Before starting off with my review,I've to say that this movie is THE best performance by the lead actors Simbu and Trisha till date. It is also one of Gautham's and Rahman's best.

I can say that there hasn't been such a light,romantic and feel-good entertainer for the past decade in Tamil cinema.

Jessica(Trisha),a Malayali Christian and Simbu(Karthik),a Hindu live inside the same compound.When Simbu sees Trisha for the first time,he falls for her.But Trisha isn't quite comfortable citing her father's(Babu Antony) non-acceptance as the reason.They try to continue as friends and things change over gradually...

Karthik's friend,Ganesh has donned the comic cap and his one-line dialogues makes you burst into laughter. K S Ravikumar who does a cameo role cruises with ease.

Gautham has come up trumps with his maiden romance flick.He has done a perfect casting and all credits go to him.Kudos to Nalini Sriram,the costume designer as the outfits had been light-colored with a classy urban touch.Art Director Rajeevan is an as'set' for Gautham as he has done a fabulous job. Be it the heritage boat-house or the interiors of Ganesh's house,he has done it with perfection. Music composer A R Rahman has given his best and all songs are chart-busters and they'll surely be this year's top picks. His BGM gives a lively feel and goes down well with the romance.Gautham has given extra freedom for Rahman and ARR has utilized it well. The choreography of 'Hosanna' resembles Gautham's earlier flicks and that gets you a bit boring.

Overall,VTV is an awesomely well-made romance movie.It is light and can make up your weekend if you watch it with your loved ones.

TWO THUMBS UP for VTV!!!!

Rating:4/5 :)
