Vallavan is a 2006 Tamil romantic thriller film directed by Silambarasan Rajendar, who also plays the lead role in the movie alongside Nayanthara and Reema Sen. The film is primarily based on the complexities of human relationships and the various emotions that underline them. With a well-paced screenplay and excellent performances by the lead cast, Vallavan promises to keep viewers engaged and entertained throughout.

The story revolves around a young man named Vallavan (Silambarasan Rajendar), who is a popular college student known for his rowdy behaviour and his way with women. However, he soon meets Swapna (Nayanthara), a charming and intelligent young woman who challenges his perception of love and relationships. As Vallavan starts to develop feelings for Swapna, he also becomes increasingly envious of her closely knit group of friends, particularly the men in her life.

In the meantime, a parallel subplot involving a rich businessman's daughter, Geetha (Reema Sen), and her troubled marriage runs alongside the main narrative. Geetha, who is unhappy with her life, gets drawn into an affair with a charming young man she meets on a flight.

As the story progresses, the film dives deep into the complexities of human relationships and the various emotions that underline them. Vallavan's character, in particular, undergoes a significant transformation. He goes from being an angry, womanizing young man to someone who values love and relationships above all else. The evolution of his character is gradual and believable, thanks to the talented performance of Silambarasan Rajendar.

Nayanthara also delivers an excellent performance as Swapna, the woman who changes Vallavan's outlook on life. Her character is well-written and nuanced, and she does justice to the role.

Reema Sen's character also brings a new dimension to the movie. Her struggle with a loveless marriage and her attempts to find emotional fulfilment make her character relatable and realistic.

The film's music score by Yuvan Shankar Raja is another highlight. The soundtrack is a blend of melody and peppy numbers, with songs like 'Loosu Penne' and 'Theepidikka' becoming instant chartbusters.

The cinematography, by Nirav Shah, is also noteworthy. The movie is shot in exotic and picturesque locations in India and Switzerland, adding to the film's overall visual appeal.

Overall, Vallavan is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good romantic thriller. The movie manages to strike a perfect balance between the complexities of human emotions and the rush of adrenaline that a good thriller demands. The performances by the lead cast, coupled with a well-paced screenplay and melodious music, make Vallavan a Tamil movie that is worth revisiting.
