Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya (2010)– Tamil Movie Review,Story & Wallpapers

No more verdicts can be marked rather than calling it as ‘A Big Disappointment’ from Gowtham Menon. Of course, we were clear about the lines drawn of film’s premise prior to its release. Yeah! A tale of striking colors about fall-in-love situation for guy and girl isn’t something out-of-box thinking. But then, Gowtham’s buffs were enthralled over his mantra of changing makeovers of Silambarasan and Trisha. On the button, roping academy award winner A.R. Rahman was a cerebral-stud that kept everyone engrossed.



Regrettably, the film falls short out of expectations for its long-winded narration that turns a good story into complex terms.
Gowtham’s previous films had wonderful characterizations that had meaningful significance. Be his debut directorial ‘Minnale’ or a mediocre flick ‘Pacchaikili Muthucharam’: it’s had such elements that manifestly drew us in. Of course, the filmmaker has tried delineating strong characterizations here with lead characters, but most of the supporting roles are incomplete.
The film revolves around a wannabe filmmaker Karthik (Silambarasan) fallen in love with Jessie (Trisha) at first sight. Now, don’t make your guesses so prolonged about the film’s outline. It doesn’t boast about religious backdrops of threadbare love stories between Hindu guy and Christian girl. By nature, there are certain things popping up here and there, but the story travels completely on different lines. Jessie is disorderly wedged between emotions and her inner adequacies.
Finally, it’s all about a surprising climax, which is something uncompromising and on pars unconvincing as well.
Silambarasan has indeed delivered a matured performance, but looks quite stilted while delivering dialogues with subtle articulations. The actor has surpassed over the sequence where he interacts with Trisha during penultimate sequences. His hilarious encounters with cinematographer are amusing. Trisha’s rejuvenated looks are precisely resplendent and she emotes well in a faultless way. She’s just at her best while expressing her reasonless confusions while breaking up with Simbhu.  Rest of the characters does get some prominences, but their culmination is incomplete at the end.
A.R. Rahman’s musical touch in ‘Hosanna’ and ‘Omana Penne’ are fantastic, but Gowtham Menon could’ve composed different visuals for the latter one. Manoj’s cinematography outperforms everything across the screens. Anthony’s editing is okay as he’s far away from his usual traits. He has adapted new techniques of cutting shots for this genre of romance-drama.
The first half has interesting moments that gratifies the universal audiences, but as the story proceeds towards the second hour, everything is messed with wavering narration. Gowtham could’ve trimmed down the duration and offered an alternative climax that would have obviously won him grand round of applause.
Trisha’s characterization is completely intense and realistic Hilary Swank utters in ‘P.S. I Love You’ – ‘We women don’t know what we want…’ when a guy questions her ‘What does a woman actually want?’ It’s obvious, as her characterization is so confused between her inner feelings and commitments.
Naga Chaitanya’s cameo with Samantha is a sang-froid entertainment (But most of the Tamil buffs are unaware about the new actors). In particular, Samantha looks cherubic and so confident with her minimal role. She’s a new girl to watch in town.
On the whole, ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’ lacks sense and discretion that doubtlessly lets every audience dashed down with their hopes.
