Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa!!!

After the opulence success of Varanam Aayiram, Gautham Vasudev Menon comes up with a subject for which he is most sort of, a love story. The director with a brilliant knack of narrative capability comes up with a simple love story with a dramatically simple screenplay which is handled very meticulously. Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV) is full of different emotions with LOVE as a stable base of emotions.
VTV has an altogether different cast for gautham, with Simbu (Karthik) and Trisha (Jessie) donning the role of lead pair. The film has a very limited renowned cast line. The blood in de vein does never change, so as gautham menon's protagonist as a mechanical engineer. Karthik is a mechanical engineer aspiring to become a film director, falls in love with Jessei at first sight. The love, the confusion, intercast problems, the stability and the destiny of the couple are explicated by gautham in his own style of film making.

Simbu, known for his finger-tricks, thrifty punch dialogs, unimaginatively despairing stunt sequences has undergone an entirely different makeover and has become an exact gautham menon product. His expressions, ease in dialogue delivery, chemistry with trisha have all worked perfectly well and has fitted the shoes of a boy next door image. His leg shakes for the hossana number has to have a mention out here. With Maniratnam's film lined up next for simbu, we can expect a change in audience's attitude towards him. Trisha has done her job in a satisfactory manner with clarity in expression and no unwanted glamor. Ganesh as simbu's friend has done a considerable job and the conversation between them are realistic and thoroughly enjoyable. KS Ravikumar has played his real time character and at his best as always. All other characters just make enough contributions to the movie.

ARR numbers were top on charts before the movie could hit the silver screens. BGM in the scenes at kerala was scored in a congenially soothing manner which testifies the mellowness of kerala along with the hint of romance. Its always good to know that the academy award winning music composer has more under his kitty to make his fans ecstatic through his music dexterity. Camera by Manoj Paramahamsa has scripted every individual scene in a very aesthetic and shrewd manner. The camera work has always been an important attribute in any Gautham's movie and so as VTV an example.

Dialogues like "Gautham menon, oru padathaiye rendu varusham edupaaru", "Avan Avan love'kaage america'ke poran, na kerala pogamaatena", makes the audience burst into realistic online humor. The only blemish one could consider about the movie would be its second half which was on the lengthier side which took its own time to move on and tests the forbearance of the beholders. Nevertheless, VTV is enjoyable and one can feel the authentic emotions of love and pain very patiently.

Bottom line: A simple love story dealt with a dramatically simple and aesthetic screenplay with a visual treat.
