First,
we
must
thank
Goutham
Vasudev
Menon
for
giving
a
refreshing
and
feel
good
cinema
in
the
era
of
useless
action
masala.
Vinnaithandi
Varuvaya
is
really
a
pure
magic
and
works
a
lot
with
the
viewers
who
easily
identify
their
own
flashback
or
current
memories
while
watching
the
lead
pair.
Karthik
(Simbu),
a
Tamil
Hindu
mechanical
engineer
with
the
dreams
of
making
films,
meets
Jessy
(Trisha),
a
Malayalee
Christian
girl,
who
is
an
IT
professional.
And
yes..
it
is
love
at
first
sight!
She
lives
on
the
top
floor
with
her
strict
father
(Babu
Antony),
mother
and
an
aggressive
brother,
while
Karthik
and
his
family
have
rented
out
the
lower
portion
of
their
house.
Karthik"s
passionate
wooing
melts
Jessy,
who
finally
succumbs
to
his
ardent
love.
But
her
family
and
religion
stands
in
the
way
of
true
love.
Whats
happening
for
their
love
is
explained
in
a
different
way
in
the
climax.
Silambarasan...
a
great
performer!
He
is
really
awesome
and
has
done
his
role
with
fantastic
touch.
His
way
of
expression
and
his
tears
in
the
climax
are
really
classic.
In
fact,
he
exposes
his
action
in
a
very
cool
and
controlled
manner,
which
portrays
him
big.
Keep
it
up
Simbu!
And
Trisha
looks
good
and
has
delivered
fine
performance
and
even
overtakes
Simbu
in
few
scenes
as
a
confused
and
excited
girl
with
real
love.
She
is
perfectly
exposing
her
possessiveness
over
Simbu
and
inability
to
overcome
her
parents
in
the
second
half.
The
chemistry
between
the
lead
pair
is
looking
real
and
mind
boggling.
The
character
of
Ganesh
(one
of
the
producers
of
this
film),
who
appears
as
a
cameraman
cum
hero's
friend
in
the
film,
is
really
interesting.
The
picturisation
of
the
songs
is
simply
remarkable
and
AR
Rahman
steals
the
hearts
with
his
soothing,
mesmerizing
melodies
like
Mannippaya,
Hosanna.
Manoj
Paramahamsa's
camera
work
is
a
major
plus
point
of
the
film.
Antony"s
editing
without
using
any
gimmicks
makes
the
narration
silken
smooth.
However,
the
film
Vinnaithandi
Varuvaya
is
having
few
minor
flaws.
The
slow
phase
of
the
second
half
and
frequent
use
of
bad
words
(Chennai
Tamil)
are
major
minuses
in
Goutham's
narration.
But
these
are
all
not
preventing
one
to
enjoy
the
content
of
true
and
painful
love
of
the
film!
