It has been a week since I went to the theatre here in US to watch this movie. I know there has been a lot said and written and still being written about this movie. I just wanted to add my two cents. I tried to go through the names who had written to Behindwoods was surprised I could not find any name who I could relate as girl. Where are all my romantic girls? I can only guess that all the girls who have watched VTV have still not come out of the movie!

It has been 10 years since I married the person I fell in love with. Being born in families of different religions, me being a Christian and my husband a Hindu, we did overcome all obstacles to finally tie the knot. Real life does start from there.. Now working full time with two little girls aged 6 and 4, there is no time to look back at the good old days. All precious memories have been locked deep down the heart as we keep chasing time. I went to watch this movie as I heard mixed reviews, some said it was slow and some said spectacular. I need to confess, my time stopped there as I started watching the movie. Every scene I could relate to my past, I could see myself being hiding my emotions, being confused, being elated. Ever since then, I have been in my own little world walking down my memory lane, a path which I have not threaded for many years now after being lost in the mundane day to day routine. I don't think any other movie has touched me so much and made me part of the movie. The movie ended but I have not still come out of the movie.

Hats off to Gautham Menon.. not everybody can bring out the emotions of the character so well. Not everybody can make others be a part of something. It has to happen just like how love happens.. Gautham made it happen in VTV. His magical touch that has made everybody who has fallen in love to see themselves in the movie. Every scene is worth watching. Every emotion has been portrayed so well. It was like this magical movie and the viewers also get transformed into the magical world. The selection of locations were excellent and blended so well with the movie. Just an unbelievable work by Gautham Menon.. Keep the magic going!

Trisha and Silambarasan.. It was an opportunity to bring out the best out of them. Both were portrayed like the people next door. Both looked natural and could not have done a better job.

The other magical touch is the back ground music and the songs. Simply Superb... It helps you get lost in your world. The song Hosana is so great.. Words are not enough to describe the emotions that runs through you. I am not sure if the back ground music and songs complement the screen play or if it is other way around. Whatever it is, it just made me fall in love all over again.

The mixed review I heard about the movie being slow, I realized later are from people who have not had the opportunity to fall in love and really could not relate completely to the movie. Unlike the rest of the population who are mesmerized and have lost themselves after watching VTV and refuse to come out of the movie.

Gautham.. Thank you for making me stop and look back and experience the magic.

Behindwoods.. Thank you for helping me share my thoughts.

Cheers!!
