Vanakkam Chennai is an average love story
Just now saw the Shiva-Santhanam-Priya Anand starrer "Vanakkam Chennai". Thought to write a review on this movie..
This is purely a love story laced with comedy (but comedy is less when compared to the other movies of Shiva-Santhanam Combo). Vanakkam Chennai has got some really great songs composed by Anirudh Ravichander (3 Fame)and a eye-catching cinematography by Richard M. Nathan.
Plot Shiva and Priya got bluffed by Santhanam in real estate (a flat) and forcefully they are living together in their same flat. Later on Shiva falls for Priya and seeks help from Santhanam to sort out his love.
(+)ves 1. Cinematography 2. Priya Anand 3. Shiva 4. Music
(-)ves 1. Wafer thin storyline (since most of the scenes are clichéd) 2. Slow Paced & Lengthy 3. Shiva
Well, the movie as I said earlier that its a romantic comedy with less comic scenes. It is very slow-paced and lengthy. Wafer thin storyline was adapted and it was convincingly directed by the débutante Krithika.. The movie was not at all boring even at this slow pace. Priya Anand looked ravishing in almost every scenes. Santhanam was not doing a comic role but he managed to do a serious role (with comedy). Shiva's performance was good but the transition as the romantic hero made him troubled in most of the scenes. His dance moves were pathetic in the songs. He needs to work more in his dance and his acting skills (especially in romance and doing serious roles).
Anirudh's music was an up- plus for the movie and his background score was really really good.. Especially when it comes to the romantic scenes. The songs were brilliantly picturized. Richard M. Nathan did a wonderful job with his camera.
All in whole it is a good movie. Will give a solid 7 for this movie.
