Strictly personal opinion. I felt it was just style over substance, which is backed by a good score. Not saying it's bad, but I actually feel Tamil directors should focus more on good stories rather than writing an average story and pumping in some good scores to cover that up.

This is great. We started this sub with nothing. And I'm happy to see new people joining everyday buuutt -

As a mod and as one of the guys who started this sub, I'm not a fan of the direction this sub is heading towards and I barely use Reddit nowadays so whenever I open Reddit I always see these low effort, borderline PR posts and it really makes me sad. We made this sub so we can discuss not just Tamil cinema, but World cinema, in general but it's borderline turning into a Gossip sub and turning into a mainstream sub like the other one.

We already did this before and got decent response but I'd really like someone who's ready to take care of the sub and really control the quality of the posts here. So, if there's anyone willing to take care of this sub, then please leave a comment here or maybe DM one of the mods. Thanks and cheers.

If possible, leave a comment saying how you'd like to handle the sub so we'd know

Am I the only one for whom VAS totally didn’t work?
I see a lot of opinions where people rave about the first half but dismissive of the second half

For me personally, I felt like it was a mush of just filler scenes that had no context to it.

Like it didn’t matter at all that Surya is an Olympic medalist.
The scene with George Maryan had absolutely nothing to do with the plotline.
The baby should’ve been a central character but was just used as a prop to engage with.
Although Surya’s rendezvous abroad was dealt with maturity, it had no give or take to the storyline except deep into the second half where Surya jokes with Nasar about having an affair.
Mamitha’s character started off with a lot of potential but felt like Venky forgot what the character was when he set out to write her in the first place.
Radhika was phenomenal no doubt but her character was rarely given time to show different shades before her exit.
And let’s not get into the plot where having the second wife while still being married to the first one is normalized. Surya’s anger towards the second wife’s family and his dad made strong sense and voila all of it is gone in the second half.

Overall I felt like this was Surya’s version of Vaarisu. Sorry not sorry
End of rant
