Strengths

Captain of the team ..Sargunam needs a pat for making the movie without compromising to the commercial aspects of dream song, violence, kuthu songs, punches, flying stunts, crass comedies.....none of them is there still the movie is perfect entertainer with a strong message dedicated to the child labor...He is in all praise for making the movie in 1966..worked /analysed all the aspects..sets, costumes,locations, buses, people, language ..poor inncocence..and not to forget has the originality..Kudos to him shines in all the departments..

Vimal has come with another unforgettable role of teacher and done with ease...got in middle of villagers...his scenes with Iniya....climax ..well deserved . Equally brilliant is Iniya..the heroine with dirty shade tea-shopper..be it fights with vimal or proposing love to him..getting stranded....pattai kilapitaga!!!!!!Iniya has ability to be important actress in Tamil industry(beware of scripts)..Thambi ramayaa, handicapped boy, some more kids, ponvannan, bhagyaraj..has given some memorable performances...they lived like legends in the movie..

Technical team support is immense..without them director couldn't achieved this dream movie..Art work is admiring and adorable...parched landscape, with sepia tones usage...small ,small things used in 1966 are bought in the screen and the entire village with bricks... is simple mind blowing..home work rewarded..the next is om prakash, DOP got the various moods and shots ..lively and lovely....believe it or not..the whole movie is at the entire village and Om has differentiated with various angles...Jibran, the music director..a welcome debutant is at his best for the music..songs are aesthatcally shot..pick of the lot is"Sara sara" and " porane"...gonna to go places...humour is well handled which make the movie keep away from boredom. Editing By raja mohammed is of high note.

Weakness

No such great weakness...but the movie in second half is little ...pulledof and could have had a detailed/better conclusion.

.
Sargunam and team reaped the results... strong social message revealed ..movie VSV is enjoyable as of like commercial movie.Tamil movie standards touches a new high with this movie..want to go back to 1966..go grab the tickets....

Verdict:7/10( 1 for lead pair, 1 for cast performance, 1 for Photography, 1 for music, 1 for Artwork, 1 for brilliant & humorous script and 1 for direction)

Movie canvas punch: VSV.....Vaagai soodi vittan....
