Vinnaithandi Varuvaya (VTV)

Every movie of Goutam shows that he is inspired from Mani ratnam. But my thought is he is not only inspired, but also following so many styles (concepts/facts) from Mani ratnam [Also frm so many foreign movies, lol]. Generally its a gud movie, but even so many scenes are same as like Gautam menon's previous movies. Ex. Church scene as Minnale, Love expressed scene as kaakha kaakha, trisha's style as KK Jyothika, speaks(dialog delivery) like Vettaiyadu Vilayadu Jyothika, fighting with Trisha brother like Minnale Abbas etc etc... Normally some scenes frm Gautam movies inspired frm other language unpopular films, but this time he is follwoing famous movies scenes like Lagaan's aamir khan proposing scene, KANK, Mani ratnam's Geethanjali (telugu), Alaipaythey, Mouna ragam etc. etc. etc.

Best parts,
1. A.R.Rahman's music
2. Gautam Menon's direction
3. Manoj Paramahamsa's DOP
4. Thamarai lyrics, Dialogs, Editing
5. Climax

Minus,
1. Lengthy dialogs
2. Repeating of same concept scenes
3. Logics
4. Gautam's usual style
5. Slow screenplay

Shreya Ghosal's another beautiful song in his career, A.R.Rahman & her combination is great. Mannipaya song is really awesome.
