After
a lukewarm outing in Sathyam and Thoranai,
Vishal attempts to play in a different
arena this time, with a different make
over, in a lighter romantic pitch with
three beautiful maidens to give him company
in Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai directed
by newcomer Thiru who has done a decent
job in his maiden flick.
TVP is about the romantic journey of Casanova
Vishal and the lessons that he learns
in his course. Vishal is the only child
of bank manager parents and is armed with
a different attitude. He wants only the
best in every thing and even for a purchase
of a cell phone, he goes all out to select
the best. He extends this attitude to
choosing his life partner and in the process
corners three women- millionaire Neetu
Chandra, Tanushree Dutta, sister of a
thug Prakash Raj and Sara Jane a middle
class girl and plays the game of love
with them to choose his wife. The twists
and turns Vishal encounters in his ‘mission-best-wife’
form the crux of TVP. |

Are options required for love? If so can you call
it love? Can women be portrayed in a negative vein
just because they are not able to marry their loved
ones due to circumstances? Thiru may attract the ire
of true lovers in these aspects.
Vishal makes an impression with his chiseled, well
toned body and uber chic costumes designed by sister-in-law
Shriya Reddy. The sequences where he gets trapped
with Neetu Chandra and challenges her later are appreciable.
Of the three ladies, Neetu Chandra makes an impression.
Prakash Raj does not have much work. Sneha makes a
surprise cameo.
Vishal and Santhanam’s comedy is enjoyable.
Although Mayilsamy and Sathyan join in the merriment,
Santhanam stands out in the humor department. The
scene where Prakash Raj comes to seek an alliance
is a rib tickler. Another sequence when Sara Jane
who is in love with Vishal enters his household unannounced,
carries on regular chores preparing coffee and serving
to completely bewildered parents of Vishal and later
proceeds to enter Vishal’s bedroom makes an
interesting and amusing viewing.
On the technical side, camera work by Arvind Krishna
is apt. Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai and Poo Mudal Pen
catch your attention in Yuvan Shankar Raja’s
music. Costumes are very stylish and suit the mood
of the film.
On the flipside, first half moves on a languorous
pace sometimes testing patience. Vishal's chauvinistic
antics may not be liked by certain sections of the
audience.
TVP is a film that can be enjoyed with friends on
a lighter note. Women may become extra cautious and
wary with men’s tricks and ways after TVP.
Verdict:
A few lessons on love!
