It was expected around Valentine’s Day, but here it is. Aanandha Thandavam is special, not because of its stars, its director or the fact that it is from Aascar Films, but because it is a screen adaptation of the novel ‘Pirivom Santhippom’ by the late Sujatha. Written nearly 20 years ago by the great writer, director Gandhi Krishna had got the formal permission from the writer to film the story before his unfortunate demise.

Aanandha Thandavam is about two people of extremely different outlooks. The heroine (Tamanna) is one who toes the line set by her parents; she doesn’t wish or will to do anything that they would disagree with. The hero (debutante Siddharth) is at the opposite end of the spectrum. He respects his parents all right, but when it comes to important decisions in his life, he trusts only himself. What happens when two such diverse personalities fall in love? Will they be able to find the compatibility that is so important in a relationship? The story reportedly deals with how two long lost lovers handle their feelings when they meet once again in unexpected circumstances. Does their love catch up with them and change their lives? Watch Aanandha Thandavam.

The quality of the story can never be in doubt. After all, it came from Sujatha. But many think that novels lose their impact when filmed on big screen. But this one had the go ahead given by Sujatha himself and so we can trust his belief in Gandhi Krishna’s abilities to bring out the story well. Apart from the story, the other highlight of the film will be its locations. Half of the story is set in USA, which has been captured quite beautifully, the songs will be visual treats, and the trailers have given a sneak peek already. The movie will also establish Tamanna’s ascendancy in Kollywood; this being her second release in two weeks after Ayan.

Music for Aanandha Thandavam has been scored by the young G.V. Prakash, which supported by some rich visuals should captivate us. Aanandha Thandavam will be a feel-good romantic fare and for those who think that this year’s Valentine’s Day lacked a good romantic release; this might be the one you have been waiting for.
