Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

sribornagain-394-460163 "Vaanam " is yet another example how in one language the movie can be interesting but in another not. It's been credited that Krish , who did the original is the director for this remake too but he has failed to recreate the same levels of emotion & passion this time around. For those who are seeing the movie for the first time , the movie may be passable. But for those who have already seen the original it might be striking that the soul & spirit of the original is missing in Tamil version. The screenplay plays truant here with many scenes ending abruptly which gives a feeling as to whether the movie was done in haste. The climax which packed a punch & left one moved in the original , leaves the viewers apathetic in this remade version.The extra bout of heroism for Silambarasan is unwarranted but on the whole he has done justice to the role which has shades of grey throughout. Bharath is okay in his role while Prakash Raj is convincing as ever. Shanthanam is the one of the few positives of the movie & his is the only one which can be said better than the original. (other than the music )Vega , Sonia Agarwal & Jasmine make up the numbers while Anuskha's portions are just reused from the original. Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is good with the songs already very popular. " Evandi unna pethan " is afoot tapping number but letdown by the picturisation. Neerav Shah's cinematography is pleasant .On the whole , "Vaanam " is a huge letdown if you have seen the original while an okay movie if you are watching it for the first time.Bottomline : Soulless.....

robvandam_raj Vaaman, aka SKY is not your usual ROM- com flick, that gives you nothing other than mental satisfaction. It all pans out in the last 30 minutes, where the film really stands out unique. Vedham did not satisfy me tat much, but d Tamil version is better. . . First the appreciation goes to director Krish. . . And not to forget Ganesh and Santanam with their humors working quite a few wonders. . . . Great work by the entire cast, with STR and Anushka being brilliant along with Prakash Raj. . . Guided by some decent camera works and decent background score. The title song Vaanam and No Money remain chart busters, will keep you happy and contented throughout! A must watch . . .

stiva I saw this movie recently, and surprisingly I am impressed by it. Simbu has finally done the best movie (other than Vinnaithandi Varuvaayaa). Now he can proudly say that he has talent and he can sure well act and do character based movies. Many people think it is remake of a Telugu movie, though in reality both of these movies are remakes of the 2004 academy award winner Crash. The director has done an excellent job in adapting the story to our Indian culture. Just like Crash, the characters intertwine at some points with many subplots and themes involving judging others, racism, religious discrimination, power and other horrible things that plagues this world.The movie has a good screenplay, good music and light comedy thrown in here and there. A complex story from South India, it is and that's saying something as it never happens normally and if it did happens usually they suck. But this one's much better.A movie well worth watching. Though, I still think that nothing can top the 2004 Best Picture Academy Award Winner, "Crash".I give it 7.8 out of 10.

Subaash Nair First of all this movie is a remake from Telugu movie Vedam. Well when i watched the original version i realized the story is quite interesting and emotional so i've decided to watch Vaanam and for my surprise the story line and all the loop holes were improved. Each of the character in the movie lives up to the expectation and every character has a message to display which is an important criteria for a movie goer like me. Thus the music was a well done task by Yuvan Shankar Raja not only by giving a chart buster single, yet the song Vaanam sung by himself was exceptionally woven brilliantly together with the story line. As the plot shapes together it draws more and more interest to know what will happen next.The acting of star cast such as Str,Barath,Anushka, Saranya, Prakash Raj, VTV Ganesh and Santhanam was brilliant and subtle and authentic. The climax was brilliant and it will touch your soul and will make you think . The ending of the movie is not an ending it's more to the beginning of a new life. Vaanam is not a movie is an experience with deep message. Live your life by giving others a life to live. A well done by Krish and crew.. Two Thumbs Up..
