Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa – A Love Story which grows as time passes..

-

All those men/boys out there. When you see a beautiful girl what all would you be doing?
Ok.. You have a crush on her. Then?
You would say to her that she looks beautiful. And you would say that you are crazy about her and then.
If you like the way she presents herself.
Yes.. at last you would say that you love her.

That’s what is happening in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV).

The story starts very smoothly. Smooth as silk. No big dialogues from Simbu. No Non stop dance from him. So you like his character by the name Karthik. Soon Jessica (Trisha) comes. And she is so mythical to you. She is 23 in the film and she wears sarees daily to work. Yes it is good to see, but that is not practical from a 23 year old who works in Polaris.

Jessica is one sort of girl, when you say once she would say a no then you say it twice and then she would say a yes. So say it twice to get a yes from her. This includes her acceptance of Karthik’s love to her getting married to an NRI in the second half. She is very unpredictable.

 It’s a simple love story in the first half. So what all you predict will happen. You would enjoy the casting, the music, the camera, the colours, the comedy which is interwoven etc.

Then comes the second half where the story would take a jolt and slowly become a little boring. You are made to feel that the story is going to end happily but Gautham tricks the audience here. And the story ends on a sad note. Many things happen. From Karthik becoming a director to Jesse breaking their love etc etc. But these things are a little boring to see so I leave it there.

I am not going to give any interesting scenes. But watch the movie for.

  • The subtle style it has.
  • Casting (Every one is so Apt)
  • Silent Simbu.
  • Trisha – (Her costumes are so very good and she looks beautiful too)
  • The Songs and lyrics (ARR man)
  • The Colours and the Camera (handled by Manoj Paramahamsa)
  • Dialogues are also intelligent and real sometimes.

I would give an average rating of 3/5 and that’s the average of the below Chart. Do watch the film and give your comments

Kanden Kadhalai in Tamil < Jab We Met in Hindi

On the above picture do you see any difference? Hmmmm… This is the level of similarity you can see when you see Kanden Kadhalai. But I understood direction is not simply copying. You have to have the magic touch which the original director (Imtiaz Ali) has. Kannan (Director of Kanden Kadhalai) didn’t have that magic touch. Scene to Scene, Dialogue to Dialogue it is same as Jab We Met. Although he has left out some really cute scenes which comes in Jab We Meet. Some scenes coming to my mind are, when Geet and Adhitya try and catch a running train in Manali soon after he finds out her in Manali and she tells abt her dream. And the very last scene where Geet’s Sikh Grandfather says that he knew every thing and he needs only one second to find what is running between the girl and boy. In that scene you will be seeing Geet and Adhitya with their 2 children and giving a smile saying “Ji Daji” Those are some of the real sweet scenes in Jab We Met and we don’t find them in this movie. ...

It’s a Fishy world out there…

I always wanted to taste all kinds of sea food available in our fish markets. But my mother used to scare me when I was young saying that other fish expect the Vanjaram will have lots of thorns in them and it may get stuck in your throat if not chewed properly. There is no need of any proof that vanjaram has the best taste both in Fry and Stew (Kolambu) category and because of its taste it is also the costliest. It just has one centre bone and rest all is flesh. But I always wanted to taste other kind of fishes. The biggest hurdle in it is each and every fish is called differently in different parts of Tamilnadu. In Tuticorin the Vanjaram is called as Sheela Fish. So this was one of the biggest hurdle. Soon after I came to Chennai about 9 years back from Tuticorin. We tried buying fish from Velachery Fish market. But I did not like the taste of the fish. I will not say it was bad but it was very decent. Tuticorin had a better tasting fish. But Until one fine day about a year back wh...

Angadi Theru is touching and true…

Angadi Theru Movie Review (4/5). Angadi Theru means a Market. And a heavily crowded market in Chennai means Ranganathan Street . And that’s where most of the movie unfolds. Many would have gone inside Saravana Stores. And how many of us would have thought about the uniformed sales people working there? Vasanthabalan just has not visited Ranganathan street . But paused and thought about it and made this touching script mixing some hard reality too. The movie shows the lives of Kanni and Jothilingam for a period of roughly 1 year. And that happens to be the first year after they meet. They gain many things but loose many too. There is no hard lined story in this film. This movie can be taken as a chapter in a very big novel. But this chapter seems to be the touching one in the whole novel. Jothilangam a 12 th standard school topper from a village is forced to work for his family due to the sudden death of his father. He comes to Chennai and joins as a sales person at Senthil Mugura...
