Varanam Aayiram

I was waiting for this movie so much that I felt so bad I cudn't get tickets for the first day first show. So came early from office and booked the 8.45 show.

The movie starts with a sad note but the way the story moves from then on is just so good.. It’s an amazing feel good kinda movie and just when u think it’s  going to make you feel that way all the way…. BHOOOOM!!!! Tragedy strikes… And then just when u think Surya’s going to come out of it, he suddenly goes down, goes deep down….

The movie then shifts to thriller mode when Surya is on the path of self realization and yet another little flower blooms in his heart and this time he holds on to it… The movie ends in the same way as it starts, on a sad note.. but you come out feeling you’ve just seen a really really good movie… Surya’s is just too good… and Simran… amazing.. She’s done 10 times better than “Kannathil muthamitaal”.  Songs were pretty ok but not great… probably will be better if I hear it a couple of times..  The attention to detail was very good.. Though there were a few questionable logic, the vehicles, surroundings etc of 30 years back flashback was well looked into… Yet another movie where the hero tries too hard dance… Dance is not Surya’s strength. But he’s really tried hard in this movie… Even the first heroine was not a good dancer.. But looked perfect fit for a typical Engg topper doing her MS in US.

I was so impressed by the movie that I wanted to do something different for the review…

So here’s a timeline graph….

It's a feel good factor graph.. it's ok if it goes down... for example sethu'la the feel good factor will be -ve for the whole second half.. doesn't mean it's not a good movie..

Perfect review..just think tht Surya's frnds good have acted better cos seems they keep smiling in many serious scenes... As always Surya n Simran were good .. the new face has done a good job....
