varuvaayaa is just another Gautham Menon
film you like to watch. No matter what
the story is, what the climax is...the
film gives a beautiful watching experience
when you are in movie hall.
About story? I dont think we can find
anything novel in a love story, romance,
and chemistry between a girl and boy.
Just the same first meeting, falling in
love, expressing and suppressing the love.....all
those things we have seen in many films
in all languages like aniyathipravu, alaipayuthe
etc.
Here also same happens. Situations and
back ground only differs. But sure, we
will fall in this love. The charm, the
background music, the presentation etc
makes this a completely enjoyable film.
Silambarasan is here as Karthik, an aspirant
film director, who has completed his engineering
and trying a chance to find an opening
into film world. One fine day he finds
an angel coming towards his gate and falls
in love with her on first sight. That
was his house owner's (Babu antony) daughter
Jessie, who is staying in the upper floor
of his house. He realises that she is
an year older to him, a christian girl,
malayalee etc which would cause problems
if he loves her. But he is firm in his
love and after some days effort, he tells
his love to her. He was not lucky enough
to get a positive reply then and follows
to Alapuzha (her

native place in Kerala). There during their Kerala
trip, something works out..Is it love or friendship?
Can karthik convince Jessie?? That s what Gautham
Menon tries to tell in his own way through rest of
the film....
Silambarasan....he should be the first person we should
discuss about...Amazing change! Actually I have not
seen his early movies in full..(have seen just songs,
clippings only and that too were irritating...) And
now , he has become an actor and has delivered a controlled
and matured performance.
Trisha was also equally good. She was perfect for
that role. Both of them had a good on screen chemistry
too.
I dont think Babu Antony was fit for the role given
to him in the film, any way he was OK. Special appearance
scenes by Naga Chaithanya, Samantha and KS Ravikumar
were also good. (I personally feels that Naga is not
fit for the hero character in the Telugu version of
this film)
The way Gautham Menon handled the story was beautiful.
Till interval, he was trying to show the development
of the love story. (Which was an usual track, still
he was able keep viewers engaged). Kerala sequences
were good. But the second half lacks the same momentum
or smoothness which the first half had. As usual,
we can find lot of English dialogues in the film.
There are two fight scenes in the film, which are
totally different from usual Silambarasan movie. Cinematography
by Manoj Paramahamsa was marvelous. Kerala looks more
beautiful in his frames.
I dont think it is necessary to tell about AR Rahman's
music and background score. Truely superb.! Song picturisation
was marvelous.
Totally, VTV is a lovely experience to watch. I am
quoting the heroine's words in the climax to describe
this work--"it is a simple, feel good movie",
eventhough I have different opinion about the climax
twist.
Rating: 3.75/5
