Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Redundant and unnecessary.
A lot of fun.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
I don't know if its the way the lead guy and his stupid friends see the group of helpful women as possible prostitutes or whether its Ajith Kumar's incredibly irritating screen presence or the director's total lack of judgment or the incredibly stupid title, that makes me think this is another of the really crappy movies that come from Tamil Cinema. The movie is incredibly bad, too bad that even A.R.Rahman couldn't save it with really lackluster music and songs, he cant be blamed though there was nothing to get inspired to make even decent music. Ajith was great during his "mugavari" days when he portrayed such a likable character. He is plain pathetic now. I don't even know why I waste my time writing him reviews.
The movie is really good due to Ajith's excellent performance in the role of a man with feminine character.Since most part of the movie is shot when Ajith was during the period of reducing his weight, his looks are not same throughout the movie. This is really intriguing in the flow of the narration. K.S.Ravikumar is in his usual stuff taking the plot of prostitution for the romance of the lead pair. A.R.Rahman's songs are hummable and good to watch.Overall Ajith's performance raises this movie and it lived to its expectation and the long wait was worth.
Varalaaru aka Godfather is an awful movie, with a thin story. The only reason for casting Asin in the movie is the songs. Kanika's role is even worse and she hardly has anything to do. (It's intriguing to see why a young girl would agree to act as the mother of a 35 year old actor!!!) Lousy story.. frivolous characters.. sudden duets.. all of these leave the viewer wondering when the movie is going to end, and not how. Considering that even A.R.Rehman's songs are bad, there really is nothing that could keep you in your seat till the end.The only thing tolerable in the movie is Ajit's performance - he has put in effort to portray different characters, and he has done it quite reasonably well.If you have the patience to sit through this movie, do listen carefully to the last dialogue in the movie. It is the only indicator to why the movie was named 'Godfather' in the first place.Verdict - it really is awful. Please don't try to watch it except if you are an Ajit fan.
ajith has come with a refreshing movie and although it has a weak story yet it was entertaining. Looking at three ajith was good. Twin son and a father seems old trick but was given fresh injection by KS Ravikumar. Any movie by KS RAvikumar, one can hope for a very entertaining past time. The movie starts a bid slow at the beginning but once you start to confuse why the son is doing all the crap then it takes off. Enjoyable.Ajith really brings out his act especially on the soft character. An entertainment movie for all except for some rape scenes. Definitely a go for Ajith's fan. Plus look out for the final scene after the director say goodbye. tells you a lot of hidden story.
