As the name suggests, VVS had nothing great to offer but a bunch of funny scenes paired with some well-timed comic punches that was packed and delivered through Sivakarthikeyan and Soori, who are beginning to hog the limelight in Kollywood through feel-good movies that are light and entertaining.
Story of VVS is set in a village down south and is about a bunch of loafers headed by Bose Pandi (Sivakarthikeyan ) and Kodi (Soori ) who like cheap publicity and false admiration. They lock horns with the village headman Sivanandi (Satyaraj) over some trivial issues concerning the village festival, but end up bringing his daughter’s marriage to a halt. So sparks start flying between the two gangs and what results is a comedy riot that keeps you somewhat engaging for the rest of the movie.
VVS had a straight-forward agenda to make the audiences laugh and so debutant director Ponram has banked heavily on comic dialogues written by his mentor director Rajesh, who is known to deliver such stuff. A little thought on delivering a solid script would have made it a much more engaging affair. The film at large looks to be entertaining, but limps badly in the middle due to a hollow storyline that had no clue on where it was heading and lacked logic as well.
Sivakarthikeyan did his usual stuff in a usual role that can be labeled as ‘boy-next-door’ in every possible way. I get the feeling that he is too obsessed with this image that he is caught in a mini ‘image-shell’ right at the beginning of his career. This might appear to be an advantage for him now, but if he doesn't start experimenting, this might become a hackneyed one for him which he might find quite challenging to cast away.
The heroine, Sri Divya had a charming appeal, looked bubbly and looks promising for such small-town girl’s role in the future too. But I doubt whether she could play a variety of roles.
Satyaraj was amazing as Sivanandi. Though he appeared to be serious for the most part, the guys surrounding him as his sidekicks sparked the humor every now and then.
Soori was there to support the comedy department and he tries to bag those roles that spills away from Santhanam's already overflowing kitty.
Cinematography was nothing great but went with the flow and did not harm the vision at any point. Editing could have been better and a song could have been trimmed along with some unwanted scenes. At a little over 2:30 hours the film appeared to be quite dragging.
Music by Imman was above average. ‘Oodha colour ribbon’ has become a runaway hit, primarily due to its lyrics and catchy tune. BGM did not have a great role in this movie.
The movie has comedy, romance, some sentiment and some emotions - a masala on a plate with a weak story line which could have been much better.
Rating: 2/5
Verdict: Average
