BS interview. Towards the end of the film, there is a part of a song where Trisha and Samantha/the telugu hero can be seen in a bus. There was no way in imagination or reality, those two could have met. That is botched up editing and direction. No question about that? This whole thing came across like a director who had no clue what the climax should have been and then pieced together a tragic ending because that way more people would appreciate him as a director. So many inconsistencies.

Best thing about Baradwaj Rangan's interview is that he puts ppl on a trance and like a trainer hypnotist, he makes the director to travel back and answer questions for him purely to quench his thirst of putting together the missing pieces. With that said, no wonder Gautam revealed the story of the sequel at the end.

I feel La La Land had more similarities with VTV. It improved my respect over GVM because VTV was released before La La Land. I was really surprised on how people did not realise it. Is it only me who feel this similarity? Maybe if VTV was released after LLL people would have called GVM a copycat. Very unfair!!!

Such a CULT CLASSIC movie of kollywood. Baradwaj sir I always feel like how can you ask such depth detailed questions. Your one of a kind host man seriously . There is no cliche questions, you had broken stereotypes long back. More strength to our GVM sir and Bharathwaj Sir. Just loved it . It shud 've been a 50min session . Xoxo

Wow thanks Bharadwaj sir for this intense and indepth talk with Gautham sir. VTV is perfect cinema for me. I first saw this 10 years ago and I think there are a very few films that have touched my heart the same way it did. I strongly feel for Jessie. There are times when I feel like I've made the same choices as she did..it's not easy knowing that love is not just an emotion but a decisive commitment. And sometimes even the one you are in love with don't fullu comprehend your perspective of it. Mannippaya is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I still can't listen to the title track without feeling my heart break a little. I actually on purpose don't listen to some songs that are exquisitely relatable and beautiful as such. The latter is one of them. I'm so glad that Gautham sir stated himself that there shouldn't have been a Hindi remake. That version completely spoiled the effect of VTV. I too believe that perfect movies should never be remade. No matter what the outcome is, the original effect never retains. Let me not describe all emotions running through my mind right now.. it's too much to process or articulate. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️

The father character was the villain of the story according to me. The character was kind of alien and that kind of put me in the shoes of Karthik, his feeling towards Jessie's father. And also there was this mystery about Jessie that gave depth to the character and hard to understand her 'Mood chart'. Showing scenes with her dad could have maybe killed the mystery and my longing to know more about her. And i jumped when i heard that she coming back in VTV 2 which is the effect of the whole mystery thing.
