Goutham could have used all of Suriya’s efforts with a better narration

Nirmal

One can understand the director’s angst at losing a parent, and trying to make a film about the loss, but then the man’s (father) enigma never takes center stage throughout the film.

Probably the biggest drawback of the film. The narration of the film has been designed to follow a ‘classic approach’. Unfortunately, all the ingredients that go into the making of a classic are missing thereby making the screenplay stagnate at times to irritable proportions.

All films that have been successful in being called classics portray enduring human emotions that can be related with instantaneously. Goutham has most definitely missed the plot with ‘Varanam Aayiram’ giving more emphasis to incidents rather than connecting them well.

Surya looks like a million bucks all through

Gayatri

This is his Autograph albeit for a niche audience. Little details in the movie are so personal, like the father Surya calling his son Kiddo, or referring to himself as Dadda or just Simran and Krishna (the father) lying down next to Surya and holding him down. Its something we see everyday around us but so rarely on screen.
