1st movie of 2009 Vaaranam Ayiram


First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
May this year u get all the fame,money and happiness that u want!!!!
Now my first movie in 2009....Im very glad that my movie partner abhi is back on his own feet(yeah he had an accident and injured his toe)and to celebrate his wellness we decided to watch a movie.Now we always watch a bad movie with bad reviews so that we can have a nice laugh but i think time had different plans for us!!!
Yeah first we had our respective partners accompany us to the movie.So Shilpa and Somni also came along!!!I was thrilled becoz for me more the people more the fun!!!!
Okie now the second thing is suddenly yesterday PVR online booking just did not take any bookings which forced abhi and shilpa to go to PVR early and buy tickets from the counter for the movie Haage summane...but it was all SOLD OUT ( It was very astonishing coz its supposed to be a crappy movie according to all the reviews ) and then we finally decided to watch Vaaranam Ayiram!!!(Which by the way had also got some really bad reviews)
Abhi agreed coz there was Ramya in the movie and i wanted to watch coz Suriya was in the movie...somni and shilpa just wanted to watch some movie for timepass!!So we went to Europa (First time ) and started off with the movie [The best part i watched the promos for the very first time coz i was not late this time heheheh :-) ]
It started off with Surya (sorry suriya) as a old man...i was surprised it was him but then it was REALLY HIM!!!Thats when i knew i was in for a good movie....It was a long movie in the first part..atleast thats how it felt like....i really liked it coz the movie had a lot of Suriya in the first part and the story was gripping every moment...After the interval Ramya was introduced and thats when i realised that she was a mere second lead in the movie with a song and some 10 scenes....Man she was completely wasted in the movie (Though abhi would not agree im sure of that...hehehehehe..she has completely become boyzone material now!!!!)...anyways as usual im not gonna tell u the story!!!But its one movie that no one should miss...if u dont understand the language please take a translator with u and watch it!!!Its one superb movie with great acting!!!Its about a dad and son..and how fathers are an inspiration to children and what children might become if their parents will trust them!!!
The things to watch out in the movie :
1.Suriya's double acting - One surya is great so u can think wat can happen with two two surya's :-).Its like a double bonanza
2.The small details that they have taken care.It has a lot of retro stuff and flashback.And everything is done absolutely right.Including the marks of hand on the cheek of Surya after he got slapped by a goonda.
3.The costumes that all the actors have worn just to show the time.Its simply amazing and it brings back all the old memories trust me!!!
4.The beautiful way that they have potrayed love and romance and lust (Yeah yeah this is just for the girls!!!)
5.The clothes that Sameera Reddy has worn....she looks really good wearing both Indian and western clothes.
6.Beautiful locales and very nice music (also keeping in ming whether its in the present or the past)
7.The effects of smoking drinking and drugs (which is the most important message in the movie)
8.And finally how actors should cry in the movie.Surya can make anyone cry(including me)-Some actors overact and it makes them look so bad on screen....but trust me surya does it so well it can give all the good actors in our country a run for their tissues...sorry their money :-)
Okie the bad things :
1.Ramya is a complete waste in the movie.She has absolutely no role to play.OK ok thats kinda bad...coz i was expecting her as a herione of the movie.
2.Simran's acting was so good and agian i was expecting a little bit more (A little selfish i know).
3.The editing in the second half is really really really bad!!!They just cut so abruptly....its very sad.
Thats all the bad points i can think about.I know a lot of fanatics will start writing bad comments because its a Tamil movie...so let me tell something to all those people...my writing is not for people like u who differentiate languages so dont even think about commenting on this!!!!
And all my friends...please feel free to write anything u want!!!
In a way i was very very glad that i did not get tickets for Haage sumanne...Thanx PVR for having a bad online booking website!!!!
Until my next movie this is Pallavi saying Barla!!!!

hi this is abhi !
0. Iam back after my toe injury! RAB NE diya thaa toe injury so that i miss RAB NE BANA DI JODI.
1.Hey ya.. first of all thanks to PVR booking website yesterday was faulty. ICICI gateway failure :P
2.You were not late bcoz you thought the show wud start much earlier for haage summane.. and if at all, i had got tickets for that movie, you would have been 45 mins late :D !lolz
3. Ya SURYA was fantastic... his styles as
-drug addtict,
-soldier
-warrior
-school boy
-college boy
-young man
-his father's young age role
- his father's old age role
- his father's death time role
its just not DOUBLE ACTING friends! he has done an amazing job
4. Ramya has no role :( iam also disappointed... Ramya's TALENT and BEAUTY shud be explored more! Ramya is the BEST !
5. Thanks pallavi for celebrating my TOE back to normal, with SOM too :)

First of all, I have to tell that the review is written neatly. Well done :)

I do agree with you pallavi that I do not like differentiating languages. Good movies in any language needs appreciation.

I also liked the movie a lot. Awesome acting by Suriya (looks amazing too, i am telling this though I am a big fan of Vikram). Simran looks gorgeous (even sameera reddy).

Everyone should watch this movie atleast once :)

ramyage olle role kottilla antha keli bejar aythu..... *sad*

Unknown said...

Hmm nice review BTW (I got the habit of writing this 'nice review' stuff in your every reviews :D)


I wonder you are indirectly criticizing SRK for NOT crying properly, you know as many Critics does..(8.And finally how actors should cry in the movie.Surya can make anyone cry(including me)-Some actors overact and it makes them look so bad on screen....) :D lol...

You did not write about Sameera Reddy's Acting and Presence, I think she has done well, she is looking Gorgeous too...and evergreen Simran :P She Rocks...

Good, you watched Nice movie at the start of the Year...
It says that you will watch Nice Movies all along the Year ;-)

Cheers,
Vijay

shilpa's comment speaks about sameera reddy..
read it :D

Sunil Kosuru said...

I did see the telugu version of it nearly a month back in some movie website
Father son relation is portrayed well
but a bit illogical, whn his parents encourage him to go in search of sameera to US.
and against the natures logic of Oedipus complex

Abhi

In Shilpa's comments, there is NO mention of Sameera :o

Abhishek said...

There is a mention in brackets vijay ! :D

Hi... Happy New Year.. I have downloaded this movie with subtitles.. I will surely watch it.. Rajiv Menon's movies are always engrossing like kandukondain kandukondain or minsara kanavu.. I rarely watch Tamil movies because I dont find time to watch.. But if it gets a review like this how can i stop myself from seeing this?? Will see this shortly..

Unknown said...

I have mentioned vijay... Her acting is good and she looks too good :)

Unknown said...
