Arya's
Vasuvum
Saravananum
Onna
Padichavanga
(VSOP)
has
released
today
in
many
theatres.
Touted
as
a
romantic
comedy,
VSOP
had
some
reputation
behind
it
prior
to
its
release.
Has
the
movie
lived
up
to
its
notability?
Read
on
our
review
to
know.
VSOP
Plot:
As
the
title
of
the
film
suggests,
Arya
and
Santhanam
are
childhood
friends
and
the
entire
movie
revolves
around
them.
Life
is
fun
for
these
two
friends
until
Santhanam
decides
to
get
married.
Right
from
the
beginning
till
the
day
of
Santhanam's
marriage,
Arya
unleashes
his
funny
side
and
exposes
his
jovial
nature
which
is
regarded
disrespectful
by
Santhanam's
wife,
played
by
Bhanu.
After
their
marriage,
Bhanu
warns
Santhanam
of
dire
consequences
if
he
doesn't
sacrifice
his
friendship
for
her.
Without
any
other
option,
Santhanam
convinces
Arya
to
get
married,
hoping
that
his
marriage
would
deteriorate
their
friendship.
Arya
agrees
but
leaves
the
responsibility
of
finding
him
a
girl
as
beautiful
as
actress
Nayantara,
to
Santhanam.
Finally
he
meets
Tamannaah
and
decides
to
love
her.
But
even
after
numerous
attempts
to
woo
her
with
the
help
of
his
friend,
Tamannaah
doesn't
even
react
to
his
tactics
which
frustrates
Arya
to
the
core.
Finally,
he
gives
up
on
Tamannaah
and
decides
to
move
on.
Will
he
manage
to
get
Tamannaah
back
into
his
life?
What
happens
to
his
friendship
with
Santhanam?
These
questions
are
answered
with
abundance
of
comedy
for
which
director
M
Rajesh
is
known
for.
Performances:
As
expected,
the
entire
movie
depends
on
Arya
and
Santhanam.
While
one
can
say
they
have
delivered
what
is
required,
it
is
difficult
to
gauge
Arya's
performance
as
his
role
is
as
simple
as
it
can
get.
This
is
yet
another
M
Rajesh
movie
where
Santhanam
drives
the
entire
story
with
his
amazing
one
liners
and
body
language.
Bhanu
has
done
her
part
pretty
well
but
Tamannaah
has
gone
overboard
at
places
while
portraying
her
character.
Supporting
cast
which
includes
Karunakaran,
Vidyullekha
Raman
and
Swaminathan
add
solidity
to
the
film
that
lacks
a
fresh
script.
Vidyullekha's
role
has
its
prominence
which
has
worked
well
in
VSOP.
Technicalities:
Cameraman
Nirav
Shah
has
used
his
angles
pretty
well
to
elevate
some
ordinary
scenes.
His
usage
of
colors
stand
out
throughout
the
movie.
Background
score
by
Imman
is
catchy
and
has
worked
out
well
in
Vasuvum
Saravananum
Onna
Padichavanga.
Vivek
Harshan's
editing
needs
a
special
mention
as
he
has
managed
to
stitch
together
pieces
to
make
the
film
as
interesting
as
he
possibly
could.
While
the
first
half
is
breezy
and
makes
you
genuinely
laugh,
its
second
counter
part
gets
a
little
edgy
as
it
largely
reminds
you
of
Rajesh's
previous
movies.
Having
said
that,
VSOP
is
definitely
better
than
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja.
Overall
View:
Overall,
Vasuvum
Saravananum
Onna
Padichavanga
offers
you
nothing
new
and
yet
makes
you
laugh
at
most
places
and
hence
can
be
termed
as
a
trademark
Rajesh
film.
Check
out
some
of
the
most
interesting
stills
and
information
from
VSOP
in
the
slides
below:
VSOP
has
been
produced
and
released
by
Arya
under
his
production
company
named
'The
Show
People'.
He
has
associated
with
Prasad
V
Potluri
of
PVP
cinema.
25th
Flick
VSOP
is
also
Arya's
25th
flick
and
hence
will
be
a
memorable
one
to
him.
Santhanam's
Role
Like
any
other
M
Rajesh's
film,
Santhanam
has
a
huge
role
in
VSOP,
so
much
so
that
he
can
even
be
termed
as
a
hero.
Tamannaah's
Inclusion
It
was
reported
that
Nayantara
would
play
the
female
lead
and
that
the
movie
would
be
a
sequel
to
Boss
Engira
Bhaskaran
in
which
Tamannaah
would
play
a
new
character.
When
Nayantara
Backed
Out
But
when
Nayantara
reportedly
walked
out
of
the
project,
Rajesh
had
to
rework
on
his
script
and
then
went
on
to
confirm
that
the
movie
isn't
a
sequel
but
a
fresh
script
with
Tamannaah
in
the
lead.
Satellite
Rights
The
satellite
rights
of
the
movie
has
been
sold
to
Star
Vijay
for
an
undisclosed
price.
Vidyullekha
Raman
Vidyullekha
gets
a
prominent
role
in
the
movie
which
adds
freshness
to
the
script.
Bhanu's
Role
By
playing
Santhanam's
wife,
looks
like
Bhanu
has
moved
on
from
being
a
heroine.
Is
this
a
statement
that
she
is
open
to
do
variety
of
roles
in
Tamil
cinema
from
here
on?
Insults
In
The
Name
Of
Jokes
Every
Rajesh
film
has
so
far
housed
a
prominent
Tamil
word
'Kalaai'
which
means
insulting
others
in
a
funny
way.
VSOP
is
no
different
and
has
that
in
abundance.
Box
Office
Success?
Though
the
movie
has
so
far
managed
to
get
decent
to
good
reviews
from
fans
and
critics,
a
strong
competition
from
Simbu's
Vaalu
will
be
inevitable.
Stay
tuned
for
more
details
on
the
movie's
box
office
performance.
