Durga,
Thank you for those two songs, love them. Shreya Ghoshal sang Mannipaya, and ARR got someone else to do it in hindi, just doesn't sound the same. And I loved Vaaranam aayiram, Surya was great. You know the father character he played is shown as a malayali and they also mention a home town. It is actually Gautam Menon's hometown (or his father's) and ALSO mine! A bit of trivia for you !😆
Vinnaithandi varuvaaya, I liked because it didn't follow the conventional route, the boy and girl didn't come together, the girl is older than the boy. A cousin of mine is married to a Christian girl, and they didn't have an easy time in the beginning, with her family. So I could totally get what he showed in it. And I thought Simbu and trisha did a good job, haven't watched any other movie of theirs.
I haven't watched Sadma, just assumed its the dubbed version of the tamil.
