Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven Review

Since the screenplay has been heavily compromised for the sake of Simbu, we get a very watered down version of a Sundar C movie that tries to make ends meet!

Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven Review: A Very Watered Down Sundar C Movie

When I first heard about Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven, there was quite some expectation because the Sundar C–Simbu combo did sound interesting.

Sundar C is known for making commercial entertainers that do well in box office, and are as well received by the general audience.

Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven (VRV) is the remake of Attarintiki Daredi, a Telugu super hit movie.

2.4/5

We are not new to remakes or sequels, but not all of them live up to the standards of the original movies.

However, since this movie is directed by Sundar C, I had quite a bit of expectation. And I must say that I got let down!

The story of VRV is SO old. We have seen this story, and its variations, in many tamil films earlier.

Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven Review:

But for Sundar C, you don’t need an interesting or a complicated story line. He can take a very simple story and make it into a commercial hit.

It is sad to see that his formula didn’t work and his magic wand has utterly failed.

I can see the problem clearly though. It seems that Sundar C has made a lot of compromises in the script to add in the Simbu factor. And that’s desperately loud throughout the movie.

It is as if VRV has been made to increase the star value of Simbu and that didn’t work either.

We have Nasser who is a rich business man living in Madrid. He is unhappy because he had expelled his daughter Ramya Krishnan for marrying Prabhu against his wish.

But now we wants a reunion and Simbu (who else!) takes up the task. As you can see, the story is very, very old!

But is the screenplay interesting? Nah!

We have a handful of nice actors in the team, but all of their characters have been so underwritten and they have been wasted too.

Yogi Babu is the saving grace and he somewhat gets to make us laugh. The others including Robo Shankar, Mottai Rajendran and VTV Ganesh succeed in certain places in doing comedy .

We have quite a handful of unfunny comedy too – that really annoys us.

In the climax you have a sentimental scene that involves a conversation between Simbu and Ramya Krishnan – and while this works somewhat, we are too fed up already.

The songs are awfully placed and test our patience. Hip Hop Aathi’s music fails to compromise the screenplay. Neither the BGM nor the songs go well with the audience.

Stunt choreography is awkward. The way nature and Physics laws work are mocked in the fight scenes. Overall, this makes stunt sequences way too cinematic and over the top.

The heroines in the movie are just for the sake of having heroines and they are a nice excuse to have some colorful songs.

Catherine Tresa dances well. Megha Akash’s role is all about trying to grab attention with glamour. Beyond that she doesn’t get to make any performances.

The movie screams Simbu all the way and tries to project his “mass” value, but that doesn’t suit the script. As a side effect, the rest of the cast in the movie is underwritten so they don’t make any impact.

Having said that, Simbu fans will surely enjoy the movie as the mass factor of the hero is what the movie is all about.

At the same time, we could also see that Simbu is out of his physical form to match the mass build up in the movie (sadly, the costume and make up don’t help in covering this up).

Since the screenplay has been heavily compromised for the sake of Simbu, we get a very watered down version of a Sundar C movie that tries to make ends meet!
