But, before we know it, Latha falls head over heels for Bose, and one wonders if she is still a minor. In fact, the story revolves around Bose Pandi and Latha Pandi, two characters that are brought together by love after the former saves the latter from getting married as a minor. I don't know if VVS genuinely addressed a burning issue with a pinch of sarcasm, but it subtly touches upon the rise in teen marriages in villages. In essence, is this what we as audiences want from our filmmakers. It's becoming unimaginably cliched yet we seem to be making his film reap gold at the box-office. For instance, he is jobless always accompanied by a close friend who is more or less of a sidekick and he gulps down his sorrow in the form of liquor. Siva's films have so much in common nowadays. Even when some of lines sound cliched, you tend to smile with the rest of the audience. Akin to the title, it doesn't disappoint even for a single minute. But, I don't see a point in blaming the film because it lives up to its purpose of entertaining audiences. Needless to say, VVS is an archetypal Sivakarthikeyan outing that rides high on comedy and low on logic, but it fails to leave a lasting impression. He may have scored four hits in a row, but clinging on to one's strength for too long is not always good. But, I feel it's time he shifts gears and moves on to different genre of films.
Without an iota of doubt, any regular Tamil cinema patron would agree with the fact that Siva's forte is comedy.
Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (VVS) is yet another Sivakarthikeyan flick that aimlessly treads a path almost all his films to date have been on. Review Varutha Padatha Valibar Sangam & earn 20 DM Points.* Review Submit
