Vinnaithandi varuvaaya is just another Gautham menon film you just like to watch. No matter what the story is, what the climax is...the film gives a beautiful watching experience when you are in movie hall.
About story? I dont thing we can find anything novel in a love story, romance, and chemistry between a girl and boy. Just the same first meeting, falling in love, expressing and suppressing the love.....all those things we have seen in many films in all languages like aniyathipravu, alaipayuthe etc.
Here also same happens. Situations and back ground only differs. But sure, we will fall in this love. The charm, the background music, the presentation etc makes this a completely enjoyable film.
Chimbu is here as Karthik, an aspirant film director,who has completed his engineering and trying a chance to find an opening into film world. One fine day he finds an angel coming towards his gate and falls in love with her on first sight. That was his house owner's (Babu antony) daughter Jessie, who is staying in the upper floor of his house. He realises that she is an year older to him, a christian girl, malayalee etc which would cause problems if he loves her. But is firm in his love and after some days effort, he tells his love to her. He was not lucky enough to get a positive reply then and follows to Alapuzha (her native place in Kerala). There during their Kerala trip, something works out..Is it love or friendship? Can karthik convince Jessie?? That s what Gautham Menon tries to tell in his own way through
rest of the film....
Chimbu....he should be the first person we should discuss about...Amazing change! Actually i have not seen his early movies in full..(have seenjust songs, clippings only and that too were irritating...) And now , he has become an actor and has delivered a controlled and matured performance.
Trisha was also equally good. She was perfect for that role. Both of them had a good on screen chemisty too.
I dont think Babu Antony was fit for the role given to him in the film, any way he was OK. Special appearance scenes by Naga Chaithanya,
Samantha and KS ravikumar were also good. (I personally feels that Naga is not fit for the hero character in the telugu version of this film)
The way Gautham menon handled the story was beautiful. Till interval, he was trying to show the development of the love story. (Which was an usual
track, still he was able keep viewers engaged). Kerala sequences were good. But the second half lacks the same momentum or smoothness which the first half had. As usual, we can find lot of english dialogues in the film.
There are two fight scenes in the film, which is totally different from usual Chimbu movie.
Cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa was marvelous. Kerala looks more beautiful his frames.
I dont think it is necessary to tell about AR Rahman's music and background score. Truely superb.!
Song picturisation was marvelous.
Totally, VTV is a lovely experience to watch. I am quoting the heroine's words in the climax to describe this work--"it is a simple , feel good movie", eventhough I have different opinion about the climax twist.
