Tamil Movie Review

Few days ago well known actor Silambarasan specially known as "The Little Superstar or The Young Superstar" celebrated his Birthday in a grand manner. Most of of film fraternity attended the party to felicitate actor Simbu.

As the most expected film of Simbu Vinnaithandi Varuvaya which is directed by Gautham Menon and the music is scored by A.R.Rahman is about to release soon. The music of this film has made it to #1 on the chart and it was the first film from Tamil film industry whose audio launch was held in foriegn country(London, U.K). Iam sure Vinnaithandi Varuvaya will be a massive hit like Vaaranam Aayiram.

Latest buzz about Simbu is that the ace director Mani Ratnam have approached Simbu for his next film and the actor have also agreed to the director without any hesitation.

Vinnaithandi Varuvaya will portray Simbu and Trisha in a different form as Gautham have directed this film in very different manner, waiting to watch this movie in big screen.

I think its one of the awesome party i have ever seen bcos Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar and his wife Shalini Kumar were present and even Sarath Kumar and wife Radhika Sarath Kumar were present at the party.

Other who attended were Director K.S.Ravikumar, Gautham Menon, Venkat Prabhu, Dharani, Bala. Actor Ajith Kumar, Sarath Kumar, Arya, Bharath, Siva, Jai, Premgi, Music Director Yuvan Actress Shalini, Radhika, Trisha and even some serial star were present at party.

One can best describe this as a faithful remake with almost everything in the original recreated well in Tamil. Three cheers to director Kannan, because in Kanden Kadhalai he has faithfully followed the footsteps of Imtiaz Ali and in the process made an impressive remake of Jab We Met.

Sakthivel (Bharath) and Anjali (Tamannah) come across each other in a train to Madurai. The youth, defeated in both his business and romance, takes the journey with no particular destination, no aim in mind. A soft-spoken Sakthivel meets Anjali, who is his direct opposite.
A sequence of events leads to Anjali missing the train after she decides to help Sakthivel. As a result, she starts to blame Sakthi and tells him in no uncertain terms that as he is responsible for her predicament, it's his duty to ensure that she reaches her destination -- her native place.

The first half is all about their journey from Vridhachalam to Theni. Thanks to Anjali, Sakthivel slowly develops interest in his life and becomes self-confident again. Her grandfather (Ravichandran), her father (Nizhalgal Ravi) and her uncle (Azhagam Perumal) greet Sakthivel effusively and urge him to stay for a week.

In the mist of all this bonhomie, arrives Mokkai Perumal (Santhanam), Anjali's `morai' mama who wants to marry her.

But the bubbly Anjali decides to elope instead, to Ooty, with her boyfriend Goutham Menon (Munna). She asks Sakthivel for help. When they elope, the whole family thinks Anjali has walked out of the house to marry Sakthivel, who carries on with his life and brings his business back on track. Till he gets the news that Anjali is not married to Goutham.

The rest of the plot plays out between Anjali, Sakthi and Munna -- no prizes for guessing whom she finally decides to marry! It has no complex storyline, no thrills or spills, it's just a feel-good story with entertaining elements all through. Kannan has given Imtiaz Ali's story the perfect local flavour. Tamannah plays the role enacted by Kareena Kapoor, while Bharath essays Shahid Kapoor's role.

Bharath seems to have strictly followed Shahid Kapoor in his mannerisms and costumes. He impresses in the first half as a soft-spoken, dejected youth. Tamannah, who played a bubbly young girl in Anandha Thandavam has plunged enthusiastically into a similar role here and man ages to come up trumps. Santhanam is the scene-stealer. Munna as Goutham Menon, despite appearing briefly, gives a neat performance.

If the USP of JWM was the Punjabi family around which the story revolved, KK is woven around a Thevar family in Theni.

Vidhyasagar's music is average when compared to the tracks in the original. P.G.
Muthiah's cinematography captures the beauty of Ooty. The movie is a bit slow as it begins but be patient if you want to enjoy some magic moments in the second half.

Tamannah plays as Thevar girl in the film. while Kareena played as Punjabi girl in Jab We Met, Tamannah who had also undergone an image makeover for this role, she even have watched Jab We Met atleast four times.


But i guess Tamannah cannot match the peppy character which Bebo did in the original movie.
Although it is a remake, she claims that she and Bharath will bring a fresh perspective to the film, thanks to director Kannan’s effort and encouragement. The two songs shot so far have come out brilliantly. Though she has done her best to live up to Kareena’s performance in Hindi lets see how it is. A few of the sequences for the film were shot in the dense forests of Pollachi,

where a woodhouse was erected. After the shooting wa over, Kannan the director of film gifted the woodhouse to Forest Department to support tourism so that it may be easy for the forest department people to keep a watch on the wild animals. Speaking about the movie, producer Dhananjayan of Moser Baer is very happy that Kannan completed the first schedule, which is 27 days ahead of what was planned initially. With
this 50 per cent of the talkie portions are over. The remake will have several interesting changes to help get a regional touch”.
