The first two were Kaakha Kaakha (2003) and Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu (2006). Starring Ajith in the lead role, it was the third film in Gautham’s cop film series. His last bonafide hit was Yennai Arindhaal (2015), which was both a critical and box office blockbuster. In the last five years, Gautham’s career has hit a rough patch. Simbu and Trisha in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. As the saying goes, some classics should never be touched. A wonder that Gautham failed to recreate with the film’s Hindi remake titled Ekk Deewana Tha (2012). It delivered sheer magic on the big screen. And nobody expected the film as a whole to be that good before its release. The 2010 film about unrequited love was a musical wonder, courtesy AR Rahman. If there is one film that created an earthquake in the Tamil film industry in the bygone decade, it has to be Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. And at times Gautham may have disappointed as a writer, but he never let his audience down when it came to delivering a visually appealing film, elevated further by an amazing soundtrack. The film also softly but firmly announced the arrival of a filmmaker with a great visual, musical and aesthetic sense. And Vivek’s clean humour was just the icing on the cake. The film was filled with good looking people: Madhavan, Abbas and Reema. Even two decades later, Vaseegara hasn’t lost its sheen. It was composer Harris Jayaraj’s first film and he knocked the ball out of the park. But, the film infused the stale genre with a lot of freshness and energy. Looking back, Minnale was not a path-breaking film in the romantic genre.
