SURYA HAIRSTYLE IN VAARANAM AAYIRAM SERIES
Then there is the problem of the film’s three hours running time that causes the film to drag on to its ‘happy end.’ The film, though structured as a series of Major Surya’s flashbacks, succumbs to the usual problem that Indian cinema faces – of going neutral to give you the ‘complete’ story. However, the film could well have done without the koothu music number where Surya goes hysterical as he remembers Meghna even if it does move the narrative forward as we see Surya’s descent into drugs.
As does Adiyae Kolluthey through which we see his budding relationship with Meghna while Annul Maelae brings out the tender and mature romance between Priya and Surya, nicely contrasted with the exuberance between him and Meghna. For instance the Oh! Shanthi Shanthi song works really well as Surya reaches San Francisco and through the song traces out Meghna. The songs, normally a strength of mainstream Tamil cinema, are generally nicely picturised and it must be admitted here that it is refreshing to see songs depicting emotions and small moments between the characters and having some story progression rather than standard frontal long shot dance movements. Of course, this allows for scenes of Surya to get into drugs and then having to recover through harrowing scenes of withdrawal and no doubt Suriya has performed them well enough, but they loosen the narrative. For instance, considering the relationship the father and son share, you find it odd that the father leaves Surya totally to himself following his return to Chennai after Meghna’s death. Further, too many sequences are totally geared up towards blatant commercial elements of mainstream cinema (Suriya taking off his shirt just to show off his body much too often and unneccessarily) and obvious performance scenes for the actor, which also tend to take away from the narrative. They appear at times to think in terms of shots rather than scenes and story and thus the film lacks a overall narrative cohesiveness.
It appears that the newer lot of Tamil directors overdo the stylish aspect overlooking content. Otherwise, the loose screenplay and meandering storyline doesn’t help even as the film tries to pack in too much for its own good.Īdmittedly, the film, said to based on director Gautham Vasudev Menon’s own life and feelings when he lost his father, is stylish and polished technically but at the cost of storytelling at times. His absolutely rivetting performance(s) lifts the otherwise very so-so film several notches and makes for extremely engaging viewing.
SURYA HAIRSTYLE IN VAARANAM AAYIRAM MOVIE
The success of the movie was such that any police officer with the handlebar and fascination for Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses was dubbed ‘Singam.Vaaranam Aayiram is unthinkable without Suriya’s brilliant double act of father and son. After the release of the film, the popularity of the handlebar moustache sort of skyrocketed, thanks to the actor. The 2010 cop film, written and directed by Hari, showed Suriya as a dynamic and hot-headed officer.
The actor looked uber-cool as a globe-trotting, who smuggled things into India from across the world, just for the thrills. To pull off this role, he had to look ultra-fit, which he did and how.ĭirector KV Anand’s playful movie about an intelligent and good-looking young smuggler remains one of the biggest hits in Suriya’s career. He played the role of a 6th century Tamil monk Bodhidharma, who is touted to be the main reason for the creation of the Shaolin Temple in China. Suriya’s washboard abs in the 2008 film inspired many youngsters to take their fitness seriously.ĭirector AR Murugadoss’ sci-fi drama again allowed Suriya to experiment with his looks. To play an army officer, he gained all his weight back in muscle to look the part. To fit the role of a teenager, Suriya lost massive weight. Director Gautham Menon’s film showed Suriya in different stages of his life - from a teenager to an old man suffering from cancer.
