Vanthaan Vendraan






Story: A different story with a lot of twists just to mislead audience. Filled with action and romance with small portion of emotions and drama. Story of a man and his struggle to win his love. Love can be seen different point of view actually. Of course it has all commercial entertainment value just like usual Tamil film. It takes a lot of time to determine the protagonist intention throughout the movie. Directed by R.Kannan (Jayam Kondaan & Kanden Kadhalai).

Casting: Jeeva plays the lead man while Taapsee Pannu of Aadukalam fame plays the lead lady. And we have Nandha playing the antagonist character. This would not be Jeeva's best since this doesn't have that much added value in his character. Just like usual Chocolate boy who is in love and had to face Nandha due to some circumstances. But his determination was well potrayed after the second half of the movie, at that moment Jeeva did some good performances.Taapsee had a  totally different role from Aadukalam, an urban chick who has contemporary thinking. She was attached to Jeeva due to an incident which she has an obligation to pay him back. She somehow can lip sync better than Hansika. Nandha had a great Image there as a Villain but his dialogue were common ones. And we have Santhanam to take care of the comedy section and of course he at his best made everyone laugh with his words. Santhanam were part of the twists as well.

Screenplay: It was at slow pace for 1st half of the movie. But it gets better and faster at second half. The romance scenes were displayed quite good yet songs placing were kind of a spoiler. The songs and its visualization were super good but just that it did not take place at the correct time and the transitions were kind of short. It breaks the actual mood of the scenes. There are about 3 twists in the movie which will change the directions of the movie. The 3rd twist may receive critical acclaims but the second half will sure entertain you with some Jeeva getting into action moments. But the climax were too simple with some 90's family value elements. Great thing about the movie is actual message that the director wanted to share with the audience.


Music: The music was composed by Thaman and the songs were chart busters especially Kanchana Mala. The visualization were also great. There is no compromise that music was one of the greatest thing in the movie.

 
Plus Point: 2nd half of the movie, Romance and action scenes, Santhanam comedy, Storyline was different

Minus Point: Songs timing and climax, Flashback transitions.


Verdict: Can be watched once at cinema. It is a good movie though, with some weakness in screenplay. Still there are a lot of entertainment value in it.
