Vaanavil Vazhkai Movie Review The Hindu

Recommended

Kollywood still seems to believe that there is nothing more to campus life than homie handshakes in the corridor and overused, simplistic resolutions to pointless romances that invariably take place in the girl’s bedroom balcony. Dialogues are insipid. Sample this: hiding love is as tough as hiding pregnancy. Gross inconsistencies in the visuals and awkward staging also make this a tiresome watch. Even these flaws seem forgivable compared to sequences that blatantly promote brands and products.

The idea to make a musical is creditable, but VV is a wasted effort. I only wish James had co-directed the film with someone more capable of handling the technical aspects. VV’s blooper reel at the end turns out to have more heart than the film.
