varanam aayiram!!!!!

that is surya up there with sameera reddy.

OK i know most of my readers will never have heard of this tamil movie. i know, i know, but i got to keep my promise to some one very dear to me. so here goes. varanam aayiram. the movie directed by gautham menon ( an acclaimed director of action movies). unlike his other movies, this one focuses on the relationship between a father and a son. the actor (playing both the father and the son) is surya. now, really hats-off for him. he did an excellent job in this film. seriously, he was amazing. the actresses were simran, sameera reddy, divya spandhana (all three very good looking).

the story starts off from the scene where surya (the son)(military), is on an aircraft (going to save some journalist). he gets a call that informs him of the death of his beloved father. that's when he goes-back-in-time (flashback, of course). it starts off from when he was 17 till he joined the military. all those things that changed his life, and the way his father was there to pat his back and say it-will-get-better-in-time (in tune with Leona's song please). love, death of the lover, drugs, and then how his father managed to pull him out of the pit-of-doom, military, love again, married life, and so on.

i know that the way i have dumped the chronological order of events up there makes it look un-interesting but seriously, the way gautham executed it on film was AWESOME. he managed to bring the best out of surya. the best movie he had acted so far. the movie really speaks to hearts (it means it is really touching).all in all, the movie really was quite inspiring and the story line was quite different (for a tamil movie of course). all the songs are great, harris jeyaraj (the music director rocks). up there are some sweets for your eyes from this magnificent film.
