    A must watch....

    First of all this movie is a remake from Telugu movie Vedam. Well when i watched the original version i realized the story is quite interesting and emotional so i've decided to watch Vaanam and for my surprise the story line and all the loop holes were improved. Each of the character in the movie lives up to the expectation and every character has a message to display which is an important criteria for a movie goer like me. Thus the music was a well done task by Yuvan Shankar Raja not only by giving a chart buster single, yet the song Vaanam sung by himself was exceptionally woven brilliantly together with the story line. As the plot shapes together it draws more and more interest to know what will happen next.The acting of star cast such as Str,Barath,Anushka, Saranya, Prakash Raj, VTV Ganesh and Santhanam was brilliant and subtle and authentic. The climax was brilliant and it will touch your soul and will make you think . The ending of the movie is not an ending it's more to the beginning of a new life. Vaanam is not a movie is an experience with deep message. Live your life by giving others a life to live. A well done by Krish and crew.. Two Thumbs Up..

    Not bad at all!

    Vaaman, aka SKY is not your usual ROM- com flick, that gives you nothing other than mental satisfaction. It all pans out in the last 30 minutes, where the film really stands out unique. Vedham did not satisfy me tat much, but d Tamil version is better. . . First the appreciation goes to director Krish. . . And not to forget Ganesh and Santanam with their humors working quite a few wonders. . . . Great work by the entire cast, with STR and Anushka being brilliant along with Prakash Raj. . . Guided by some decent camera works and decent background score. The title song Vaanam and No Money remain chart busters, will keep you happy and contented throughout! A must watch . . .

    Vaanam - A pot of human emotions

    People has been anticipating the release of this film since it was launched and here it is.In short, it is a mixture of human emotions. A remake of the 2010 Telugu hit, Vedam and directed by Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi who directed the original as well. The film was eagerly anticipated because two reasons which are, an ensemble starcast which is a rarity in Tamil cinema and Yuvan's music.

    Vaanam is STR's first movie after the success of the romantic flick Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya. As Cable Raja, he played his role as a slum dweller to perfection. This proves he can really play varied roles. Bharath played the role of a budding rockstar well. His body language and dialogues suits him perfectly while Vega was adequate in her role as Bharath's companion.Anushka reprised her role from the original and she did a good job here as well. Like Anushka, Saranya also reprised her role from the original. As a poor weaver, she excels in her role. Her body language and dialogue delivery is brilliant.Prakashraj as usual, played his role with finesse. This time, he played the role of a discriminated Muslim with sheer excellence. Santhanam was good as STR's sidekick. He impresses with his usual comic antics alongside VTV Ganesh as well. Debutant Jasmin Bhasin performed relatively good and fills the requirements of her character. Hats off to her for dubbing in her own voice. An impressive attempt.

    One of the highlights of the film is Yuvan Shankar Raja's music. YSR has done a wonderful job. The film's BGM suits the mood of the film well but it is kinda loud in certain parts of the film. Evandi Unna Pethan is definitely the one of the best songs along with No Money No Honey. Both songs were well-choreographed and STR's dance moves are mesmerising.

    Nirav Shah's cinematography is excellent as usual. The colour tone suits the scenes perfectly although the angles were a bit dizzying in certain scenes. The songs were well picturized.

    Stunts by Silva is commendable and apt for the action scenes. Anthony's editing is crisp and the film does not drag.

    Vaanam is a potpourri of emotions and the performance of the cast is excellent plus it does come with a message for all. A different treat for movie buffs and I can easily say that it is one of the best movies to come out of the Tamil cinema industry.

    Wondered by the relevancy of this movie in 2024

    This movie was released in 2011 , its 2024 now and pathetic humans are still the same ..the movie is so relevant to the current condition of our world.. the movie portrays a world of selfish inhuman human beings who keep on losing human qualities.. i know this is a remake of a telugu movie , but still this is so underrated.. i remember watching this movie on Tv when i was a kid.. my mom was watching this, so i watched it along with her.. now i watched it again and now i understand this movie.. nowadays noone watches tv.. missing those old memories and timeline.. We used to watch Tv especially on sundays for the special movies... I'm from kerala and me and my mom loved movies regardless of the language... Now everythings changed.. humans have changed a lot.. no more TV , no more good memories to reminis...
