While the Yennai Arindhaal team was busy granting myriad interviews, no outlet could get hold of the elusive star – Ajith.Three days after the release of Yennai Arindhaal, Vijay TV telecast a special show called Ajith Best Moments.Apparently, even before the shooting of Yennai Arindhaal could begin, Ajith would often tell GVM that the film would be a game-changer for many on the team.
Selvaraghavan has announced plans to revive his film with actor Silambarasan. The project will have music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, and is reported to have camera work by Arvind Krishna.
His Thenmozhi is torn between a career and being needy; she goes from an independent professional at home making corporate presentations to suddenly extolling how handsome Sathyadev is a hundred times a minute in her mind voice. Anushka has bangs.Gautham Vasudeva Menon is the chronicler of the lush and opulent; of mineral water and cappuccinos; of Carnatic music lessons and designer furniture and simple cotton salwars that cost a fortune.
Actor-director Prabhu Deva has been signed on by director Thiru for an important role in his upcoming film which has Jai and Trisha in pivotal roles. Prabhu Deva will play the role of Jai’s elder brother in the movie.
Also, Hemanika is a single mother, Thenmozhi is delightfully saucy, and Liza (Parvathy Nair) twice as evil that GVM could be forgiven for his exaggerated show of urbanism – a Madurai dada who lives in the rustic confines of the city, is unceremoniously called a ‘motherfucker’ when his city counterparts are pelted with a few Tamil cousins of the word. What tragedy, no?
Actor Arun Vijay was moved to tears after witnessing the overwhelming response from the audience to his role in Yennai Arindhaal. He watched the film with producer AM Ratnam at a theatre in the city. Yennai Arindhaal, which released yesterday, has received mostly positive reviews. Arun Vijay plays Victor, the villain in the movie.
The biggest challenge is the first half lacks pace and many scenes were very subtle. The first half ends on a dreary down note. One could tell from the perplexed looks on people’s face right during the intermission. The first half is a collage of sequences without a clear sense of purpose. Fortunately, Gautham gets a firm grip on the script right after the interval when the story’s pivotal knot is revealed. The dialogues are Manirathnam-esque in the starting reels. The pattern of dialogues are so jumbled that it takes additional fraction of a second to comprehend. The costumes and make-up department have done a great job for Trisha and let down Anushka. Even though the movie’s dark and heavy style give a mature look to the movie. This also will prove to be a challenge in bringing the women, family and common audience to theatres.
He declared that was very happy with the way the film had turned out and also appreciated the whole team for their hard work and dedication. “Gautham wrote the script only after Ajith sir got onboard the project.Director Gautham Vasudev Menon met the press in the city yesterday to talk about his upcoming Yennai Arindhaal starring Ajith Kumar.
