Vandhan Vendraan Story:
Arjun (Jeeva) comes to Mumbai in search
of a notorious don named Ramanna (Nandha). Finally he achieves his goal
and gets a chance of meeting Nandha. Arjun soon turns as a close
supporter and reveals the reason behind his meeting. In fact he tells
Ramana about his love story and how he fell for Anjali (Taapsee). He
also conveys to Raman that his marriage with Anjali will only happen if
he surrenders himself to the police. By knowing his demand Ramana
supporters tries to kill Arjun. The story gets a twist, when it is
discovered that Arjun and Ramanna are siblings.
What did Ramana do on knowing Arjun is
his brother? What is the link between Arjun’s wedding and Ramana’s
arrest? The rest of the part should be seen on big screen.
Performances:
Jeeva has given his
best performance yet again. He blows your mind away with fine expression
and impressive dialogue delivery. He had presented himself in
larger-than-life image, thus ensuring few more female fans joins his fan
club. The action scenes done by him are good.
Taapsee is a surprise
package and she has shed some weight for her role when compared to
Aadukalam. As an architect, she is wonderful in communicating her
aspirations. She guarantees glamour quotient in the flick but her lip
sync during few scenes went wrong.
Nandha is one of the assets in the film as he looked cool as underworld don. Undoubtedly he has done justice to his role.
Santhanam as usual has tickled the funny bones of the audience. The rest of the characters are okay and performed well.
Technicalities:
Director R Kannan has tried to give his
but as the story progresses he had lost the grip over screenplay; the
movie could have appealed the audience if the story has been novel. The
presentation is not up to the mark.
PG Muthiah cinematography is good and
his picturisation is one of the highlighting factor. He has beautifully
captured the lead stars on his lens in songs.
V. T. Vijayan’s editing is okay while
screenplay is good in bits and pieces, and offers some boring moments as
well. Dialogues are well-written.
Music by Thaman is impressive; especially Anjana Anjana and Kanchana Mala are very good. The background score is also apt.
Analysis:
Director Kannan tried to lace action
with romance but due to lack of novel script and taut screenplay,
Vandhan Vendraan failed to live upto the expectations. Though the first
half of the film was handled well with romantic and love scenes, the
second half and especially the climax played a spoilsport. The story
moves on a predictable note which takes away the interest of the
audiences and creates a kind of boredom. But then, the film has been
handled well in parts. Over all, the film can be rated as average
achiever.
Quick Take: Vandhan Vendraan is no where equivalent to its title!!!
