Surya the beast of acting
Vaaranam aayiram is one of the best cult flim in Indian cinema. It is not a flim it is an experience. Every youngsters should watch this movie. Life is very beautiful. This flim proves that. My rating 10/10..
A Substantial Movie with All the Right Elements
This movie was well made with nice melodious songs. What I really like about this movie was that it showed how fathers are important as well. Most movies always talk about mother as the motivation and somehow portray the dad as military style attitude or just thrown in for show but this movie was all about a dad's motivation, a dad who was living and compassionate. As for the actors: They really created magic with this movie. Surya was amazing. He really dug into the characters' role equally. His expressions and flawless Hindi and Tamil made this movie very enjoyable as well as his dual role. His attitude kept changing so it held the audience's eyes. Sameera Reddy was also wonderful. Despite the limited screen time, she really made a strong impact. Simran was also great. It has been a long time since I have seen her and her presence made the movie pleasant. Divya Spandana was not bad at all. I felt that she was thrown in but there needed to be something to make the movie going. The songs were very nice and melodious. Although it was not very fast paced, the creative sounds made it worthwhile. Only negative thought: I really wished that there were subtitles so that we could understand what Hindi words were spoken. Overall, this movie had a little bit of everything: love, violence, adventure, music and it is a definite must watch.
Eternity and Divinity
"Whatever happens life has to go onΒ
" an important phrase in the film Vaaram Aayiram written and directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. The film is about a Father- Son relationship where Suriya (the protagonist) organize all his memories at the moment when he is on a mission (an army mission) while he heard about the demise of his father. Suriya went back through the times which he had spent with his father. It also welcomes you into the world of love; the eternity and divinity of that wonderful feeling.
A Touching and Inspiring Film
From the first scene to the very last bit, everything was well crafted in excellence. The real magic in this movie is definitely Surya's acting. At first I was wondering why is he casted again as a double role acting, he has done that several times like the one in Vel. However, I was amazed at his abilities in creating distinctive traits to each of these character; the father and son. You would find his fatherly acting is similar to the late Raghuvaran, another great actor. Despite being involved in two roles, he managed to create different personalities as he grew up as a child to adulthood. In short, you don't need to create 10 characters (rings the bell) to portray your talents in acting, the important things is to be the role itself and how the audiences are impacted.
The songs are superb. Plainly one of Harris Jeyaraj's classics after Minnale. It is a disappointment that Gautham and Harris have ended their ties, as their duo seem to come up with masterpieces. Not forgetting cinematography, you don't get much of boring static shots; it's either dramatic, or simply keeps you wanting to know more about the next scene.
Though a little draggy ( the flaw ) , overall this a Tamil movie you shouldn't miss. Every single character has brought out their role well, Simran as Surya's mum played her character too neatly and well, leaving you praising her performance at the end of the movie.
After watching this movie, it won't really leave you for a few days most a week. That much impact.
Watch it, you may find the usual Tamil movie clichΓ©s, but it will leave you satisfied as you step out the theater or living room.

13. MOST IMPORTANT FATHER - SON DUO RELATIONSHIP
I have seen a number of movies, but none of them is like this one. Am sure, none of this decade or upcoming movies could be like this one. Hope, this movie exists forever. Watching this movie is like finding 'The Best In Quintillion'.
Story writer has shown an entire life story of Surya and Krishnan in a single movie. This movie is dedicated to every father son duo.
Story beautifully depicts an ideal relationship between father and son. I can feel my dad's presence in Krishnan's role. Love you Dad π.
Background music is so charming, it drags feelings out of us.
