LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

leabi_imh This movie is definitely a justified triumph for Surya and Gautham Menon. The whole movie doesn't drag AT ALL except A BIT in the last. Sameera looks really pretty with the work of the make up artists. The Camera Men also have worked extremely hard and hats off to Aascar films for producing this film. But the main part of the cast and crew who steal the show Surya and Gautham Menon and Harris Jayaraj whose melodies and rock are worth their weight in Gold. The songs, Adiyae Kolluthae and Nenjukkul Peidhidhum are worth listening a hundred times a day and so are Mundhinam and Oh! Shanti. Ana Mene and Ava Enna pictured after Surya loses his love are also excellently made except the background which could have been adjusted. Surya looks so smart in the army uniform and classy too! But Divya Spandana is not pretty at all but I guess this is her best...Other than that, the movie is worth 10 on 10 as a whole........Cheers to everyone!

john mcfly First of all its a Gautham Menon film,lot of ups and downs,twist and turns yet its totally different from all the other movies its a Masterpiece given by him,the story deals with a simple relationship between father and son,but said in a extraordinary way. Its a visual treat for audience gave by Surya and Sameera Reddy on one half- The brighter part of the film deals with the childhood days with his dad and most beautiful part of the film his love with Megnha ,and the movie turns dark when Megnha dies,and Surya goes mad couldn't bare her loss,he goes on 2 drugs,then once again his hero-Dad comes in his life changes everything around him,turns his negatives into positives creating him a major in the Indian ARMY.The best of the film are is memories with his father...THANK u Gautham Menon for giving this film its not just a film its a fragment of my heart..

arundathi This movie was well made with nice melodious songs. What I really like about this movie was that it showed how fathers are important as well. Most movies always talk about mother as the motivation and somehow portray the dad as military style attitude or just thrown in for show but this movie was all about a dad's motivation, a dad who was living and compassionate. As for the actors: They really created magic with this movie. Surya was amazing. He really dug into the characters' role equally. His expressions and flawless Hindi and Tamil made this movie very enjoyable as well as his dual role. His attitude kept changing so it held the audience's eyes. Sameera Reddy was also wonderful. Despite the limited screen time, she really made a strong impact. Simran was also great. It has been a long time since I have seen her and her presence made the movie pleasant. Divya Spandana was not bad at all. I felt that she was thrown in but there needed to be something to make the movie going. The songs were very nice and melodious. Although it was not very fast paced, the creative sounds made it worthwhile. Only negative thought: I really wished that there were subtitles so that we could understand what Hindi words were spoken. Overall, this movie had a little bit of everything: love, violence, adventure, music and it is a definite must watch.

jayanth baskaran 'Vaaranam Aayiram' tells the story about the life journey of a son who is positively motivated by his father and how he goes through emotions like love,passion,success and failure and how he is driven to search for himself in this challenging world..... the movie seems to have lot of similarities with the Tom Hanks starring Hollywood movie 'Forrest Gump' which is definitely and obviously a better version of 'Vaaranam Aayiram'....but,it is definitely considered as a very good attempt from the viewpoint of Tamil cinema as the music and cinematography of the movie takes Tamil cinema to the next level.....Surya's performance in the dual role as both father and son is mind blowing as he has delivered a complete performance.....Gautham Menon's smart direction, Harris Jayaraj's superb songs and background scores,Rathnavelu's brilliant cinematography are giant pillars carrying the movie in their shoulders.....a great story about the relationship between a father and a son.....'Vaaranam Aayiram' could have been more of a classic if the makers could have avoided compromise in certain aspects of the movie.....
