Musings From My Heart's Canvas...

After all the hype given to this one...i just HAD to watch it! First i heard it from my friends here that the songs are Stupendo Fantabulastic!! Then there were others who said that the movie is cute...and then some days back i read a post from one of my friends hyping the movie to greater heights!! And i knew i had to give it a shot this weekend... :)
The movie's story i will say is something different...something that atleast i would not call as being predictable. The story is something very close to reality...the kind of ups and downs that love stories these days go thru...the way emotions have been depicted is very realistic and will keep you glued to your seats. The story though being different doesnt take you into a fantasy world where you will say such things dont happen in real life!! it keeps itself carefully within the limits of realities of today's world. The delicate strings that carry a relatioship thru sweet times and hard times have been beautifully depicted in the movie. I would not rate this movie as one which is very emotional...but yess i would definitely call this one as being close to reality and real world...no bekaar ka rona dhona...
The title of the movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya actually carries a much unfathomable thought!! Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya which translates to "Will you cross the Skies and Come". For someone who is in love nothing other than the love for his/her lover matters! The story in the movie depicts how much importance love has in both Karthik and Jessie's lives. I am not here to crack the ending/story of the movie but by the end, the movie does leave everyone with this lingering thought. The movie shows the paths taken by Krthik and Jessie as something that very truly happens in real life. but the thought still lingers...Is there Love still in this world so true? so committed? having no strings attached to it? Are there still people who leave their skies (the lives they live, their families, their comforts, their relationships, their religion etc etc) and come for their love?
The thought provoking storyline of the movie is aptly teamed up with some really beautiful locations in the movie. The locations where the film has been shot are absolutely eluding...the nice play of the right lights and right background music over the beauty of the locations creates an overwhelming aura while watching the movie...it does take you to a near magical trip...esp the locales in Kerala are really breathtaking...and even NewYork looks exceptionally beautiful for the little part in the movie. I particulary like Jessie's house in Kerala and the way to her house...its so romantic...getting there in a boat...walking the lush green path towards the house...and the way the house is decorated on her wedding day is just too dreamy...it looks like the ultimately romantic house anyone would love to spend their life in!! i was glued to my seat entwining a story of my own...i could feel it as a story that many people in todays world will relate to!
Music of the film is superb...A R Rahman scores a big one for this movie..definitely from me he does! The Title song is rendering one...and one of my fave ones...its gonna be difficult to choose any ONE as the best song from the movie...but i personally like the title song then Omana Penne and then Hosanna and then Anbil Avan and Kannukkul Kannai (In that order). But i guess the best song from the movie for me will have to be Mannippaya. This song i guess is something thats the crux of the whole movie...amazingly done by Rahman. I did hear the songs of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya before also when my friends had hyped the music so much...but now after watching the movie theres a little more sweetness qoutient added to the songs!
I enjoyed watching the movie thoroughly and i am happy that i did watch this one...i wont call this as one great movie but i definitely did like the movie...and would call it as one of the few GOOD Tamil movies that i have watched till now.. :)
