Vaaranam Aayiram is about the strength of love and memories, how important they are in your life, even if your loved ones depart. The film may appear slow for some, especially those who are yet to experience the lost of a loved one, or those who are yet to fall in love.
Gautham's Vaaaranam Aayiram may not be a masterpiece in overall, but the very fact the film dishes out few of the most momentous scenes i have ever seen in cinema justifies this rating. To summarize, this is one of the great films I have seen this year! Hats off to Gowtham Menon for making Vaaranam Aayiram - his best so far (according to me)! People would've smacked him ! I'm giving ten out of ten for this great film - both hands raised! I'm gonna see it again shortly :). Well, how many guyz can do it, that too, he and Vijay are of the same age! Imagine any other actor doing the school boy role. Be it the school kid, or the middle aged father, or the young son, or the drunkard, or the military officer or the old ailing father - he is juz marvelous! I was amazed when he came out as a school kid in this movie. I don't like to compare Surya with Kamal or anyone, but he is spontaneous. Whatever I point out in this movie tend to be great! Surya ! Dude - you've certainly matured to be a fantastic actor. Divya Spandana too, has rendered a nice performance. Samira reddy - Surprise ! She acts well! All credit goes to Gowtham menon. Well done Harris! Simran - has given a good performance. Especially, the 'anal mele' whistle which comes mostly during the last 45 minutes or something. Usually, he tends to be jarring, but here, he has subtly underplayed. For the first time, I noticed (rather, heard) Harris Jeyaraj doing a commendable job at the background score. Guys - this is the new age Tamil film, for the international world. There is absolutely NO exaggeration whatsoever and it has a lot for the ordinary masala genre (Vijay, Ajith, perarasu, Hari sort of guys) to learn. This is how the incidents will unfold in a normal family. Every shot, every scene is like a wonderfully carved out statue or a beautifully written poem. What a film ! Went to see this flick today morning at 8:30 Abirami - Chennai and was drawn in to it from the first scene ! What a film !! WOW! Gowtham Vasudev Menon had certainly gone to the next level. Background music is so charming, it drags feelings out of us. I can feel my dad's presence in Krishnan's role. Story beautifully depicts an ideal relationship between father and son. This movie is dedicated to every father son duo. Story writer has shown an entire life story of Surya and Krishnan in a single movie. Watching this movie is like finding 'The Best In Quintillion'. Am sure, none of this decade or upcoming movies could be like this one. MOST IMPORTANT FATHER - SON DUO RELATIONSHIP I have seen a number of movies, but none of them is like this one. Can girls propose first? Ofcourse, they can!ġ3.
Letting children live on their own termsġ2. Overall, this movie had a little bit of everything: love, violence, adventure, music and it is a definite must watch.ħ. Only negative thought: I really wished that there were subtitles so that we could understand what Hindi words were spoken.
Although it was not very fast paced, the creative sounds made it worthwhile. I felt that she was thrown in but there needed to be something to make the movie going. It has been a long time since I have seen her and her presence made the movie pleasant. Despite the limited screen time, she really made a strong impact. His attitude kept changing so it held the audience's eyes.
His expressions and flawless Hindi and Tamil made this movie very enjoyable as well as his dual role. He really dug into the characters' role equally. As for the actors: They really created magic with this movie. Most movies always talk about mother as the motivation and somehow portray the dad as military style attitude or just thrown in for show but this movie was all about a dad's motivation, a dad who was living and compassionate. What I really like about this movie was that it showed how fathers are important as well. This movie was well made with nice melodious songs.
