In every instance, he's subtly altered his body language, the expression in his eyes, the indefinable something that marks the difference between a father and son - and even in the various stages of a son's life, he's managed to alter himself. But when he appears on screen as six-pack moulded Major, the whistles hit the roof. For those who thought a thirty-something could never go back to being a 17-year old, here's a newsflash: with his paltry moustache and perky enthusiasm, Surya's perfect.Īs a love-struck young man who falls flat on his face for Sameera Reddy, he's adorable. As a drug addict faced with life's greatest trials, he's marvellous. Years roll, and there appears Surya, their son - who moves through life, experiencing the same kind of love with Meghna (Sameera Reddy ) - and Priya (Divya Spandana). The moment they set eyes on each other, they know that their fate is bound sealed. Gautham Menon has crafted a moving story, calculated to describe in the minutest details the story of an ideal father: Krishnan is a merry, strong individual who sweeps Malini off her feet (the Mundhinam Parthene song sequence is a rollicking riot from the 70s, with even the old Spencer's Plaza painstakingly re-created digitally). No specific role to play.Exclusive! Suriya on Vaaranam Aayiram, Ghajnini * Sister character in the story is completely wasted.
But Simran takes away the attention from both of them with the way she carries her role. Adding charm to the film are Sameera Reddy and Divya Spandana. And Surya’s performance is one of his best till date. That’s how real this Gautham Menon film is. Every incident you see in the film will remind you of an aspect of your own life.
#VAARANAM AAYIRAM TAMIL FILM MOVIE#
Vaaranam Aayiram is a deeply touching movie that brings forth several emotions at once. The three hour long movie advocates non-smoking heavily and hits the smokers hard with the harsh reality of its consequences – cancer, for instance. Like the scene in which the cancer patient dad expresses his helplessness in telling stories to his grandson since his vocal chords no longer support him and Simran’s emotional silent outburst when she is being told that her husband is about to start his final journey. There are touching and heart-warming moments in the movie however, they are few and far between. Gautham has derived inspiration for Vaaranam Aayiram from his own life and hence the movie is by and large close to real life with only very few scenes seeming out of place. He looks unbelievably like a person in his early twenties in some sequences that require him to be so. The variety of emotions he has portrayed is very good and a strong mention has to be made about his good looks and charm.
The earthly presence of his father might have gone away forever….but will always have a place in his heart….probably thoughts that Gautham Vasudev Menon has…. The flashes of reminiscence stops and reality dawns….he is part of the rescue mission now, fighting terrorists…. Does time wither away the association they had had? After six years in the armed forces, he becomes a major and also has loving thoughts of a girl (Priya played by Divya Spandana) he had known for a long time but had really not given any kind of attention to. Surya walks the streets of Kashmir and Delhi and even indulges in daring acts like rescuing a kidnapped child. His parents even want him to go away somewhere so that he can overcome his grief. His parents take care of him through these torrid times. An unfortunate incident happens and Meghna dies.Ī reckless Surya then starts smoking, drinking and becomes a drug addict. The antics he indulges in once he sees Meghna (Sameera Reddy) on a night train and his acts of trying to woo her, gets across to the audience very well. Surya’s adolescent days look quite refreshing. What a fantastic dad he had had! The story is narrated through beautiful sequences – the time his father had met his mother in college (as told to him by his mother) and the innovative way he had made known his love for her – his birth and the way he had always looked up to his dad as a real hero – his sister’s birth and the happy little family that they were – his adolescence – his adventures – his love The rest of the movie is the son’s reminiscence of his father. The news is then conveyed to his son, played by Surya again, who is on a defence operation somewhere in Kashmir.
The movie opens with an aged Surya succumbing to throat cancer. Much effort has been taken to bring out authenticity to the ‘period’ effect which is praiseworthy.Ĭast: Surya, Sameera Reddy, Divya, Simran The story follows the lead characters (the protagonist and his father) through decades. This film explores family relationships, especially the father–son relationship in depth.
