Finally a good movie played by Shiva. Though he tried a lot , he still has his flaws on romance scenes, while on comedy scenes he is much better. It is too hard to believe that the director is a débutant, lead actress Priya Anand also done her part very well. The movie has nice cliché, smooth story-line and makes it a perfect romantic-comedy movie. The movie starts as a comedy genre from the beginning and comedy actor Santhanam too joins the fun from the end of first half , while the movie progresses the genre turns towards romance. The main strength of the movie is the energetic background by Anirudh, with the song track of "Oh Penne" is the fans favorite and has made already a huge impact.
Vanakkam Chennai excels as a breezy, feel good romantic comedy infused with colorful visuals and chart topping tunes. Its comfort watch appeal, anchored by gentle chemistry and lighthearted fun, makes it a pleasant time especially for music lovers and rom com enthusiasts. But viewers seeking narrative depth, surprise elements, or emotional intensity may find it charming yet forgettable. A solid debut, predictable but polished, fun without overreaching.

Anirudh delivered some-of his best work in this movie(personal opinion about his songs).
Every song was put up well with the scene in tact.
The story line was good and funny, Priya Anand & Shiva did a really good Job. A simple movie with a simple story.
Vanakkam Chennai is proof that even the most predictable rom-com can feel fresh when it's sprinkled with charm, comedy, and a pinch of Tamil Nadu flavor. Shiva and Priya Anand play two strangers forced to share a flat due to a housing mix-up, and what follows is a rollercoaster of laughs, misunderstandings, and eventual romance. Spoiler alert: You know how it ends, but you won't mind getting there.
Shiva's impeccable comic timing is the movie's backbone, throwing in one-liners like they're free sambhar refills at a wedding. Priya Anand complements him perfectly with her blend of sass and sweetness. Meanwhile, Santhanam shows up occasionally to remind you why he's Tamil cinema's undisputed king of situational humor.
And then there's Anirudh Ravichander, who doesn't just deliver a soundtrack-he gives you a lifetime playlist. The BGM is pure magic, adding soul to every scene, whether it's a funny exchange or a heartfelt moment. "Ailasa Ailasa" is a certified earworm, and every other track is just chef's kiss. Honestly, if you don't leave this movie humming something, are you even alive?
The story might not be groundbreaking, but Vanakkam Chennai is like a warm cup of filter coffee on a rainy day: comforting, familiar, and absolutely delightful.
Giving 7/10. Come for the comedy, stay for the music, and leave with a goofy smile on your face. Also, Anirudh, we owe you one.
