'Vinnaitandi...' fails to strike a chord
There has been a lot of hype around the recent releases which set the curiosity meter up and a thumps up to the cash registers. As hype has it, the latest release Vinnaitandi Varuvaya stars Trisha and Simbu. The director of the film is on the A list, Simbu is doing his first subtle role, on and off mentions in the news and the excellent next gen, soothing to the ears music by A.R. Rahman.

'Maathi Yosi', nothing new
Maathi Yosi means "think differently". Hence, one expects something new in the film. Director Nandha Periyasamy's second directorial venture after Oru Kalluriyin Kathai (2005) does have something new in the form of backdrop, but it doesn't have anything new in the narrative.
Set in the backdrop of a Dalit colony, film portrays prevailing caste equation well. Four adolescent youths from a Dalit colony are full of mischief and looking for opportunities to pester others. They kill a lizard, a rabbit and rob a van passing through the village. Soon they become the targets of police for various crimes and ruptures.
