Naanum ennoda Review oda vanthiteen

.

I was SOO SOOO SOO EXCITED When I found out they are showing the movie here! My city is a "tamil movie illa kaadu" ROFL

, so you can all imagine my excitement! My cousin and I went all dressed up in brown and black to match the Robin Hood like Velayudham

. Now since we went with my parents, my cousin and I made sure to sit at the very back far away from anyone we knew

, because we were planning of CHEERING LOTS

.

So when the movie started... we immediately cheered loud for Thalapathy Vijay

... little kids started following us and them soon guys too ROFL

. It was so much fun, b/c here we barely make noise but this was the first

.

NOTE SOME CONTENT MAY APPEAR AS SPOILERS. READERS' DISCRETION is ADVISED!! If you wish to read, please HIGHLIGHT (select the portion) to be able to read it

So the movie started off, and we were waiting for our Thalapathy's entry

. In the meantime, it started off with an event that becomes VERY CRUCIAL FOR THE REST OF MOVIE!!! Villain and then Genelia get introduced. Right off the bat, I knew Genelia's role was going to be serious, but she played it to perfection

.

Then came our Thalapathy...

!!! We were all cheering loud as we could

. Now things were so much fun and we all laughed throughout for the next little while. It was great to see the sister brother duo and the ragalai they did at their town ROFL

. My cousin and I right away could predict what was to happen... after seeing their rapport

.

And Hansikha entry

Many boys cheered so loud

. She didn't come across like a village girl

...

The movie gets a bit serious again, and honestly I badly wanted to go inside the screen and put an end to the villain

. One after another the Villains were getting on our nerves

.

And then the fun parts again ROFL

. It was so awesome to see the funfilled Vijay ROFL

. He was amazing and made us all laugh. It reminded me of Ghilli

.

And Santhanam

... LOVED his parts so much ROFL

, though I wish he was there for a bit longer

.

Then a series of events led to the climax! Though the scenes were predictable, it was engaging surely

! One scene was heart wrenching

. And the Climax part kept us on toes

... I was like so nervous

.

Performance wise, Vijay rocked

! He excels in comedy scenes

.. and DANCE

he rocked!!! He was aweosme in the Climax scene!

Genelia was AMAZING

. She is indeed a talented actress who can do a variety of roles! I loved her in this role!

Hansikha plays a bubbly role and looked cute. I loved her jewels so much

...!!!

Saranya mohan was cute as a bubbly sister too

. She has equal footage as the heroines and plays her role well

.

Villains... no need to say ROFL

, they all got on our nerves, which means they did their parts well too ROFL

.

Now coming to overall movie, Story was nothing new and very much predictable. My cousin who had watched the telugu version of the movie, Aazad, said the major difference was the climax. However, presentation was entertaining

! Loved the flow of the movie and the well balanced scenes between comedy and serious scenes! It was engaging!

Normally I hate to watch fight scenes... but one particular fight scene (Other than the climax) i enjoyed watching b/c of the effort and risk taken

. I loved most of the songs

. Rathathin Rathame remains my favorite now

... it waas so amazing!!! It was so touching

. Needlness to say, CLIMAX was pakka

! We cheered lots

...!!!

Now things that could I wished had been different... There were a number of violent scenes, which could have been reduced! Some were gruesome

and scary

. Some kids at the theatre got scared along with some woman

. I also wished to see Sandhanam for a bit longer, but I guess it was fine the way it was as well..

. ATTN: MAY APPEAR AS SPOILER >>>>> And lastly, many of us wished the other heroine paired up with Vijay ROFL

... we were kind of sad but I guess the story required it to remain like that. <<<<<<

So overall, like Shireen said, and out and out commercial masala! Those who love this type of Genre will surley love it. Though one piece of advice is do not go with any expecatation.. with regards to story

. Go with the flow and rest assured, you will love it, like I did

! I surely took a message out of this movie "Dont' blindly believe anything you see and hear! It can be life threatening!" And its very very true!

Kudos to Velayudham Team

. I will surely wait to pick up the DVD for velayudham to add to my collection

, since they only showed the movie on Saturday (after all my city is a tamil movie illai kaadu

).

This Diwali surely was a treat for me, as I got to watch two movies, which I loved lots

! So time was worth it indeed

!

P.S. forgot to add the songs were good.. music was peppy! I love rathathin rathamee

.. though before i loved chillax ROFL

i sang that song at the theatre ROFL

^ i agree the violent scenes could've been reduced ... there were these kids sitting in the row in front of me and they were jumping up and down throughout the movie ... but then some of the gruesome parts and the last fight, the kids were too stunned to move

and I also agree with your last spoiler even my cousin was like "NOOO"

You know this lady next to me, she was behaving like a baby

, and held my arm too (since I know her).. and startled me also

... so I sang "Chillax Chillax Chillax Chillax" song to her ROFL

...

But I forgot to mention. BTW sorry my review is super long ROFL

... it goes to show i was engaged to the movie lots ROFL

. Normally I hate watching village type aruva veechu vettu kuthu sandai.. but in this movie I enjoyed watching the fight scenes too

.. just some violent parts (which I can't reveal) was kind of scary..

And the most touching scene brought tears to many's eyes

... so sentimental...!!!!

And I know, so many people were like NOOO ROFL

. But then at the end, they accepted

^ same I usually avoid the village type violent movies, but this was one was really enjoyable ..

after watching it, I was surprised it got a clean rating in India especially with the violence .. obviously the rating here was 14+ but then that's what they give to all tamil/indian movies

and the spoiler .. i was complaining even as I walked out of the theatre .. my mom literally told me to "Move on!"

Hey IFs

Have just seen Velayutham and here is my (perhaps very) negative view of the film. SPOILER ALERT DONT READ FURTHER

The best thing about the film is definitely the comedy and all the actors have done really good job.

The movie started out good with Bharathi (Genelia) as the strong journalist who wants to make a difference and the begining gave me hope that this film might be different than many other movies of Vijay - but no ... Genelia's role was shown strongminded, but was disappointed that she hadnt more to do - but definitely good role and hope she continues to make films in kollywood.

Hansika so nice, and gave a better Performance than Mapillai, but had honestly not much to do in the movie and her part could certainly have been replaced with more stage space for Genelia. in her case I am disappointed Jeyam Raja. Until now he has remaked movies where actresses have an equally strong role as an actor, and they are always nice and decent clothes on ... but yea .. Hansika's role could certainly have been better if she should have been there.

Vijay's last monologue was also very good, and he hit some key points (even if you look at his future policy) on the blind faith and that one should not expect others to do the work for you.

Saranya Mohan - the perfect little sister - Hope She continues to play han little sister and nothing more

Regarding the songs, could Mayam seythano definitely have been better or be deleted from the film. (it reminded of an old english music video ).

When we look at history I can only say that I look forward to the film to show that violence can not be solved with violence, and that Tamil Nadu is more than corruption.

People say you cant expect more from a masala movie - but where does that come from and is that going to be the reason for directors to think - Hey i can make a fortune with a movie without any logic, reason, pure violence, good looking girls and songs - the last comment is not only for Velayutham...my intention is not to hurt anybody, but just come with my view, and i am sorry if I have hurt anyone
