Watched Vanakkam Chennai yesterday. The multi-plex which has 4 screens had other new releases like Nayyandi and Kayavan and this was the only movie which was house full. It is another story this screen was not even 1/4th in terms seating capacity to the other three screens.
Debut for Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi, daughter-in-law of the former first family of the state. It's the first time that a lady from their family is getting into movies/entertainment industry. She sticks to the tried and tested romantic genre.
Cast includes Siva, Priya Anand, Urvaasi, Santhanam, Nizhalgal Ravi, Nasser, Rahul Ravindran, Renuka.
The story is pretty simple, the lead pair are forced to share an apartment and in the process fall in love. Cut to flash back, the girl is already engaged. Finally the lovers unite. The handling is nothing new. Songs are loud. Comedy is pathetic. Too many characters who are wasted, Urvaasi(who comes as a cop and a neighbor to the lead pair) a class actress is hardly used. Nasser comes in one scene, Santhanam (who now a days comes from the first scene till the climax in all such movies) makes his presence only during the interval. Rosy aunty & uncle - irritating to the core. Nizhalgal ravi(heroines father), nothing much to do. America mapillai (sorry London mapillai) another character added for the sake of showing a possible villain to the love story. Renuka (Siva's mother) has something to do. Aarthi, Swaminathan, Mano Bala all come in single scenes.
Santhanam even though comes only half of the movie, does the same thing that he has done in many other movies. Trying to help the lovers. Some scenes are good - How the heroine handles a driver on landing in Chennai(by acting as if calling her dad and giving full details of the car and the driver to ensure the driver behaves), Siva mentioning about ring removal gel(when he actually uses saliva to remove the ring from the heroine) . Why do we need a holi scene in a tamil movie?
Siva is his usual self. Same poker faced look. Cannot dance. Priya Anand is good with her expressions.
Songs are ok but the RR is bad. The last song which comes when the credits roll is good.
Overall the movie has nothing new, comedy is also not good. Overall a very average movie.
