‘A unique love story between Trisha
as Jesse and Silambarasan as Karthik’
is what Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV) is
all about. Releasing this weekend, VTV is
what would have been a perfect Valentine's
Day release for Kollywood. But, here we
are, two weeks after Valentine's Day, ready
to receive the first all-out romantic release
of 2010.
After the cute and lovable debut that he
made with Minnale, a film that is still
popular for the wonderful way in which it
depicted romance, Gautham Menon moved on
to more serious and action-packed stuff.
Kaakka Kaakka and Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu
whetted his appetite for cop subjects (of
course, there are now talks about the Gautham-Ajith
combination which might once again be a
cop story) while he surprised us with an
unusual attempt in Pachaikili Muthucharam.
Late in 2008, he showed signs of going back
to the more mellow stuff with Vaaranam Aayiram.
Now, looks like Gautham Menon has come full
circle (may be too early in his career to
say such a thing) and is back to love, romance
and all the sweet things in life. |

Love stories are predictable. Boy meets girl,
a little bit of wooing, rejection and then acceptance,
a few songs, the hero going down on one knee to
propose and they lived happily ever after…
But, the magic of love stories is that despite
their predictability, they can still keep you
hooked and charmed. The only requisite is that
the lead pair must look like a couple worth envying
on screen. In VTV, we have a rather under-explored
combination in Tamil cinema - Silambarasan and
Trisha. Yes, they have worked together before
in Alai, but that was hardly the sweet romantic
tale that can firmly establish the worth of a
pair. VTV will be that litmus test for this young
pair to prove that they can really create magic
together on screen. And, they are being helmed
by a man who is known for handling romances in
a very endearing way, even in his action films.
It had been pointed out some time back by a visitor
to the site that Gautham Menon has a unique way
of showing his heroines as beautiful rather than
glamorous. Looks like Gautham is set to do the
same with Trisha too. Even in the trailers, Silambarasan’s
voice describes Jesse as a classy, educated, well-read
and stylish woman. So, Trisha’s fans can
expect a new look and feel to their favorite heroine.
But, it is not just Trisha, who is in for a makeover;
Silambarasan looks a wholly different and new
person as Karthik, the assistant director who
is out to woo the girl of his dreams.
The locations look rich and exotic, the kind of
visual treat you would expect in an as sweet as
it can get romance, Manoj Paramahamsa (DOP) is
the man behind what you see on screen. And finally
getting to the most talked about aspect of VTV
- the music of A.R. Rahman.
There is no need to say a lot about the reach
or impact that ‘Hosanna’ has had in
just a few weeks. It is pure magic, something
unique to Rahman and something that will serve
as one of the biggest strengths of VTV, especially
with the way Gautham is known to picturize his
songs. It is Gautham and Rahman together for the
first time, and as much as we hope for Gautham
and Harris to reunite, the combination that has
been unearthed in VTV is definitely worth savoring.
With the season of love still lingering on, with
some liltingly romantic tunes and potentially
sparkling pair on screen, VTV has all the elements
that can make the youth melt. Let’s wait
and watch. And, we have heard that Gautham is
ready with alternative climaxes which may be used
depending upon the audiences’ reactions.
All the best! |
