VTV
is a surprise in store for most of the
Tamil movie buffs like me; in fact I haven’t
seen any of Gautham Menon’s movies
in full before. Being a busy bee with
a hectic work load, I hardly get the time
to watch movies, but I do not miss when
I hear about a good movie, I depend on
fair reviews in dependable magazines and
online blogs. We are in an era where violence,
gangsters, dons, underworld, filth in
the name of comedy and childish romance
is being portrayed in our Tamil movies,
it is refreshing to watch a movie like
VTV, which is the best romantic Tamil
movie seen in a long long time, after
Alay Payuthey perhaps. Hats off to Gautham
Menon for having the courage and the ability
to make such a beautiful movie and provide
us the entertainment that we crave for.
After reading rave reviews one after another,
I sat to watch the movie to absorb each
scene and the dialogues (mostly real life
dialogues); I hardly watch a movie twice,
unless it has the ingredients as VTV.
In fact I have said some of the dialogues
myself to my wife the time we were courting
one another, at a time she was contemplating
to depart, I convinced her to stay as
friends but not for long, when we realized
we cannot stay mere friends, there was
more than friendship deep down our hearts
and minds, that was real romance, simply
we call LOVE. We were inseparable since
then.
As we say the proof is in the pudding,
I mean the letter from KB to GM is a proof
how much VTV has appealed to such personalities
of the caliber

as
K. Balachander. When there were talks about various
directors who will carry the Tamil Film Industry on
their shoulders during the coming years, I have no
hesitation to say Gautham falls in line with Mani
Ratnam and Shankar in the highest league who will
churn out movies of high quality in the years to come,
to raise the level of movie making in the Tamil movie
industry. The expectations are high of Gautham. Simple
story telling is one thing, but VTV is a movie with
excellence in all departments, direction, music, camera,
editing, screenplay, etc.
Trisha is cute and looks lovely; I can fall in love
with this woman all over again if I am young. Silambarasan
surprised me too, now he has been raised to another
level in his acting career, he must be careful of
choosing the correct screenplays for his future movies.
Now AR Rahman, what a set of songs he has churned
out for this movie, no doubt one of his best compositions
and after a long time AR, this is what your fans are
looking for, you have proved again with such classics
as Hosanna, Omana Penne, Anbil Avan & Mannipaya,
but you surprised me with ‘Aroammale’,
a complete Malayalam song in a Tamil movie!!, who
cares about the lyrics, this song is unique and new
to Tamil, it must have been inspired by ‘Pink
Floyd’, and it sounds Jazz, what a wonderful
composition man. We are expecting AR to bring out
such freshness into Tamil songs as well.
Finally, as KB has said in his letter to GM, the chemistry
between Gautham (the captain) and his technical counterparts
is clearly evident.
