VV-YET ANOTHER MILESTONE FILM IN INDIAN CINEMA FOR SEVERAL REASONS

Another role,another director,another script,another...........thats what it is for the Legend of our times the Paramakudi born Kamalhaasan. Now Dr.Kamalhaasan,he has came out with a subdued yet scintillating performance in VV. You want to ask why Kamal didnt get a director like Gautham earlier.Technical brilliance is what the film is all about. Too much of gore and blood, yes . But, thats the way it has to be shown. If we have to keep making movies for the masses then indian cinema will never move forward.
Notable points in this film are one,kamal's acting, yeah its difficult to beleive he has acted, its only DCP Raghavan all the way from frame one to end. Second we have this director called Gautham who has bought out this product so well, the way he has directed a legend shows his calibre. i wonder if any movie has ever depicted scenes so boldly. boldness is mistaken for skin show. rather such scenes of rape and brutality need even greater boldness because skin shows will sell but there is always a tag attached to this kind of violence and gore and it can backfire as well. there are no lousy dances or stunts in this movies. no flying in the air and kicking heroes and stuff. the item number could have been done away with. neither did it have the right tune to rock nor was the video so jaw dropping . in a way such kind of exposures have become very very boring. in recent times i wonder if we have come across an actress who has come so close to stealing the show , as jo. she is yet another plus , sans glamour and passion she has done a brilliant job and its a pity that this one is going to stop after her next movie. the villan part is overdone a bit . nevertheless the way they are shown as homosexuals in the end will explain why in several scenes they keep crying each others name. Harris needs to tune up ...he has to learn the art of silence probably from the mastero raja or arr . certain scenes are jarring . otherwise the songs are a real class apart. the whole film has an aura of maturity surrounding it probably because of the lead pair kamal and jo. camerawork is another hero of the movie. goodwork ravi! new york couldnt have been shown better i guess.
prakashraj,kamalinee are excellent portrayals, perfectly etched and not a bit overdone.some of the scenes such as kamal meeting kamalinee in a marriage and making a proposal does make u smile. so does the other one in the restaurant between kamal and jo wen she asks y this manirathnam style of begining.a bit of humour here and there too.
as my title says its a milestone movie for the quality of workmanship. wat else do u expect from kamal and gautham. we want this team again, on an offbeat track.
kudos to raviverman,jo,kamal,gautham.
go for it .
likely to be the movie of the year according to me.
vennilave - song of the year.probably kamals filmfare awards will grow from 18 to 19
