VINNAITHANDI VARUVAYA MOVIE REVIEW

Two reasons which dragged me to the theatre to watch “Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya” on the First Day was A R Rahman and Gowtham Menon. After watching this movie I found 88 other reasons not to watch this movie.

VTV starts at a church in Kerala which shows Karthik(Simbu) attending Jessy’s(Trisha) marriage..He starts narrating his lovestory between Karthik&Jessy..Flashback shows this Mechanical Engineer cum Aspiring Filmmaker trying to woo jessy and the Interval block takes us back to the first scene at church. Jessy say no to marriage and goes out of the church.

I started this review keeping in mind that I can narrate the whole story that you can understand how much confusing it is ! But I am sorry guys, It’s a lackluster movie and I am a confused soul ever since i watched this movie.

Gowtham Menon has let us down terribly with this movie.There are two scenes in this movie when Karthi talks about their chemistry and Love.But as a viewer I never found any chemistry or love between the lead pair.Its an absolute miscast ! Both of them sleepwalks through their character and I bet you never can find any positive energy in their performance.

The person who acts as karthiks friend makes the first half interesting.The supporting cast is Ok but all is letdown by the shoddy screenplay and characterisation

There are certain combinations which can create magic. One among them is Gowtham-harris jeyraj.We missed Harris Jeyraj in this movie. The music by AR Rahman can termed only as good and the Background score outstanding.

Goutham Menon has been brilliantly supported by his technical department but the director himself is the Culprit for the creation of One of the most boring and confusing movie I have ever seen.

To sum it up Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya(VTV) is a Disaster !

I goes with 1 out of 5 for Gowtham Menons Vinnaithandi Varuvaya !

Verdict: Stay away !

MY NAME IS KHAN MOVIE REVIEW

There was an era in this world post 9/11,when a majority of the muslim in the western world felt the burden of his/her name.An era when the identity of a muslim was questioned..Karan johar takes us back to that era to create a movie which has a serious message and at the same time it makes us feel good.

You term it as "Thought Provoking or Entertaining",Karan Johar excels this time as a mature director who handles his craft so well.He has woven so many crowd pleasing moments in his screenplay.Karan plays tricky by creating a feel-good movie with a serious subject.

Shahrukh Khan as Rizwan Khan is lovable.His Inconsistency in performance can be pardoned off due to his dialogue delivery and Charisma. Kajol is class A and we cant imagine anyone else as Mandira in MNIK. The supportive cast is excellent and the foreign artistes convincing.

The strong points of MNIK are:

Chemistry between the lead pair and the soft romance between them

The humanism which Rizwan carries throughout the movie

Decent screenplay and plenty of sharp Oneliners

The portrayal of essential goodness of human spirit through Rizwan and many of the supporting cast

Excellent background music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy

Different cinematography comparing to other Karan Johar movies.Here colors are limited and most scenes looks raw,which immensely helps to lift the mood of the movie

Karan Johar,who deviates from his earlier kindof bubble gum romance and yields the megaphone as a mature director who confidentally approach this subject in the company of King Khan & Kajol

Negative points are far and few which is compensated by so many positive aspects.To sum it up'My name is Khan" is an excellent art by Karan Johar which is just next to a classic.Rizwan will make you forget "all the raj's & rahul's" by shahrukh.Its a milestone movie for all associated with it.

I go with 4 out of 5 and a thumbs up for MNIK
