What more can I say?
ringslady1987-124 November 2006
I was expecting a sequel to Manmadhan(2004) and instead I feel like I'm watching the same film over and over again.

This is because Vallavan had a similar storyline to that of the recently released films Kedi, Thimiru, Nee Venunda Chellam. In the past we have seen Padayappa and the Hindi films Tumse Accha Kaun Hai & Uff...Yeh Mohabbat. All these films have something in common with Vallavan: the presence of a screen villi( Tamil slang for a female villain).

Female villains are more impressive as they use their brains and emotions rather than brawn to bring about the negatives in the screenplay. It takes more acting skills for female villains than the male ones. Hence, I seriously applaud ladies who have played vamp roles when they have done a good job.

After a swashbuckling screenplay in Manmadhan, Vallavan's script severely pales in comparison. But the film does have its plus points: cinematography, presence of a villi and best of all, Yuvan's wonderful tracks. 'Vallava' & 'Loosu Penne' are sweet romantic tracks. Reema Sen has done a great job as a villi.

High Expectations But Poor Results ......

Warning: Spoilers
I went for the opening day screening of vallavan hoping to see another fantastic film after the smash hit manmadhan . However the film did not live up to my expectations . Poor plot . Poor acting . And scenes that were totally unnecessary spoiled the whole film's rank . A simple story with very exaggerated scenes which are too impossible to be believed . The only plus points in the film were the songs and Reema Sen's acting . Thumbs up for Yuvan Shankar Raja for his music but unfortunately , thumbs down for director cum actor Silambarasan . I really hope his next film AC by SJ Surya would be a better one . In a nutshell , one of the worst movies of the year and a total disappointment for all Simbhu fans and others who highly awaited such a film .

Not really recommended . If you just want to pass your time , then watch this film . If you expect quality , then do not waste your time watching this film .

Beautiful school love story turned sour
redlipstick-8254120 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Character Geeta is little exaggerated in order to potray her as the main villian in the movie. Come on we all have some kind of toxicity in us. It can come on any form like attention seeking. Geeta is suffering from one such attention seeking behaviour. It is understandable to an extent. More than a point it is deliberately exaggerated to make her look like poisonous. Valla is a really caring guy. He loves Geeta very much until he couldn't tolerate Geeta narcissistic behavior. It could have been a better love story. Anyways Valla expressed his love for her very well during her struggling days. He really tried to work out this relationship.

Vallavan - Forbidden love
sag_hariharan8 November 2006
Vallavan - Forbidden love Hats off to Silambarasan for continuing the good run of his Manmadhan in Vallavan. A triangular love-story with twists and turns has been brought out well by the actor-director. Vallavan has excellent cinematography combined with racy background score making it for engrossing viewing.

Silambarasan occupies the screen all through, while Reema Sen has impresses all eve with her limited screen space. Nayantra and Sandhya do their best.

However, the real hero of the movie has been Yuvan Shankar Raja. His peppy numbers and brisk musical score help sustain the momentum in the movie.

Amidst campus candy floss movie, Simbhu has dished out a forbidden kind of love story that happens among school students.

The movie begins with a college student Vallavan (Silambarasan) falling in love with a professor Sandhya (Nayantra). Desperate attempts to impress her succeed. But Vallavan hides the truth that he is a student and three-years younger to Sandhya. Later, Sandhya, coming to know the truth, decides not to go ahead with her plans to marry a youth, who is younger to her.

Meanwhile a flash back reveals Vallavan's romance with a classmate Geetha (Reema Sen). A hysteric Geetha ensures that Vallavan runs crazy behind her. Coming to know of her true nature, Vallavan resolves to teach her a lesson.

Geetha returns one fine day only to inform Vallavan that she was the one who played spoilsport in the affair between him and Sandhya to teach him a lesson. The remaining story is about attempts of Vallavan to marry Sandhya but with Geetha going hammer and tongs to prevent it.

Silambarasan has utilized the opportunity well to glorify himself. He boasts himself uttering lengthy dialogues. But the man sure has oodles of energy and is a livewire all through.

Nayantra plays his lady love. Sandhya as Silambarasan's friend has played her part well. Reema Sen, whose character resembles Neelambari of Padayappa, does what is expected of her. She even takes to arms to take revenge Silambarasan. She is, overall, very convincing.

The rest of the cast including Santhanam, S Ve Shekher fits well.

Priyan's cinematography deserves a mention. His lens has captured the song sequences well. As we said, Yuvan is the backbone of the movie.

All told, Silambarasan has brought out the director well in him.

All round performance
subinseb29 September 2020
Simbu 's next multi talented performance showcases all his talents in one film. Manmadhan was the first from him, this is something beyond any other star's dream. He is a masterpiece

Excellent film
kalakkal_vignesh19 August 2006
An excellent film. Simbu has shown an extraordinary performance. The film deserves a 100 day run. The story is superb. I watched the preview show with my son in a theater. Nayanthra, Sandhya, Reemasen have performed well as per their roles. Especially Reema has done a good role in the movie. Some obscene scenes could have been avoided. Anyway it entertains us for 3hrs completely.

To actually say, this film shouldn't be watched by 15below.

The bottom line is simple. Simbu has performed his role without any congestion but he could have avoided the kissing scenes between him and nayanthara.

To say on the whole, A grade audience- good movie Saar! B grade- worth a while!!!... C grade- couldn't understand a bit!
