Everything sort of blurs together and becomes all of a piece. It’s kind of too bad, in such a light and happy film the acting/writing/directing don’t really get the appreciation or attention they deserve.

It’s just a great movie to watch on a cold depressing rainy day after you’ve just seen a whole string of Mani Ratnam films. Everything is going to work out for the best in the best of all possible worlds. Our heroine was stalked and kidnapped, but the kidnapper made it clear upfront that he was planning to marry her, and obviously there would be no hanky-panky before the wedding, or violence, so she was never in any danger either. Our hero got shot so many times I lost count, and he was always able to walk it off and be as good as new within seconds.
And even that twenty minute stretch is broken up by a good half hour of fight scenes scattered in and out.Īnd there was no fear for the characters either. The movie tricks you by starting with the lovers apparently separated, but then within ten minutes, it goes into flashback of their completely happy and easy romance, followed by like twenty minutes total of misunderstandings before a reunion. Our heroine didn’t have a deep heartbreak, more a sort of slight pain that was quickly dispersed. I was feeling everything the characters were feeling, but they were remarkably happy people (for film characters)! Our hero didn’t have a burning anger, more a sort of burning mild sense of affronted pride. I never felt super sad or angry or frustrated. But on the other hand, it also means that I was just riding a wave of feelings the whole time and enjoying the film without needing to think too much about it.Īnd there weren’t any feelings I was unhappy to feel with this film. If there’s nothing to think about, it means there is no moment that made me feel like I really had something to sink my teeth into and consider. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and also isn’t necessarily a good thing. I actually had a really hard time figuring out to say, because it’s one of those films that I get so caught up in the experience that it is harder to think of anything to say about it.
The bad guys are satisfyingly bad and get their comeuppance, the romance is super cute, all of that stuff is great. Fun! Trisha is loveable and peppy, Prabhas is soooooooooo young, but still charming and confident. So, fun movie! That’s my big deep first impression. At least, “liked” as in “willing to rewatch it multiple times and happy while viewing it.” Not so much “liked” as in “thought it was actual a deep and rewarding film with multiple layers and messages.” I saw Varsham! The same day as Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, which was weird since they are very different movies who share an actress playing two very different heroines.
