Re: [arr] A (bad) review of VTV
hey guys for god sake pl dont post this type of unnecessary reviews here...its totally irrelevant to read these reviews after the stupendous success of VTV...go n see thecollection which VTV made after its release in dis same behindwoods page...posting articles like this seems to degrade the whole team of VTV including our ARR sir who is alos a part of this VTV... so let this happen for the last time...hereafter these things cant be encouraged anymore... go n see this link.. http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/mar-10-01/gautham-menon-vinnathaandi-varuvayaa-05-03-10.html --- On Fri, 5/3/10, pratap wrote: From: pratap Subject: [arr] A (bad) review of VTV To: "ARR FAN CLUB" Date: Friday, 5 March, 2010, 9:02 AM VTV - HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC Home > Visitor Column By Behindwoods Visitor K.ANANTH The views expressed in this column are that of the visitor.

[arr] A (bad) review of VTV
VTV
- HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC
Home
> Visitor
Column
By
Behindwoods Visitor K.ANANTH
The
views expressed in this column are that of the
visitor.
Behindwoods.com doesn't hold responsible for its
content.
After
proving his mettle with some
unforgettable
cop flicks and psycho thrillers Gautham
Vasudev Menon seemed all set to make
you
fall in love, with love. In the end
however
you have to say that he has managed to
do quite the opposite.
Karthik (Silambarasan) an aspiring film
director, falls head over heals in love
with Jessie(Trisha) at first sight. The
problem? He is a Hindu, she is a
conservative
Malayali Christian, she has a job and
is settled while he is still at the
crossroads
of life, trying to find a footing in
cinema,
having given up his studies already and
to top it all she is a year older than
him.
Despite having a great recipe for a
classic
romantic flick Gautham gets it all
wrong.
For starters this movie is a big time
overdose of romance with very few
enjoyable
moments that you would like to relive
over and over again. The initial
sequences
between the lead pair seem so
artificial
and contrary to the voiceovers Karthik
gives at many points during the film.
There is no real chemistry between
them,
at least for most part. It may be safe
to blame the writing for this which
summed
up in one word is, unimaginative.
To
top that there is nothing innovative
about
the script and the meandering
screenplay
just makes things worse. After a point
in time the movie becomes so much of an
ordeal and a test of patience
that you manage to easily look
through
GA_googleFillSlot("T_200_200");
GA_googleCreateDomIframe('google_ads_div_T_200_200' ,'T_200_200');
some genuinely good moments towards the end.
However to Gautham
