Performance:
Anushka tried her best to bring variance in her performance as innocent doctor and female warrior. She was ok as doctor but as female warrior she didnot get much scope to perform. She is putting on weight and is fast loosing her sheen.
Arya performed well as lover out to impress the girls in both the worlds. He showed different shades as a timid person and even as a warrior showing his muscles. Even as a honest lover he performed well. Others did their bit in the film.
Technical Aspects:
Production values of PVP banner is of high standard. Editing could have been far better. Cinematography is excellent.
Music and of Harris Jeyaraj and Back ground music by Anirudh is good.
Songs are OK but director failed to convert them into success with poor direction and screenplay.
Plus Points:
Music, Back ground music
Cinematography
Graphics
Minus Points:
Anushka
Weak screenplay,direction
Slow pace
Unconvincing story
Climax
Analysis:
Selva Raghavan planned to script his way to success with two simultaneous love stories in different worlds. Though it is interesting to hear that he failed in his execution. Forgetting the slow pace in the first half, though it was bearable, he missed the plot in the second half. Finally he was not sure on how to end the film.
He planned to connect it like Hollywood flick Avatar and though he has the backing of high technology, week screenplay and direction spoiled everything.
Anushka's role is not chalked out properly as a warrior and connection between two worlds is not at all convincing.
Final Word:
Varna belies all expectations.
