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.
