flirting......dangerous because her dad who takes decisions for her would never approve a struggling director as her husband who also happens to be a Hindu.....heights of confusion occurs when she does a runaway bride in marriage arranged by her parents much to the happiness of karthik.....she is however still up in arms with her priorities....karthik is a mere puppet in her chaotic mood swings and offers love, sorry, kisses and rahman songs as compensation....she finally takes a decision (yes finally), but is she convinced about that? ah, never mind.....
  
  karthik, much like DevD, drowns into alcoholic love and lets jessy influence things in his life.......as his frnd says pointing to his heart "inga enna solludhu, jessy jessy-nnu solludha"..........his family gets moved to a new place due to his brawl, which again is for jessy.......he has a not-so-good impression in his first job as assisant director to KS.Ravikumar due to jessy..........he refuses to see the safe path of breakup, he refuses to acknowledge that there are other fishes in the pond even as jessy herself says "indha olagathula ivalavu per irundhum, yen enna love panna", he also refuses to acknowledge love of his co-worker(chanda of devd?).......jessy's final decision becomes the catalyst for his next move as well.......in a sudden rage of positive energy he starts writing story for his first movie and succeeds in that......time moves on but obsession & confusion stay
  
  how many movies do we see the mileu being set up in the first 5 mins and the main plot opening in less than 10 mins........how many directors would have the guts to loosen all important knots in first half and save only one for second half.......Gautam does it - its a very brave attempt by GVM since the movie is so much abt jessy and karthik that everything else hardly finds a place.......this is hardly the run of the mill love story which is brutally non-judgemental abt everything around it.......it doesent even stop to ponder abt heroine's sincerity, "ponnunga naale ippadi dhaanda machhan" etc......there is a very thin macro-political brush of mallu-tamil tension plus there is a very slight undercurrent of economic disparity between the 2 families......but those things hardly matter - its the characters which take the story forward........the dialogues were unbeliavably natural and were straight out of our daily lives.......the dialogues were witty, in adherence to characters and took its own sweet time.......there are recursive character strokes and dioalogues uttered but its so natural to repeat ourselves right?? however with these recursive pieces and the intense indulgence turns tiring after a point of time.......film badly missed a extra shade to their characters or some other incident/sequence......looking at it from a pessimistic view, story does look stretched and devoid of timing in many places......but that should hardly matter once you get into the characters......
  
  Simbu was supportive of the script by being very bland and subdued........pre-climax scene and climax scenes were highlights.........he did look clueless in some places but overall he was very good.....Trisha pulls it off with a bit of effort.....she does look stiff in some places and huge jyothika hangover but film really needed a trisha to depict a character which is not straight-forward......Manoj Paramahansa was brilliant as usual but songs picturisation and choreography were disappointments.......ARRahman is the hero of second half - where the screenplay falters, script goes into a loop, characters dont have a clue - its Rahman's BGM which carries the movie into safety of pre-climax and climax scenes......the mood of melancholy is set beautifully right from first scene by rahman.....its not the usual sugary love movie BGM.......heavy metal BGM for the heroine in a love story - take that says Rahman
  
  movie's title indicates a uneasy feel of "impossible".......Jessy is like the star in the sky living in fairy tales and this obsessive young karthik keeps questioning "will you come from the skies" over and over......

  I am just reminded of those VTV stills taken during the photo session . He had shots similar to previously released romantic movies like AlaipaayuthE, Kakka Kakka, Minsara Kanavu et al. That was very innovative and it had a message "Hey there, this is going to be different from all these stuff" and I think he has proved it.
  
  Need to appreciate GVM's marketing and promotional skills. Very intelligent and systematic. From start to end it was very clear that everything was set well for this movie.

  Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa is a must watch
  February 26, 2010 17:50 IST
  
  Love stories have always ruled the roost in Tamil cinema. But Red Giant Movies' and Escape Artists Motion Picture and R S Infotainment' s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (Will You Cross The Skies For Me) puts a new spin to the age old romantic tale.
  
  Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film is possibly one of 2010's most anticipated movies.
  
  The best part about VTV is that it revolves around people, rather than events. It's like putting a camera into the intimate, everyday life of two people and following them on their adventures. The characters go through a whirlwind of emotions, laugh and cry, and take you along with them.
  
  So you have Karthik (Silambarasan aka Simbhu), a mechanical engineering student just out of college, who cherishes the hope of becoming a filmmaker. His father (Kitty) is not convinced but Karthik is very persuasive. Eventually, he becomes an assistant director to K S Ravikumar (who makes the best of the few minutes he's allowed and has a blast). He's always around cameraman Ganesh (Ganesh) -- the two hunt for locations, share philosophies about life and become best friends, despite an age difference.
  
  Then Karthik's life turns upside down. Jessie (Trisha Krishnan [ Images ]) passes him by on the street -- and he's instantly smitten (here's where you have the delightful Hosanna, sung with enthusiasm). She's dressed simply, invariably in cotton saris or salwar kameezes, smiles politely, and never seems to even recognise him as she goes to her job at Polaris [ Get Quote ]. But everything she does excites him. He starts following her everywhere, eats where she eats, drinks what she drinks and in one sudden, completely un-looked for moment, confesses that he's 'crazy about her.'
  
  Jessie, however, is more shocked than impressed. What follows is her background: Malayali Christians from Alappuzha, her family will never consent to this. Jessie is firm, polite, but Karthik is reckless. He believes her heart tells a different story. He pursues her in earnest, only to be rebuffed even more, every time. They make a tentative arrangement to be 'just friends' -- but a train journey shows them that that can't happen.
  
  Finally, Jessie tells him flatly that she's going to get married, and nothing can stop the wedding. Life turns upside down for Karthik once again.
  
  This isn't exactly a story about a boy who falls hopelessly in love -- it's more about Jessie. His intentions and actions are simple: he's crazily in love with her, and has no idea why he fell in love with her. Jessie, on the other hand, is a marvelously complex character. You never know what her real feelings towards Karthik are until she talks to him; can't guess her motivations or her decisions because she herself doesn't know them.
  
  She wants romance but not without her father's consent, who would rather die than see his daughter married to a Hindu. Jessie maddens Karthik, tossing him like a cork on sea-waves and in the process, draws you in.
  
  As far as acting goes -- kudos to the director for the perfect casting. Simbhu finally learns to downplay things, and is a joy to watch, especially when he's in the throes of getting Jessie to love him. He's cautious, optimistic, blindly happy one moment and yet puzzled by her the next. His reaction to her every move is priceless; he does more with his body language than with dialogues.
  
  Trisha is a revelation. Shorn of her filmi make-up, she dazzles in Nalini Sriram's simple costumes. She transforms herself into a complicated person who wants something but can't bring herself to accept it. The hurt in her eyes when she asks Simbhu if he's 'moved on' is perfect. The two try to outdo each other in every scene, and the chemistry between them is palpable. And Gautam Menon has given full reign to it.
  
  Ganesh does a perfect job. Babu Anthony, Kitty and Uma Padmanabhan are believable, but this movie is so completely woven around the lead cast that the rest barely figure in it.
  
  Credit for their perfect portrayal, of course, goes to Gautam Menon. This is one director who's got the pulse of today's urban youth perfectly. Almost every one-liner in the first half earns applause. Despite being the usual love story, the plot twists and turns are admirable. There's logic and rationale in plenty.
  
  On the minus side, VTV suffers from the same defect as Vaaranam Aayiram: the second half lags in pace. The dialogues and confrontations are repetitive. There's a would-be love-track that seems unnecessary before the story takes off again.
  
  A R Rahman's [ Images ] soundtrack is very romantic; the background score fits in and Aaromalae is a delight. But some of the songs in the second half don't fit.
  
  Manoj Paramahamsa' s camerawork is sizzling. One moment, the tone is deep, soothing and romantic; at others, harsh and in-your-face. Antony's editing is sleek. Rajeevan's art-work is perfect. Silva's fight sequence, thankfully, segues in neatly, and is a pleasure to watch.
  
  The ending might take you by surprise. It's unconventional, but in hindsight, is the only way this story could have ended.
  
  English and Malayalam languages figure as much as Tamil in the conversation -- but this is a love story that, after a long time, is really about love, without the goondas, irate villains and mindless comedy. The characters and their emotions take precedence -- and that really is what love is all about. A must-watch.

  Vinnaithandi Varuvaya - Lengthy Love story
  IndiaGlitz [Friday, February 26, 2010]
  
  
  
  ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’, (VTV) and you know what its like to cross the sky and get into another dimension called love. ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ is a popular lyric from the ‘Vennilave Vennilave’ song from ‘Minsara Kanavu’ directed by Rajeev Menon and all of you know that. So director Goutham Vasudev Menon has rightly acknowledged Rajeev Menon in the first card of the Titles. How humble!
  
  Right from the time, the word ‘action’ was told, the film has been creating the ripples of expectation among director Goutham’s fans. He has surely tried his maximum to live up to the expectations. Captain Goutham and his team- comprising of editor Antony, art director Rajeevan, director of photography Manoj Paramahamsa and music by A R Rahman, just look at that combination, have always given us that feeling of modern cinema.
  
  Well technically, the movie is made with high values- Exceptional music, background score, re-recording, classy camera work, foreign locations, etc. All the technicians involved must receive that imperative appreciation for they have done their work with much finesse.
  
  The first in the list of technicians who have to be appreciated would be, undoubtedly, A R Rahman. Man! Isn’t he a creative genius! His 1st movie after the Oscar phenomenon. His music is one of the main reasons to the much acclaimed hype. The re-recording and the background score are really amazing. If you’ve listened to his songs in your personal stereo, then its only half of the magic you have experienced.
  
  The picturisation of the songs is simply remarkable and they complete the magic. God knows how Goutham gets his ideas and the eye of Manoj Paramahamsa who’s done ‘Eeram’ before, not just his eye that thought of those exotic locations but his ‘lens eye’ as well that caught all those beautiful locales. Watch those videos even with half opened eyes ad you’ll realize he hasn’t used a camera but a paint brush with the palette of colours from Mother Nature. The colour tones in the movie have been brought out quite amazingly. The songs especially, ‘Hosana’ and ‘Omanna Penne’ shot at Malta, are worth the watch at the cinemas. Songs get major attention in the movie and the other technician we are going to talk about is Rajeevan and his art-work in the sets of a few songs is fascinating. The D.O.P (director of photography) Manoj has used minimal artificial lighting in the movie, showing his signature style.
  
  We’ll come back to the people behind the camera a little later. Now is the time for the people in front of the camera. Trisha and Silambarasan as the lead pair, and quite a few veterans in the movie like Kitty as Silambarasan’s father and Bob Antony as Trisha’s father. All artists have done well especially Ganesh, also one of the producers, who plays Silambarasan’s friend, has acted well, and his dialogue delivery must be appreciated. Lets talk about- Silambarasan! We’ve seen him as a college student, as a mass character and we’ve seen him dance in the middle of the road, typical Chennai style, but can you imagine Silambarasan in formals, as a simple, regular guy-next door, decent and at his best behaviour? Well, he has proved he is not just the normal run-off-the-mill commercial hero but an actor who will mould himself into any character that a story demands. He’s come out of that commercial image with VTV. All were apprehensive about the fact that Silambarasan working with a classy director like Goutham. But the director has been persistent about Silambarasan and he hasn’t let the director down. Silambarasan has been in front of the camera since he was a kid and such a role as ‘Karthik’ in this movie is really not demanding or impossible to him. He hasn’t acted in this movie, but has been himself. His dialogue delivery appeared to be simple, just like how he would talk to anyone in his real life. He is an ambitious and aspiring film maker in the movie and in real life, he really is.
  
  Opposite Silambarasan is pretty lass Trisha. Trisha as Jessie has portrayed her character brilliantly, she hasn’t over acted or under acted, and she’s done it perfectly. Director of Photography, Manoj has prettified Trisha, and she looks prettier than her previous appearances. Saree clad in most of the movie, Trisha has pulled off a terrific performance. Nalini Sriram’s costumes might start a cult with the ladies from now on.
  
  Now we’re moving in to the ‘story, screenplay and dialogues’, by Goutham. Don’t expect us to be spoilsport and reveal the storyline and the cute screenplay of the movie. The first half till the interval will grab your attention as it has been nicely written and well taken. Some cute scenes between Silambarasan and Trisha look really candid and the camera man has managed to capture that cheeky chemistry between the two. According to the film promos, theatrical trailers, etc ‘VTV’ is a love story ‘with a difference’. There wasn’t anything particularly different to talk about, except for Silambarasan being gentle.
  
  Silambarasan wooing Trisha, their second pairing after ‘Alai’, is not at all impractical and you can relate their characters to real life. Their chemistry is enticing and they actually appear a cute pair. Silambarasan’s attitude in the movie is straight forward while Trisha is homely and conservative. The one thing you can’t relate to life or even agree is the hero meeting the heroine at her house, at his will without anyone noticing. Cinema has grown of age, or have people!?
  
  The screenplay in the first half is slow but the screenplay in the second half is slower.
  
  A faster screenplay might spoil the feel of a romantic movie. Back to technicians, Editor Antony has done a decent job but could have advised his Captain to chop off a few reels. Some of the audience thought the movie got over and they got off their seats when a song was being played! but the movie continued for 10 more minutes after that.
  
  Silambarasan, we all know fights well and dances amazingly. There is just one stunt sequence in the movie and that’s designed by Shiva who’s handled the fight scenes very well and Silambarasan is the demi-god we know, sustains not a single scratch on him. Silambarasan’s dance is admirable. Keeping in mind that most of the songs are not dance numbers, you’ll still see him sway to those tunes convincingly.
  
  Dialogues in the movie and especially Silambarasan’s dialogue delivery are worth mentioning. The dialogues make you giggle at times, and sometimes they make you feel- how one can be so romantic.
  
  Director Goutham has tried something ‘different’ but the audience is perplexed at the end. You wouldn’t know how to react after the climax. Weird! If you’ve been following all his movies and know his style of film making, then you would appreciate his work. There were rumours about two climaxes to the movie. The version the audience saw on the first day is not really lively.
  
  Finally a disclaimer: If and only if, you have all the time in the world, and you like the slow romantic genre, you’ll enjoy this one.
  
  VTV- a good beginning but confusing end.

  Happy after a long time - VTV
  
  The last time AR was part of a tamil movie that did well at the BO was in 2007! Almost had to wait 3 years for him to be part of another BO success going by all the strong positive reviews for VTV. Hope this is the beginning of a successful trend for this new decade. Hope he chooses the right tamil projects. Easy for me to say- I hear you say. But it's so very frustrating to see his work flushed down the toilet because the movie the soundtrack belongs to is an absolute dud.
  
  
  Well done AR on VTV and Gautham too for working with him. We hope to see many more from the two of you.

  Just back from the movie...
  
  To put it straight. VTV may not appeal for the masses. Its not the breezy love story like Minnale or Alai payuthey. This is an intense, mature portrayal of love. Simbu paiya... U r awesome. I bet nobody can identify him in the movie. Its Karthik and Karthik alone. Trishavukku nadikka theriyumnu ippodhaan theriyudhu. The romance that runs throughout the movie is awesome and no Director has brought the same to screen till date like GVM. Not even Maniratnam. Love failure aanavanga dhayavu seidhu padam paakkadheenga.. Gaali ayiduveenga.
  
  There are complaints that the second half is dragging and not like the first half. I don't think a racy screenplay in the 2nd half would've laid the same perfect road to that stunning climax.
  
  Ganesh was a real surprise element. Great find..
  
  Last but not least, it has again been proved that given a gr8 movie, ARR would go to any extent to out perform the other technicians involved in it. Be the guitar ludes or the Bgm in the fight or the female humming of 'Yen idhayam', this man has created magic..... This is certainly one of ARR's best in Tamil. Hope this combo continues to give us such wonderful outputs in days to come....

  You are right. Infact, i liked 2nd half more than the first, it had more depth IMO. Even Thalaivar's BGM was better in 2nd half than in the 1st.

  He's different!
  Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya 's (VTV) music sounds different because A.R. Rahman has dispensed with structured songs. “I was able to experiment with a non-structured song format for VTV because of Gautham Menon's understanding of the style and how it would work. Most others want the same beat / style and structure of existing formats.”

  This is true and my wife who is an ARR fan does not like the VTV songs that much precisely for this reason. She feels that the individual movements of the songs are impressive - but there is a lack of cohesion which is unmistakably unique to Rahman's popular songs.
  One more thing that she doesnt like is the over altering of some good singer like Benny dayals voice and I have promised to take her to the theater and find out what happens on the screen to warrant such a voice 'change'. Lets see.

  Just back from watching VTV....
  
  Kudos to Mr.Menon for a presenting clean movie sans violence, gore, blood. Could it have been better? Certainly! First half was racy. Second half dragged a lot. A lot of dialogues get repeated, too much of english. He takes a dig at himself (andha tamizh padaththula english-la dialog veppaarE or something like that.... avanvan kaadhalukkaaga America-kE pORaan naan inga varamaattEnaa). Second half-ai konjam surukki english dialogs-ai koraichchirundhaa innum nallaa irundhirukkum. Climax couldnt have been better. But த்ரோட்-ல லம்ப்-லாம் onnum illai.
  
  யங்கு Super Star Simbhu gives a clean performance without his viral viththai and
  பஞ்சு dialog.
  
  திரிசா looked beautiful but her character looked confusing (to me). lUsaa-paa nI-nu theatre-la kaththanum pOla thOnuchchu... padaththula vaRRa padaththula nadichcha heroine looked much beautiful than Trisha. I think she is the heroine in Telugu version.

  Movie Review: Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa
  A sparkling gem of a movie
  'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa' is brashly poetic, and director Gautam Menon is completely unapologetic about it. Menon, cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa and composer AR Rahman move us gracefully and jarringly from the gorgeous Alapuzha locales to the horrors of unrequited love.
  
  'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa' is the Tamil twin of Menon's own 'Ye Maaya Chesave' and is noticeably better, courtesy to its striking, talented female lead (Trisha). A swoon of thwarted love, the film contradicts everything we have come to expect from desi romantic movies nowadays. Instead of simply handling conventional material in a conventional way, 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa' takes the most expected material and handles it in the most unexpected way. For all its meditations on romantic disappointments, this is a slight, subtle film delivering a large enough sun-speckled slice of froth that's very watchable.
  
  'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya' is predictable at times, and does occasionally get a little sappy, but overall it's a sweet movie about genuine human emotion. Karthik (Simbhu) is a college passout, a wannabe filmmaker who, to achieve his dream, much to the chagrin of his dad, becomes an assistant to director Ravikumar and befriends a cameraman (Ganesh). Karthik falls desperately in love with Jessie (Trisha Krishnan), a mind bendingly attractive girl, who unfortunately happens to be a Malayali Christian. She develops a bond with Karthik, but can do little against her father's wishes. Jessie is to get married to someone from her own cast, and there is nothing that Karthik can do about it.
  
  This is not a soppy souffle of sentimentality. The chemistry between Trisha and Simbhu manages to pull the film through its admittedly hackneyed structure to become a surprisingly charming piece of work. Simbhu and Trisha are much more versatile than their Telugu counterparts Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. There are moments to treasure, they're small and delicately crafted. AR Rahman's score is exquisite, 'Hosanna' in particular is absolutely enchanting. Full marks to director Menon who has crafted a prickly platform to muse on the vagaries and complications of love.
  
  Final verdict? 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa' is a charming, light and warm romantic dramedy. Its a great movie for that day when you need a bit of comfort and love.
  
  
  rating-3.5/5

  விண்ணைத் தாண்டி வருவாயா- பட விமர்சனம்சனிக்கிழமை, பிப்ரவரி 27, 2010, 11:13
  
  
  நடிகர்கள்: த்ரிஷா, சிலம்பரசன், கணேஷ்
  ஒளிப்பதிவு: மனோஜ் பரமஹம்ஸா
  எடிட்டிங்: ஆன்டனி
  இயக்கம்: கௌதம் வாசுதேவ் மேனன்
  தயாரிப்பு: உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலினின் 'ரெட் ஜெயன்ட்' மூவீஸ்
  இசை: ஏ ஆர் ரஹ்மான்
  பிஆர்ஓ: நிகில் முருகன்
  
  மனம் லயித்து, கண்ணோரங்கள் கசிய இளமையின் அற்புதமான தருணங்களை உணர்ந்து ரசிக்க ஒரு அழகிய காதல் படம் தந்த கௌதம் மேனனுக்கு முதலிலேயே பாராட்டுக்களைச் சொல்லிவிடுவோம்!
  
  இந்தப் படம் குறைகளே இல்லாத படமல்ல.. குறைகள் இருக்கின்றன, மனதுக்குப் பிடித்தவளின் முகத்தில் அரிதாய் அரும்பும் பருக்கள் போல...! ஆனால் காதலில் விழுகிறவனுக்கு அவை பருக்களல்ல.. வார்த்தைகளால் விவரிக்க முடியாத கிளர்ச்சி தரும் அழகிய அடையாளங்கள்! அப்படித்தான் இந்தப் படத்தின் குறைகளும் என்று வைத்துக் கொள்ளுங்களேன்!
  
  ஏன் எப்படி என்றெல்லாம் யோசிக்கக் கூட அவகாசமில்லாத ஒரு நாளில், காற்றில் கூந்தல் அலைய தேவதையாய் வரும் த்ரிஷாவை முதலில் பார்க்கிறார் சிம்பு. அந்த வயதில் நடக்கும் ரசவாத மாற்றம் அவருக்குள்ளும். காதலில் விழுகிறார்!
  
  முதலில் மறுத்து, மழுப்பி, நட்பாகி, நட்பின் எல்லை மீறக்கூடாது என்று தெரிந்தே பொய் சத்தியங்களைச் செய்து, பின் அதை உடைத்து உதடு வழியாக இதயம் பரிமாறுகிறார்கள் இருவரும்.
  
  வழக்கம் போல மதமும் இனமும் இந்தக் காதலிலும் குறுக்கிட, அதை ஜஸ்ட் லைக் தட் உடைக்கிறது காதல்.
  
  ஆனால் மனங்களின் பிணக்கை உடைக்க முடியாமல் தோல்விப் பாதையில் திரும்புகிறது. காதலர்கள் பிரிகிறார்கள்... மீண்டும் இணைகிறார்களா என்பதை சின்ன வித்தியாசத்துடன், ஆனால் சற்றே குழப்பமான க்ளைமாக்ஸுடன் சொல்லியிருக்கிறார் கௌதம் மேனன்.
  
  மெக்கானிக்கல் எஞ்ஜினியரிங் முடித்துவிட்டு சினிமா மீது மோகம் கொண்டு அலையும் இளைஞனாக வரும் தமிழ்ப் பையன் சிம்புவுக்கும், பொலாரிஸில் பணியாற்றும் ஹை மிடில்கிளாஸ் மலையாளியான த்ரிஷாவுக்கும் காதல் அரும்பும் கணங்கள், சூழல், அவர்களின் நெருக்கம், விலகல், பிணக்கு, இணக்கம்... என உணர்வுகளை அற்புதமாகப் படமாக்கியிருக்கிறார்கள்.
  
  இந்தக் கதைக்கு அட்டகாசமாகப் பொருந்துகிறார் சிம்பு. இந்த வெற்றி அவரை மீண்டும் குரங்காட்டம் போட வைக்காமலிருந்தால், இன்னும் சில நல்ல படங்கள் ரசிகர்களுக்குக் கிடைக்கும் வாய்ப்பிருக்கிறது.
  
  த்ரிஷா ஆரம்பத்தில் சுமாராகத் தெரிந்தாலும், முடிவு நெருங்க நெருங்க நமக்குள் ஒருவராகவே மாறிப் போகிறார். தனது பாத்திரத்தை அத்தனை அழகாக உணர்ந்து நடித்துள்ளார். குறிப்பாக அவரது புதிரான குணத்தை அவர் வெளிப்படுத்தும் விதம்... எதற்காக அத்தனை நெருக்கம்... ஏன் அந்த திடீர் விலகல்?.
  
  ஏஆர் ரஹ்மான்- கௌதம் மேனன் கூட்டணி எடுத்த எடுப்பிலேயே இதயங்களைக் கொள்ளை கொள்கிறது. ஒவ்வொரு காட்சிக்கும் புதிய வர்ணத்தையும், வார்த்தைகளால் சொல்ல முடியாத உற்சாகத்தையும் வாரி இறைக்கிறது ரஹ்மானின் இசை.
  
  'மன்னிப்பாயா...' பாடலில் திருக்குறளை ரஹ்மான் மிக்ஸ் செய்திருக்கும் அழகுக்கே இன்னொரு ஆஸ்கார் தரலாம்.
  
  ஓமணப் பெண்ணே, ஹோசன்னா பாடல்கள் இந்த ஆண்டின் இளமை கீதங்கள்.
  
  சிம்புவுக்கு நண்பராக வரும் கணேஷ் சுவாரஸ்யமான பாத்திரம். நகைச்சுவை இல்லாத குறையை சரிசெய்கிறார்.
  
  மனோஜ் பரமஹம்ஸாவின் ஒளிப்பதிவும், ராஜீவனின் கலை நேர்த்தியும் சிறப்பு. இடைவேளைக்குப் பிந்தைய காட்சிகளை இன்னும்கூட ஷார்ப்பாக்கியிருக்கலாம் எடிட்டர் ஆண்டனி.
  
  அழகான விருந்தில் அசிங்கத்தை வைத்த மாதிரி, அந்த கெட்ட வார்த்தை காட்சிகள். கௌதம் மேனன் தன் படத்தில் தேம்ஸைக் காட்டினாலும், வாயிலிருந்து வரும் கூவத்துக்கு சுய சென்சார் செய்துகொள்வது அவசியம்.
  
  திரும்பத் திரும்ப ஒரே வசனத்தை சொல்வது எரிச்சல். எது நிஜ க்ளாமாக்ஸ், எது சினிமாவுக்குள் வரும் சினிமா க்ளைமாக்ஸ் என்பதில் முதலில் சற்று குழப்பம் ஏற்படத்தான் செய்கிறது.
  
  ஆனாலும்... காதலைப் பக்கம் பக்கமாக பேசுவதை விட, உணர்ந்து ரசிப்பதுதான் உன்னதமான உணர்வுகளைத் தரும். அந்த உணர்வுகளை அனுபவிக்க ஒருமுறை இந்தப் படம் பார்க்கலாம்!

  Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaiyaa
  
  Watched the film yesterday in Capsquare - I thot not many ppl know of this cinema but the almost full house proved me wrong. Got "couple seats" just 25 mins before the movie.
  
  VTV starts interestingly - the credits run along a stream of water with the reflections in English. Nice.
  The film begins and I am shocked to see English subtitles - a little distracting but helpful in interpreting malayali dialogues and hip-hop language.
  
  Hero wants to be a director and his friend is real life cameraman Ganesh (who acts as the sidekick and the only comedy track.) He seems a little uncomfortable but we laugh along.
  Talk is about asking Karthik (Simbu) to join as an assistant director to ... yes, Gautam? "Yaaradhu andha english varththaigal romba payanpaduthura directoraa? oru padaththa moonu varusham eduppaarE avaraa?" ok, I tell myself, this man can laugh at himself. There is also a line "avan avan kaadhalukku america pOraan, idhu enna kerala thaanE."
  
  Ajith fans will enjoy the beginning with some references to him. Karthik eventually joins with KS Ravikumar (as himself) and therefore we see some references to Aadhavan and even Sameera.
  
  There is a kissing scene - "idhu america thaanE. inga nadu road la kiss pannalamE." Unfortunately (or fortunately?) idhu malaysia - so the scene gets censored.
  
  Ok, to the movie...
  
  First half is extremely draggy...
  A meets B and then expresses his love to her.
  B says No.
  A says please.
  B says No.
  A says please.
  And this goes on for one hour!
  If there was a linear story, this is it.... GVM, NEVER ever comment on other people's productions.
  Just before the interval, something (eventually happens.)
  
  Second half isnt much better - only slightly.
  And then only we realise that, this IS the story!
  In the 2nd half, B says ok, lets try
  A then sings a song.
  Then the bad people come.
  And then KS Ravikumar steps in and adds some life to the story.
  Then there is some magic show.
  A few years passes and the magic recreates? Or does it?
  End of misery.... film.
  
  Dear mister gautam, when you mentioned that you are making a quickie, we didnt think you didnt have a story to tell.
  Pls mister, parental objections to love is old, older than romeo and juliet.
  
  But he is a prophet - in the last few scenes, someone tells Karthik that the film (he has taken) is a hit. "appadi thaan solluvaanga. monday vandhaa thaan theriyum."
  
  Verdict: Watchable - once. Thats it.
  
  I believe Simbu is talented - but a portrayal of a soft romantic hero? Sorry, doesnt jive. Maddy would have been better, but of course he is old.
  
  We are unable to feel with the characters - we dont laugh or cry with them. Without much of a story, and almost no laughs, VTV is drier than sahara. It is evident that Gautam is selling the film entirely on the strength of AR Rahman. Thats about the only hope for the film anyway.
  
  As for ARR, songs are so-so. Must remind Thamarai that lyrics are supposed to be poetic, not essays to be read out.
  BGM is acceptable but at some places we ask, "what was that all about?" ARR, pls explain the BGM after the train scene in the cafe. Were you trying to imitate Harris?
  
  In the end you think, plenty of releases last two months, but not even one is completely worthy.

  From Behinwoods Visitor Column;
  
  

  Quote:

  The buildup to Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (Will you cross the skies – for me) had me on tenterhooks anticipating a good romantic story and Gautham does it yet again, with a touch of class. VTV is sincere; it’s an honest attempt at portraying a couple’s real life rather than glossing it over to suit the “reel”. Dialogue delivery and timing was near perfect and was especially noticeable during the comic scenes when the audience erupted in laughter…step aside side track comedy roles, this is how comedy should be part of the main story. Whoever wrote the dialogues has obviously put a lot of thought into it. Background score and songs are terrific, no need to go into that here, we all know A.R. Rahman and more accolades will be coming his way. Complete Review

  Director Goutham has tried something ‘different’ but the audience is perplexed at the end. You wouldn’t know how to react after the climax.

  Finally a disclaimer: If and only if, you have all the time in the world, and you like the slow romantic genre, you’ll enjoy this one.

  You can tell Goutham was trying his best to be like Mani Ratnam. But @ the end, this movie is slow and boring.

  SILAMBARASAN'S CALL TO GAUTHAM
  
  
  
  
  
  February 27, 2010
  
  
  Silambarasan has apparently watched VTV with his fans in Chennai's Devi theatre to gauge the reactions his latest romantic flick has on his fans. Fans have hooted at his romantic scenes with Trisha in delight, apart from his introductory scenes and other emotional moments. A dutiful Silambarasan called up Gautham Menon immediately to share the delight with him in reassurance.
  
  VTV, released on Friday, took a fantastic opening across all the release centers in Tamil Nadu. The much anticipated flick of 2010 is also receiving good reviews from fans and critics alike.

• From: SoftSword on Sat Feb 27 14:09:58 2010.

  watched the movie... i liked the second half more than the first half.. i liked the timing of the songs...
  apart from usual nostalgic scenes, in one particular scene i related myself in the movie... the scene in mannippaya song when simbu rides his bike slowly and singing "tholai dhoorathil velicham nee...." by showing expressions with his one hand... thats how i usualy ride my bike, listening the song in headphones and sing loudly while returning from office late in the night... and when am a bit boozed while riding back, its ecstacy with arr...
  coming back to the movie, could not comment on the bgm cos i never noticed it overruling the narration... will speak abt that after a bgm-special watch... but i liked the thoughtful mustafa bgm... the moment that beat started i guessed wat simbu is gonna tell
  my verdict: innoru murai paatha dhaan edhayum thelivaa solla mudiyum... patthuttu vandhu solren...

  Just back after seeing VTV in one of the suburb theaters in chennai ....The film didn't work for me .
  
  In summary, the film is supposed to be on the conflict of interests of jessica and the perseverance of Karthik. Till , this point , its ok, fine and fair. But the conflict nearly doesn't develop much and what we see is the repetition of emotions in different locations. The mind of 'jessica' somehow fails to conect to the me in the second half. Sure, it was very interesting till 15 minutes intro interval and after that movie loses steam and drags until we have a interesting ,logical climax.
  
  Contrary to our hubbers opinion, i feel the technical department was a let down.
  
  1) While songs were superb and shot aesthetically and did take the story forward ( esp omanae penne was perfect), the bgm was a let down. Its a wonderful,modern bgm - but on a cd - not on the movie. The bgm was more for situations than for characters and their conflicts. May be the fact it was too modern and i couldnt relate to that in the overall bug picture.
  
  2) The other culprit is the camera - agreed, the scenes are aesthetically shot , angles, fade in all used effectively - it is aesthetic , but somehow i couldnt connect the picture tone to the overall focus - conflict of jessi . Sorry , it didnt work. It was too'white' for such a film.
  
  Having said this , GVM has been honest to what he wante dto say and he has made it with lot of conviction -= there are no sugar coatings , no silly comedy , no friendship-love confusion ( differentiate with the word conflict !) .
  
  The film didn't work for me , but well attempted gvm !!!
  
  

• From: MumbaiRamki on Sat Feb 27 15:58:42 2010.

  Pluses..
  
  1) Simbhu - teriffic , you can feel the love in the air and he is the MAN .
  
  2) trisha - exact fit and kudoa to the costume designer and the make up man ( esp check her hair throughout and how it fits her character )
  
  3) GVM , the director- every scene has been brought well , only the script writer that didnt work in the second half
  
  4) ARR - songs , perfect !
  
  

• From: rajasaranam on Sat Feb 27 16:44:20 2010.

  surprisingly the movie is too good. Though its yet another self indulgenge movie from GVM, Since the subject is 'Romance' it keeps you engaged till the last frame.

  some thoughts
  
  
  1. movie is not a classic.. but still its GOOD.. well written.. climax twist ellaam ethukkunnu therila.. but still the main strength of this movie is that its a romantic movie and everybody can connect with it..
  
  2. simbu and trisha do well..but not a tough job i guess.. neat job from them. ganesh and other side actors do well..
  
  3. english usage was not over the top but for some silly abuses..
  
  4. Songs were pleasing with some eraichals.. BGM was pleasant mostly but dint sync with the scenes at some places... but Vinnnaiiiii thaaaaaandiiiiii varuvaaaaaaaaaaayaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bit is irritating with karthik's voice.. gautham has a notch down in picturising songs... Vettaiyaadu touch inge illa..
  
  5. its a very very verbose movie.. but not boring.. dialogues apt at some places..
  
  6. romba onnum emotional-laa illainu thonuchu.. ippo intha comments type pannumpothu konjam feelings
  
  

• From: MumbaiRamki on Sat Feb 27 21:55:24 2010.

  some references to gvm in the movie ..
  
  Ganesh : neenga yaar kitta assistant director a seraknum aasa pada reenga
  
  Karthik: gautam menon sir kita ...
  
  Ganesh : yaaru ..english pesi tamizh padam yedupaare , avara ..?
  
  
  Karthik:namma azapuza ku porOm ne ..
  
  Ganesh : ennada ..
  
  Karthik: avan avanb kadhali thedi americave poraan ( VA ) ...
  
  ( BTW -> when i said the film didnt work for me , i meant it didnt completly meet my expectations , but neverthless otherwise enjoyable )

  Just saw the movie. Overall definitely good to watch once. The first half was very entertaining. Ganesh and Simbhu rock in the scenes they are together. Without their antics, the first half and even the movie as a whole would not have been as enjoyable. The surprise twist at the end was unexpected. All songs (except perhaps the title song) are great. GVM+ARR+Simbhu, hats off.

  i think thats what GM has attempted and succeeded in my opinion.......from a cinematic view, it was repetitive information and plot does look stuck......but i felt what GVM tried was giving us a slice of their lives "as it is".....he wanted to depict the pain and frustration of "on-off" relationships however repetitive it may sound......and looking at the impact, i think it has worked......

Trisha performed well too.Couldn't watch the last 10 minutes(due to my son getting cranky). But I have to say it was romantic & fantastic movie up until that point and I'm sure climax should have been good too based on the reviews here!

  VTV REVIEW
  
  
  February 27 (Calcutta Tube) Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya is a 2010 Tamil language film starring Simbhu and Trisha in lead roles. The Tamil movie is directed by Gautam Vasudev Menon while A.R. Rahman composed the music for the film. Read the complete critic’s review for Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya’ at Calcutta Tube.
  
  Film: ‘Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya’;
  Cast: Simbu and Trisha;
  Director: Gautam Vasudev Menon;
  Music: A.R. Rahman;
  Rating:2.5/5
  Gautam Vasudev Menon’s ‘Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya‘ is a clean romantic story without any deviation or sub-plots. While he succeeds in telling the love story in a pleasing manner, he fails to present the lead pair’s separation convincingly.
  
  The film is about Karthik (Simbu), an engineering graduate, who yearns to become a director and falls for beautiful Jesse (Trisha), the daughter of his landlord. Karthik tails Jesse for days before revealing his love for her.
  
  Though Jesse likes him, she tells him that her family is dead against love and advises him to treat her just as a friend. And Karthik agrees.
  
  Then at one point of time Jesse realizes that she too loves Karthik and tells him so. But at the same time, she is still apprehensive about her father and decides to bury her feelings for Karthik for her family’s sake.
  
  Jesse’s father fixes her marriage to a person of his choice. Jesse, who accepts it initially, ends up calling off the wedding as she cannot forgo her love for Karthik. But she isn’t ready to elope with Karthik either as she doesn’t want to hurt her father.
  
  The film drags on with the waiting game – nothing much happens except for the lovers meeting each other. Meanwhile, Karthik gets a chance to work as an assistant director and Jesse suddenly decides that their relationship won’t work and she leaves Karthik.
  
  What happens to the lovers and their love forms the rest of the story that culminates in an interesting but poorly executed twist.
  
  Menon has presented the lead pair’s relationship in a lovable manner. The dialogues are sharp and sensitive as well.
  
  The way Simbu acts out his love for the heroine is charming and the ambiguous reactions from Trisha are nice.
  
  The problem with the film is that it tries to bank heavily on style than substance. The reason and provocation for the separation are far from convincing. The screenplay falls flat when Jesse decides to put an end to the affair for almost no valid reason.
  
  A.R. Rahman’s music is a class apart. The title song and the ‘Omanapennae‘ song are very good. The background score is top notch. Manoj’s cinematography is spectacular and Nalini Sriram’s costumes for Trisha are fabulous.
  
  Trisha impresses with her mischievous looks and smile.
  
  For Simbu, the role is very different from his earlier roles. Menon has managed to bring out the mature actor in Simbu sans his gimmicks and cliched heroism.
  
  The movie is appealing in the first half but goes wayward in the second half due to a dragging script and unconvincing twists.
  
  Review 2
  
  February 28, 2010 (Calcutta Tube): Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya: Predictable but Competent
  
  Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya is blatantly guided by the mantra ‘Simple But Powerful’. There is nothing new about the film as it is a threadbare love story, but then Gautham Menon’s (the director) fascinating climax astonishes you.
  
  Young and colorful are the two words that can aptly describe Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya. It is a close-to-heart film for everyone, incisively catered to the tastes of the contemporary audience, especially, the youngsters. The film poignantly speaks about the love story between Karthik (Silambarasan), a wannabe filmmaker, who accommodates himself in a house as a tenant. Jessie (Trisha), an employee in Infosys, is the daughter of the house’s owner. Predictably, it is love at first sight for the young lad and he keeps following the traits of the hundreds of heroes who have been doing this over the years. But, after a certain extent, when he can afford to capture the heart of Jessie, he is discombobulated by Jessie. As her parents get to know about this, they arrange her daughter’s marriage with someone.
  
  What unfolds next is a series of events that are somewhat unpredictable.
  
  Talking about the performances, it is worth mentioning that Silambarasan and Trisha have delivered moderately good performances before. Silambarasan with his rejuvenated looks and mature performance keeps us engrossed by his gestures throughout the film. Be it the sequence where he follows Trisha to KFC and reacts to Trisha’s question– “Are you following me?” He reacts as coolly as a cucumber and responds by saying ‘not so’ and gradually keeps looking at her even though the waiter blocks his vision. There are lots of humorous quotes in order to deliver a comical effect. His emotional outbreaks and final touch of words with Trisha, where he reveals, ‘There’s a girl in my heart’ (actually he means Jessie herself)’ are reasonably moving.
  
  Sometimes, you will feel the film resembles ‘Oru Thalai Raagam’ that was a stunning love story with a decorous approach churned out decades before.
  
  Trisha is awesome. Maybe, she looks a little old compared with Silambarasan, but shares good onscreen chemistry with Simbhu. Gowtham Menon has keenly shaped her characterization and doesn’t let her overreact as she did in previous ones.
  
  Kudos to Gowtham for crafting the tale with fewer characterizations and don’t miss the guy accompanying Simbhu as a cinematographer (earlier performed a negative role in Gowtham’s ‘Pacchaikili Muthucharam’ as a taxi driver).
  
  A.R. Rahman leaves you speechless with his extraordinary music, with his ‘Aromalae’ and ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’ as signature themes that enhance the emotional quotients of the movie. Cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa is top-notch with his brilliant placements of camera angles and just makes the film so colorful. The elegance of Trisha’s house is superb and so are the exotic lanes of US.
  
  Anthony’s editing looks simple and fine. But his immediate cuts for the ‘Omana Pennae’ are annoying and it’s really tedious to see an inappropriate dance steps.
  
  When it comes to narration, the first half passes with interesting moments while the second hour has some sort of slow pace that ends up with a brighter note during climax.
  
  For sure, the film would make it big at the box office as there aren’t any big contenders for the next few weeks.
  
  Verdict: Feel the love
  
  Rating: 3.5/5

  The film is surprisingly very simple, natural and realistic. Most of the staging, scenes and dialogues strike a chord. Simbu is really good.
  
  But, err, I am surprised at the totally positive comments. After the interval point (the cinematic scene done with unbelievable sensitivity), the film solely relied on Jessy to take the film forward, but either Jessy remains undeveloped in the script or Trisha is simply not capable to bring it on to the screen. Going by the convincing first-half, I suspect it's the latter. She is either playing it too low-key or just clueless. I would very well say Chinmayi was the lead actress of the film!
  
  A big thumsup for the first half - lovely. Though the film ended well, I couldn't escape the disappointment - what this film could really have been.
  
  And a pet peeve - I wish it was not love at first sight
  
  

• From: Plum on Sun Feb 28 11:19:55 2010.

  AravindMano, uncanny. I was going to put forth similar views. Tirisa is just about adequate and I wasn't impressed with whoever dubbed for her either. Malayalam vaachE ellaam, the dubbing artiste strains desparately. Chennai born, sumaar malayalamnu gautamar anticipatory bail vaangittaalum, it was like *cue mallu dialogue* and the dubbe starts speaking.
  
  That apart, I thought the writing of jessie saved the character despite tirisa.

• From: Plum on Sun Feb 28 14:18:09 2010.

  What Gautam Menon has made is an intensely personal movie. There were times I felt things like the malayalam is not upto scratch or that the dialogues are cringeworthy or that the staging is too picture perfect for my liking - but that would be the film I wanted to see, not the one Gautam wanted to make.
  Jessy is written so very well, that Trisha who possibly confounded some of the viewers still doesn't take away anything. In the context, it was possinbly a brilliant choice to let key aspects of the conflict in her mind through Sms-es. The film goes through a phase where the conflict unwinds solely through Sms-es projected onto the screen. While the dialogue in general leaves a lot to be desired - I also suspect that the dialogue wasn't really prewritten or done by one person; - The smses are worded very effectively, and are natural, too. Some benefits of the director/writer's backgrorund. More importantly, Trisha not delivering these as conversation possibly saved the movie.
  
  What is interesting is that Gautam hardly has invested in Karthik's character - it is Jessy and Jessy all through. The brother and father are almost caricature but just manage to stay this side of the line.
  Simbu and M.Tirisa are adequate. Had to take it from my wife who had wanted to see Nagarjuna's son in the telugu version. Simbu's best performance-AmAm; underplay panni irukkaar(n)am etc solli koottindu ponEn.
  Samantha seems to be carrying good reviews - telugula paathirukkalAmOnu thONaradhu
  
  Another irritant was the sub titles - I hate sub titles it is distracting and keeps reminding you are watching a movie - which you don't want unless you are watching a vij...er...mass hero movie of recent times.

  its also very difficult to express in words how one feels. GVM tried his best and it came out really well
  
  also every house has a 2nd floor and there is a lot of chance of girl living upstairs.. many would have felt this movie close to their heart..
  
  Trisha character was a typical south indian girl... confused between parents and love..

  OVER THE SKY
  
  ... AND RARING TO GO,IS HOW SIMBU IS AFTER THE RELEASE OF VINNAITHAANDI VARUVAAYAA
  
  SREEDHAR PILLAI Times News Network
  
  Simbu is suddenly the most-wanted actor in Kollywood.His Gautham Menon film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV) released on Friday and has taken an awesome opening worldwide.With the movie,the actor has made a total transition from a finger-wagging,punch-line spewing mass hero to a class act.Today,everybody wants to work with him and girls who earlier found him a little crass,now say he is the hottest poster boy in the industry.Simbu opens up about his new-found star status and a lot more in an exclusive to CT.
  
  What does VTV mean to you
  
  It has given me a new image,thanks to that magician of movies,Gautham Vasudev Menon.Its an honest,straight-from-theheart movie;a young mans account of his first love.The film has taken me to the next level,and has given me an elite audience.
  
  With your makeover in VTV,you have turned from a mass hero catering to B & C centers to a class multiplex hero.
  
  I saw VTV alone for the first time at a preview theatre a week before its release.I watched it purely as a Gautham Menon fan.It hit me in the same way that my character in the film Karthik explains how he got hit by love at first sight,as he says,Ennai Adichadhu Andha Kadhal (that love hit me).
  
  Your on-screen chemistry with Trisha is crackling.Are you in love with her ?
  
  The chemistry worked big time because we have known each other for a very long time and she is a good friend.But I am still single and ready to mingle.(Laughs)
  
  Women are going weak in the knees over your character in the film.
  
  Honestly,VTV has given me a new image among girls.A girl from Singapore wrote to me on my social networking page that she was so moved by my performance that she wants to marry her ex-lover whom she ditched some months back!
  
  What are your impressions on working with a class director like Gautham Menon
  
  GM,as I call him,is the most phenomenal talent in Kollywood.The first time he narrated the story to me,I was bowled over by his love for filmmaking.He never thrusts anything on his actors.He gives respect to his artistes and receives the same.The kind of exposure he has to life,music,performances and nuances is awesome.Right from the day I saw Minnale (firstday,first-show on my birthday,February 3) as a 16-year-old who bunked school to watch it,I have been hooked to his films.Ten years later,I watched VTV in the same theatre.It made me nostalgic.
  
  Some say that you are making a mistake by tinkering with your mass image by doing films like VTV
  
  .My fans love me in VTV and the feedback Im getting is very positive.They feel Ive done something different and made them proud.I want to break the formula.In future,I will do films that I want to and try to balance between mass and class.
  
  Are you doing your next film with Mani Ratnam
  
  No comments.But,who would not like to do a film with Mani sir?

  விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா (Spoilers ahead)
  
  கையளவு இதயம், அதில் கடலளவு சோகம்! இதுதான் விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா. காதலில் விழுந்தவர்களை மட்டுமல்ல, விழாதவர்களை கூட போட்டு தாக்கிவிட்டு போகிறது படம். சிக்கி முக்கி கல் போல த்ரிஷாவும், சிம்புவும் உரசிக் கொள்ளும்போதெல்லாம் பெரும் நெருப்பில் குளிர் காய்கிறான் ரசிகன். கவுதம் வாசுதேவ மேனனின் இந்த படம் பிக்காசோ ஓவியம் போல எந்த பக்கம் பார்த்தாலும் அழகு!
  
  ஹவுஸ் ஓனரின் மகள் த்ரிஷாவை முதல் பார்வையிலேயே காதலிக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிடுகிறார் சிம்பு. இவரை விட ஒரு வயது மூத்தவரான த்ரிஷாவுக்கு சிம்புவை காதலிக்க ஏகப்பட்ட யோசனை. வயசு, இனம், ஓடிப்போன அக்கா, அப்பா அண்ணனின் கண்டிப்பு, என்று கணக்கு போட்டு காதலுக்கு 'நோ என்ட்ரி' போட அதையெல்லாம் உடைத்துக் கொண்டு உள்ளே நுழைகிறார் சிம்பு. நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும் ஜெயப்ரதா போல, ஒரு கணம் தேவதை. மறுகணம் காட்டேரி என மாறி மாறி சிம்புவை கொன்றெடுக்கிறார் த்ரிஷா. ஒரு கட்டத்தில் இவரை விட்டு விட்டு அமெரிக்காவுக்கு ஓடிப்போகும் த்ரிஷா, சிம்புவை மீண்டும் பார்க்கும் தருணம் எது? என்னவாகிறது அவர்களுக்குள் பொத்தி வைத்த காதல்? மனசை அறுக்கும் ரஹ்மானின் பின்னணி இசையோடு முடிகிறது படம்.
  
  மார்க்கெட்டில் விற்கும் மொத்த பூசணிக்காயையும் வாங்கி வந்து சுற்றிப் போடலாம் சிம்புவுக்கு. எந்த கட்டத்திலும் மீறாத நடிப்பு. வழிய வழிய காதலோடும், குறும்போடும் திரிகிற இவரை பார்க்க பார்க்க மட்டுமல்ல, பார்த்தவுடனேயே பிடித்துப் போகிறது. (தனுஷ் கவனிக்க- இது படத்திலேயே வருகிற வசனம்) த்ரிஷா இல்லாமல் சிம்பு தனியாக இருக்கும் காட்சிகளை விரல் விட்டு எண்ணி விடலாம். சேர்ந்திருக்கும் காட்சிகளில் அநியாயத்துக்கு ரசவாதம். ப்ரண்ட்ஸ் என்ற ஜெட்டில்மேன் அக்ரிமென்டோடு பழக ஆரம்பிக்கும் சிம்பு, அடுத்த ஐந்தாவது நிமிடத்தில் அதை மீறி விரல் பழகுவது த்ரிஷாவின் விரல்களோடு. கால்களில் முத்தம், கண்களில் முத்தம் என்று முன்னேறி 'பச்சக்' என்று உதட்டில் முடிய, அந்த ரயிலிலிருந்து தள்ளியே விடப்படுகிறது 'ப்ரண்ட்ஸ்' என்ற உறவு. இவர்கள் தொடர்பான கேரள காட்சிகள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் காதலில் மீண்டும் மீண்டும் விழ வைக்கிற அபாயகரமான அவஸ்தை பள்ளம்!
  
  எந்த படத்திலும் இதுவரை நாம் பார்க்காத த்ரிஷா. மூத்தவர் என்று முன்பே சொல்லிவிட்டதால், அங்கங்கே எட்டிப்பார்க்கிற மெச்சூரிடியை கண்டு கொள்ளாமல் விட்டுவிடலாம். விலகவும் முடியாமல், நெருங்கவும் துணியாமல் தவிக்கும் தவிப்பை அசால்டாக சொல்லிவிடுகிறது அவரது முகம். "நீ என்னை ஃபாலோ பண்ணியா?" என்று கேட்கிறபோது அவரது கண்களில் தெரியும் எதிர்பார்ப்பு அழகோ அழகு.
  
  வேண்டுமென்றே சிம்பு வெறுக்கும்படி நடந்து கொள்கையில் 'ஸாரிடா' என்று கெஞ்சுகிறது கண்கள். இந்த படம் த்ரிஷாவை இன்னும் ஐந்து வருடங்களுக்கு ரீசார்ஜ் செய்திருக்கிறது என்பதுதான் நிஜம்.
  
  "உன்ன பசங்கள்ளாம் விரட்டு விரட்டுன்னு விரட்டியிருப்பானுங்களே..." சிம்பு கேட்க, "அவங்கள்ளாம் உன் கண்ணால என்னை பார்க்கலையோ, என்னவோ" என்று த்ரிஷா சொல்கிற வசனங்கள் அற்புதம். படம் நெடுக இப்படி கொட்டிக்கிடக்கின்றன கவிதைகள். ரகளைக்கும் பஞ்சமில்லை. அடிக்கடி த்ரிஷாவின் பின்புறம் பார்த்து தவிக்கும் ரசிகனின் வார்த்தைகளாக சிம்புவின் டயலாக் இப்படி நொறுக்குகிறது. "உன்னோட ஃபிரண்ட்டை பார்த்ததை விட 'பேக்'கை பார்த்ததுதான் அதிகம்"
  
  படத்தில் நிறைய கேரக்டர்கள். ஆனால் பளிச்சென்று மனதில் நிற்கிறார் கேமிராக்காரராக நடித்திருக்கும் கணேஷ். இவரது குரலே ஒரு கேரக்டர் போல கவனத்தை ஈர்க்கிறது.
  
  கண்ணா பின்னா கலாட்டாக்கள் இல்லாமல் அழகழகான காஸ்ட்யூம்கள். சிம்புவும் த்ரிஷாவும் ஸ்பெஷலாக நன்றி சொல்லலாம் நளினி ஸ்ரீராமுக்கு.
  
  அழகிய நதியில் டைட்டில்கள் மிதக்கிற அந்த முதல் காட்சியிலேயே மனசை அள்ளிக் கொள்கிறார் ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் மனோஜ் பரமஹம்சா. அதன்பின் வருகிற ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியும் அவரது இருப்பை அழுத்தமாக சொல்லிக் கொண்டே இருக்கின்றன. அதுவும் கேரளாவின் அழகை குளிர குளிர பந்தி வைத்திருக்கிறாரே, ஜில்ல்ல்ல்ல்ல்!
  
  ஆஸ்கருக்கு பிறகு வருகிற முதல் படம் என்பதாலோ, அல்லது ஸ்பெஷல் கவனிப்போ தெரியாது. ராக ராஜாங்கம் நடத்தியிருக்கிறார் இசைப்புயல் ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான். மன்னிப்பாயா தொடங்கி, ஓமணப்பெண்ணே, ஹோசன்னா என்று அத்தனை பாடல்களிலும் ஏதோ ஒரு சொர்க்கம் தெரிகிறது.
  
  படத்திலேயே ஒரு படம் வருகிறது. அதையும், இதையும் மிக்ஸ் பண்ணியிருக்கிற விதத்தில் கொஞ்சம் அலட்சியம் தெரிகிறது. பக்கத்து சீட் ஆசாமியிடம் 'டைம்' கேட்டு திரும்புகிற நேரத்தில் கதை புரியாமல் போய்விடுகிற அபாயம் இருக்கிறது. இரண்டு பேரும் ஒன்று சேர்ந்திட்டாங்களா என்ற கேள்வியோடு வெளியேறுகிறார்கள் பல ரசிகர்கள். தவிர்த்திருக்கலாமோ?
  
  விண்ணையும் மண்ணையும் ஒருசேர அளக்கிற காதலை, அந்த பிரமிப்பு மாறாமல் உணர வைத்து 'போட்டு தாக்கியிருக்கிறார்' கவுதம்!

  Simbu’s turn around
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, March 01, 2010]
  
  
  After ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ released on Friday Silambarasan has become the new lover boy of Tamil cinema. With ‘VTV’ Silambarasan has reached the hearts of up market multiplex patrons from only front benchers’ favourite. Silambarasan has proved he is more than just kuthu songs and finger fiddling, he can even moist your eyes by his performance.
  
  How was that possible? Silambarasan owes everything to Goutham Menon. In awe with Goutham, Silambarasan says the director got the best out of him by just letting him be. Silambarasan is conscious of the fact that ‘VTV’ has taken him to the next level and he has to be very careful to stay there and further his movement upwards.
  
  On the miraculous chemistry between him and Trisha in ‘VTV’, the new darling of the elite film goers says he and Trisha are friends for a very long time and that made it possible. We reported earlier even Trisha agreed to this truth.
  
  Now with the talks of a Mani Ratnam film coming his way, Silambarasan has finally decided to take his job seriously.

  Simbu: Over the sky
  SREEDHAR PILLAI , TNN, Mar 1, 2010, 12.00am IST
  
  VaruvaayaaSimbuSimbu is suddenly the most-wanted actor in Kollywood. His Gautham Menon film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV) released on Friday and has taken an awesome opening worldwide.
  
  With the movie, the actor has made a total transition from a finger-wagging, punch-line spewing mass hero to a class act. Today, everybody wants to work with him and girls who earlier found him a little crass, now say he is the hottest poster boy in the industry. Simbu opens up about his new-found star status and a lot more in an exclusive to TOI.
  
  What does VTV mean to you?
  It has given me a new image, thanks to that magician of movies, Gautham Vasudev Menon. It’s an honest, straight-from-the-heart movie; a young man’s account of his first love. The film has taken me to the next level, and has given me an elite audience.
  
  With your makeover in VTV, you have turned from a mass hero catering to B & C centers to a class multiplex hero.
  I saw VTV alone for the first time at a preview theatre a week before its release. I watched it purely as a Gautham Menon fan. It hit me in the same way that my character in the film Karthik explains how he got hit by love at first sight, as he says, ‘Ennai Adichadhu Andha Kadhal (that love hit me).’
  
  Your on-screen chemistry with Trisha is crackling. Are you in love with her?
  The chemistry worked big time because we have known each other for a very long time and she is a good friend. But I am still single and ready to mingle. (Laughs)
  
  Women are going weak in the knees over your character in the film.
  Honestly, VTV has given me a new image among girls. A girl from Singapore wrote to me on my social networking page that she was so moved by my performance that she wants to marry her ex-lover whom she ditched some months back!
  
  What are your impressions on working with a class director like Gautham Menon?
  GM, as I call him, is the most phenomenal talent in Kollywood. The first time he narrated the story
  to me, I was bowled over by his love for filmmaking. He never thrusts anything on his actors. He gives respect to his artistes and receives the same. The kind of exposure he has to life, music
  , performances and nuances is awesome. Right from the day I saw Minnale (first-day, first-show on my birthday, February 3) as a 16-year-old who bunked school to watch it, I have been hooked to his films. Ten years later, I watched VTV in the same theatre. It made me nostalgic.
  
  Some say that you are making a mistake by tinkering with your mass image by doing films like VTV.
  My fans love me in VTV and the feedback I’m getting is very positive. They feel I’ve done something different and made them proud. I want to break the formula. In future, I will do films that I want to and try to balance between mass and class.
  
  Are you doing your next film with Mani Ratnam?
  No comments. But, who would not like to do a film with Mani sir?

  Movie is too good, i don have any confusion over Trisha's characterisation,not even a single scene i have a confusion of her character. GVM's portray of two characters are top notch, i liked her in second half than first half. will watch it again and again one liners are too good, have noticed GVM in the scene, Simbu: "Security kitta solli vainga, ulla vida maatenkuran" ,
  
  dialogues in the boat,boatman tells something like she likes u so much Ganesh: dei vaanukku eppadi da therium
  Simbhu: avanukku kooda therinjirukku
  dialogues are good than his previous movies,especially the cameraman's dialogues
  
  Other details after 2 weeks
  
  first half-la ava varra sila scenes pudikkala,GVM could have avoided fan infront of her, i did not like it.

  Gautham Menon’s gamble pays off!
  Gautham Vasudev Menon’s gamble of having two different endings for Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (VTV) and its Telugu version Ye Maaya Chesave (YMC), has paid off handsomely at the box-office!
  
  Towards the finale, both films have the heroes screening their debut films for their lady loves, but what happens next is as different as pongal is from pesarattu.
  
  It is for the first time that a Tamil film’s dubbed version has a different climax in Andhra. Initially, the trade was hesitant whether it would work out, but Gautham Menon insisted on trying it out.
  
  Both VTV and YMC have been declared hits by the trade. This paves way for Tamil films dubbed into Telugu to experiment with different endings in future, to suit local taste!

  very good review Raghs
  
  

• From: Thirumaran on Mon Mar 1 10:11:38 2010.

  my Take on vinnai Thaandi Varuvaayaa -- Spoilers ahead -- (spoilers irukkaannu therila.. ethukkum solliduraen, ethukku vambu )
  
  The first thing which surprised me in the hub is .. So much of extreme positive reviews in hub.. that too from those who did not like GVM.. is that because of ARR and love factor of the film..
  
  That too.. ithaan best love story ngra alavuku paesurathu
  
  One of the best things in the movie is the characterisation of Jessy to certain extent.
  Veetu nilamaikaaga Karthik Love a othukirathu.. but suththamaa avana avoid panna mudiyaama irukirathunnu.. it was well made..
  
  But at the same time.. Friends nnu pazhaguvoam sonna few days layae.. kiss pannra aavukku allow pannum boathu it falters.. antha alavukku poanathukku appuram thirumbavum verukirathunnu kaamikum boathu sirippu thaan varuthu
  
  And this love then hate kind of things was shown till the end of movie and it leaves viewers to get bored after a certain point, even before the interval
  
  Avvalavu paithiyamaa irukira karthik, oru 2 minutes jessy kooda paesa spend panna mudiyaama kaaturathu, does not fit well. Appuram all of a sudden everything ends Not only Karthik, even several viewers could not get what was wrong
  
  The biggest Plus of the movie is ARR songs and the way it was picturised BGM was excellent too
  
  Simbu was natural for a change
  
  The way they have taken the climax was nice
  
  Lots of negative responses in the theater.
  Very less chances to become at least a hit in B and C centres.
  Would end up as average i guess.
  
  
  in A centres it is between hit and Super hit.. that is it.
  
  
  GVM should have concentrated on the pace of the movie. But there are several places GVM makes a mark and his making style is somehthing unique. Athukaagavae for him.
  
  I would wait another 2 weeks to call Maddy as Surya. Mariyaathaya vaenumnaa Suryar nnu koopiduraen
  
  For Maddy's Signature....
  Ithu romba old style Maddy Latest techniques niraya irukku
  
  
  Movie is definitely watchable once for youths and those who behaves like youth (like me ).
  
  I might watch it again as i am getting free tickets

  Once again a Honest review from ungal abimaana HonestRaj
  Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya
  Film starts in a typical Goutham Vasudev Menon's style. .the hero narrating the story which I normally don't like. But as the film goes, I got interested in the happenings.
  
  Intially I liked only Hosana song.. but after watching the film.. I liked almost all songs. For the most part of today, I was listening only to VTV songs.
  
  There is nothing new in the story… Hindu boy in love with a Christian girl.. (like Alaigal Oyvathillai) But he had made few changes here & there.. like the girl expecting his father to marry his loved one.. but the father was sticking to his own till the end of the film (a change from Kadhalukku Mariyadhai).
  
  There were lot more dull moments.. esp. there are more conversation. The only light moment is whenever the support character (simbhu's friend) comes in the scene.. & for Goutham .. for choosing some new face for this character.
  
  
  What I liked much is Goutham has his own style in film making & the way he showed the climax is never expected it.. though it was like 2 endings.. & it gives an option to remove one after seeing viewers response in a week.
  
  When I say, GVM has a style.. want to mention this:
  He knows what he is going to present for us.. he hasn't made any compromise.. there will be a dialogue in VTV about himself.. Simbhu wants to join as an asst. director to GVM.. his friend wud say something like this.. "english'la pEsi thamizh padam edukka pOriya".. he typically targets A centre audience...
  
  I also thought... atpresent who can narrate this kond of story like the way he did.. I think no one can do it .. even Shankar (topmost commercial A class director in Tamil - at present) cannot do it... he always rely on typical commercial elements right from Gentleman to Sivaji...
  
  
  This is no Varanam Aayiram.. with all those make-ups.. & dramas. .so I liked it better than VA.. but not like the one says.. I u r in love.. u like it.. (or) atleast u shud have a first luv (or) a newly / young married couple.
  
  I liked how GVM presented the story & not the story itself.. love pannathaan indha padatha rasikka mudiyumna.. appadipatta eera vengayame thevai illai. .
  
  I don't see any true love in this film.
  
  - TBC

  Half of the movie story goes along with songs. So LM kku pidikalainaa thaan aachcharyam..
  
  But Most of the hubbers might like it. That is different. I liked the AO and this putting in same pedal with response to hubbers liking. Eppadi AO, veli ulagathukku pidikalayo,athe thaan intha movie.. But the response for this movie will be much than AO,w.r.t A centres and slightly w.r.t B and C centres.
  
  Regarding the theater response in kovai i was not exagerrating..
  
  Hubbers HR, Sudha ellaam paarthuttu thaan irunthaanga..
  
  As i said it is definitely watchable once. Nothing more than that overall.

  I donno what is true love. .but I can say what cannot be termed as love..
  
  for example:
  1. sun music'la oru paattu mudiyaradhukkulla 100 sms anuppuradhu. .like, I luv xxxxxx.. bujjima saaptiya .. etc. etc.
  
  2. ettavadhu padikkira ponnum, onbadhavadhu padikkira payyanum theru mukkula ninnu pesikittu irukkuradhu...
  
  idhu madhiri sollikite pOlam
  
  
  to quote a few from VTV:
  
  1. Simbhu tries to kiss her on few occasions & he wins the battle finally
  
  2. Simbhu has a dialogue: "friends'na. .summa friends'ave irukka mudiyuma"
  
  3. Simbhu solradha kEtuttu Trisha kovama thirumbhi poyiduva..
  simbhu: (not exact) edhavadhu kOvamna.. sollama thirumbhi poyiduva.. avaloda front'ah parthadhavida.. ava back'aithan adhigama parthurukkEn < GVM cud have easily avoided this by changing it as : ava mugatha vida mudhugaithan adhigama parthurukken.. >
  
  's from the crowd for this dialogue
  
  4. & finally.. simbhu shouts at Trisha... I want to make love with u always ( i am almost sure this was the dialogue)
  
  just one fellow clapped for this .. may be others cudn't understand this (or) they were silent after understanding what he means

  Subtitle plus indha kodumai.
  
  It is a well made movie but simbu wasn't as good as the comments here.adhaavadhu "indha padathula fight illai, openig sog illai, vulgarity illai so great moviengara" maadhiri "simbu indha padathula punj dialogue illai, viral vithai illai so nalla nadichirukkaar" He didn't spoil it avlo dhaan - same goes for tirisa. And tirisa could be a spoiler for some(joe, beware!).
  
  As aravindmano observed, I would have liked no love at first sight angle - but romance padam, indha maadhiri sops ellaam koduthu dhaan aaganum. No other character except jessy is developed - which is fine since it is an intensely personal movie - but the man on whose behalf we are investing so much - karthik - isn't developed either. And as i said menon needs a dialogue writer.
  Incidentally, baradwaj rangan has put in a brief comment - obviously he liked it (with flaws and all) but he also mentioned that he was sold on jessy but not tirisa

  Simbhu's performance.... He has acted well'nu ellam solla vendiyadhillai... he left all his negatives.. so he looked good in this.
  
  It was similar to his performance in Kovil
  
  Trisha --- ennaikkumE Trisha mEla enakku endha oru aviprayamum illai.. she looked better than most of her earlier films
  
  
  A R Rahman --- GVM used all his songs & the RR is also good .. Harris mainly scores in songs.... but this time.. Goutham's film looks much better with ARR's music
  
  
  Want to mention this:
  
  When Simbhu.. gives his idea to a cameraman (his friend).. "indha kadhai Thala Ajith panna nalla irukkum.. satharana oruthan don aagi.. billa madhiri" ... lot of in theater...
  
  // Ajith please work with good directors (or) with the directors who make magic with average scripts //
  
  Overall a good film. . neatly presented without thinking much about adding commercial elements ... but GVM shud avoid / come out of these words ( *tha, f*ng ) in his dialogues. .so that it wud be much better...
  
  Next seems to be his fav Cop story with one of his fav star.. Ajith... looking forward for this one..

  The meaning of Hebrew 'hOshanA' (hosanna) is 'save now'.
  
  As recorded in the history of Jesus, people shouted this word and waved palm leaves, when he entered Jerusalem sitting on a colt (of donkey) as a king.
  
  Based on that account, churches generally use this phrase in songs etc, typically for jubilation & euphoria (and most sing without knowing the meaning).
  
  So, it's not 'ellAppugazhum' thingy

  Joe, adhE. One thing that must be taken in is that gautam makes no bones/efforts about the milieu or authenticity. The malayalam is functional he only makes perfunctory nods to the background of the characters - like adding flavouring - and that is not a bad thing. As Maddy observed, it is about Jessy and Karthik, that's all(actually, that is probably th intent; it ended up as jessy and jessy...and jessy) - what must be appreciated is that gautam menon has made an intensely self-indulgent, personal movie and except for that fight scene(which is also written well into the movie), absolutely no compromises. While that by itself isn't a qualification, the movie has superbly worked around its limitations(tirisa, for instance).
  Another thing is I want to say a well written movie as maddy said but the dialogues, oh man, the dialogues - poor simbu unf#**ing ellAm roll aga maatemgudhu natural-A. Make love to youlAm paavam remba kastam.

  when jesus entered jerusalem for the first time, people were so happy and screamed "Hosanna!!"
  
  and the connection here is, when Jessy enters simbu's life for the first time, out of happiness and love, he sings "Hosanna"
  
  valid???
  
  
  and some people may say, hosanna is kannada word for "new rice"

  Exactly Joe, why we should look for a true love or fake love etc etc ,a love story should not be always like cutting- the- tongue in the climax followed by some touching dialogues,its not climax oriented love story, it just the story of two people, Trisha's characterisation is well written, and simbhu acted well. i don think so it can be shown better than this...

  yes, movie is just so much insulated from any sort of social commentary...........no dramatisation, no judging and no heroine convicting, no self-sympathy, no symbolic-love gestures - it is a pretty bland script.......its just a slice of jessy-karthik life taken as it is........no wonder some people didnt like it..........its devoid of any cinematic moments (maybe the climax was one)........even love at first sight is a very very relevant phenomenon with chennai guys - trust me - its not at all cinematic

  That is where GVM has his stamp portraying the conflicting emotions which tears down Jessie and makes her forego her love. WRT the kiss scene, the justification is given when Jessie tells that She fell in love with Karthik at first sight and could identify the spark in his eyes when he saw her. So, we can judge that she was anticipating his move. Regarding the love-hate thingy till the end, I have undergone the same experience (Kenjinaa Minjal and Minjinaa Kenjal). So, it not something which don't happen. It had happened to me for close to 5 years with one of my Ex. Also, when you have your career at stake it would take more priority than ur love (I am not saying that its not important) at that point. I have again faced situation when I was forced to skip interviews / client calls during 2 or 3 in the afternoon (Office Hours) to meet the gal. IMHO, nothing was exaggerated / illogical here. That is how female brains work and that is how their emotions are. Sometimes the moment is more important for them than the person and depth of love. They won't hesitate to move-on if they think that their calls / love is not reciprocated in the moment when they feel that love is at greatest intensity. Jessie had thought that since Karthik did not respond to her calls when she was in great despair, that is the end of the relationship. I have seen many gals do the same.

  Here the point is jessica was not all interested in love due to her family situations. She was extremely careful even for talking itself. Other than good looks and some old flattering dialogues there were no convincing scenes were developed for justifying those things.. That is what i wanted to say.. there is nothing like it wont happen.. within 2 days after trying to behave like friends,when simbu kisses she was extremely eager to take it. It is not that it wont happen.. For that character, which as shown in the beginning, the scenes were not convincing enough.
  
  The same goes with the ending. It happens, i agree.. the scenes shown behind were not convincing. There are things i can assume.. But not everyone.. most of the things i was talking was from a general audience perspective.

Appuram all of a sudden everything ends Not only Karthik, even several viewers could not get what was wrong That is where GVM has his stamp portraying the conflicting emotions which tears down Jessie and makes her forego her love. WRT the kiss scene, the justification is given when Jessie tells that She fell in love with Karthik at first sight and could identify the spark in his eyes when he saw her. So, we can judge that she was anticipating his move. Regarding the love-hate thingy till the end, I have undergone the same experience (Kenjinaa Minjal and Minjinaa Kenjal). So, it not something which don't happen. It had happened to me for close to 5 years with one of my Ex. Also, when you have your career at stake it would take more priority than ur love (I am not saying that its not important) at that point. I have again faced situation when I was forced to skip interviews / client calls during 2 or 3 in the afternoon (Office Hours) to meet the gal. IMHO, nothing was exaggerated / illogical here. That is how female brains work and that is how their emotions are. Sometimes the moment is more important for them than the person and depth of love. They won't hesitate to move-on if they think that their calls / love is not reciprocated in the moment when they feel that love is at greatest intensity. Jessie had thought that since Karthik did not respond to her calls when she was in great despair, that is the end of the relationship. I have seen many gals do the same.

  Actually the character of Jessie is what really made the film for me and took an ordinary love story to an entirely different level. Gautham has always nudged the envelope when it comes to writing women (except Minnale, which I hate) — and this capricious, flighty girl who just can’t make up her mind is one of his best creations. I had problems with Trisha, but not with Jessie.

  
  
  

  brangan wrote:

  Another thing I really loved was that it was a young love story without audience-pandering “cuteness” — no one says “odipolaalama” and such. It’s an extraordinarily “grown up” film, as in you can sense a similar romance being made between a silver-haired widower who’s frustrated by the indecisiveness of the elderly single woman next door, who’s torn between attending to “her” feelings and also afraid about “what will society say.” To see this dimension in a young-love story was effing brilliant.

  Saw the film yesterday.
  
  My thoughts:
  
  The story is simple but effective and the acting is top notch. Best performance by Simbhu in..err..for ever! Trisha's done an equally appreciable job. I didn't know she could act too! Plus she was easy on the eyes in those sarees.
  
  ARRs songs were utilised exceptionally well. None of the songs felt unwanted or out of place. I particularly liked the picturisation of Omana Penne. I think it was the story running alongside the nadheswaram bits that did it for me. The nadheswararam was the PERFECT instrument there. I got goosebumps!
  
  *Spoiler* Another point in the movie where the song heightens the emotions was when Karthik sees Jessie in America and Aromale's Swasthi Swasthi Su Muhurtham chant comes on. I think there was some additional guitar sounds too. Just great!
  *End of spoiler*
  
  There was only one BGM that kind of annoyed me. "Jessie's driving me crazy!!!" It made me cringe in my seat! Apart from stating the obvious, I really don't see the point of putting lyrics to that BGM. The rock sounds would've worked really well in those particular scenes without it.
  
  The Hosanna BGMs reminded me a lot of Latika's theme. Very similar sounds but ofcourse they work equally well here!
  
  *Spoiler* Nice twist at the end too. Was it necessary? I don't know. I would've been just as happy if they finished it on a high at "Anbil avan" especially after the stand-out scene between Jessie and Karthik on the bench. Stellar performances by both Simbhu & Trisha. *End of spoiler*
  
  Gautham's best film for me.

  Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya: Poetry
  
  Gautham Menon can summon a particular variety of forcefulness in his narration. He almost seems to have the ability to call upon it at will. It is hard to determine the method or formula he uses that allows him to repeatedly and successfully connect the audience with the character's thought process. Is it the detail in the story? Is it the characterization? Is it voice-over that allows you a peep into the character's mind? The way he hints at a thought and then goes on to reinforce it and solidify it continually impressed me. Gautham seems to be a person who has seen quite a bit of life. And his experiences come out either as interesting stories, incisive dialogs (and the dialogs are fantastic in the movie) and quite simply wonderful moments. Which is why I think his movies are so powerful. And this movie was packed with so much power that I was swept off my feet and pulled into the vortex of his characters. It has been a long time since I loved a movie so much. The movie hits you the way love hits Silambarasan in this story.
  
  Silambarasan has done a fantastic job. This is my second Silambarasan movie and I did not know the man could act so well. He plays a character that shows nervousness, hesitation, and instinctiveness in many wonderful ways. He mouths dialogs that are beautifully written and delivers them in a very convincing way. Agreed that Gautham had a big role to play here by etching out a splendid character. That apart, this is a rare good acting performance in Thamizh cinema. Many great actors would have been proud to have played 'Karthik' as well as Simbu has done it. In the first 30-45 minutes of the movie, you are into his head. You feel what he feels. Like a Vulcan mind blend. Gautham's awesomeness is not just the ability to keep it real but to fuse it with acceptable cinematic moments without seeming artificial. He has this knack of using words that trigger a specific emotion or a thought process that makes our mind feel like its racing through a range of emotions. The interval scene which ends with Trisha silhouette leaves us on an incredible high. Part of it is because of the words Silambarasan uses to seed the emotion in our mind - "what a woman saar ival".
  
  The movie has all the elements of style that sets it a class apart from the run of the mill stuff. The songs, the picturization, choice of locations, Trisha's looks and expressions, her saree selection, her understated expressions, Simbu's shirt choices (I loved the array of checked shirts on display). And the movie is less crowded. Barring a few church scenes most frames had barely 2 to 3 people in them. Every scene is understated, underplayed and emotions are kept on a rigorous check. The movie says less but it makes you feel so much. There is a moment where Trisha asks Simbu in the second half: "It is such a happy moment to run into each other, no?". And for a moment you think Silambarasan is going to reply. His lips seems to be ready to move. But he looks down and then looks up. Does not say a word. But communicates so much. In the first half, all his nervous twitching and pacing down the gate of his house speaks volumes without saying a word.
  
  This movie was poetry. A rare kind of poetry. Typically never found in movies. When 'Kathalukku Mariyadhai' was released, I hated it. I was unable to say why that movie sucked and what could have made it better. A contrast that I found in this movie that made a difference was the shades of gray in Trisha's commitment to the relationship. Both men and women enter a relationships with a significant amount of doubt and double-mindedness. Trisha plays a character who never settles into a steady state. The vicissitudes of her thought process and the fickleness of her resolve cause a degree of uncertainity that adds a very interesting dimension to the movie and probably makes it more in touch with reality. It not only keeps us on our toes but also gives Simbu a chance to react to situations where the 'near' in near-certain asumptions assumes magnified importance and allows for a quick disintergration of the said assumption.
  
  Gautham seems to have found a way to make boy-meets-girl love stories less cliched. A genre that has become jaded because of movies like 'Kaadhalukku Mariyadhai'. He says a similar (certainly not the same) story in a the most mature way imaginable. Movies are meant to be shown this way and stories are meant to be told with this kind of passion and force. I loved the second half as much I loved the first half. The way the story ended made me appreciate the movie even more. It would not have worked with any other ending. I agree with Jessie. I love the pain. Yes! Loved this pain so much.

  Vinnaithaandi..
  February 26, 2010 by Sreekrishnan
  
  Am set to watch Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya for the second time, not because i had to – but i’d love to. Obviously, that speaks volumes of the movie. Much before we start appreciating it, its not a movie devoid of complains, but they are merely problems with how you enjoy a movie. Dragging at times or lengthy is a common term, but make no mistakes the movie just takes time to show the Drama and the build up of the situation, So again the perspective is not whether you enjoyed the drama – but how the movie justifies the build up of that scene. Vinnaithandi varuvaaya justifies the drama. It is not forced to drag or missed to be quick. A movie that is devoid of a great story line, but a strong emotion line. The common thread as the title suggests is Silambarasan hoping to marry a girl across the religious lines. Just hoping that she would cross the Line for him.
  
  Gautam Menon yet again goes for a romantic track, that gives an instance of what his life was [if this was a leaf out of his story]. What he has really succeeded is capturing the emotions of a romance of a Guy so spontaneous and a Girl so confused. The chemistry works great between Simbhu and Trisha. The movie has spontaneous and real dialogues with appropriate subtlety in emoting. Nothing is blown out of proportion nor is it underdone. Everything takes its own time and settles in you which is the highlight. Objectively looking, the movie is a breather of Love story where you have nothing different, but just enough to convince you to not call it bad.
  
  The Story revolves around a simple event of love at first sight, chasing the girl – almost losing her just to win her back and better “reality” sense prevails. Screenplay is linear with simple twists everywhere. The second half seems to be created in the editing table with events changing quickly, but makes no mess.
  
  Silambarasan shows maturity in his acting and is certainly an image makeover for him. Trisha is all gorgeous with the cotton sarees and a Meg Ryan style awkward walk. I just wished she dubbed for it as i felt a Sameera’s face because of Chinmayi’s voice – but settles down well quickly. Other characters build up well to support the screenplay. Special Mention to that D.o.P. friend who invokes the much needed comedy folded in the screenplay.The Camera seems neat, with no gimmicks or artificial lighting – which itself sets a good tone.
  
  Rahman seems to have had a special effort for this, as usually he underplays the music and shows up at certain important places, but here he is right there through out. Watch out for some pleasant surprises in the background as he brings his own classics and some Vivaldi’s influence to support the romance. A bit disappointing that the couple of songs had to be plugged picturization rather than felt on.
  
  I just hope, Gautam makes this as his last story line on Mallu Christian – Jothika Style Speaking heroine with a Mechanical Engineer Guy who thinks different as we now know it like a Shahrukh movie story line. He has certainly matured in his story framing tactics from Varanam Aayriam which had great scenes but failed to collect together to Good movie with no specific great scenes but good ones. The consistency in the flow is important and it works ! He even went on to tease himself in this movie.
  
  Watch the movie for it simpleness and don’t complain. You haven’t “felt” anything good in thamizh for sometime now. You needn’t cross the Skies to convince yourselves.

  Now that the mani comparison came up, I can't help observing that I never could warm up much to alai paayuthae. Comparisons are moot, since vtv is so very personal, however "yung romaans" genre-nu consider paNNi compare paNNA, I'd prefer VTV. This, despite nimbu and tirisa.

  Maddy I got what you wanted to say. Kedaicha gap-ai viduvaanEnnu pOtta comment adhu.
  Actually, love at first sight is usually a retrospective retro-fitting concept. Guy sees girl, gets swept off, never sees her again, forgets her;repeat-rinse 10 times; the 11th one crosses path more often, frenz, try et al and whether it ends up in uniting o not, tagged as true love, first love, love at first sight etc. Instead of the 11th, andha first poNNE marubadiyum meet paNNi irundha, that might have been love at first sight too. For the movie gautam made, what I feel is that part is irrelevant - it is just a sop for the high-school, college audience that gvm wants his money back from - even as a gradually developed love, this would work. Infact, as baradwaj observed(roshan vandhu marubadiyum copy adikkarennuvango, but I am just acknowledging another person on same wavelength ), it works if you transplant the background, milieu, age group et al. For instance, how about this maddy? Same treatment in a it-office environment, where the love is not at first sight but a little more realised? Sounds a bell(no personal comment intended )

  **** MILD SPOILER*****
  Actually, I dont think there can be a spoiler as the film is not really about what happens to Karthik's love. nevertheless, the film can be approached from that angle as well, and for some, that might be the very point of watching the film hence....

  Sathya, what I meant was that the movie would equally have worked as a "not love at first sight" whatever be the environment. It is just a choice that GVM made.
  
  I am also a little skeptical of LAFS -
  LAFS is itself a retrospective concept. Any relationship that progresses can eventually be retrofitted into LAFS retrospectively.
  I mean, you get attracted or impressed by many girls at first sight(as you observed, at various stages of your life)- when one of these progresses, it is easy to categorise it as LAFS, when in truth, it is probably no different from the others who had impact on you but never got a chance to progress.
  P.S: Only applies to men-A?
  
  Also, this isnt probably the movie a 22 year old Gautam Menon would have made - the remarkable choices he makes in terms of steering away from melodrama, or even normal romantic drama, I believe, have been the result of his life experiences post the LAFS period.
  Even the climax, poetic for some, is just matter of fact - I didnt have a lump in the throat or whatever(this was one stretch where Rahman's BGM worked for me). There is already a hint that Karthik is ready to move on when he says to Samantha that he is not ready yet to move on I need some more time . It happens. And people are none the worse for it - not just from a practical perspective but from an emotional perspective as well; when he says that he can never be crazy about Samantha the way he was about Jessy, there is a part realisation that this is how it was meant to end; if the relationship had continued, the same sentence could read " I can never be as crazy about Jessy( as of now) as I was with Jessy(2 years ago)."
  
  That bit about not going through that luv pheeling again is not about the girl, but about your growth in life. Which is why the choice GVM made about Simbu switching his mobile off at a crucial time when Jessy is trying to reach him(he doesn't know it ofcourse) was very well done - for most part, he is attending the calls, and responding to messages instantaneously, and then there's the director who clearly indicates that he is not happy with this.

  VTV without rahman would still have been a good movie but im doubtful abt second half without rahman..........manippaaya, vinnaithandi varuvaya songs and the heavy string sections illama oru second half - hmmm.......maybe u never know ......

  
  
  Maddy, VTV without Rahman would have been a lesser movie, definitely. I cant imagine it with Harris Jayaraj, and definitely not anyone else.
  But I meant that if you take out Rahman, it can still be a good movie whereas if you take out IR, Geethanjali is plain insufferable. This isnt a valid comparison at all - as much as my comparison of Alai P and this was invalid - but we cant resist comparing, can we? (especially when nagarjuna comes in and talks so eloquently doing the same comparison!)
  
  The BGM worked for me better in the second half - infact, it was the mannippAyA song that brought out what Tirisa couldnt up to that point - Jessy's character, her feelings and her insecurities. And the guitar strains(?) leading up to the title song also were brilliant.
  My comment on BGM was more about my understanding of Rahman's BGM philosophy and my discomfort with it - I'll PM you as I dont think it is developed enough to post it here.

Sounds a bell(no personal comment intended ) (To be contd) Plum, no matter how old men grow physically, they never grow up on certain things - Like love at First Sight So, whether the person is in 5th Std or Class 12 or UG / PG / Professional environment , VP they will continue to fall in love at first sight (Irrespective of whether they are married or not). Exceptions will be there but they are not majority. Sathya, what I meant was that the movie would equally have worked as a "not love at first sight" whatever be the environment. It is just a choice that GVM made. I am also a little skeptical of LAFS - LAFS is itself a retrospective concept. Any relationship that progresses can eventually be retrofitted into LAFS retrospectively. I mean, you get attracted or impressed by many girls at first sight(as you observed, at various stages of your life)- when one of these progresses, it is easy to categorise it as LAFS, when in truth, it is probably no different from the others who had impact on you but never got a chance to progress. P.S: Only applies to men-A? Also, this isnt probably the movie a 22 year old Gautam Menon would have made - the remarkable choices he makes in terms of steering away from melodrama, or even normal romantic drama, I believe, have been the result of his life experiences post the LAFS period. Even the climax, poetic for some, is just matter of fact - I didnt have a lump in the throat or whatever(this was one stretch where Rahman's BGM worked for me). There is already a hint that Karthik is ready to move on when he says to Samantha that he is not ready yet to move on I need some more time . It happens. And people are none the worse for it - not just from a practical perspective but from an emotional perspective as well; when he says that he can never be crazy about Samantha the way he was about Jessy, there is a part realisation that this is how it was meant to end; if the relationship had continued, the same sentence could read " I can never be as crazy about Jessy( as of now) as I was with Jessy(2 years ago)." That bit about not going through that luv pheeling again is not about the girl, but about your growth in life. Which is why the choice GVM made about Simbu switching his mobile off at a crucial time when Jessy is trying to reach him(he doesn't know it ofcourse) was very well done - for most part, he is attending the calls, and responding to messages instantaneously, and then there's the director who clearly indicates that he is not happy with this. Still, he doesnt switch off. Eventually, he makes a choice to switch it off - because a part of him has already woken him up to where his priorities lie at this point of his life. It is a small choice, and a small moment - he continues to pursue Jessy - but it is indicative.

  Maddy, remember the discussion earlier when that still with Infosys id card of Trisha was released. I remember vaguely that you were speculating if Gautam Menon would show an authentic IT environment, and the love story be built around it?
  (Comparisons to YNM were made, inescapably, and we all had a hearty laugh at the expense of Selvaraghavan, Dhanush, Nayanthara and Victory Venkatesh )
  
  The movie I would have liked to see(as opposed to the one GVM wanted to make) would definitely have been on those lines.

  There is no twist. Presume people thought that the film was over when the saw the slide "A film by Karthik" and when they heard otherwise after the actual ending, mentioned that there is a twist. Gud climax - Practical and logical. Also, in that park scene where Jessie (In the movie "Jessie") 3sha mentions that she is not yet married, then Simbhu-3Sha duet in Anbil Avan song etc portrayed the image that they get married, which is not the case. There is a chance that viewers might have thought that this was the ending and when they stayed back and saw Jessie moving on with her husband from the theatre and Karthik being left behind, that is where the mention about twist comes in, which is actually not a twist (Naan ezhudhinadhu enakkaachum puriyumaa? )

  Hit or not hit shouldnt matter. To me, that Gautam could make an intensely personal film is reward enough.
  In Bollywood, we get to see the Dev Ds and Kamineys getting the critical and Box office success and wonder why we cant do that and start blaming the usual suspects. However, to me, the success of Bollywood lies in that it can afford to make a 100 flops like Mithya, Mixed Doubles (which are absolutely brilliant) and the several in-between efforts, many of them self-indulgent, for every Kaminey.
  
  It doesnt matter if VTV isnt a great film. If it turns out to be a niche film, we need more of these - I'd like to see atleast a release of such movies - niche films, even if it turns out to be a niche that isnt my cup of tea. Eventually, we'll find our Dev D or Maqbool. Yeah, I am allowed to dream
  In my mind, Rahman is yet to make a difference to Tamil movies in the way IR did or even in the way that Rahman himself did in Hindi - if his name can sell such movies, and his music can enhnace such movies, that would be his lasting legacy to tamil filmdom than all the superhit audios in his illustrious tamil film career put together.

  What I meant is Rahman should lend his name and quality to some of the newer directors' efforts rather than sticking to Rajni-Mani-Shankar. he did try out new guys but they turned out to be Sakkarakattis and SOKs. Then again, the producers/actors associated were big enough.
  GVM himself is a big name now but this movie needed Rahman more than HJ, and I am glad Rahman lent himself to it. Also, I dont think GVM is big enough to claim Rahman for all his movies as a Shankar-Mani-Rajni would.
  
  A few smaller films from Rahman - even self-indulgent ones from newer directors - would be something I'd gladly swallow. If that helps those movies succeed, all the more pleasure.

  Anjali, I agree. Far from being clueless, Mani knew exactly what he was doing - milking every possible moment(remember Prabhu speaking out at the General body meeting of the residents' association) to the maximum. Even the kids WERE NOT annoying to me when I watched it first as an adolescent. And those kids were far removed from my universe, too, just to clarify.

  The problem, Maddy, is that I dont consider Shankar great cinema. And Rahman himself wasnt as big a name during Gentleman. What I meant was more along the lines of Azhagi, Sethu etc( where IR is the only selling name).
  I also observed that Rahman has done this in Hindi - I precisely meant the Khalid Mohammed and Shyam Benegals movies that he patronised, along with MF Hussain's. Many of these were flawed efforts but he did the right thing by patronising them. Shaad Ali is a good example - Rahman made Saathiya saleable; there was nothing else, absolutely, I believe to get it a release. I dont consider the Aamir Khan produced movies, as Aamir is big enough to market them without Rahman but the rest, yes, Rahman was a major selling point.
  
  This is not necessarily about being associated with Great cinema as about encouraging above-average efforts from new guys.

  No, that was not the point of comparison. There is enough time for Rahman to puratti pottufy tamil cinema with deserving new directors - he can help produce the tierwaalas, kashyaps and baradwajs in Tamil-nu solrEn. And he should do it. As I said, I only have no idea how he can go about this.

  I think Gautham's victory primarily lies in the way he has captured the various moments of the love story. In all its awkward glory. The rest is all details. There is expository dialogue. The song sequences didn't do much to me. Gautham isn't particularly successful in structuring the film as a musical either. Ultimately, it's the quieter, slice-of-life moments that make the film what it is.

  The scene in VA where he asks his wife to keep telling the kid about his grandfather - who fears that because he is not able to tell any stories his grandchild will not remember him - is the single best "moment" in the film. And even that scene working hinged a lot on Surya.

  I never got the feeling that the movie aspires to be a musical. I definitely hated the vellaikAra dancers around Simbu in most songs. (not that one liked Simbu, adhu vEra vishayam!).
  
  I wouldnt call it a regular slice-of-life either. As in, this doesnt happen to every other guy. It takes a Karthik to try to woo Jessy. Yet, it is quite believable what Karthik does to try and woo her.
  ( Think of this - there is NEVER anyone in the street when Simbu-Tirisa are having those intense conversations near the gate; Simbu making a ruckus in the night, but absolutely no signs of the neighbourhood being anything other than zombies. Trisha's extended family in Allepey is curiously devoid of Children of any age or description. (for which I am thankful, though, that no precocious child was tasked with delivering Karthik's roses to Jessy!) And how did they manage to get a whole Coupe for themselves in that train - especially since Simbu would have booked his ticket in the last moment? )
  
  I think it is a conscious choice to do away with those fringes, and focus on the lead pair alone - and structure the movie as between the two minds(note, not the hearts!) and if you dont find people around, it is not because they wouldnt have been around but because we dont want to see them at that point.

  anyway, thats a moot point. I correct myself - Rahman did patronise andhi mandhaarai, but that didnt do anyone any good. Must have scared him away from "good cinema" forever
  
  

• From: equanimus on Tue Mar 2 4:56:33 2010.

  I strongly agree with Baradwaj Rangan's note that this is a young love story without audience-pandering “cuteness.” It's not so much about being a “grown up” film as being a no-frills intense* love story. Consider the post-interval scenes in which the lovers continue to meet here and there, when everyone including their parents knows about their brief affair. In a regular run-of-the-mill film, there's invariably an artificial boundary drawn between the two, or their parents have a change of heart. One of this would happen with certainty. Here, nothing changes, but there are things that need to be sorted out. And what if they get caught? This is exactly what I refer to as slice-of-life moments that you've seldom seen on screen.
  
  * Yeah, yeah, I know this is the most used adjective (a cliché already!) to describe the film. But this is the word that came to my mind even when I was watching the film.

  I guess you didnt understand - there is not a review or opinion from others you will fully agree upon. There are observations and points you might agree with from two diametrically opposite reviews though. This is quite obvious, but if it needs restating, here's it!
  
  Also, the agreement with Thirumaran was on the audience response being impatient - where does it contradict with the agreement on Maddy's review? Anyway, I said Maddy's review is very close to what the movie is. That doesnt constitute absolute agreement.

  I'm not sure if not finding enough people around in the frame is reason enough to say the proceedings are out of the ordinary! What's important is the moments between the lead pair are more or less stripped off phony ideals and general pretentiousness. There's a lot of plain-talking in the film that has no precedent in Tamil cinema as far as I remember, but is so commonplace in real life. Isn't that reason enough to call it "slice-of-life?"

  "Does it happen to every other guy?" is hardly the question to see if something is slice-of-life. It's about how it happens when it happens. Anyway, this is getting too theoretical.

  Movie Review: Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa Gautaman Bhaskaran, Hindustan Times New Delhi, February 27, 2010 First Published: 03:00 IST(28/2/2010) Gautaman Bhaskaran Film: Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa Cast: Silambarasan, Trisha Krishna and Ganesh Direction: Gautham Vasudev Menon Rating: ** The single most depressing bane of Indian cinema is its inability to pursue excellence, and this cuts across language and region. Scripts are shoddily produced. Often, situations are lifted and used with modifications. Gautham Vasudev Menon's Tamil work, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, is guilty of these. Ideas from Dustin Hoffman-starrer The Graduate, Mani Ratnam Alaipaayuthe and some other screen romances find echo in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. Obviously, the feel seems so cliched. What is even more unfortunate is the movie's reaffirmation of prejudices: the man has got to be older than the girl if they are to marry, they must belong to the same religion and family verdict is supreme however hard and illogical it may be. Menon, who wrote the script, may have been influenced by pockets of such bigotry, but modern India, especially its young working class generation, is not really bonded to these kinds of narrow views. Menon's love story begins with a Hindu boy chasing a seemingly reluctant Christian girl, whose trepidation primarily arises from the fact they belong to different faiths, and her father's no-no to their union. Despite the deep feeling she begins to nurse for him, she refuses to cross societal barricades. Neither A.R. Rahman's music nor the performances contribute significantly to the movie . Lyrics are no longer written by poets as they once were, and the tendency to allow instruments to dominate voice, drowning it in the process, turns melody into noise. Add to this, the bizarre song picturisations with the characters flitting from one exotic location to another or emerging out of groups of sheer alien looking men and women. Sometimes, they are pale skinned, sometimes black! I fail to understand how these help carry forward the narrative; rather they cut the flow and roughen the motion and movement. Finally, Silambarasan as Karthik wooing Jessie (Trisha Krishnan) appears in a new form, the romantic hero. But he is awfully wooden and seems terribly ill at ease, failing to evoke the passionate chemistry with Jessie that the movie sets out to capture in the first place. Krishnan is average, and does sparkle a few times, but Ganesh (as cameraman Ganesh) is delightful as the friend of the lovers, reflecting the pain and pathos of Karthik and Jessie. Some peppy one-liners cheer us up, but these alone cannot engage us through the entire run. For all the hype a Gautham Vasudev Menon's work generates, his latest effort fails to cross the skies.

  Goutham thanks media
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 02, 2010]
  
  
  As ‘Vinnathandi Varuvaya’ is running to packed houses, all the people associate with the film are greatly relieved now. The film which released on February 26 is hailed a trend setter and will redefine the rules of the game of love. Happy director Goutham Menon today thanked the media for its honesty in taking his product to the people. Here it is.
  
  Dear friends from the media,
  
  It gives me immense pleasure to take a moment to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. The extraordinary support let to me by you, including the amazing and honest reviews of my direction, and of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ as a whole. It warms my heart to even acknowledge the generous accolades you have given me at this point of my career. It has been only your praiseworthy and generous support that has kept my dreams alive and even today instills in me the confidence for my further endeavours. I am now further fuelled to better myself and my films, to keep improving, and I need your continual encouragement for the same. I would love to meet all of you in the near future, in person as a token of respect for being an immense part of my success.
  
  Yours truly
  
  Goutham Vasudev Menon

  வி.தாண்டி வருவாயா : தெலுங்கில் சூப்பர் ஹிட்!
  
  விண்ணைத் தாண்டி வருவாயா கடந்த வெள்ளிக்கிழமை தெலுங்கு மற்றும் தமிழில் வெளியிடப்பட்டது. தெலுங்கில் 'ஏ மாயா சேஸவே' என்ற தலைப்பில் வெளியான 'விண்ணைத் தாண்டி வருவாயா'வில் நாக சைதன்யாவும் சமந்தாவும் நடித்திருக்கின்றனர். மேலும் இவர்கள் இருவரும், விண்ணைத் தாண்டி வருவாயா படத்தின் கிளைமாக்ஸில் கெஸ்ட் ரோல் பண்ணியிருந்தனர், அதே போல் தெலுங்கிலும் சிம்பு - த்ரிஷா சிறப்பு காட்சியில் தோன்றுவார்கள்.
  
  தெலுங்கில் பாஸிடிவான கிளைமாக்ஸை வைத்திருக்கிறார் கவுதம் மேனன். 'இதனையடுத்த தெலுங்கில் படம் பெரிய வெற்றி பெற்றுள்ளது. சிம்பு நடித்த படங்களில் இதுவரை எந்தப் படத்துக்கும் கிடைக்காத வரவேற்பு இந்தப் படத்துக்கு கிடைத்துள்ளது' என்கிறார் தயாரிப்பாளர் ஒருவர் தெரிவித்தார்.

  pellows have made an arrangement to show the pilim on weekdays and a meeting came in between. However close quarters of friends from USA have been screaming on my phone to avoid going to the film and I was like 'whoa what was that'. Anyways with a universal comment of second half being dragging, with only two dialogues 'Sorry Jesse', 'Sorry karthik' and a kid who is gonna throw tantrums if hosanna song is over, methinks this one has to be viewed leisurely on a DVD or netflix or in worst case Anban mode.

  AP and love story Adhula mukkaalvaasi look so artficial. And till date MR's love tracks had not appealed me much. Most of his heorines in love sequences behave like nut cases. Except Shobana in Thalapathy and Simran in Kannathil muthamittaal - none of his female characters had impressed me much (Revathi was tolerable in Mouna Raagam. ) even though he tries to give 'some' weightage to the female leads.

  The element of 'cuteness' (as described by B Rangan) is there which fascinates many but they are quite unrealistic. Even in Mouna Raagam - Karthik turns up one night - naaLaikku register marriage'nu sonnathum without any second thought Revathy just agreeing to it is absolutely cinematic. But other aspects of MR's film making techniques certainly help the audience forget such flaws.

  My view is totally opposite. It's GVM's way writing of female characters that makes me like his movies more. In VA - he had 3 lead women characters and he crafted and executed them very well. Simran's role in VA is one of the best I've seen.

  Even though Manirathnam love parts looked artificial at times, You should ignore other great well written love stories or in parts, such as Mudhal Mariyadhai, Moondram Pirai and varumaiyin niram sigappu.

  aadipperukku, thaamarai nenjam appdinnu aarambichaa nalla irukkum well written love themes and strong female charattars paththi.
  Medieval periodla KB's female characters were strong and Devraj-Mohan and subsequently Barathiraaja brought a lot of earthliness and believability. Balu mahendra is the king when it comes to sketching a female in all her moods(despondent, love lorn, avenging and on the borderline).
  Mahendran and his women characters paththi oru nooru pakkam naan mattume ezudhalaam - kurippaa Metti - Pride and Prejudice thaan - aanal indha depth and indha connect - varumaa? Rajeev menon's cliched interpretation that was very strongly supported by Rahman in Kandu Kandu is a distant 2nd.
  V.Sekhar despite his stagey execution puts in packed character study of women and their issues. However his romance side is weak.
  
  Offlate Sasi (of Dishyum and Poo) holds my interest a lot when it comes to writing females the middle way.
  Of the avant garde lot, Balaji Sakthivel and Vasantha balan have made some interesting strides.
  
  Bala - who has been always criticized for not having written good roles for women wrote two interesting ladies in Pithamagan representing two extremes - Gomathi and Manju. Gomathi is my fave and that writing and that filming - Gowthamaro Budhdharo - idhu varaikkum kondu vandhadhillai. verumna ingilipeesh novelsai padichuttu ezhudhappadaadhunnu avarukku sollikaren. en parama edhiriyaana saaru nivedita novelayaavadhu padichuttu oru karuththu uruvaakkam pannikanam appdingaradhu en karuththu.
  Idhellaathukkum nadula Kamal hassan also has contributed to some wonderful women and their love - be it Anna lakshmi ,Thirupurasundhari or yamuna(mahanadi) - his portrayals also have a lot of depth and sensibility in them.
  
  As far as Goutham is concerned - he goes for a matured approach, but sometimes one has to get as close to the character as Bharathiraaja ventured into the psyche of a mayilu to come out with a breathtaking portrait. In minnnale he had a chance - missed it and in kakka kaakka he had a chance he missed it and he came close to it in Vaaranam aayiram - but that was a guy's love story and therefore couldnt complete it. He has to become more independent and able to drive a project all by himself without a male hero being the central thrust of the movie - then I guess he too can paint a poignant portrait of women in love - from the other side. In this project that side is severely handicapped from the day he cast thrisha - who cannot act with a knife on the throat or a gun with real bullets to her temple. I only wish haasar fanns all the best when I hear that she is gonna be in the next movie - my unsolicited advice to haasar - modhal scenlaye konnudunga - illainna full time coma patientaa padam muzhukka oru role kudunga.

  Thamizh,
  Surprised to see a MR fan inside you!
  
  KK/VV/VA ellam different genre. So, IMO, it doesn't make sense to compare AP with those. Minnale vs AP would be a fair comparison. Though AP is a much superior product (kOvAlty wise), I prefer Minnale for "stress busting" entertainment value. Vivek was at his best in Minnale not to mention Madhavan's one of career best performances till date. The time Abbas promptly arrives for a cinematic climax is when you got to turn off your DVD!

  I beg to differ, MC
  
  Well, I dont understand how minnale can be better than AP. The rivalry between Madhavan and Abbas is NOT natural and it is mere cinematic. It never happens in real life ever among normal human beings.
  
  AP scores because it reveals what happens between couple after marriage (after they come back to"normal"). Those misunderstandings and "make up" are happening in real life or not?

  On gautham's ladies being liked by ladies...
  In general, women like people who place them on a pedestal. Gautam, whom Surya once described as "avarukku love-la nalla experience irukkunnu nenaikkarEn", understands this psyche very well. He must have used this psyche often in real life to "correct", succesfully employs the same technique in his movies to woo ladies to his portrayal in his movies.
  Imo, gautam's ladies, with the exception of vtv, are the idealised version of a woman's self-appraisal and possible fantasy of how their men should treat them. VTV with Simbu walks mildy into Selvaraghavan territory. Wifey was very uncomfy with those parts(front, back etc) as opposed to KK, VV etc.
  
  Think Gautam vs Selva - the situations that Selva puts his ladies through. No prizes for guessing whom ladies will prefer

  That scene was beautiful That's how MR scores in most of his movies. His characters - specially women characters in-depth'a irukkaathu (Roja itself is an examplte. It's the title character but Madhu Bala hardly sticks on our mind). But intha maathiri koncham scenes vechu flaws'a cover up paNNiduvaar. And he is brilliant in effectively handling the technical aspects. And I would say he is unmatchable when it comes to that.

  the different shades/sketches that mani gives to a mileu, character, compressed story telling that is entirely visual, spanking dialogues, great technical acumen is somehow taken for granted ........and yea, as P_R, Bala, equa keep telling - extracting performances too - i dont think there is a better director than mani in TF.......so, its disappointing to see people say some of GVM's movies are >> mani's movies....

  Ya, ya that's my name and I have not had a criminal record till now and hope it stays that way.
  
  Basically what you are trying to tell is that it's cinematic that a girl coming from a dignified,middle class family can agree to have a register marriage on the spur of the moment to a charming but good-for-nothing- as- per- soceity- boy.
  
  I disagree.It may sound cliched but being in love can make people do very uncharacteristic things.Example is me and my wife-9 years on we can't believe that we took a stand which could/was looked at as very risky.
  
  Am sure now we would have just chickened out and split.

• From: Dhanya on Wed Mar 3 7:00:06 2010.

  Watched VTV after much contemplation. My opinion on the movie is simple. It's decent. It's surprisingly good for a GVM movie, considering I never much liked his romance plots before. The music is fabulous. The song portrayals were unimaginative though. And I don't see how it's 'A.R. Rahman's Musical'. The movie is anything but. The movie is not perfect or completely true to life, but hey just how many movies can be labeled such anyway. With what GVM seemed to have intended to portray, I guess he's done a pretty good job. Which is more than I can say about his previous films. The friend character was hilarious. Loved the most of the one-liners too. The dialogues were as close to life as they could be.
  
  As for the actors, both of them did a decent job. Much better than their previous ones I believe. Not that I’ve ever watched a Silambarasan movie before. I don’t intend to in the future as well. But I couldn’t help but feel Prasanna would have been a better choice for this role. Sure I have seen just 2 of his films, but that guy doesn’t annoy you and he’s more natural. But then am not complaining, much.
  
  *Spoilers Ahead*
  
  I kind of figured where the movie was heading when it shifts to New York. No surprises there. It didn’t leave a *lump in my throat* but I did have a rueful smile on my face when it all ended.
  But I do have few complaints about the unrealistic parts of the movie.
  
  First off, the runaway bride sequence. So we are made to believe that Jesse is this sweet I-adore-my-family-to-bits girl who goes and just about humiliates her entire family on her big day. C’mon now. She goes there and puts, both her family and the groom, to shame and the house is calm and quiet at night like a monastery? Seriously? I don’t think so, no.
  
  And while am at it, I might as well rant about my pet peeve. Okay, so if they want to portray a Catholic wedding, can’t they at least do it right? I mean, ‘Amazing Grace’ though a beautiful and all time occasion song is most often than not used in FUNERALS and not weddings!! And most definitely not as an opening song!! *Ends rant*
  
  I personally couldn’t believe the sequence in ‘Mannipaya’ song. So after a stopped wedding they are just merrily hanging out with each other? Given it’s clandestine and all that, but I seriously can’t believe the affected family could stomach letting the guy who is the apparent reason for their ruin stay downstairs in close vicinity to their daughter. Not happening! And Jesse, just where exactly is thou remorse? Sure, she says she feels guilty about the lies but that was anything but convincing at that point.
  
  Oh! And the brother character? Embarrassingly unimaginative.
  I found those parts oddly glaring in an otherwise sensitively handled film.
  
  Jesse’s characterization was brilliant. I could very much relate to the character. In fact, I’d say Jesse’s 90% me minus the drop-dead gorgeous part. In fact we have so many things in common, it’s a little unnerving. So there, I really didn’t find it odd when all efforts to contrary she was attracted Karthik. We really cannot help who we are attracted to or repulsed by. It’s whether we choose to act upon that attraction or not which makes the difference. Jesse wouldn’t have acted upon the attraction she felt for Karthik had he let her be. But when a girl is being pursued by the object of her desire, one tends to falls especially if the said girl isn’t quite convinced as to why she is resisting in the first place. She just states her parents wouldn’t approve of it. There’s no inkling to show she is convinced by their reasons. The “Avar romba nallavar. Indha vishayathula mattum yaen ippadi nu therila.” dialogue is evidence in itself.
  
  And the sms sequence and the following break up was as close to reality to, contrary to popular belief that the break up seems unbelievable. She’s just 23 year old behind her ‘I-am-a-mature-woman’ façade. She’s just another indecisive immature young person. I felt truly felt for Karthik when she says ‘You know what.

  Watched VTV after much contemplation. My opinion on the movie is simple. It's decent. It's surprisingly good for a GVM movie, considering I never much liked his romance plots before. The music is fabulous. The song portrayals were unimaginative though. And I don't see how it's 'A.R. Rahman's Musical'. The movie is anything but. The movie is not perfect or completely true to life, but hey just how many movies can be labeled such anyway. With what GVM seemed to have intended to portray, I guess he's done a pretty good job. Which is more than I can say about his previous films. The friend character was hilarious. Loved the most of the one-liners too. The dialogues were as close to life as they could be. As for the actors, both of them did a decent job. Much better than their previous ones I believe. Not that I’ve ever watched a Silambarasan movie before. I don’t intend to in the future as well. But I couldn’t help but feel Prasanna would have been a better choice for this role. Sure I have seen just 2 of his films, but that guy doesn’t annoy you and he’s more natural. But then am not complaining, much. *Spoilers Ahead* I kind of figured where the movie was heading when it shifts to New York. No surprises there. It didn’t leave a *lump in my throat* but I did have a rueful smile on my face when it all ended. But I do have few complaints about the unrealistic parts of the movie. First off, the runaway bride sequence. So we are made to believe that Jesse is this sweet I-adore-my-family-to-bits girl who goes and just about humiliates her entire family on her big day. C’mon now. She goes there and puts, both her family and the groom, to shame and the house is calm and quiet at night like a monastery? Seriously? I don’t think so, no. And while am at it, I might as well rant about my pet peeve. Okay, so if they want to portray a Catholic wedding, can’t they at least do it right? I mean, ‘Amazing Grace’ though a beautiful and all time occasion song is most often than not used in FUNERALS and not weddings!! And most definitely not as an opening song!! *Ends rant* I personally couldn’t believe the sequence in ‘Mannipaya’ song. So after a stopped wedding they are just merrily hanging out with each other? Given it’s clandestine and all that, but I seriously can’t believe the affected family could stomach letting the guy who is the apparent reason for their ruin stay downstairs in close vicinity to their daughter. Not happening! And Jesse, just where exactly is thou remorse? Sure, she says she feels guilty about the lies but that was anything but convincing at that point. Oh! And the brother character? Embarrassingly unimaginative. I found those parts oddly glaring in an otherwise sensitively handled film. Jesse’s characterization was brilliant. I could very much relate to the character. In fact, I’d say Jesse’s 90% me minus the drop-dead gorgeous part. In fact we have so many things in common, it’s a little unnerving. So there, I really didn’t find it odd when all efforts to contrary she was attracted Karthik. We really cannot help who we are attracted to or repulsed by. It’s whether we choose to act upon that attraction or not which makes the difference. Jesse wouldn’t have acted upon the attraction she felt for Karthik had he let her be. But when a girl is being pursued by the object of her desire, one tends to falls especially if the said girl isn’t quite convinced as to why she is resisting in the first place. She just states her parents wouldn’t approve of it. There’s no inkling to show she is convinced by their reasons. The “Avar romba nallavar. Indha vishayathula mattum yaen ippadi nu therila.” dialogue is evidence in itself. And the sms sequence and the following break up was as close to reality to, contrary to popular belief that the break up seems unbelievable. She’s just 23 year old behind her ‘I-am-a-mature-woman’ façade. She’s just another indecisive immature young person. I felt truly felt for Karthik when she says ‘You know what. I am sorry I called.’ or something to that extent. I could feel her breaking up with him just then. I could feel the ‘Hey I am the pursued’ attitude take a huge ego trip. It’s as real as it’s annoying. And I can’t believe that I am sitting and psycho analyzing a movie and it’s character! Sheesh! What I am trying to say is that the movie is good, albeit a little slow moving and not without flaws. It certainly deserves a chance at least for the lead characters.

  'VTV' mesmerizes KB Sir
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 03, 2010]
  
  
  The mesmerizing ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ is not only touching the hearts of young lovers of today but also celebrities who themselves taught you what love means through their films.
  
  The man who gave immortal love stories in films like ‘Ek Duje Ke Liye’ and Apoorva Ragangal is overwhelmed when he saw ‘VTV’ a few days ago.
  
  Very impressed by VTV 'Iyakkunar Sigaram' K Balachabder has written an open letter to Goutham Menon comparing him with the legends like SS Vasan, AV Meyappa Chettiar, Bharathiraja and Mani Ratnam as who believed in the intelligence of the audience.
  
  A legend himself, KB Sir, says in his letter Goutham is one of the rarest directors who blends style with substance.
  
  KB goes on to say that he believes after seeing VTV Tamil cinema has got a new icon and that is Goutham. Hesays "It (VTV) was a heart warming, heart wrenching film, stunningly visual, soaringly musical and compellingly straight forward and uncomplicatedly honest".
  
  After empathising with the honest and pure love in VTV, KB Sir says "This 80 years old man was pondering on the way back home after watching your film if he could tell his 75 years old wife "I LOVE YOU" to see whether she can still blush".
  
  What a compliment!
  
  Here we get you a copy of Balchander’s Letter below:

• From: Nerd on Wed Mar 3 10:56:17 2010.

  This has to be the most impressive GVM film for me just ahead of minnale. I liked the film with some reservations. The romance was refreshingly natural unlike his other films. Jesse was lovely, Karthik was OK, Ganesh was splendid. All other characters reek of extremely bad writing. The brother/sister, the daddys etc.
  
  SPOILERS ahead.
  
  Simbhu was amazingly inconsistent. He was good in a few scenes (Sorry kEtka vandhaa, lunch-kku kooppidraa saar, Jessy kalyaanam ninruchu saar, the long break-up scene), cringeworthy in many. Could not help but putting Prasanna in that role. He would have excelled. Trisha was surprisingly good, half of the credit should go to Chinmayi(?) and the costumes.
  
  Could not agree with GVM that it was a *meeesical*, Dev D paakka sollanum. Only Mannippayaa was needed in the film if you ask me (to make it a meesical that is). Liked all the songs in the film though. Strings in the scene in which Simbhu sees Trisha for the first time - Fantastic.
  
  Favorite scenes:
  * Scenes preceding mannippaaya at the bride's house.
  * The long break-up scene starting off with Simbhu asking Trish, "ennadhu idhu SMS" - so natural. But even in that scene there is this terrible line - unakku 50 vayasu aanaa kooda....., appO enakku 49 vayasu
  * America scenes,all the way to a film by Karthik. Extremely well executed.
  
  Not sure if this has been addressed before, GVM could have shown how important it is for Karthik to pursue his dreams of becoming a director. When the most important person in his life asks him to come take her away when he was in Goa, him telling her he can't come now was sorta...

  Nerd, I didnt see it that way. It is not like he has a clear prioritisation of one over the other - that sequence, he keeps the phone on, dithers, almost responds, he WANTS to respond, then there is KSR's pressure, and eventually he switches it off. Sometimes, you priorities reveal themselves in such small moments. I thought that stretch was very well done, probably the best in the movie
  (it is not as if "guys always prioritise the girl over everything else and the girl alone dithers. Even guys have their doubts, and dithering, and small moments of indecision, right?)

  He clearly mentions that the location of shooting is a remote place wherein even the basic facilities and amenities are very difficult to get.
  
  

• From: Plum on Wed Mar 3 12:52:07 2010.

  Nerd, if you feel the excution of karthik's dilemma was under-developed, I can see your point. Gautam hasn't invested enough on karthik in the movie. However, my point is that it doesn't need to be another burning ambition to deprioritise jessy. It could be just that the focus shifts to work, even if it may not have been the priority #1 before. And usually, it is a bunch of such small moments that change the priority gradually. Note that he is still in the middle of transformation rushing back to chennai after this happens.
  
  Problem is gautam didn't explore karthik's mind enough

  Kid, please go watch it. The film has its flaws but they are very few IMO. And I think almost 90% of all hubbers have liked the film. I just don't like people comparing this film with Mani saar's, calling it as a 'classic' etc.
  
  

• From: Dhanya on Wed Mar 3 14:03:01 2010.

  Nerd, Thank you. I am glad someone else agrees with me that Prasanna would have been a better Karthik as well.
  
  As for the Karthik's dilemma, I agree with Plum. Well, sort of. Sigh...there will spoilers in this post.
  
  Anyway, though as Plum said GVM didn't invest much on Karthik's character, there subtle mentions of his passion for his dream job. Like the conversation with Jessie in Kerala? When he equates him pursuing her to him pursuing his dream job. How he mentions he wants that job humiliations notwithstanding? He wanted both with the same passion but the movie was about his other passion, so there wasn't more scenes to establish this.
  
  The other thing about the situation, is what he says to Jessie in the phone call. When she says something on the lines of "Appo nee enna unkooda vara sonna. Ippo enna aachu?", he simply says "Appo nee vendam nu sonniye Jessie". The point is, even when it was only the beginning of a real relationship, he trusted and accepted her resistance to come with him. Now when they supposedly have an established relationship was it too much to expect her to trust him that he would come if he could? She had known this was the opportunity he has been waiting for, like ever, but she still drops the cheap 'me or job' card on him. Besides exactly what was happening at her home except they expecting her to get married. This is the woman who called off her wedding on the wedding day, whom we are talking about after all. And that was before she was with him. Is it too much of a stretch to expect her to hold a little while long till he could take a breather and come for her?

  GVM had provided some sorta explanation which is not that convincing after all.
  
  But
  
  Jessi is elder to Karthik, headstrong and does have a habit of walking away from conversations that she is not confortable. (May be that is the answer)

  his love for cinema is established in a rather swift way.............jessie obviously earns more than him and is much better settled than karthik - thats never pointed out in the movie other than a single line abt this from Trisha's dad.......but as i keep telling, GVM very cleverly or unintentionally steers clear of any shades to this movie other than the counterplay of love/obsession/confusion between karthik and jessie......and i think he comes a winner in that.......
  
  i cant believe movie is having bad response in theaters - both the times i watched - we had people responding very well - not even a single cat call

  Heard that even downsouth, the film is drawing good crowds and the response is equally good as the metros. Probably the 3rd instance for a GVM film after VV and KK.

  Watched it again yesterday. Liked it more this time, particularly the second half. Simbhu could have done better in few scenes (Eg: their first meeting in Ode cafe). I found Trisha quite good except for that park scene. Also liked the way GVM shows that Trisha is in love too even before she accepts. Very subtle
  
  

• From: ajaybaskar on Wed Mar 3 23:37:27 2010.

  there were few notable scenes that highlighted Trisha's performance. Her reaction when Karthik tries to touch her feet in the train. The break-up scene, and I did like the park scene. I didn't expect this from her. Kudos to GVM.

  அடிக்கடி ஆங்கிலத்தில் பேசுவது, ஒரே மாதிரி காட்சிகள் திரும்பத் திரும்ப வருவது போன்ற குறைகளை மீறி இந்தப்படம் நிஜவாழ்க்கையின் அசல் காதலை யதார்த்தமாகவும் தெளிவாகவும் பேசியிருக்கிறது. ரகுமானின் இசை ஸ்கிரிப்டின் ஒரு அங்கமாகவே ஒலித்திருக்கிறது.

  Actually it looks like this film has genuinely got the best critical reception for Gautham. The degree of general positive reaction aside, Gautham's letter to the media makes me think so.
  
  Or is the director sending a letter to the media a routine for every reasonably well-doing film (just that we've come to know of it this time) ?
  
  

• From: Bala (Karthik) on Thu Mar 4 3:38:06 2010.

  Watched the film with LM,Kalyasi and Softsword
  
  - Second Half dhaan padame. Liked most of it.
  - Simbhu was decent. Trisha wasn't all that bad.
  - BGM didn't work for me except some scenes in the second half. In fact, i thought the usic brought down the intensity in some scenes. "Vinnai thaandi varuvaya" was superb as the BGM. Liked Aaromale picturization also
  - Full house in PVR
  
  First half la vera imsai calls vandhuchu, missed some scenes and the whole Kannukkul song. The train scene was very well done. Other standout scenes were the episode in Ganesh's house and the break-up 'SMS' scene. However, as for the former, Kavudham spoilt the otherwise great scene by
  - having voice-overs for both Trisha and Simbhu at the end of the scene
  - avoiding physical intimacy between the two. In GM's world, its a compromise/nalla pullai scene for the fublic
  
  Apart from the lead characters, all others were either caricatures or convenience props (like Ganesh)

  Bala,
  I agree about the BGM. அதைத் தான் நான் சூசகமா "quiter moments" 'னு சொன்னேன். The film worked best for me when it is (shot) "life-like" without any effect (overpowering background score, slow-motion etc.). [Note: This comment is not meant to be taken in a universal sense at all. This film seemed to work best in that mode.]
  

  Bala (Karthik) wrote:

  And ironically, this comes right after what I think is the best scene in the film. The scene at the gate of Jessie's house was so good that it left me quite stunned. And this line served like a reminder from Gautham that this is his film.

  His detractors within the industry r carrying out a smear campaign against VTV. But the guy seems 2 b unpertubed.

  Fresh take on love
  
  RAJASELVAN T
  
  
  
  
  Movie: Vinnaithandi VaruvaayaCast: Silambarasan, Trisha
  
  There is always something romantic about a love that is denied the rights to flourish, be it “Titanic” or “500 Days of Summer”, the latter inspiring Gautam Vasudev Menon's new offering. VTV hews to the staid Indian movie tradition of a love story with a few twists and hoping the audience will not get that déjà vu feeling. It has true chemistry and some beautiful, subtle moments of tenderness as well as some heart-rending moments of disconnectedness between the two that never comes across as heavy-handed. This see-saw method of bouncing to and fro successfully manages to force the viewer in a physically engaging shared experience of Karthick and Jessy's feelings, which is something the director aspires to elicit from his intended audience.
  
  Storyline
  
  The boy Karthick, a Hindu mechanical engineering student and an aspiring director meets girl Jessy, Malayalee Christian and a B.Sc. graduate working as a software professional. Karthik falls in love with Jessy but she only wants him to be friends but then changes her mind and there begins a relationship. Religion plays spoilsport. And the ending is not quite what you expect it to be and director Gautam deserves praise for that.
  
  The acting by the two leads is wonderful. Silambarasan has been one of my favourite actors and proves yet again why he is one of the most talented actors of his generation. His performance was truly fantastic. He brings out the school boy enthusiasm of ‘love at first sight'. Trisha's all over this one, easily one of her top performances to date. She is sassy and suave and will definitely make you love her. The supporting cast is terrific throughout and very fun to watch. Trisha is absolutely wonderful in her portrayal of Jessy and her eccentric personality. Their chemistry is wondrously compelling to watch and their moments together seem wholly convincing and genuine. Ganesh the cameraman who plays himself in the movie dons the comic part and does it with astounded brilliance.
  
  Away from cliches
  
  Favourite quotes
  
  Trisha: “Nan rendu varsathuku munnadiye B.Sc. mudichiten. Ne intha varsham thana Engineering mudicha. Nan onnavida oru vayasu moothave. So Prachanai illa Appa ketta Ne en Thambi mathiri nu solidraen”. Watch out for Simbu's reaction
  
  Simbhu: “Avan avan kadhalukkaga Amerikave poran. Nan Alappuzha pogamattenna?”
  
  The film is certainly miles above the formulaic nonsense that too often passes for Kollywood romance these days. It jarringly tries to portray a relationship that is more realistic and less clichéd than most others. Rahman's BGM is marvellous. Everyone involved does an amazing job to connect the several elements of love into a satisfying and moving conclusion targeted at mature audiences.
  
  Bottomline: Clever, lovable, laughable and well written script to keep you engaged. Stellar performances from the lead pair. Don't miss it. Two thumbs up!

  Watched the film with LM,Kalyasi and Softsword - Second Half dhaan padame. Liked most of it. - Simbhu was decent. Trisha wasn't all that bad. - BGM didn't work for me except some scenes in the second half. In fact, i thought the usic brought down the intensity in some scenes. "Vinnai thaandi varuvaya" was superb as the BGM. Liked Aaromale picturization also - Full house in PVR First half la vera imsai calls vandhuchu, missed some scenes and the whole Kannukkul song. The train scene was very well done. Other standout scenes were the episode in Ganesh's house and the break-up 'SMS' scene. However, as for the former, Kavudham spoilt the otherwise great scene by - having voice-overs for both Trisha and Simbhu at the end of the scene - avoiding physical intimacy between the two. In GM's world, its a compromise/nalla pullai scene for the fublic Apart from the lead characters, all others were either caricatures or convenience props (like Ganesh) P.S: The mother of all cringe-worthy Peters is "one way ticket to electronic city"

  
  
  VTV bit as BGM irritated me very very very much.. thaanga mudiala.. there is one scene at the gates of the house, a sad scene.. the BGM has drums and everything like a party scene... enna aaachuney puriala..

  நன்றி சொல்லும் நேரமிது
  கவுதம் மேனன் பரவசம்
  
  Last Updated 04:44 Hrs [IST], March 4, 2010
  
  ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜின் ரெக்கார்டிங் ஸ்டுடியோவுக்கே சென்று அவரை சந்தித்தார் கவுதம் வாசுதேவ மேனன். காக்க காக்க படத்தின் இந்தி ரீமேக்கை விரைவில் துவங்கப் போகும் கவுதம், ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜைதான் இசையமைக்க வைப்பார் என்று பேச்சு அடிபட துவங்கியது. ஆனால் நமது யூகங்களையெல்லாம் ஒரே பதிலில் சுக்கு நு£றாக்கிவிட்டார் கவுதம்.
  
  
  
  ஹாரிசுடன் மீண்டும் இணைவார் என்று வந்த செய்திகளை மறுத்திருக்கிறார் அவர். அப்படி ஒரு ஐடியா எனக்கு இல்லவே இல்லை என்பதுதான் அவரது பதில். அப்படியென்றால் அந்த சந்திப்பு? ஒரு வேளை மரியாதை நிமித்தமான சந்திப்பு போலிருக்கிறது (இப்படி சொல்வதுதானே இப்போதைய ஸ்டைல்)
  
  இதற்கிடையில் விண்ணை தாண்டி வருவாயா படத்திற்கு மீடியாக்களில் வந்த விமர்சனங்கள் அவரை ரொம்பவே உற்சாகப்படுத்தியிருக்கிறது. தனித்தனியாக சிலருக்கு கடிதம் எழுதி நன்றி தெரிவித்த கவுதம், நாளை அத்தனை மீடியாக்களையும் நேரில் அழைத்து நன்றி சொல்லப் போகிறார். இந்த சந்திப்பில் அவருடன் சிம்புவும், த்ரிஷாவும் கூட கலந்து கொள்கிறார்கள்.

  Taste of candyfloss
  
  Malathi Rangarajan
  
  
  The wizard of sophisticated romance is back, and how! As a story Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya (U/A) says nothing new. But Gautam Vasudev Menon's treatment makes all the difference. Every frame spells class and every scene oozes realistic love not often seen in cinema.
  
  When was the last time you saw Trisha look so ravishing? Or Simbu exemplify such finesse? The make-over of the lead pair, their romantic interludes and enactment reveal that the two have come a long way from the days of Alai, when they were first seen together, some six years ago. The credit, of course, goes to Menon, who has etched the roles with care.
  
  Jessie (Trisha) and Karthik (Simbu) happen to live in the same compound and from the moment he sets eyes on her, he is the ever-yearning lover. But Jessie keeps blowing hot and cold, till the denouement when …
  
  Simbu comes up with a commendable show, devoid of finger-snapping flippancy, bragging and bravado. You are now curious about his choice of roles post VTV. Well done Simbu! Neck and neck in the performing race is Trisha. VTV is easily her best show till date.
  
  It has taken quite a long time for Babu Antony, the strict father of Jessie, to return to Tamil — you still remember him as the cantankerous villain of the Satyaraj film, Poo Vizhi Vaasalilae. Ganesh, the friend who tags along with Karthik everywhere, is impressive and his witty one-liners lend levity to VTV. Casual and catty at once, K.S. Ravikumar, who plays film director, is very natural.
  
  The dialogue, which has a dig at Gautam Menon himself now and then, is enjoyable. For instance, Simbu says, when people go all the way to America following their sweethearts, couldn't he follow her to Alleppey - a reference to Suriya's U.S. jaunt in Gautam Menon's Vaaranam Aayiram!
  
  Art director Rajeevan, a Menon team constant, whose weakness for white comes to the fore yet again, is an asset of VTV. His effort gains accent with the lighting, tones and angles of cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa. Trisha's outfits and saris are enchanting, thanks to costume designer Nalini Sriram — the colour co-ordinates add to the aesthetic appeal.
  
  A.R. Rahman proves the past master that he is, once again. The songs in VTV sound unique in the sense that they do not always conform to the regular pattern of pallavi and charanam. Rahman has experimented a lot with the score and aiding him with apt lyric verses is Thamarai. Be it the innovative beats, the backing vocals that include Blaaze or the combination of instruments such as nagaswaram (‘Omana Pennae'), the music offers plenty of pleasant surprises. The ‘Thirukkural' couplet in a fresh refrain is one such.
  
  The choreography of ‘Hosanna' is enjoyable too. But when again and again you see the same kind of dances in groups, monotony enters. Eventually when the narration gets protracted you begin to feel that probably the song sequences were one too many. The twist in the final scene is quite unexpected, but the impact would have been even greater if the pace had been maintained. The maker who brings you to the edge of the seat every time the lovers meet clandestinely could have easily tackled the tempo factor that has been given the go-by towards the end. So why didn't he?
  
  Characterisations are flawless and go a long way in making the viewer identify himself with them. Twenty two-year old Karthik's true-to-life overtures, reactions and recklessness are just as you would expect from a director of Menon's calibre. It is his authentic depiction of Jessie's confusion that's all the more amazing — Menon's complete understanding of a woman's psyche bowls you over! So do the young lovers!

  தன்னைத் தானே தாண்டி வர முடியாமல் தவிக்கிறாள் காதலி... என்ன நடக்கும் என்பது கதை!
  
  சிம்பிள் காதல் சினிமா. ஆனால், சிம்பு - த்ரிஷாவின் கெமிஸ்ட்ரி... கிளாஸிக். 23 வயது வரை ஐந்தே சினிமாக்கள் மட்டுமே பார்த்திருக்கும் த்ரிஷாவை, சினிமா இயக்குநர் கனவில் இருக்கும் 22 வயது சிம்பு காதலிக்கிறார். மனம், மதம், இனம் எனப் பல காரணங்களை அடுக்கி சிம்புவின் காதலைத் தவிர்க்கும் த்ரிஷா என்ன செய்தார் என்பதைச் சொல்கிறது செம வித்தியாச கிளைமாக்ஸ்!
  
  'காதல் டிலைட்' கௌதம் மேனனின் 'காதலர் ஸ்பெஷல்' படம். 'என் கண்ணு வழியா உன்னை யாரும் பார்க்கலை போல!', 'உன்னை முதல் தடவை பார்த்தப்ப, உன் தலைக்கு மேல இருந்த நிலா ஃபேடாகி அவுட் ஆஃப் ஃபோக்கஸ் ஆகிருச்சு!', 'இனி எல்லாம் முடிஞ்சுபோச்சுன்னு நினைச்சேன். 'நினைக்காதே... முடிஞ்சு தான்போச்சு'ன்னு சொன்னா!' என அழகழகான க்ரீட்டிங் கார்டு வசனங்களே படம் முழுக்கக் காதல் நிரப்புகிறது.
  
  
  வம்புதும்பு செய்யாத, விரல் வித்தை காட்டாத ஸ்மார்ட் சிம்பு. 'இவருக்குள் இப்படி ஒரு கிளாஸிக் ஆக்டரா?' என்று பல இடங்களில் நம்மை ஆச்சர் யப்படுத்திக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறார். காதலில் விழுந்து, கசிந்து, நெகிழ்ந்து, மகிழ்ந்து, தவித்து... மாஸ்டர்பீஸ் கச்சிதம். வெளிநாட்டுப் பூங்காவில் த்ரிஷாவிடம், 'என் வாழ்க்கையிலும் ஒரு பொண்ணு கடந்துபோனா!' என்று ஆரம்பித்து, கண்ணீர் மறைத்து, வேதனை கடித்து, காதலில் வெம்பும் இடத்தில்... மார்வெலஸ் சிம்பு! இதுவரையிலான கிளாமர் ஹீரோயின் இமேஜ் துடைத்து, பளிச் பக்கத்து வீட்டுப் பெண் தோற்றத்தில் த்ரிஷா... ஸோ க்யூட்! 'நண்பன்' சிம்புவின் குறும்புகளுக்கு இரும்புக் கதவாகப் பூட்டிக்கொள்வதும், ரயில் பயண முத்தங்களின்போது கதவிடுக்குக் குளிர்க் காற்றாக நெகிழ்வதும்... ஏரியா ஏஞ்சல் அழகு!
  
  'நான் பெரிய ஆளுடா... எந்தப் பிரச்னை வந்தாலும் நான் பாத்துக்கிறேன்' என்று உதார்விடுவதும், 'இது மட்டும் கோடம்பாக்கத்துக்குத் தெரிஞ்சா... அவ்வளவுதான்!' என உதறுவதுமாக காதல் கதையில் கலகலப்பு சேர்க்கிறார் 'ஒளிப்பதிவாள நண்பர்' கணேஷ்.
  
  ஒவ்வொரு வார்த்தையிலும் காதல் தொனிக்கும் தாமரையின் பாடல்களுக்கு ஒவ்வொரு துடிப்பிலும் காதல் தவழவிடுகிறது ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் இசை. ஆஸ்கருக்குப் பிறகான ரஹ்மான் டச்சில் 'ஹோசோனா', 'ஓமனப் பெண்ணே...' பாடல்கள் சர்வதேசச் சரக்கு.
  
  இருள், பால் வெள்ளை நிலா, தென்னை மரங்கள், கரையோர வீட்டு வாசல் த்ரிஷா... கேரள அழகைக் கொள்ளைகொள்ளும் மனோஜ் பரமஹம்சாவின் கேமரா மொத்தப் படத்துக்கும் ரம்மிய டோன் சேர்க்கிறது.
  
  முதல் பாதி காதல் ஃபீல்... பின்பாதி ஆரம்பித்ததுமே வற்றி வடிந்துவிடுவது ஏனோ கௌதம்? திரும்பத் திரும்ப, 'அப்பாவுக்குப் பிடிக்கணும்!' என்று கிளிப்பிள்ளை காரணம் சொல்லி, காதலை அத்தனை சிக்கலாக்கிக்கொள்ளும் த்ரிஷாவின் மனநிலையில் ஏன் அத்தனை குழப்பம்? முகவரி இல்லாமல், காதலிக்கிறாளா என்று தெரியாமல் காதலியைத் தேடிப் போகும் ஹீரோ, இரவு ரயில் பயணங்கள், வில்லனுக்கு கௌதம் மேனனின் குரல், மெக்கானிக்கல் இன்ஜினீயர் ஹீரோ, அத்தனை நடனங்களிலும் உடலை வளைத்து மடக்கி, ஒடித்து ஆடும் அமெரிக்க டான்ஸர்கள் என்று படம் நெடுக கௌதம் கிளிஷேக்கள்! முதல் பாதிக் காட்சிகளே இரண்டாம் பாதியை மீண்டும் மீண்டும் நிரப்பும் சமயங்களில், கண்ணைக் கட்டுவதைத் தவிர்க்க முடியவில்லை!
  
  அநாவசிய நீளம், ஓயாத பேச்சு என்று சிலபல குறைகள் இருந்தாலும், கௌதம் மேனனின் காதல் பரிசுக்காக டிராஃபிக் தாண்டி தியேட்டர் தொடலாம்!

  Not sure what made you to think that his real life is different from stage persona. he wasnt seen in any interviews pre-Nantha .. avar interview koduka aarambichadhae post Pithamaghan enaku therinju ..

  Just to give an idea..

I think he is more comfortable with the known persons.. idhula LIVE program ellam Vijay ku othae varala .

  Not interested siva. I could not figure out what you were saying adhaan confused icon pOttEn. I like Ajith more than Surya but I have a whole lot of respect for Surya as an actor.

  rookie mistake I shud say.. Keeping the blame on him aside, even the 20 , 30 even 40 years veteran in the history have said more emotional words. The good thing is Surya didnt respond to any of the media allegations on his "eena piravi" stuff and stopped it right there thus proving him to be a matured actor now.. No more rookie now u see

  But how does that matter? Here's a question - if A/V can give 10 flops and survive, andha 10-la rendu, vENAm, 1, one and only one movie nalla directors-ku endha vidha compromise-um illAma, nalla script-ai patronise paNNalAmE?
  As you say, they are in a better positiion than Surya to patronise good(or alternate, if not good) cinema yet they dont do it. Which actually means one has to respect Surya more, because despite being in a comparably unfavourable position to A/V, he actually does patronise good cinema
  (Ofcourse, his last 2 movies, and upcoming movies dont inspire confidence, and if he goes the same way, he'll also join the list)

Trisha is getting better than being bad. Ganesh is cinematically gratuitous! This is not a slow movie but an iluvai not worth even 30 mins narration. Tamil Cinemava 1.45hrsa maathanum. IInd half is sleep inducing. Climax is the best part in this movie. ARR songs are saviors and since its a night show couldnt notice much of BGM. This GVM's smartly marketed 'chocolate for lovers' may appeal to some but lacks tasting experience. Did GVM mean that Jessy watched only his 5 films?

  One more case of directors miffed by reviews.
  
  IE's review carried the title "Stylishly narrated; Pooryl directed"; the review was generally postive with some comments about the second half. Apparently someone (Bharadwaj Rangan says "some buffoon from GVM's office") called the paper and blasted the reviewer and asked her not to review anymore. Not verbatim, writing from my memory as Rangan's blog is blocked here.

  AM, Yeah, I wanted to quote Baradwaj here, too. He did mention that this is usually the case with buffoons around directors/actors, including Manirathnam.
  Baradwaj has mentioned most of the points I felt and posted here about the movie (Roshan, note - avar ippO dhAN ezhudhi irukkAr - naan appOvE ezhudhittEn )
  * Not enough investment in Karthik
  * Personal rejection being a trigger for career focus( even if career itself wasnt a burning ambition before- which is basically what I wanted to say to Nerd's criticism - he neednt have been burning to become a director for him to prioritise direction over Jessy at that point - what was lesser priority before could come in front at that pont)

  Very interesting and kinda expected this, because that's just the way GVM has been. In time, he will cut this out.
  
  Some directors don't feel the need to look at papers, and exactly know what they have done. I guess the inspiration comes from within. Some look at boxoffice and are satisfied that a considerable pair of eyeballs are onto their work.
  
  Not that to care about criticism is negative, some filmmakers like GM, look for media/press reactions to their films, a bit closely. Nothing wrong in thanking the critics for being kind, earnestly or sarcastically.
  
  I think, GM should have grown to a point, that most of the professional critics and reviewers are hacks and phonies, who have nothing interesting to say or add. Except for a few exception, with some reservations. Honestly, we have come to a point where we exactly guess what Brangan is going to make of a film. And how (banal, by practice) his review is going to be...

  Venki said those were the only worthy films Suriya has done.
  Looking at their respective filmographies, who do you think has acted in a better %age of 'better' cinema ('good' ellam venaam, relative-a pesuvom).

  Another point is what Bala put forth in his post
  #2. nalla padathula nadikaaravan ellAm nalla actor illai.
  
  I am willing to grant that Surya is an inferior actor to (even) Vijay/Ajith, if that makes people happy. But what cannot be denied is that as of now, he has patronised more number of "better" cinema than those two. At the minimum this comes to 2 vs 0, which even his haters have conceded. To me, this matters more than "Who is, in terms of potential the better actor?".
  As we speak, his last two releases and the known forthcoming releases seem to be letting down this line of thought, and focussing on becoming a poor man's Vijay/Ajith. If it comes to that, we'll dump him without remorse.
  
  As of date, I'd rather patronise a Surya movie than A/V. Because if he gets a foothold as a mass star, there is hope based on his record that he'll try out other things. Something which A/V have never shown any inclination to, and given their longevity, it is fair to conclude that they have squandered that opportunity long ago

  For what its worth, there are extremely mushy shows/hosts on tv, who bring over folks like GM (and Simbu), and make 'em cringe, in return. They easily surpass the level of cringe-worthiness in his films.

  I agree for Nandha and not for Pithamagan. Pithamagan has got Surya factor than Bala factor. Ajith would have been better than Surya in KK and Gajini.

  Of course, all we know is it's a "buffoon" who did that call. Unlike the Bala episode where it was mentioned explicitly that "the director is angry with the reviewer".

  I guess it's necessary for him, to keep working.
  
  That's reflective of GM, on one hand it's refreshing to see someone openly acknowledging that he cares about reviews, and on the other hand, it isn't really necessary, especially because of the majority of hacks in journalism today.
  
  As I said, there are different type of filmmakers. They are vulnerable, in different ways, to criticism. We cannot possibly define what's necessary. If we killed his anticipation(especially if it's the fuel to the desire of making movies) for external reactions, we might have killed his urge to make movies.

  uh?! But it actually was, Stylishly narrated. and then...Poorly directed. Which is not saying the same thing as yours.
  
  I'm not interested in measuring the tremors of his acquaintances (and NOT his, or maybe he overlooked it, see! We are treading over unconfirmed territory...) by a Richter scale. The reviewer should probably take it legally, as it seems to be a threat. but then what do I know..
  
  My point is, certain filmmakers care a lot about reviews, and I don't see 'em changing by persuasion, but largely from within. It's part of the deal..
  
  But some reviews borders from self-contradiction to borderline ridiculous. Obviously, that doesn't cede the filmmaker to run over the film critic, but "miffed", I suppose, is understandable..

  Anyway........ Surya is the one of the actor I admire very much more for his off screen persona and also for his on screen acting ..but athu konja percentage ah than irukkum........one example for Surya's humility is during the live show for Aadhavan movie they had Surya's life size poster through out the room.... Surya commented... "ithula paathi poster ah remove pannitu anga Vadivelu photo va vaikanum..coz he is pivotal for the movie' success more than me"... and that excitement in the eyes when he told this suggested it comes straight from his heart....... these are some of the few..

  Home > More news
  
  Gautham Menon held a thanksgiving press-meet in Chennai for making Vinnathaandi Varuvayaa a great success.
  
  When the reporters quizzed on whether VTV was based on a real-life incident, pat came the reply from the director and it was a clear ‘no’. Gautham said that the film is a fiction. When asked about his earlier statement to the press that it was based on a real-life incident, the director said that he made a false statement. An unrelenting pressperson wanted to know the truth behind VTV’s inspiration, and Gautham stuck to his statement that it was a fiction.
  
  While the Tamil version is a tragedy, the Telugu version has happy ending. To this, the gutsy director replied that being a co-producer to the Tamil version he decided to stick to the tragedy, come what may. Producer Udhayanidhi Stalin also welcomed the decision. However, the Telugu version had a different producer who was not willing to take the risk.

  Gautam likes to break rules
  
  Sreedhar Pillai, Mar 6, 2010, 12.00am IST
  
  
  
  noted director Gautham Vasudev Menon, it is a double whammy at the BO. His Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and its Telugu version Ye Maaya Chesave, have been declared hits by the trade. What’s more, both the films have been getting critical acclaim. The icing on the cake, however, was when Gautham received a letter from veteran director K Balachander, who raved about the film. The maverick director opens up to TOI
  
  What was your first reaction to VTV turning out to be a hit and the rave reviews?
  I’m overwhelmed by the reaction to VTV which has been declared a hit not only in Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Kerala and Karnataka but in overseas markets as well. My gamble of using two different climaxes for the Tamil and Telugu versions has paid off.
  
  The best compliment that you have got so far for VTV
  I treasure the letter written to me by KB sir, a living legend among directors in India. To quote him — “I saw after a very long time characters as people instead of caricatures. I saw a control over narration and performance, which left me stunned. The experience of VTV leaves one joyous and anguished at the same time, which is the very definition of love!” Then, the legendary Telugu actor Nageswar Rao (grandfather of Nag Chaitanya, hero of the Telugu version) told me that the film evoked a sense of nostalgia.
  
  On the other hand, a few people are critical about its music and slow pace, and feel that the climax is confusing...
  I have always said that VTV is a clichéd, simple love story with a dark line running right through. I like to break the rules when it comes to filmmaking and the entire film is conversational. It is based on the lives of Karthik and Jessie. Rahman himself says the music is quirky. About it being slow-paced, it had seven songs by the master and its picturisation took away a good 30 minutes. What’s left is only two hours of narrative.
  
  Is there an autobiographical streak in VTV?
  Quite a few elements in my films are taken from my own experiences or from the lives of those who grew up with me. For cinematic reasons, a fictional angle is woven in to the story. I married a Syrian Christian girl from Kerala during my days as an assistant director. Like Trisha’s character in the film, my wife too does not enjoy watching films. But unlike VTV, our love culminated in marriage. We are still very much in love.
  
  The industry says that you make films in English for a Tamil audience and that they are only meant for a niche market.
  One should never underestimate the intelligence of the audience. I believe that irrespective of where they watch a film — a multiplex in Mount Road or a single screen in Marthandam — people will always appreciate a good film. I don’t believe in spoon-feeding the viewer. The bottom line is that VTV is a huge success because it struck a chord with movie-goers. Perhaps they liked the lead performances by Simbu and Trisha, Manoj Paramahamsa’s camera work, Antony’s editing, Rajeevan’s art work, Nalini Sriram’s costumes or A R Rahman’s music. I’m willing to accept that 25 to 30 per cent of those who watched the film may not have liked it, but then, that’s the beauty of cinema.

  Gautham Menon success party!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 06 March , 2010, 12:43
  
  
  
  
  Gautham Vasudev Menon had a press meet on Friday afternoon at Green Park Hotel to thank the press. His Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa has been getting good reviews and the film is turning out to be a hit.
  
  Silambarasan, Trisha and the technical team of the film, presenter Udhayanidhi Stalin and producers of the film were there at the meet. Gautham Menon said that there is hardly anything personal in it as the film was purely fictional, when the press grilled him on it.
  
  On why he had two endings for the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film, Gautham said as he is one of the co-producers of the film he and the Tamil Nadu distributor of the film Udhayanidhi struck to a realistic end.
  
  At the same time, the Telugu producers wanted a happy ending and were not a risk taker so he obliged them. The best part was that both the endings have been accepted by the audiences.
  
  The Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa songs have also been premiered on the television channels from Friday (March 5). The trade feels it will do even better business in its second week as there is no real opposition to it. The Chennai multiplexes are sold out for the second weekend.

  எனக்கு இந்த வருடத்தின் சிறந்த முதல் படம் இது என்று தோன்றுகிறது. இந்த படத்தின் கதை எனக்கு தெரியாது, ஒரு விமர்சனம் கூட படிக்கவில்லை. எந்த ஒரு எதிர்பார்ப்பும் இன்றி போய் பார்த்தேன். நான் எதிர் பார்க்கவே இல்லை இப்படி ஒரு தரமான படமாக இது இருக்கும் என்று.
  
  முதல் பதினைந்து இருபது நிமிடங்கள் எனக்கு அவ்வளவாக பிடிக்க வில்லை. ஹோசானா பாடல் த்ரிஷாவை பார்த்த மாத்திரத்தில் சிம்பு பாட ஆரம்பித்தவுடன் "போச்சுடா!" என்று நினைத்தேன். ஆனால் போக போக படம் மிக நேர்த்தியாக அமைந்திருந்தது. வசனங்கள் டாப் கிளாஸ்!
  
  சிம்பு, த்ரிஷா - அருமை! சிம்பு, த்ரிஷா இவ்வளோ அழகாக நடிப்பார்கள் என்று நான் நினைத்து கூட பார்க்க வில்லை. சிம்பு ரொம்ப அசால்டாக, பிரித்து மேய்ந்திருக்கிறார்! திரிஷாவும் தான். வெறும் பார்வையால் பல இடங்களில் நன்றாக செய்திருக்கிறார்.
  
  ரகுமான் இந்த படதிருக்கு பெரிய தூண். பின்னணி இசையில் மனிதர் பின்னி எடுத்திருக்கிறார். இவர் தான் இந்த படத்தின் இன்னொரு நாயகன்.
  
  இந்த படத்தில் உள்ள சிறு சிறு குறைகள்:
  
  - திரும்ப திரும்ப ஒரே வசனங்கள்
  - ஆச்சாரமான கிறிஸ்துவ குடும்ப பெண் வெளியே செல்லும் போதெல்லாம் லோ ஹிப்பில் அசத்துகிறார்.
  - சிம்பு அவரை விரும்பும் பெண்ணை, திரிஷாவை சந்திபதற்கு முன்னால் கல்யாணம் செய்திருக்க வேண்டும். அதற்க்கு பிறகு இரண்டு பேரும் சேர்ந்து அந்த படத்தை பார்த்திருந்தால், கிளாசிக்! இப்பொழுது த்ரிஷா மீது தவறு இருப்பது போல தெரிகிறது.
  
  படம் மெதுவாக செல்கிறது என்று சொல்பவர்கள் இந்த படத்தை மெதுவா தான் சொல்ல முடியும் என்பதை புரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். ஜெஸ்ஸி குழப்புகிறார் என்று சொல்பவர்கள், ஜெஸ்ஸி குழப்பவாதி தான் என்பதை அவரே ஒப்புகொள்கிறார். பிரிண்ட்ஷிப் என்று சொல்லிவிட்டு முத்தம் இட அனுமதிக்கிறார் என்றால், அவருக்கு கார்த்திக் மேல் உள்ளது காதல் தான். ஆனால் அவனை விட்டு பிரியவும் முடியாமல், அருகே சேர்க்கவும் முடியாமல் அந்த அவதியை ஜெஸ்ஸி மிக அருமையாக வெளிகாட்டியுள்ள மிக இன்டிமேட் ஆன காட்சி அது. இந்த படம் கண்டிப்பாக கலாய்க்கும் நண்பர்களுடன் செல்ல கூடாது, ஒருத்தர் என்னடா இப்படி மொக்கையா இருக்கு என்று ஆரம்பித்தால் போதும், படம் மேல் உள்ள விருப்பமே போய்விடும்.
  
  PS : கௌதம் சார்! பாட்டுல்லாம் வெள்ளக்காரங்க உருண்டு, புரண்டு, தல கீழா நிக்கிற தெல்லாம் எப்ப விடுறதா உத்தேசம்? முடில பாஸு!

  'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya' Success Meet
  [Saturday, March 06, 2010]
  At the meeting to thank the media for their support in taking ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ to the public successfully the entire team of ‘VTV’ gathered at the Green Park hotel in Chennai.
  
  Speaking at the event Goutham Menon said he was confident with the film and the climax as he was also one of the producers. He said he learnt a lot from A R Rahman and he would like to do more films with him.
  
  Producer Udhayanidhi said he feels proud to have distributed such a nice film. Cameraman Manoj Paramahamsa thanked the stars Trisha and Silambarasan who did not mind even shooting at as early as 6 o’clock in the morning.
  
  Silambarasan thanked all particularly Trisha for being friendly and helping him in doing this film. Trisha spoke fluently in Tamil said the film is a very special film of her life.
  
  While answering questions Goutham Menon said he never doubted the intelligence of the audience and thanked the press and people for identifying it.
  
  There’s much more in this video. Watch it in full

  Quote:

  LOVE, FACTUALLY Gautham Vasudev Menon’s very real, very true-to-life, very messy romance is yet another effort, this year, that pushes the envelope far beyond the realms of “safe” commercial cinema. MAR 7, 2010 – WHAT A YEAR THIS IS TURNING OUT to be for Tamil cinema! Forget good films or perfect films or successful films or films that will be claimed as classics by aliens roaming the planet after humankind has become extinct – I’m simply referring to the unfettered ambition that has been leaping off our screens ever since the new decade dawned. Recent releases like Goa and Thamizh Padam and Porkalam have, in their own distinct ways, helped demolish the long-nurtured myth that the Tamil audience is toweringly traditional – with hair well-oiled and plaited and beribboned and festooned with fragrant garlands of jasmine – and that spoofs and same-sex couples are never going to be tolerated. Industry wisdom was that you could veer into the offbeat, but only if the milieu was rural – and so for a while, the only truly interesting stories revolved around sickle-wielding small-town heroes. But even if it’s too soon to single out a viable movement of any serious value, it appears, now, that edgy urban narratives aren‘t without their assortment of admirers. The real signs of hope, however, are that even the major movies – the ones from big-gun directors and funded with multiples of crores – are rebelling against the must-have model, which posits that you must have comedy tracks and you must have item songs and you must have scenes of melodramatic sentiment that will appease the unsophisticated viewer. Selvaraghavan’s Aayirathil Oruvan and Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya are essentially 16-odd reels of a raised middle finger directed at those who swear by safety, and the (relative) success of these films might make the commercial waters a little safer for future directors, who can now dream of plunging into the untried and untested without fearing the fast-approaching fins of box-office sharks. It is the tendency of filmmakers, after establishing themselves, to keep churning out formulaic movies that will perpetuate their commercial credibility – but both Selvaraghavan and Menon have opted to leap off craggy cliffs without chutes, making the films they want to make as opposed to the films that they think we want to watch. That’s a real reason for exhilaration. My experience with Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya (VTV) was similar to my experience of Aayirathil Oruvan – around interval point, I wasn’t quite sure what I was watching. I knew it was something drastically different and I knew that I should withhold judgment until the end, but I couldn’t help picking away at the scabrous annoyances. I was a mess of mind-games. The conceptualisation of Jessie, for example, is simply fantastic, but should the character have been played by someone with more presence (someone like Samantha, say, who, in her handful of scenes, shows more heft than Trisha who’s there from start to stop)? Or is the wishy-washiness of Trisha as an actress the perfect fit for the wishy-washiness of Jessie, and would a better actress have overthought her portrayal and not just lived it out? Karthik (nicely played by Silambarasan), is a fascinating character too, but did we really need the actor expressing his infatuation (with Jessie) every couple of seconds in such overtly gestural fashion, like a mime trying to convince us he’s in love? And did this love have to be – early Mani Ratnam-style – yet another instance of infatuation at first sight (rather, at first long-distance sideward glance)? It’s wonderful that the young hero’s sidekick-equivalent isn’t a backpack-slinging college kid but a man of a certain age and with a certain amount of life experience (Ganesh is perfect in this low-key role), but considering that he fills in as confidante plus father-figure plus professional guide and guardian angel, shouldn’t he have played a bigger part in the proceedings? Couldn’t the unsympathetic father and the unnecessary mother have been axed in favour of more scenes with this unusual masculine presence in Karthik’s life? And couldn’t the mandatory heroics of one man boxing his way out of an opposition of many have been avoided as well? And couldn’t the songs (from one of AR Rahman’s stronger soundtracks in Tamil) have been shot and staged better, eschewing mere one-two-three-four choreography with backup dancers for a sense of the mood of the moment, a feat achieved only during the unfurling of Mannippaaya? Why does this director, who has the enviable track record of hit soundtrack after hit soundtrack, shortchange his music so? Even if the intent during these numbers was to mirror the larger-than-life filmmaking mind of the protagonist, are pretty panoramic pictures the only way out? But as with Aayirathil Oruvan, all this hand-wringing evaporated into the ether by the time the film ended, and even some of the early choices, in retrospect, came to make sense. The frills of the first half – the extraneous characters, the perky song breaks, the attempts to embrace a larger sense of the community around Karthik and Jessie, even the faint feints at melodrama – fall away, and we get to see something very rare in Tamil cinema: the treatment of love as the most complicated of emotions, which reduces its two participants to behaviours beyond the realm of reason or logic. It’s not that we haven’t seen melancholy-tinged love stories earlier, but in melodramas like Idhayam, there was a solid crux, a tangible obstacle (like the hero’s extreme diffidence) to be overcome. But VTV deals with the sort of hurdle that’s there and yet not there. Menon succeeds brilliantly in putting across a most maddening woman in Jessie, who wants to be with Karthik and yet doesn’t want him enough to risk shaking up the foundations of her life. The hero is essentially a withered-up autumn leaf blown this way and that in the gale force of her indecision. The problem isn’t particularly that she’s older than Karthik, or that she’s Christian to his Hindu, or that her stentorian father will not approve of this match, or that, as a card-carrying citizen of Venus, she herself is unsure, at some levels, about this mad Martian who woos her incessantly – Jessie’s mind is like an exam sheet with these multiple-choice options, and her problem is all of the above. On a logical level, her decisions – depicted, in a masterstroke, in sms-es that flash by almost as instantly as her quicksilver mood changes – make no sense, because we’re used to seeing films where if the hero likes the heroine and if this like is reciprocated, all they have to do is surmount external hurdles like parental opposition. But what does a man do if the obstacle is internal, inchoate, indistinct? Menon does something extraordinarily brave in playing out the iterative indecisions of his heroine’s mind, which loop unto themselves infinitely, the frustrating way real life often is when not chopped up into easily digestible narrative chapters in an easily absorbable big-screen story. Messy Jessie is clearly the standout character in VTV – the latest in a long line of fascinating females (Jyotika in Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu and Kaakha Kaakha, Divya Spandana in Vaaranam Aayiram) from this director – but Karthik (who, mercifully, isn’t the high-minded romantic sop we’re usually saddled with, but a raging creature of the loins too) isn’t without his intriguing quirks. In a beautifully observed scene where they settle down to watch a movie, she turns to talk to him about their situation and sees his eyes transfixed on the screen. She’s seen a bare handful of movies in her entire life, while to him, movies are his life – and she actually asks if he’d rather have this conversation after the movie. His profession is such an integral aspect of his person, it’s inevitable that the film ends with a film-within-a-film, his own. As the love story deepens – or more precisely, as it stays resolutely on the surface in ever-widening ripples, thanks to Jessie’s inability to dive into commitment – Silambarasan’s performance begins to take hold almost without your noticing it, and by the time he breaks down while seated on a park bench, your eyes are awash in unshed tears that recall any number of times you’ve been in love, out of love, in between love. Losing a woman, sometimes, is the first step towards becoming a man – VTV understands this, how a personal setback can make one a better professional. Young-male romantic angst, especially of underachieving and over-besotted engineers, is something Menon understands very well – Suriya’s breakdown scene in the telephone booth in Vaaranam Aayiram took a similar sledgehammer swing to the heart. (And speaking of the latter, where its star turned stalker and went all the way to America in search of love, Menon gamely makes fun of this aspect, as also his tendency to write English lines for his characters.) Then again, the romantic track in Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu wasn’t about young love at all, detailing as it did a weather-beaten exchange of hearts between exhausted souls. Menon started with a romantic story, Minnale, which didn’t work for me at all – perhaps because it was a first feature, he courted cliché with a vengeance, and there was nothing in it but the music. But in the films since, he’s evolved into one of our finest chroniclers of love. The question, though, is why VTV is being perceived as a feel-good romance. It’s something far braver, far tougher – it’s a romance that plays out not with teddy bears and valentines but on shards of broken glass. It’s feel-good only in the sense that it makes you feel good about the future of Tamil cinema.

  You guys must be aware about KB's 3 page letter to GVM praising the film whole heartedly. This man had this quality right from the beginning and if he thinks that a particular film is good cinema he never hesitated to shower his accolades on its creator and its team.

  Watched it last evening. Didn't have much expectations as couldn't sit beyond 30 mins. of VA. What a surprise it turned out to be, I got engrossed in the movie till the end. There is nothing storywise, but somehow it worked for me (when you think back, there are only 3 casts, 4-5 dialogues & max. 4-5 locations). The big plus were songs (ARR ). Frankly I never liked any but Omana Penne prior to watching the movie, but now like every song (Mannippaaya being the pick of it). ARR's background score was quite good (except the scene when they breakup as has been pointed out previously). 2nd half was a drag. Trisha did much better. Simbu had a decent performance (not as exaggrated by few). Climax was Definitely watchable once. GVM

  Simbu is back as action hero in GM film!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Monday, 08 March , 2010, 10:22
  
  
  It looks like the Gautham Menon- Ajith film is getting delayed, as the star is hitting the race track.
  
  The latest buzz in Kollywood is that after the stupendous success of VTV, the lucky team of Gautham Menon, Silambarasan and producers Escape Artists Motion Pictures & R.S Entertainment Pvt. Ltd are back with another film.
  
  Says Simbu: owe a lot to Gautham Vasudev Menon. We are planning to do another film immediately, on priority basis. Gautham gave me a new image of a soft romantic hero with VTV. And now our next film will be an all out stylish action film, which will be my next film?
  
  The grapevine has it that Simbu has started working out to get into right shape and tone his body for the gruelling action scenes in the film.

  Impressive film. Goutham's best till date.
  
  The first half had all that is annoying about his films. Nails on blackboard type unimaginative lines, simbhu's assault on underplay (thus fusing the Tamil and English meanings of the word assault) and nothing interesting at all happening. One had to admit that it was 'different' - but that was hardly argument enough. But the film steadily got better, Simbu and Trisha performed quite well in most scenes (hurry, read this line now, I will come back and delete it soon) and the film stood up.
  
  The pendulum type swinging character of Trisha was quite well written, and someone like Simbhu feeling the way he does also comes across quite 'naturally' (yes, including the swearing). The twist was very guessable - idhukku edhukku ellArum spoiler pOtteenga ?
  
  Goutham-ku oru dialogue writer parcel veNum. Badly. English to Tamilizations like "இப்பொ ஒண்ணு கேட்டேன்...அது தானே நீ சொன்ன ? " were but were well received in the crowd. I see he has gotten much better at humour (without overdoing it). I somehow didn't find Ganesh's as funny as perhaps he set out to be. OTOH, KS Ravikumar was good.
  
  Didn't like the songs much except Hosanna. Except MannippAya. others were speedbreakers. Didn't like the BGM in many places.
  
  The film is not without frayed edges in logic with space for whys and why nots. But the story of these two and their reactions to each other were well told.
  
  The most important thing that needs to be appreciated is the fact that the film was very 'honest'. VA - had the kidnap, rescue, anjalai type pandering. Here it was largely, whatever needs to be told for the story. No shock and awe, audience yEthukkaNumnA ippidi seyyaNum etc etc. If VTV runs (and given that VKK ran too) runs we can truly have a good coexistence of urban and turban films. And hopefully we will get better at it.

  Rajini goes ga-ga over VTV
  
  By Moviebuzz | Monday, 08 March , 2010, 09:15
  
  
  A special show of Gautham Vasudev Menon抯 Vinnayithaandi Varuvaayaa was arranged for superstar Rajinikanth by the director at Four Frames preview theatre.
  
  Rajinikanth was bowled over by the film which he felt was a 搇ovely and moving love story with a difference.?Gautham Menon said that he was very pleased to know that the superstar loved the film.
  
  He loved the performance producer Ganesh, who in the film acts as the cameraman of Khakka Khakka. Rajinikanth really thought Ganesh was the guy who did KK and was surprised to know that he is Gautham抯 friend and one of the producers of VTV!

  Exactly, again. I dont care if this is a great or very good movie. It is very very honest, and really speaking, a middle finger at those kalaipuli types with their own convoluted ideas of what works and what doesnt. For that alone, I'd wish this movie a super success. And hopefully, this sort of 'envelope-pushing' can be taken to the extreme.

  Yeah, adhAn naanum sonnEn. Nevertheless, if you approach the movie from the angle of "does simbu get trisha or not?", it would be a spoiler - and I can see from a few reviews that people, especially younger ones, seem to be approaching from that angle as well.

  Agree. Infact, I have never thought of any previous Menon movie as better than average or above-average. I didnt really expect to like this film when I went in.

  I didn't bother about it.
  
  It's about the "closure" bit that I was interested. That could separate about 100 other films from (500) days of Summer, and quite apparent VTV differs in this regard. So people like Rajaruud should breath a little easy on plagiarism.
