Why not Gautham?

Gautam Menon, one of the rising star - directors in the tamil film industry according to journalist's rating. For me, he is one of the most stylish film makers.I have a small doubt if Gautham is really giving his best, he can actually but he is just trying to make a mark in the Kollywood.

When I was a school student, I watched the movie 'Minnale', awesome love story explained with the college masala. The way he portrayed love was awesome. During the time of Minnale i was a sincere school student but I knew something about love thats it. I think I was in higher secondary grade and dreaming about my future college days after watching Minnale. I dreamt in my own way about my college life.

My expectations for Gautham's next venture rised to its peak. His next venture was Kaakha Kaakha, Surya and Jyothika combination's best ever hit. " An episode in policeman life" was the tagline of the movie, a racy action movie Surya playing the cop role. But even in that action movie gautham portrayed the love between Maya(Jyothika), a school teacher and Anbuselvam (Surya) ,policeman in a superb manner. It had really powerful dialogues for love, Believe me!.

Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, his 3rd venture with the tagline " An another episode in policeman's life" , its again a racy action thriller with Kamal playing the cop, Jyothika and Kamalini Mukherjee playing the female leads. Even in that thriller movie he showcased the love between Kamal and Kamalini, Kamal and Jyothikha as a poem. The dialogue when Kamal expresses his love to Kamilini and to Jyothika after Kamilini's death were splendid and wonderfully delivered.

His next venture Pachaikili Muthu Charam had Sarath kumar playing protagonist. Its a different kind of thriller movie. In this movie he tells about the love and affection showed by a wife even after her husband betrayed.

In all his 4 ventures he explained the love between protagonist and his female lead as a wonderful poem. He never failed in expressing love on the screen. But in all in his ventures expect Minnale, love was overshadowed by action.

In his latest venture Vaaranam Aayeram, he was saying that he expressed the father-son relationship in great manner. Its a splendid performance from Surya, no one will have second thought on it. I watched the movie twice in a span of one week in theatre. Rather than expressing the Dad- Son relationship, once again he gave his mark in expressing love between Surya and other female leads ( Simran. Sameera and Divya). Simran is female lead to father Surya and other 2 were love girls to son Surya. The story revolves around the son. But the way Gautham handled love in that movie was splendid.

When Surya expresses his love to Simran in auditorium , expressing his love to sameera in train, and to divya in military academy.... We have no words to explain. Its all the performance from surya but its Gautham who brought it from him. Actually the movie have mixed reviews from all section of people but everyone is praising the movie for those romantic scenes.

All my readers may be wondering why i explained the gautham's filmography simply. Ya you are right, nothing big, I just discussed about his filmography to one of my friend sometimes back. At that time, I thought of posting a blog, why not Gautham Menon go for directing few romantic movies since he portrays love in excellent manner. Why he is not giving his best which comes naturally from him? this kind of question arised in my mind. Just thought of sharing with you. Please give your comments on this. Why not gautham go for romantic movies?

Because recently gautham commented few Stars' movies and Star directors' products. Before commenting others and thier products he should be clear in his point. Its jus my opinion. No offense post you review on the theme.

Thanks for your patience in reading my blog...............

Romance as a film is something different from romance as apart of the film...Rite now Gautham is doing wat he s best at- Potraying love in a poetic way when youare in between something entirely different...We cant say the same feel may arise in a full length romantic movie...

buddy.. the narration s really good.. the best part of Gautam's movie s te way he treats the actress on the screen.. Sameera reddy s a hot chick n Hindi movies but he portrayed her as homely gal. i think romance should be a part of te movie.. kakka kakka, vettaiyadu vilayadu,PKMS or Varanam ayiram all this movies r romance movie too,.. if u r claiming himself as action movie director., pls c "A wednesday" movie.

maybe he is scared that he wont be able to sustain the romance in the movie . thats y he introduces it in small proportions because it makes the movie good :)

nayana said...

hmm..I dont kno...all those rom.scenes in these movie were wonderful 'cos they all were given in optimum amounts..if a full length movie with just sappy rom. scenes as in kamalini-kamal hassan in 'vettayadu vilayaadu'..i dnt thk many ppl cud stand it(including me!!)..hope no offence..
