BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

iamkspkrishna One of great movies I watched during my Teens. Story : 10/10 Acting: 10/10 Music : 10/10What more can I get?

akhilsudhakaran "Whatever happens life has to go on…" an important phrase in the film Vaaram Aayiram written and directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. The film is about a Father- Son relationship where Suriya (the protagonist) organize all his memories at the moment when he is on a mission (an army mission) while he heard about the demise of his father. Suriya went back through the times which he had spent with his father. It also welcomes you into the world of love; the eternity and divinity of that wonderful feeling.

dhil raj How do you guys even like this film let alone give it 7.5?The film is supposed to be about a father son relationship.But the only thing that Surya gets inspired from his father in the film seems to be his love.I almost killed myself trying to watch the first half.I thought that Tamil cinema was done with all those stupid 'love at first sight'stuff.Though I admit that there wasn't nothing wrong with the acting it isn't worth mentioning.This must be Gautham Menon's worst film up to date.He had a good story but unfortunately he killed it.He seemed to have had half his mind which tried to make a good meaningful movie and the other half which tried to make a commercial movie.The result is disastrous.My verdict:don't watch the film unless you are a die hard Surya fan.

rathish-r2000 Gautham Vasudev Menon is back with a film straight from the heart. The director, who believes in meaningful cinema, is trying to push the cinematic envelope with Vaaranam Aayiram.The film is clearly meant for niche audiences, and not for mass viewing. It is a tribute to the director's dad, who passed away last year. The treatment and narration are purely autobiographical with most of it taken from real life incidents laced with cinematic liberties.In a nutshell, the film is personal and deals with the deep bonding between a loving and devoted father and his son who is trying to discover himself. Menon's life story may be woefully long and meandering with a great first half, but post Interval, it lags. Still it works and grabs us where it matters and leaves a lump in your throat.The film demands great patience to sit through and is an overdose of emotions. If the film holds on, it is because of its music and superb performance of Surya. On the whole, the film is optimistic, fresh and emotionally honest. But how mature are our audiences, is the million dollar question?
