Movie Preview Posted on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 | 0 comments

Vaanam is the remake of the Telugu superhit action-drama Vedam, directed by Krish. Silambarasan plays the lead in Vaanam that also has an ensemble star cast including Bharath, Anushka Shetty, Saranya, Vega, Jasmine and Prakashraj. Vedam was a critically acclaimed action drama when it was released in Telugu. Vaanam focuses on the theme of organ trafficking and hence has a point or two to make in terms of messages.

Vaanam’s casting has undergone various changes before the launch of the movie’s shooting. It was said that Anushka will not be a part of the movie, after which Taapsee was approached for playing the role. However, Anushka came back to the movie to re-enact the role she did in Telugu. Sneha Ullal was also supposed to have had a significant role in Vaanam but she was given the elbow subsequently and was replaced by Jasmine.

Yuvan’s music has become the talking point for Vaanam what with the Evan Di Unna Pethan song topping the charts with its most irreverent lyrics in the recent past in Tamil. While scoring this dance number, Yuvan also seems to have been inspired from the latest pop hits, infusing bits and pieces from popular songs in Evan Di Unna Pethan, sung by Silambarasan. Venus Music, following the popularity of the song, expressed its wish to produce a music video in Hindi to be telecast in Hindi channels.


This song will be called Kaun Hai Baap Tera in Hindi and will have Silambarasan crooning for Yuvan’s music.

Vaanam’s sound track has 5 songs with Srikanth Deva lending his voice, associating with Yuvan for the first time. Silambarasan plays the role of Cable Raja and Vaanam’s story is said to touch upon the five natural elements of the universe namely sky, air, water, fire and earth. The movie will essentially be a string of short stories connected to each other culminating into a climax.

Vaanam is releasing this weekend in theatres by Dhayanidhi Azhagiri’s Cloud Nine movies. Vaanam’s cinematography is handled by the acclaimed Nirav Shah. Vaanam will be Silambarasan’s next after his hugely successful romantic movie VTV.

Anushka plays the female lead in this film. Sonia Agarwal, Bharath, Vega, Jasmine and others also share the screen space in this film.

Music Review Posted on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 | 0 comments

Simbu's Vaanam is one of the much-awaited summer releases in Kollywood. The story revolves around five people who meet in the climax of the film due to unforeseen circumstances. Vaanam also has Anushka, Bharath, Vega, Prakashraj, Sonia Agarwal, Jayaprakash and Ganesh in prominent roles. Every time Simbu teams up with Yuvan, you can expect an explosive album in the offing! And this time too there, is no difference; so here we bring you an exclusive music review of Vaanam!

The album begins with the energetic 'Evan Di Una Pethan' which is already topping the charts. The song is rendered perfectly by Simbu; Yuvan's English raps in between form another major highlight. Music director Yuvan Shankar Raja has made the song very peppy by using heavy beats. Apart from singing, Simbu has also penned the lyrics for this simple and colloquial song.    
 
Then comes the desi 'No Money No Honey', a typical 'kuthu' number. Srikanth Deva, Andrea and Simbu has rendered this peppy dance track. It is a mass kuthu number likely to be picturised on Simbu and Anushka. However, the music is too loud and dominates the lyrics.  

Next is a solo number 'Vaanam' rendered by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The song is likely to appear in bits and pieces throughout the film. When the guitar strumming begins, you already know this track's going to stay on 'repeat' for a while.

Benny Dayal has crooned the fast-paced, energetic 'Who I Am'. Check out for some amazing instrumentation from Yuvan in this track. This angry track is likely to appear when the hero gets frustrated on life. The opening of this song reminds us of 'Uriyin Uriye' from Kaakha Kaakha. The heavy drum beat and catchy lyrics will definitely attract many young listeners. 
 
'Cable Raja' is likely to be the intro song for Simbu (as he plays the role of Cable Raja in the film). Abhishek and Lawrence have sung this mass number. We are already expecting some electrifying dance moves from Simbu in this track

Vaanam on Cloud Nine Posted on Friday, March 4, 2011 | 0 comments

Yes, literally Silambarasan should be on Cloud Nine as his latest flick Vaanam has been taken up by one of the major productions and distributions houses in the business today, Cloud Nine Movies. The talkie portions of Vaanam are through and the wait is on for the audio launch which will be announced shortly. The single from this album was already launched a few months ago and this has raked up the expectations for the other songs which are also set to tune by Yuvan Shankar Raja. With Vaanam in Cloud Nine’s hands, the promos for this film will certainly reach every nook and corner for sure. The film is directed by Krish and also stars Anushka and Bharath.

Two songs from STR Posted on Saturday, February 26, 2011 | 0 comments

Vaanam’s audio launch is scheduled to be held on March 6th, 2011 and music buffs are waiting with bated breath as the music for this album is scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who belts out the best for Silambarasan. The single released from this album a few months ago – Evan di unna pethan – turned into a chartbuster, it may be mentioned here. In the album that is to be released, there are seven songs, sources say, and out of these two songs have been sung by Vaanam’s hero Silambarasan. Vaanam is directed by Krish and has Anushka playing Silambarasan’s lead pair in it.

Sneha Ullal out of Vaanam Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 | 0 comments

Sneha Ullal was roped in as one of the two heroines in the Silambarasan-starrer Vaanam. But now we hear that she is not a part of the film and debutant Jasmine has stepped into her shoes. The decision to cast Jasmine in place of Sneha was apparently made in the last moment, as the film itself is gearing up for release in April. Though there is no clear reason given as to why Sneha was replaced, it is being said that replacement was very easy as her role was a very short one. Director Krish did not have any qualms over re-shooting some of the scenes with Jasmine due to this, sources report.
