Yes, it was a very big disappointment from Gautam Vasudev Menon. There is nothing good in the movie except for the songs, cinematography and Surya's acting. I didn't see anything great in older Surya as the director explains so that he would be so very influential in his son's life. He loved a girl, proposed and married her. He had lot of debts in the family to an extent that his son graduates and solves all the problems. Smokes and drinks till he gets throat cancer but still he is portrayed as a God Father. That's stupid. There is no proper justification for the younger Surya to be inspired by his father. The movie loses its meaning in that itself.
Surya getting a 6 pack abs, donning different roles were all farce and nothing needed for the movie. Other than Surya, none acted well in the movie. Gautam has not yet found a proper replacement for Jothika, both Sameera Reddy and Divya Spandana suck big time. Simran could have done a lot better.
I do agree that there are very few movies in Tamil depicting a father-son relationship. One of them which I really liked was "Thavamai Thavamirunthu", directed by Cheran. If Gautam had seen that movie he would have definitely re-written the whole script of Vaaranam Aayiram. "Thavamai Thavamirunthu" was a movie in which I was able to identify myself in the character played by Cheran. It would be hard to believe that I cried continuosly for the last one hour of the movie. It portrayed the love between a father and son so very practically that you would cry instantaneously if you loved your Dad so much.
The bottom-line is it was a great performance by Surya and he deserves all the accolades he is getting. Script by Gautam has spoiled the movie and it got very boring at the climax. If you are a fan of Surya watch it once, or else don't waste 3 hrs of your life as I did.
