Vanakkam Chennai

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.

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.

For a story that is predictable and has nothing new, Vanakkam Chennai manages to keep the viewer occupied. I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Everyone on screen have done their part well except maybe for Shiva - who wasn't that bad either. Priya Anand sizzles and Santhanam yet again delivers a strong performance. Aniruth has done a fair job and so has Kiruthiga, the director. The movie starts off briskly and maintains its pace throughout the first half, but drags on towards the latter part and finishes with the usual template that we have seen time and again.

Overall, a very decent effort and worth the watch.

Shiva,Priya Anand This romantic comedy narrates the story of a couple with different points of view on most matters; they fall in love and marry, but will they be able to establish harmony or will their relationship turn sour?

I watched 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.
