Vallamai Thaaraayo Movie Review


Seemingly inspired by Maniratnam’s Mouna Ragam, Madhumitha, who is making her foray into Kollywood as a director has dished out a melodrama, which portrays the emotional battle of a woman between her husband and lover.

While powerful dialogues and quick turn of events help the audience to stick on to the screen, a sense of dejavu too prevails, thus making them to feel like watching a megaserial on big screen.

However, the debutant director deserves pat for not coming out with a run-of-the-mill kind of movie with commercial compromises to cater to the needs of distributors and other stake holders of film industry.

Anand (Parthiban) and Nandita (Chaya Singh) are newly married. However, Nandita, who loves her aunt’s son is unable to forget him and wants to split with Anand. She obtains a divorce and begins to lead an independent life. But Anand sets out on a mission to convince her and start life afresh. Does he succeed forms the crux of the film.

Parthiban is tailor-made for the character. He deserves special mention for his witty dialogues and body language. Chaya Singh springs surprise by effeciently essaying the role. Srikanth plays a cameo.

Music director Bharadwaj has come up with a commendable performance in a couple of songs. On the whole, though Vallamai Tharaiyo has missed out some tricks on the entertainment part, the director’s commitment and hard work deserve a pat, considering the fact that she is a fresher.
