C'mon lets chat about vallavanQuote:
Vallavan is one of the eagerly awaited movies of this year. Firstly it is the debut directorial venture of Silambarasan and secondly the huge hype surrounding the film. And then there is the reported affair between Simbu and Nayantra. There was also the reported spat between Simbu and Reema Sen. It all has added to film's mystique.
Silambarasan is also handling the story and screenplay. Though one could see his involvement as a director in Manmadhan, the credit was given to A J Muruhan.
Vallavan, produced by P L Thenappan, features three heroines - Reema Sen, Nayantra and Sandhya.
Not perturbed one bit of the pressure factor on the added responsibilities, Simbu says that he only tested the waters in Manmadhan. 'When you take the extra load on your shoulders willingly, there is no room to complain. As a story writer, I had a winning start in Manmadhan. Importantly, the viewers accepted it which was a victory for me. It has only increased my belief that anything told convincingly will strike a chord with the audience.'
Vallavan will be a gripping entertainer with youth as the focus. 'You could be assured of the twists and turns like in the earlier film. The audience will be able to identify with the characters. That, in essence, should make that importance difference.'
With three top of the line heroines in the cast, there will be no dearth of glamour and glitz.
There has been some healthy competition among Nayantra, Reema and Sandhya.
Another highlight of Vallavan is Yuvan Shankar's foot-tapping musical score. All the songs have won the people's admiration, says Thenappan.
Get ready to welcome Vallavan.

Silambarasan wears many hats in his first attempt as a director, writer, singer and hero with Vallavan, a glossy packaged youth mass entertainer. The stylishly picturised songs in music video style especially in the first half is a treat to your eyes. But Simbu’s story and screenplay takes the back seat, and the plot goes haywire as he tries to make a film on romance, friendship and obsessive love.
The first half is a rip roaring rocker! It is Simbu guide on how to romance. Vallan (Simbu) is a happy-go-lucky college student with a set of friends and Suchi (Sandhya) is his conscience keeper and supporter. Vallan meets Swapna (Nayanthara) and it is love at first sight. He realizes that Swapna is a teacher who is three years older than him. But he decides to woo her by turning into Pallan (Simbu) an ugly duckling with buck tooth and glasses.
Soon, after a couple of well-executed dramas, he makes Swapna tell him “I love you” and they end up in bed. But when Swapna comes to know that Vallan is younger to her and that too a student, she rejects him and decides to marry another guy. Meanwhile Vallan’s school days come back to haunt him. Geeta (Reema Sen) his first crush at school, later becomes a psycho and is obsessively in love with him even today! Geeta decides to make life more miserable for Vallan. Will Vallan marry Swapna, when Geeta is gunning for him after kidnapping Suchi?
Vallavan is loosely based on two Hollywood flicks-the romantic classic “The Notebook” and the thriller Swimfan about obsession, betrayal and revenge with a campus backdrop. The trouble with the film is that the screenplay plods in the second half to become a half-baked thriller where the Reema character is not well-etched out. Her deep love for Vallan, which subsequent leads to obsessiveness is not well-explained. And the last scenes of Geeta is in a mental asylum force us to think that more than a psycho, she was a mentally ill person!
But the strength of the film lies in the first half as Simbu is able to attract the attention of the youth and keeps you mesmerized with amazingly shot songs and Santhanam’s refreshing comedy and one-liners. The kissing scene and bedroom scene of Simbu and Nayan could have been more sensuously shot. Simbu projecting himself as a superstar (a la Rajnikanth) and the digs he makes at various Kollywood actors goes a little over board.
One of the major highlights in the film is Yuvan’s tangy music and background score. Loose Penne…. and Vallava… are picturised slickly. Yuvan works best with the younger lot like Simbu and Selva. Priyan’s camera and Rajeevan’s art work adds a rich look to the film. Editor Antony seems to have fallen asleep during the editing, as the film (3 hours 5 min!) is too lengthy and need at least 20 minutes of trimming.
Nayanthara virtually walks away with the film and has never looked so beautiful. She looks gorgeous especially in songs and does justice to her well-etched out role. Reeema Sen as Geeta gets a raw deal as her actions is not justified, though she does her psycho act to perfection. Sandhya in that walk-in role is cute. And finally the name is Simbu alias Vallavan. Watch him meld effortlessly from the cool dude to the romantic with an absolute knock-out performance and virtually holds the film together.
If you are looking for some wholesome entertainment, then Vallavan is worth your time and money.
Verdict- Paisa Vasool

I saw it. Simbhu did an god-awful job of ripping off Notebook & swimfan.
The problem is that it's too close to Manmadhan's storyline. Simbhu thought "hey, they liked me in that movie, let's rip of that plot...WITH A TWIST!" Mr. Thenappan, I can understand your angst against the man and you have EVERY right as well.
Yuvan's music is ok. I liked the theme and that's it. If you've seen loads of mass movies with mass songs, that's it basically.
10% Manmadhan, 90% adultery. It looks like Simbhu spent his budget on banging Nayantara scenes than the movie.
Avoid and go watch Godfather instead. Even E's Sci-Fi flick is only watchable thanks to Jeeva.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously, Thala has won once again. After owning Vijay in Pongal, Varalaaru takes a 90% opening everywhere in the regional states. Since Vallavan had opened on Sunday (remember Aadhi in Pongal?), it's gotten half the opening Varalaaru received on Friday. Also, Vallavan has gotten a mixed response as the women audience is displeased with the kissing/bedroom scenes intact.
So Ajith, congradulations. You've scarred off Vijay and now you've scared of Simbhu. More power to you!
WOW!
Awesome reviewsssss! :P I WANA WATCH IT SOOOOOONNN IN THE CINEMASS! :boo: :bluejump: :redjump:
hopefully i'll go to india next week and watch vallavan there in the cinemas :D or here in stupid copy! :cry:
:D :clap:

Simbu is identified for his statements in the industry more often than for multitasking prowess. He seemed to be on cloud nine for the fact that his production venture Vallavan has hit the theatres finally. Though the initial response for the movie is good, only as time goes can the movie be adjudged.
I have evolved as a director. I have presented my movie to match the likes of my fans. I would venture out to Hollywood and I have that ability, the confident Simbu declared. Our people have a taste of their own and I would cater to that. I would not direct my movies accommodating my likes and dislikes but would present them to the likes of my fans, he opined.
The height of the statement is to be noted: The combination of Rajini and Shankar will prove to be a colossal hit and my ultimate ambition is to break the records of Sivaji.
I do not mind even if it took me another 15 years but I would eventually become successful in surpassing the records to be created by Sivaji, Simbu added. Well, that is the spirit and we wish Simbu all the best to reach his target. We also wish that his performance outdid his statements.
__________________________________________________ ___
As much as any Rajini fan would hate Simbu for comparing himself for Rajini, I am trying to look at it in a different way here !!! Two great things ...
* Simbu's SELF-CONFIDENCE and his ASPIRATIONS to succeed ... The guy wants to WIN no matter what !!
* He's made Rajini as the BENCHMARK for success .. I think that should make any Rajini fan proud, and it proves Rajini is still the KING !!

advice: if u want to see varalaru and vallavan see vallavn before varalaru
I just watched VALLAVAN ... I think it's a DECENT movie, but I was expecting a lot more from Simbu, especially after his show in MANMADHAN !!! He has definitely done a lot of HARD WORK in comin up with this product ... But he seems to have done a lot of extra accessory work, and seems to have lost a little focus with the PLOT/STORY ... If only the storyline was as strong as MANDMADHAN, and with all the technical glitz, this movie would have easily become a BLOCKBUSTER ... Sadly, not this time it looks like !!
Here are some of the positives and negatives I can think of, as I go through the main components of the movie ...
Story - WEAK I thought ... This is the main drawback of the movie ... The second half seems to be stronger in this aspect with Reema Sen's entry ... But again, if the audience thinks the movie doesnt have much to offer by intermission, that movie has less chance of succeeding, no matter how great the second half is ... FIRST IMPRESSION BECOMES THE BEST IMPRESSION unfortunately !!
Screenplay - Again, the first half was like NEW, A AAH, or KALVANIN KAADHALI (if you know what I mean) !!! Simbu seems to have taken the first half too easily !!! The second half was FABULOUS, with the interactions between Simbu and Reema Sen ... The love, the challenges, the heated exchanges, etc, etc, were very GRIPPING !!! But there could have been some CONNECTIVITY to the main storyline ... I think Simbu like TWISTS in the screenplay a lot ... But unfortunately, it severely looked like BITS and PIECES here and there ... What is the core of the movie, Is it his love-story with Nayanthara? Or is it his friendship with Sandhya? Or is it Reema Sen's OBSESSION on him? He could have done a LITTLE better to connect these three major components both pre and post intermission to have had some CONNECTIVITY !!
Acting - Simbu is obviously turning out to be an EXCEPTIONAL actor ... So far, he's impressed me in three of his movies, MANMADHAN, THOTTI JAYA, and now VALLAVAN ... In many places, where he has to emote/cry or be comical, or be challenging, he ROCKS !!! No doubt ... The only thing that I dont understand abt him is that, Why is he using Rajini and Kamal's name sooo many times in the movie ?? Can't he avoid that ?? I mean, it's really not necessary if his goal is to come up with a GOOD MOVIE, rather than excite the audience to get some whistles or claps ... I think he will become an actor that NEED NOT use Rajini or Kamal's name, because he himself is soooo TALENTED !! The other acting performance was REEMA SEN !! Boy, I got scared many at times with her Chandramukhi/Neelambari/Anniyan characteristics !! But truly she deserves great applause as for her, this is prolly her BEST PERFORMANCE to date !! Everybody else did their job to perfection !!
Music - You all know how big a fan I am to ARR and lately Harris Jayaraj .. But I think Yuvan Shankar Raja is definitely a great MD too after this movie .. For me, it was first his MANMADHAN, then PUDHUPETTAI, and now VALLAVAN ... His songs are all fitting the LATEST TREND, and his BGM rocks like crazy .. I'm sure the YOUTH should be loving every piece of his work today !!
Direction - It's Simbu's product ALL THE WAY !!! Again, there is not an iota of doubt abt his TECHNICAL or DIRECTORIAL capability, except that in this case, he lost little track in the script ... But otherwise, he will become a PRIDE to Tamil movies soon !!!
Overall verdict - DECENT movie, Could have been MUCH BETTER !!
Disclaimer - All of the above is just my opinion ... To agree or disagree is upto the reader !!

Chimpu appears more versatile and multi faceted. But I don’t think he is as talented as he his making it out through his movies and self appreciative adverts. I reckon producers are giving him some extended freedom and trust ...
