Vaaranam Aayirum - my review

Finally the most awaited movie of mine in recent times got rolled out on Nov 14. I got a chance to see the movie on Nov 15 ,the Saturday night not on a great theater though.

In short about the movie, I liked,enjoyed it..could relate to it...It is definitely not the greatest but certainly good.

The story is about the relation between a dad and son in the eyes of the son. This movie is actually an inspiration from the Hollywood's greatest "Forrest Gump". Though not in the same caliber but certainly has not disappointed the fans like me who yearn for non-masala/non-commercial Tamil movies.It is not a usual story which has a start and expected end. The whole movie is about the thoughts of this son who thinks about how much of role his dad plays in different stages of his life like teenage,college,love,success,failures etc....

It is an amazing performance by Surya. He is really maturing as one of the finest actors in Tamil Cinema.Surya plays the role of teenager,early 20's,late 20's,early 30's,60 year old all with enough differences to make you relate to the charactar. The makeup was not so obvious and the strain he has taken to have different physiques for each of the character is very evident and appreciable.

I cant just wait to write about Sameera Reddy. I am sure she herself will admit that she has never been portrayed as beautiful as in this movie before. She is just too good. She does her part very well and again "too good"

The greatest asset of the movie are the songs of the movie. Harris Jeyaraj proves his mettle once again...I have really fallen in love with the songs of this movie. Harris Jeyaraj has really got the so called magic touch rendering songs with one of the finest usage of guitar in Tamil music

The movie does have lots of minuses like the second half being lengthy, unnecessary rescue operation scenes. But those being apart,this is movie worth watching if you are looking for something off from the routine masala Tamil movies

I sign off this post with the best dialogue of the movie "Life has to go on"

I know you are good talker and have just come to know that you are good writer though. This morning was a pleasant, unusual as I started with something different, 'reading blogs' of a special one

Yeah- I'm pretty new to your blogs

I like the songs more to listen.
Thank god it is not that bad of Vijay's movie (kuruvi). I'm happy to that extent

Best

Hey, I am still trying to understand how you managed to sit for the whole movie. For every one their daddy is the first inspiration, period. It is needless to, you know, show it up again and again. I started hating the word 'DADDY' after watching this movie.
Gowtham to remember the phrase 'Familiarity breeds contempt'.
Harris Jayaraj is good.. But not as good as he used to be.and this is the last Gowtham's movie with Harris, next is with Rahman.

haven't seen the movie yet....but looks worth watching...so u were really yearning for non-masala non-commercial tamil movies???? did u really think Kuselan will fall in that category? what made u to watch that on very first show?

if u start getting movies of Varanam Ayiram theme frequently then u will look for some nice masala movie from Dharani or Hari or sometimes from Perarasu as well...
