Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaayaa(shortly "VTV")created a big buzz before its release but once it was released some of the audiences were pretty much disappointed by it but certain audiences like me or in my age group(20-25) loved the movie so much. The fact that it was typically a Gautham Vasudev Menon film and so i went in to the theater not expecting a big "Mass" opening song and lengthy dialogues to boast the hero's image but a decent reality film with excellent cinematography(Hats off Manoj Paramahamsa) and beautiful songs("Oscar Winner" A.R.Rahman Rocks!). I wasn't disappointed at all and i had a pretty good time observing the chemistry between Karthik(A Good-Looking Smart Silambarasan worth his title of "Young Superstar")and Jesse(A Ravishing Trisha)and what are all the phases they go through throughout the entire movie till the climax.
I was deeply moved by the situations that the lead are put to that tests their strength of love rather vaguely. Songs are the biggest plus for the movie and with A.R.R at the helm you can't expect anything less than a riveting music and an excellent BGM. A.R.R. shines in both these with his usual trademark. Whoever says whatever about the movie nobody can take back that VTV is indeed a different attempt in modern day Love stories. Want to know why? Just go for it! You'll enjoy the most if you see this with your lover by your side!

I can very well vouch that movie is one of such kind that will stay in one's heart forever... This is one such a simple/clean/decent love story that can happen in anyone's life... And that makes the movie stay close to one's heart... Gautham has splendidly done the screenplay... One can taste the sweetness/bitterness of love while ht movie flows...
The actors, Simbu and Trisha.... My god, they haven't acted, but lived as Karthik, Jessie... Such a brilliant performance...
The director concentrated more on the story, story and nothing but story... A simple, but a powerful one... Though there are very few locations, the camera man caught it well...
On the whole, it's a nice movie to be enjoyed...

What a big expectation for this movie.......I think the BIGGEST for a romantic flick. 15 minutes in to the movie I thought this is the landmark one not only for the crew but also for the Tamil film industry. ohhh...is there any magic Gautham is spelling on his actresses? I promise by heart, I have never seen Trisha more beautiful than this.
Let us get in to the first half...
I can boldly say this is the best chemistry between the lead pair in the decade (not to forget alaipayudhe).What beautiful dialogues......same like Mani Ratnam......
And now I know why he chose Rahman for the music. It indeed forms the backbone of the movie. what a classical BG score.....
Gautham is getting bigger with his movies.The main plus for his movies is that the critics have never been able to find out a point to make him down.
And what a screenplay by this guy (though nobody is surprised here because even his Pachaikili Muthucharam which was less than impressive @ the BO,had a great screenplay)
The second part of the movie now
I don't think any different theme about love can be explored at this time as everything has already been made. So Gautham plays with the age old theme of boy meets girl of different religion and
falls in love and the girl fearing about their parents' acceptance. But of course he has put his midas touch at it. And it his hard at this stage of Tamil cinema to give out an out andout romantic flick and that too with the lead pair occupying around 90% of the screen space.
The only flip for this movie is the slow pace at this part of the movie. The dialogues between the lead pair do tell me that he is the next one to take the mantle of Mani sir..... And all of us know that it is not only in romance he is good at but can do action flicks too like KK & VV.....Just the same way as Mani does.... But not a coincidence they both are at their best at romance....
And finally the climax
Any directors ability is fully answered only by the way he does his climax....and Gautham will get my maximum points for this climax...he does raise everybodys eyebrows after the climax...........Particularly this climax will stay in our minds for a long time to come..... this too comes the same way as Mani Ratnams

i watched the movie five times it is really one of the best ever romantic movie ever made in Tamil.
there are lot of scenes in which every one could relate to themselves.
everything in the movie is best.story,screenplay are good,music excellent,cinematography good,acting is also good,
so everything is done well in this movie,which makes the audience watch it again and again.
the movie looks like as if it is based on a true story
but only the climax twist may be inspired from annie hall...
trisha's characterization is brilliant....
simbu gives his best till date..
best work from gautham menon...
