Vaaranam Aayiram movies story
| Varanam Aayiram - Memoirs of a heart with abounding memories |
 |
 The film designed as a tribute to Gautham Vasudev Menon's father comes across as emotions spelt out in a reserved manner and thereby proves to be a tame affair. One can understand the director's angst at losing a parent, and trying to make a film about the loss, but then the man's (father) enigma never takes center stage throughout the film. Probably the biggest drawback of the film. The narration of the film has been designed to follow a 'classic approach'. Unfortunately, all the ingredients that go into the making of a classic are missing thereby making the screenplay stagnate at times to irritable proportions. All films that have been successful in being called classics portray enduring human emotions that can be related with instantaneously. Gautham has most definitely missed the plot with 'Varanam Aayiram' giving more emphasis to incidents rather than connecting them well. The story follows the lead characters (the protagonist and his father) through decades. Much effort has been taken to bring out authenticity to the 'period' effect which is praiseworthy. The story starts off with a senior citizen Krishna (Suriya) getting his hair trimmed in a saloon only to die after reaching home. The news is conveyed to his son, Major Suriya (Suriya) who is part of a rescue mission. With gritty determination, the young man declares he wants to go ahead with the mission. But the son in him overwhelms the Major that he is and events of his life unfold as flashes in his mind. What a fantastic dad he had had! The story is narrated through montage sequences – the time his father had met his mother in college (as told to him by his mother) and the innovative way he had made known his love for her – his birth and the way he had always looked up to his dad as a real hero – his sister's birth and the happy little family that they were – his peek at adolescence – his misadventures and the moment he was engulfed by the electric sensation of love etc.  Suriya's adolescent days come across as a breath of fresh air. The antiques he indulges in once he sees Megna (Sameera Reddy) on a night train and his train of thought that goes on in his mind to woo her, gets across to the audience very well. After the interesting introduction, the determined Suriya goes to her house to see her. Megna is surprised but then is not convinced that his love for her is true. She reveals her plans to study in America and her preparations to leave in a week's time. The happy-go-lucky Suriya does some business and using the gift of being a good guitarist makes money. And then he is off to America, not for a career, not for studies but to win his girl's heart and marry her. They do meet in America and the interesting character that he is wins Megna's heart. An unfortunate incident happens and Megna dies. A reckless Suriya then starts smoking, drinking and becomes a horrible drug addict. His parents take care of him through these torrid times. His parents even want him to go away somewhere to find himself and come back as the person that he really is. Suriya walks the streets of Kashmir and Delhi and even indulges in daring endeavors like rescuing a kidnapped child. Then the military bug bites him and he joins the armed forces. It is about this time that the director has made maximum usage of his good looks and the famous six-pack ab. After six years in the armed forces, he becomes a major and also has loving thoughts of a girl (Priya played by Divya Spandana) he had known for a long time but had really not given any kind of attention to. Does time wither away the association they had had?  The flashes of reminiscence stops and reality dawns….he is part of the rescue mission now, fighting terrorists…. The earthly presence of his father might have gone away forever….but will always have a home in his heart….probably thoughts that Gautham Vasudev Menon has…. Suriya the actor rocks throughout. The variety of emotions he has portrayed is very good and a strong mention has to be made about his good looks and charm. He looks unbelievably like a person in his early twenties in some sequences that require him to be so. Something very few actors can really do. Harris Jayaraj has rendered a beautiful set of songs with this film. The Background score is good in patches and compliments the brilliant cinematography by Rathnavelu. The cinematographer needs special mention for a refreshing tone which he has infused especially in the youthful sequences. Sameera Reddy has been casual and fits the role aptly. Simran has garnered all her experience and does justice. Divya Spandana with her girl-next-door looks performs a role that lightens up a depressed protagonist with good effect. One gets the feeling Gautham could have used all of Suriya's efforts with a better narration AND with all-round emotions to connect all the incidents in the script which would have made it more interesting.

Mounam Pesiyadhe
Surya’s 11th movie was Mounam Pesiyadhe and the movie was released on December 14th 2002. The movie stars Surya, Trisha while introducing Nandha and Mahaa. The movie was directed and produced by Ameer. The music for the film was scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja and it turned out be a hit. The movie was well received by the critics and by fans, but the Box Office collections of the movie turned out to be an average one.
Mounam Pesiyadhe Movie Story:
Surya is a restaurant owner and he dislikes the idea of young couples flirting with each other in the name of “love”. His close friend Nanda, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He introduces himself as an employed bachelor to every girl he meets on the road.
Nanda falls in love with a young girl (Maha). Unfortunately, Nanda’s marriage is arranged with his cousin Trisha. Neither Nanda nor Trisha is interested in the proposal. When Surya talks to Trisha on behalf of Nanda and explains to her that his friend is in love with someone else, Trisha tells Surya that she too is not interested in marrying Nanda. She even says that her dream is to marry someone like Surya.
Surya’s disbelief in love fades out after meeting Trisha. He falls in love with her. But, there is an interesting twist in the movie and it is not the usual climax you might expect to see.

You can leave behind memories of your first love in a diary, but someday it will pop-up. These candid memories will continue to haunt you even after marriage, and you can’t run away from them. Debutant director Krishna’s Sillunu Oru Kadhal, will strike a chord with anyone who has experienced the bitter-sweet ravages of romance.
The film opens with the introductory scenes of Kundavi, a small town girl, daughter of a village chieftain in Ambasamudram.Little Kundavi grows up to be a naughty college girl (Jyothika), who thinks that only love marriages can be successful. But her parent’s get her married off to Gautham (Surya), an engineer from the city.
Cut to 6 years later - Gautham and Kundavi, along with their 5-year-old daughter Aishu live in Mumbai, where they work. They are a picture perfect family and their life is filled with happiness....till, one day, Kundavi comes across Gautham’s old diary, by chance when he is on a business trip to New York.
The diary reveals Gautham’s past- He is a dude in an Engineering college in Coimbatore where he meets Aishwarya (Bhoomika), the demure and soft-spoken daughter of a local MP & businessman. It is love at first sight for Gautham and after a while Aishu also reciprocates(!). They decide to get married at the registrar's office but after Gautham ties the thali, Aishu’s dad and his men beat him up and take his daughter away!
A shell-shocked Kundavi puts on a brave face after Gautham arrives, and her next mission is to see that Gautham’s wish “to live at least one day with Aishu” comes true. She finds Aishu, who is completely changed now, as she lives in Australia and considers Gautham as her husband. Kundavi brings her home and tells her husband that he is “allowed” to spend a day with Aishu, whom he loves more than anything else in the world! So what happens during that one day allotted by Kundavi to her husband and his lover?
With a title like Sillunu Oru Kadhal, we expect a tangy, romantic film, but strangely there isn’t enough spice in the tale of Gautham, Kundavi and Aishu. Krishna takes the beaten track of loyalty, family values and bonding. He does not dare to be different at a time when “bold subjects" are being increasingly sought after!
There are two major faults in Krishna’s script.One, is the character of Gautham, whose decision to marry Kundavi and lead a happy life does not seem justified.It is weird that he doesn't bother to enquire about Aishu, his true love. Secondly which wife in the world will react to a situation like what Kundavi had to face? It just seems far fetched.Also, On the downside, Vadivelu & gang coming to Mumbai(Kundavi's family)scenes were absolutely unjustified and does not evoke any laughter.It is Santhanam who scores over Vadivelu this time.
It is the music of A.R.Rahman that elevates the tempo and adds life to the movie. The songs are great, but they could have been picturised a little more aesthetically, especially the “Maja Maja….” song & “New York Nagaram…” , which was shot in Switzerland! The camera of R.D.Rajasekhar, especially in the “Kummi Adi…” song, shot in Rajamundry (passed off as Ambasamudram) is eye catching. The paddy fields, Sunflower gardens in full bloom, rivers and lush greenery are a visual treat!
Jyothika is the pivot around which the story moves, and she is in top form, especially in the intimate scenes with her fiancée. She embodies the happy and later the brooding wife to perfection. Surya pitches in with yet another fantastic performance, be it the responsible husband and father, or the cool dude at college. His composure, deadpan humour and tears in the climax are tangible and real, giving it heartrwarming immediacy.The little daughter of the couple is cute, though she is over smart at times. Bhoomika looks anameic and tries her level best to add life to her character.But pray, why was Sukanya seen in that silly role?
But, the most irritating feature of SOK is the brazen plugs for products. Never before, in Indian cinema have there been so many in-film advertisement placements – Maruti Swift, Pepsi, TVS Star, Boost, Aircel, Maggi, Head & Shoulders!! Editor Antony could have made the film crisper as it is too long (2 hrs 50 min) and the film drags in the second half.
Nevertheless, go and watch the film for all the hype and hoopla surrounding

Sachin movies
| Sachein - Will it be a sixer? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 02, 2005] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After a series of movies playing the angry young man, Vijay returns to  romance in Sachin, a movie directed by debutant John (son of veteran director Mahendran). A mega-budget film, Sachin stars Genelia D'Souza, the girl who made her debut as Harini in Boys and sex siren Bipasha Basu trying her luck in Kollywood for the first time. In the movie, Vijay plays a carefree youth who does everything according to his wish. A fashion technology student, he comes across Genelia in the campus and falls in love with her. Bipasha Basu plays a lecturer in the movie. She does perform an item number too in the movie. A major portion of the movie was shot in Ooty and the rest in Campa Cola sets in Chennai. A couple of songs are being shot in Iceland and Switzerland. John says, "it is an interesting campus love story with Vijay playing a character never attempted before. Interestingly, a major portion of the movie has been shot using a soft lens. It means all scenes would have a rainy or a cloudy backdrop." In some sense, it will be reminiscent of the days of John's father Mahendran who made soft-focus, dew-kissed emotional drama like Mullum Malarum, Uthiripookal and Nenjathaiy Killathe. For Vijay it is a return to the days of Kadhalukuu Mariadhai. And obviously he has been enjoying every minute of it. The music is by Devi Sri Prasad, and he knows the pulse of the modern generation very well. Producer Kalaipuli Thanu has spent a huge sum to complete the movie. The movie will be released on 14 April along with the likes of Rajni's Chandramukhi and Kamal Haasan's Mumbai Express. The name Sachin has also evoked huge expectations. Apparently, the hero's name in the film is Sachin. Now the question is will this Sachin hit a sixer at the box office.
