Varnam Aayiram

Varnam Aayiram (Tamil, released 2008)

Surya stars in this movie, which is about a father/son relationship. Surya plays a double role both as the father and son and he is done a good job. Story about a Dad who is more like a good friend to his son. The son grows up, falls in love with a girl, goes abroad, comes back all disoriented and so on. Though there is no real suspense, I won't ruin anything by telling you anymore.

The story naturally has a lot of touching moments, so get ready to feel choked up quite a bit. But it is nice movie, defenitely watchable. One of the best father/son (or sons) movie I have ever seen was Cheran's Thavamai Thavamirundhu, this one comes pretty close.

One of the most anticipated movies in 2008, watchable for sure.
