Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya Review

After a very long time , I went to a theater to watch a Tamil Movie , (the last movie I saw was BABA and I had taken a resolution of NOT watching a movie in theater !! ). This Theater is in Edison and its a completely Desi Theater, only Indian movies , Hindi , Telugu and Tamil.
Theater has Samosas , Masala Vada , Cardamom and Masala chai to name a few in the concession stand.
The actual screen was so small , it felt like watching a movie in a KPN travels bus from chennai to Bangalore !
After all the build up , the following are my views on the Movie

Story :
Boy meets a girl falls head over heels , girls father doesn't approve , what happens next ? The story can be written in one line , but the screenplay is the one which makes all the difference. The dialogues makes you chuckle ( when simbu asks Trisha "you could have gone to church in madras " !you have to see the movie to understand the context ).

Trisha looks good in certain angles ( but I was not able to see her Tattoo ! ) , she dresses up in saree most of the time and it really compliments her , also when she walks she has a duck feet and it sure looks funny when you look from behind. If we have to rub her makeup , it would take a day to look at her actual face. Certain scenes , particularly the ones in NYC , her makeup looks too clumsy. In some scenes , the dance between Trisha and simbu looks like a elder sister and a younger brother (remember the movie with Tabu and Abbas !! ) .


What I liked in the movie

1 ) Simbu has done a commendable job ( this was the first Simbu movie which I was watching on Theater! ) , none of his old mannerisms(his fingers were with him itself !! no more cracking etc and no punch dialogues).
2 ) ARR , I could not say anything bad , not only the music of the movie , the background score was also awesome (either the Mustafa Mustafa song in the middle , or the complete lengthy stretch during Simbu's search for Trisha in Kerala).
3 ) Camera, the camera has really played a vital role in the movie ,every song is a poem , particularly the song that was filmed in Italy and NYC. The boat which Simbu goes to meet Trisha's family , it has all the luxuries ( In all movies I only see a Apple Mac only !! ).

Things which I didn't like about the story

1 ) Trisha's character , very confused and in a complete disarray , she is not able to make a decision !! , she refuses marriage at the wee-end , and she dumps the guy , eventhough the guy comes back and says she will wait for her, once again she dumps him for someone else. Was she an opportunistic person just waiting for a better catch ?
2 ) The story goes in circles and it seemed like the director was confused on what to do with the characters after a while.
3 ) Trisha's voice(Chinmayi ! ) sounds too matured for her character, doesn't sync well with her.
4 ) The character of Ganesh , his voice is also very rough and it would have better if his voice was dubbed !!
5 ) I don't agree with the context , where a guy and girl have to be in the same field to have a successful life.


Overall its a perfect entertainer, don't expect much , but its a slow movie and may be a date movie.
