Vaaranam Aayiram

            Vaaranam Aayiram(VA)..... guess its been a much awaited movie. It had Gautham Menon , Harris Jeyaraj and of course Suriya :). This combo reminded everyone of "Kaakha Kaakha" and everyone was awaiting the release of VA eagerly. When it was made known that Simran was making a come back , I remember many of my friends telling me that they wanted to see the movie coz of her :)

Music:

          The release kept getting delayed and it was finally released on Nov 14. The music already had rave reviews and the songs catching everyones attention made me also sit up as i did really like the music. But like everytime Harris Jeyaraj composes music there is atleast one song which when heard made me think i have already heard it somewhere. I prefer melodious music any day and so i liked 

"Nenjukul Peindhidum" and "Annal Melae". "Oh Shanthi" also made an impression on me and SPB Charan's voice made me remember SPB himself :). Surprisingly "Annal Melae" has been sung by Sudha Raghunath and not by Bombay Jayshree and it took me some time to identify the singer :). Shud say her voice is totally different in this song. Though the other songs are good these are my all time favs :)

Movie:

        Let me tell you , my hubby kept telling me...."the more u expect from a movie , its definitely bound to fail" and I would say the movie definitely did not meet my expectations.

        I guess the relationship between a father and Son has not been dealt with that very often and hence it did make a change.But the fact remains that the father forgot all about his daughter :( The change in between the flashbacks and the current day reminded me of Mani Ratnam's "Alaipayuthey" , the only difference being that the black and white to colour scenes were missing :)

       Simran , Samira and Divya..... man i love Simran the most .... she did suit the role of a Mom well i guess. But then i did not understand the need for the dialogues in English... fine as long as someone knows the language. But wat abt ppl who do not know English? Any tamil movie is dependent on the Masses and so i guess this would not meet the expectations of the common people in TamilNadu. Samira & Divya were also ok i guess.

      Surya , Simran...... Simran has a hair style that reminds one of  the yesteryear heroines. But then the other college mates of Simran have a normal hairstyle :)... guess they forgot all abt the other ladies :) Dad Surya following Simran , leaving a msg with the librarian and later with others was quite cute :) and i did enjoi them. Guess the romantic streak did continue with the son , with the scene at the US Consulate making one laugh. 

      And how did a dad who was so close to his son not notice that his son was doing drugs until it reached a boiling point? Guess i can still keep asking questions.......... and it will never end :)

      My friend told me..."I had a feeling that i was watching 2 different movies" and once i saw the movie i have to say i felt the same.

      Share your ideas on the movie folks ............. waiting to hear from you.
