I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I cannot understand...Simbu does not have any originality. ..He acts and copies Rajini's style, then copies Kamal's style .. then copies Vijay's style and then last but not least copies his dad's style. Does it mean he is more like a mimicry hero. ..who has no originality and just copies everyone...He wants to be like everyone and never wants to be like Simbu.....It is so annoying and boring to see the same crap. .. If the same portrait of Rajini, Kamal and Vijay are going to be always there, why see a dummy instead of a real one. Maybe Simbu should accept himself and act his own style instead of having no originality and copying everyone.Renu

Vallavan - Forbidden love Hats off to Silambarasan for continuing the good run of his Manmadhan in Vallavan. A triangular love-story with twists and turns has been brought out well by the actor-director. Vallavan has excellent cinematography combined with racy background score making it for engrossing viewing.Silambarasan occupies the screen all through, while Reema Sen has impresses all eve with her limited screen space. Nayantra and Sandhya do their best.However, the real hero of the movie has been Yuvan Shankar Raja. His peppy numbers and brisk musical score help sustain the momentum in the movie.Amidst campus candy floss movie, Simbhu has dished out a forbidden kind of love story that happens among school students.The movie begins with a college student Vallavan (Silambarasan) falling in love with a professor Sandhya (Nayantra). Desperate attempts to impress her succeed. But Vallavan hides the truth that he is a student and three-years younger to Sandhya. Later, Sandhya, coming to know the truth, decides not to go ahead with her plans to marry a youth, who is younger to her.Meanwhile a flash back reveals Vallavan's romance with a classmate Geetha (Reema Sen). A hysteric Geetha ensures that Vallavan runs crazy behind her. Coming to know of her true nature, Vallavan resolves to teach her a lesson.Geetha returns one fine day only to inform Vallavan that she was the one who played spoilsport in the affair between him and Sandhya to teach him a lesson. The remaining story is about attempts of Vallavan to marry Sandhya but with Geetha going hammer and tongs to prevent it.Silambarasan has utilized the opportunity well to glorify himself. He boasts himself uttering lengthy dialogues. But the man sure has oodles of energy and is a livewire all through.Nayantra plays his lady love. Sandhya as Silambarasan's friend has played her part well. Reema Sen, whose character resembles Neelambari of Padayappa, does what is expected of her. She even takes to arms to take revenge Silambarasan. She is, overall, very convincing.The rest of the cast including Santhanam, S Ve Shekher fits well.Priyan's cinematography deserves a mention. His lens has captured the song sequences well. As we said, Yuvan is the backbone of the movie.All told, Silambarasan has brought out the director well in him.For more details on the movie u can check it in his official fan club www.simbu.cjb.net or www.groups.yahoo.com/group/silambarasan-simbu

I went for the opening day screening of vallavan hoping to see another fantastic film after the smash hit manmadhan . However the film did not live up to my expectations . Poor plot . Poor acting . And scenes that were totally unnecessary spoiled the whole film's rank . A simple story with very exaggerated scenes which are too impossible to be believed . The only plus points in the film were the songs and Reema Sen's acting . Thumbs up for Yuvan Shankar Raja for his music but unfortunately , thumbs down for director cum actor Silambarasan . I really hope his next film AC by SJ Surya would be a better one . In a nutshell , one of the worst movies of the year and a total disappointment for all Simbhu fans and others who highly awaited such a film .Not really recommended . If you just want to pass your time , then watch this film . If you expect quality , then do not waste your time watching this film .

First of all I went for this film with no expectation. Until half of the film I don't know what this whole movie is about. Then Reema Sen's role introduced. Simbhu failed to convince us Reema as school student and she has an awful screen presence. The things Reema doing to check whether Simbhu is in love with her or not is too ridiculous and some time disgusting too. And Climax.... Just for sake of finishing the film and nothing much to say about it.The only thing which makes us relief is the music. Even the background score makes us think that something is going to happen next even though nothing interesting after that.Towards my point of view this film sure gonna loose some money because Simbhu spent more that he should. I read an interview of him that he will become the next "SHANKAR" and what I am saying is being "SHANKAR" means not dancing with more than thousand people around you. It is more than that.Simbhu should sit down and think more on developing the story than his screen presence as a director. I think even SUPER STAR RAJINI did not had such "Build Up"s than Simbhu in his films...Simbhu still have a long way to go and as a result he should TALK LESS.
