Vihari_Krishna Story : Ajith is an effeminate. Due to this, his wife insults him on their wedding day. Avenging that, Ajith rapes her and so she becomes pregnant and gives birth to twins. Ajith takes care of one while the other grows up under his mother. While one becomes a spoiled brat, the other becomes a psychopath as a result of the situations he faced in his childhood. He seeks to take revenge of his father. He plans to murder him twice. Now, what happens ?? will he succeed in doing so ?? What happens to the spoiled Ajith ?? forms the story.Performances : Ajith is the whole and sole of this movie. He is just excellent in all the three roles he portrayed. He is perfect when it comes to dancing scenes. It seems, he did a lot of homework to act like an effeminate and all his efforts paid off. This is easily one of his best performances. To put it simply, this is a one man show by Ajith. Heroines and other cast have nothing to do as I said earlier, the whole film has only 3 major actors - Ajith, Ajith and Ajith.Story-Screenplay-Direction : As it is evident, the story is an old- fashioned one. But the screenplay given to this makes difference. Direction is fine.Music : Music by Maestro A.R.Rahman is slightly a mixed bag. The soundtrack is partly superb and partly underwhelming. While Innisai (all three versions), Katril Oru Varthai & Theeyil Vizhundha are excellent compositions, Ilamai, Thottapuram & Kamma Karaiyil are below average songs strictly meant for Ajith fans. In a way, Rahman has failed to deliver a fully good album. But, as I mentioned earlier half of the songs are awesome. The soundtrack is worth listening for those alone. Background Score is again excellent. It elevates the film to a new level.Other Departments : Artwork, Cinematography and editing is fine.Final Piece : This film solely depends on one strength called - Ajith. His fan-base is huge. Acting wise, he is excellent in all the scenes. He just steals the show. If you admire Ajith, you would like this. Otherwise, you may just get irritated. You have to make a choice. I chose the first one and really enjoyed this film.
inigo This movie went through a lot of trouble before it came out. I remember a group of Ajith fans saying that he had no luck at all. And when it released it some how managed to survive the monsoon. May be because Simbu's so called romantic thriller chased people away to this one or there was something about the movie which made you want to see it. Anyway this is Ajith's best performance in years. he makes you forget the many poor aspects of the movie.The songs grow on you. I think the sentiment scenes worked really well with the audience. both the heroines have decent screen time. there are probably a few unwanted jokes placed in the movie. And yes i do not know what the title was all about ? but i give it 10 because i have never seen a movie single handedly saved by an actor.
shriya006 VARALARU is a great movie, and lot of hard work in that film, P.C.Sriram, work is excellent, and A.R.Rehman, did a wonderful job.All songs are feast....The Director, K.S.Ravikumar, has add his stamp from the first scene itself. A fast-paced narration with some interesting incidents weaved in, which doesn't allow you much time to ponder on the flaws, and which camouflages the inadequacies of the script, makes 'Varalaru' engaging viewing. And the soul of the film is undoubtedly Ajit, who performs his three diverse characters with panache. The actor has put in much effort, demarcating each role with such finesse and understanding that it is a sheer delight watching him on screen. There is Shiva, the ageing business tycoon, bound to his wheelchair, sharing a strong bonding with his son Vishnu. Indulgent, while Vishnu whiles away his time with his cronies taking life easy. But then suddenly Vishnu starts behaving out of character, his drunken bouts and acts causing the father much shame and embarrassment. And when Vishnu professes to remember nothing of what he had done, the father takes him to a psychiatrist.With 'Varalaru' Ajit has bounced back with a vengeance and re-established his credentials as an actor who can deliver if given the right role and projected suitably.Then appears Jeeva, Vishnu's look-alike, and the cause of Vishnu's woes. Jeeva's target is Shiva, and his motive vengeance for the wrong done to his mother decades back. The flashback episodes has Ajit playing a classical dancer, and it is here that the actor scores. With his perfect body language to go with the character of the dancer, and the feminine mannerisms he adopts to go with it,Ajith cuts a fascinating picture. His classical dance number is performed with such finesse that it takes you by sheer surprise.
stiva There's a proverb in Tamil "Kannal kanbadhum poi. Kaadhal ketpadhum poi" It means, "Things u see with your eyes are illusions. Things you listen with your ears are all lies" This movie is like tat... Impossibly the worst movie...I saw this movie... The tile of the movie is "Godfather"... But, the story has no connection to the title at all... Guess, the director doesn't know the meaning for Godfather...TO ALL TAMIL DIRECTORS... BEFORE TITLING A MOVIE LOOK FOR THE MEANING IN THE DICTIONARY BEFORE DOING SO...
