The writing gives you the sweetest slices of the life of Suriya starting from teens. Suriya gives his best by growing very naturally into the character’s age. The attention to detail and the acting gets big credit . From the moustache to the shoes everything in front of the camera really sticks to the timeline it is narrating. The Suriya in teens with his new growing moustache and touch of childishness in his eyes takes back into our teens and the same happens with other timeliness too. The college Suriya is with full of energy, playing the guitar, dancing to Ilayaraja’s peppy tunes(again a reference by the director to the vintage college movies of 80s and 90s) on cultural and frenzy flurting attitude again feels fresh and vintage as mentioned. The moments of true and first love in the train, Suriya inside his mind reminding about his Father’s love, Suriya playing his guitar for his girl at midnight in full compartment of sleeping passengers...all of these tick the right boxes of impress. The conflict in love,the painfulness in moving on from his broken relationship,the strength in the hero which leads him finally to a person that even the country feels proud of all these give a sense of fully grown characterization, as to say that protagonist has completed a full circle. This is great credit for writing cause you see that the story portrays that you need not be a superhero to have romance, action, drama and many other elements in your life and a common man ‘s journey is a spectrum of these shades.
The backbone of this is Suriya and his perfect coordination with his director and his immersive performance which takes the story to a different level. The music becomes a big success as the Score by Harris Jayaraj is like sugar which gets addicted once if it catches your ear. All the songs have the ‘feel good’ sound which feels new and does an ode to the Maestro Ilayaraja. It is this interesting element that the team has put in the movie of perfectly mixing the current times with the wonders of sepia of the 80s and ’90s. This actually gives both newness and the goldy old strength. The movie goes down only in its runtime as the narration settles at its own pace. The movie gets poor in terms of production quality at few points along with Camera and Edit which get all fussy and choppy very merely helping to restore the feel intact.
Ultimately,
These movies are very rare and deserve big thumbs up for its elements. It is a new paradigm in Indian Cinema

Vaanarum Ayirum is about the journey of a man from his teens to his noble 30’s and how the surrounding environment made an made spots on his way to become what he is today. It is the story of Suriya from his childhood days....to his time of maturity....and how his father Krishnan inspired him at every juncture to make Suriya the person he really likes to become. The ups and downs, the darkness and glee, the romance and crime ....all these aspects need to be seen on the screen to witness.
The Director Vasudev Menon blends in emotions with storytelling and he brings out a new shift from the commercial mainstream cinema. The Father-Son duo played both by Suriya gives a heart to the movie. The story is carefully sketched that the writing never tells you that the personas of Father and son are same, but they only show the similarity and inspiration of Jr from the Sr just highlighting “Like father like son “ shade. The elements like romance are dealt metaphorically and in a retro fashion signifying Gautham Menon’s inspiration from the ’90s and 80’s directors like Mani Ratnam and Balachander. Beauty is these romance and student saga feel fresh and at the same time vintage due to the inspiration. Its Director’s way of saying that he is the present and how his predecessors inspired him in the craft.The writing gives you the sweetest slices of the life of Suriya starting from teens.
