Its out. The public opinion is out. It’s one week since the release of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ and the audience has given its verdict.

‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ (VTV) is a hit. Director Goutham Vasudev Menon has done a splendid job and lived up to the expectation of most of his fans. Due credit to the director for his style and story narration.

‘VTV’ is a hit and the recent press meet to celebrate the success by the director has told it all. He told it is a team effort and the audience has rightly said that the movie’s success is attributed mainly to the music and the photography.

A R Rahman’s music was already a super hit even before the movie released and it created the much needed hype any movie would need. Complimenting this was Manoj Paramahamsa’s cinematography which showed the songs and a few scenes so beautifully. If not for his camera, the much hyped on-screen chemistry of the lead pair, Trisha and Silambarasan would have failed.

The feedback received from IndiaGlitz readers was astonishing. Most of them thought Trisha spoke for herself in the movie. It was not her but Chinmayi dubbed for Trisha in the movie. It is a shame, for an actress with Tamil as her mother tongue, not dubbing for herself. If not for Chinmayi, Trisha’s role would have been miniscule. Hats-off to Chinmayi for her voice modulation.

Silambarasan’s acting added little to the movie’s success. Although his image-make over and dialogue delivery in the movie was appreciated, the audience liked the supporting role of Ganesh, who is also one of the producers in the movie. His comic dialogue delivery brought some relief to the audience at the theatre. They felt that it was boring to see the lead pair in almost all the frames of the movie. The audience also thought that director Goutham casted the correct actors, as Trisha appeared older than Silambarasan, as the script commanded of a heroine older to the hero.

The audience feedback suggests that combination of any hero or heroine would make this movie a success. End of the day, director Goutham has another hit to his career. If not for him, his technicians and the producers, this movie would have failed to be a grosser at the box office.
