Vanna Jigina Movie Review

Cast: Vijay Vasanth, Saniathara, Sri Devi, Kumki Aswin, Singam Puli .Direction: Ravi Nanda Periyasaami.Genre: Romance.
Synopsis: A dark-skinned call taxi driver starts chatting with a pretty girl on Facebook under the profile of a good-looking guy. He yearns to marry her, but life has quite a bunch of twists in store for him.
Review: Vanna Jigina is a misguided effort. It wants to be a message movie, one that talks about the dark side of social networking (read Facebook), and how it lets people create an identity that is far removed from their true self. A similar theme was explored in last year's Nee Naan Nizhal, but while that film used this premise to narrate a crime story, here, Ravi Nanda Periyasaami uses it to talk about romance. This also gives him the chance to layer his story with one more message — the obsession for fair skin in our country and the lack of confidence among dark-skinned persons.
The film begins with Paavadaisamy about to commit suicide. The narrator (voiced by actor Sathyaraj) tells us that he has arrived at this decision because of four things — his name, his skin colour, his employed-in-the-IT-industry friends, and one-sided love. Paavadai (Vijay Vasanth is perfectly cast here, though this is a comedown for him from Yennamo Nadakkudhu) is embarrassed by his name (very much like the hero in Ethir Neechal), and his dark-coloured skin only worsens his confidence.
