I still remember those days when we went to watch movies just for fun, time pass...
then came the days when we went to watch the heros on the screens...
then came the days when we went to watch the movies because of their directors...
n then came the days when we went to watch the movies because of their Story, Screenplay & Cinematography...
One such film is Varanam Aayiram...After a great struggle for two weeks, I could manage to get a ticket for a night show...[with my mom :-) now a days, she s the only person who accompanies me for movies] With lots n lots of expectations, I was sitting in my allotted seat to watch the most awaited movie...after some couple of commercials...The movie started off with a gramaphone on the screen n a person (Suriya) singing an oooold Hindi song followed by "uravugal thodarkadhai" song...Apart from the film "GURU", this is the only film in which I liked title bgm.
The story in a nutshell - the theme of how a father often came across his son's life as a hero and inspiration, whose death was deeply mourned in the end. It may sound so childish when u read this...but watch the movie you will realize the real feel of it...The screenplay of the film is fantabulous...Its like reading a novel page by page...
Three reasons why I like this movie...(1) Gautam Menon (2) Suriya & (3) BGM & Songs (Harris Jayaraj)
Gautam Menon:
I am an avid fan of Gautham...I donno the reason...Starting from his first film 'Minnale' till his last film 'Pachai Kili Muthu Charam' Amazing works, Hats off to him!!! Name of the movie...Varanam Aayiram means 'the strength of a thousand elephants'...
வாரணம் ஆயிரம் சூழ வலம் செய்து நாரணன் நம்பி நடக்கின்றான் என்றெதிர் பூரண பொற்குடம் வைத்துப் புறம் எங்கும் தோரணம் நாட்டக் கனா கண்டேன் தோழி நான் கனா கண்டேன் .
really donno from where he gets these titles??? One more thing that I liked very much in the movie...the theme - Whatever happens, life has to go on!!! Amazing Theme...
Suriya:
Suriya s someone who likes to do normal things in a different way...Surya has, no doubt, scaled many dimensions in acting especially in this film, he carries the whole film in his shoulders...Starting from the introduction scene till the climax, simply superb acting...Especially when he gets onto the road in search of the Child, Aditya...
BGM & Songs:
Harris has proved that he was an assistant to AR Rahman...Amazing music...All the songs rock and his background score also is very good backed by good poetic lyrics...My favorite is "Nenjukul Peidhidum Maamazhai" & "Anajalai"...Hope to see more movies like this...
Overall...a movie worth watching...Hats off to the team...If you like this movie...then I am sure you are emotionally attached to someone in this world...may be ur dad or mom or bro or sis or wife or friend or anyone in ur life!!!!
