A Disappointing Continuation

This movie went through a lot of trouble before it came out. I remember a group of Ajith fans saying that he had no luck at all. And when it released it some how managed to survive the monsoon. May be because Simbu's so called romantic thriller chased people away to this one or there was something about the movie which made you want to see it. Anyway this is Ajith's best performance in years. he makes you forget the many poor aspects of the movie.The songs grow on you. I think the sentiment scenes worked really well with the audience. both the heroines have decent screen time. there are probably a few unwanted jokes placed in the movie. And yes i do not know what the title was all about ? but i give it 10 because i have never seen a movie single handedly saved by an actor.

I don't know if its the way the lead guy and his stupid friends see the group of helpful women as possible prostitutes or whether its Ajith Kumar's incredibly irritating screen presence or the director's total lack of judgment or the incredibly stupid title, that makes me think this is another of the really crappy movies that come from Tamil Cinema. The movie is incredibly bad, too bad that even A.R.Rahman couldn't save it with really lackluster music and songs, he cant be blamed though there was nothing to get inspired to make even decent music. Ajith was great during his "mugavari" days when he portrayed such a likable character. He is plain pathetic now. I don't even know why I waste my time writing him reviews.

There's a proverb in Tamil "Kannal kanbadhum poi. Kaadhal ketpadhum poi" It means, "Things u see with your eyes are illusions. Things you listen with your ears are all lies" This movie is like tat... Impossibly the worst movie...I saw this movie... The tile of the movie is "Godfather"... But, the story has no connection to the title at all... Guess, the director doesn't know the meaning for Godfather...TO ALL TAMIL DIRECTORS... BEFORE TITLING A MOVIE LOOK FOR THE MEANING IN THE DICTIONARY BEFORE DOING SO...

Varalaru is an good movie - It has the dubious distinction of failing at every imaginable level.Featuring Ajith in a triple role, Varalaru represents a combination of all the worst elements in Tamil movies.A pitiful story, horrible acting by Ajith, mediocre music, crude action scenes and juvenile comic interludes combine to deliver a stinging migraine to unsuspecting viewers.Varalaru is so bad that it can easily be showcased at film schools as an illustration of an egregiously bad movie.Ajith plays the role of a father Shivashankar and his two sons Vishnu and Jeeva. He overacts in all three roles but is particularly bad as the father. Ajith is only slightly better in the character of Jeeva, the vengeful young lad intent on killing his father whom he blames for his mother's madness.Apart from Ajith's acting (or is it non-acting), the other big weakness of Varalaru is its asinine story, which gives new meaning to the term bizarre.The totally unconvincing story dooms the movie from the get-go. It's weird to even conceive of a mother who harbors affection for her daughter's rapist.Then there are Varalaru's dialogs, which never rise above the banal.Asin plays the lady love of Vishnu but does not have much of a role. Which is a pity since the young girl is showing signs of becoming a good actress. Since the story revolves around Ajith's three roles, there is little scope for Asin to demonstrate her talents here.Music genius Rehman has failed to deliver the goods in Varalaru. None of the songs rise above the ordinary. Katril Oru Vaarthai is perhaps the best of the lot.Vishnu, the son of a rich businessman Shiva, generally likes to have a good time in the company of his friends. While visiting a village called Thottapuram on a social service mission, he meets a young girl Divya (Asin) and is smitten with her.Soon, the youngsters are engaged to each other and set to marry shortly.But things start to go terribly wrong for Vishnu soon. He commits various violent acts that he has no recollection of later. When Vishnu's violent behavior gets worse, his father has him admitted to a mental hospital.We quickly realize that the evil hand behind Vishnu's violent activities is actually his look-alike Jeeva.But why is Jeeva doing all those criminal acts and shifting the blame on Vishnu? The answer lies in Shivashankar's distant past as andancer who is jilted literally at the altar. Unable to bear the shock, his mother dies sending Shiva into a violent rage that leads him to rape the girl (Kanika) who jilted him.Although Kanika has a short role, the young lass shows that she can indeed act, a rarity in Tamil movies.All in all, Varalaru is awful to endure, rotten to contemplate and unpleasant to narrate
