ProductionVaanavil Vaazhkai is the directorial debut of music director James Vasanthan, who wrote the script in six months. For the film's cast, he decided to take newcomers, primarily college students and those from college bands.[1] Among the newcomers were vocalist/guitarist Jithin Raj,[1] Carnatic music-trained Janani Rajan,[2] percussionists Jose Selvaraj and Radhika George, singer Cassandra, Carnatic singer S. Soumya,[3] and Maya S. Krishnan.[4] It took nearly two years to finalise the lead artistes.[5] James Vasanthan did not learn the basics of filmmaking or work as an assistant director before directing this film, saying "I’m just making a film that I would like to see on screen."[6] He likened it to a "Broadway musical", and said the film would feature the actors singing the songs, as opposed to using playback singers.[7] The film was produced by Oceanaa AJR Cine Arts, and had cinematography by R. K. Prathap.[3]SoundtrackThe soundtrack was composed by James Vasanthan. It features 17 songs, all performed by the actors themselves.[8] Release and receptionVaanavil Vaazhkai was released on 13 March 2015.[9] M. Suganth of The Times of India rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars, saying, "The film is so devoid of excitement that even the final portions, involving the university championship, do not get our pulses racing."[10] Vishal Menon of The Hindu panned the film, saying, "The idea to make a musical is creditable, but VV is a wasted effort. I only wish James had co-directed the film with someone more capable of handling the technical aspects."[11]References1. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/jithin-raj-vaanavil-vaazhkai-will-be-a-musical-treat-735521.html |title=Jithin Raj: 'Vaanavil Vaazhkai' will be a musical treat |date=12 January 2015 |website=News18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160505185132/http://www.news18.com/news/india/jithin-raj-vaanavil-vaazhkai-will-be-a-musical-treat-735521.html |archive-date=5 May 2016 |dead-url=no |access-date=27 December 2018}} 2. ^{{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/a-sound-choice/article7015592.ece |title=A sound choice |last=Ramanujam |first=Srinivasa |date=20 March 2015 |work=The Hindu |access-date=27 December 2018}} 3. ^1 {{Cite news |url=https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/south-indian/vaanavil-vaazhkai-a-true-musical-entertainer-1.1470285 |title=‘Vaanavil Vaazhkai’ a true musical entertainer |last=Ramachandran |first=Mythiliy |date=11 March 2015 |work=Gulf News |access-date=27 December 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/Sharing-screen-space-with-the-Superstar/article16693596.ece |title=Sharing screen space with the Superstar |last=Saravanan |first=T. |date=24 November 2016 |work=The Hindu |access-date=27 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161125153345/http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/Sharing-screen-space-with-the-Superstar/article16693596.ece |archive-date=25 November 2016 |dead-url=no}} 5. ^{{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/the-continuing-struggle-of-lingaas-distributors/article6914840.ece |title=The continuing struggle of Lingaa's distributors |date=20 February 2015 |work=The Hindu |access-date=27 December 2018}} 6. ^1 {{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/from-music-to-movies/article6114895.ece |title=From music to movies |last=Ramanujam |first=Srinivasa |date=14 June 2014 |work=The Hindu |access-date=27 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140620045153/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/from-music-to-movies/article6114895.ece |archive-date=20 June 2014 |dead-url=no}} 7. ^{{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/james-vasanthan-turns-director-with-vaanavil-vaazhkai/article6228181.ece |title=James Vasanthan turns director with Vaanavil Vaazhkai |date=19 July 2014 |work=The Hindu |access-date=27 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180701080133/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/james-vasanthan-turns-director-with-vaanavil-vaazhkai/article6228181.ece |archive-date=1 July 2018 |dead-url=no |agency=IANS}} 8. ^{{Cite web |url=https://mio.to/album/Cassandra%2C+Janani%2C+Jithin%2C+Shivi+Sharon/Vaanavil+Vaazhkai+%282014%29 |title=Vaanavil Vaazhkai (2014) |website=Music India Online |access-date=27 December 2018}} 9. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.fandango.com/vaanavil-vaazhkai-181947/movie-overview |title=Vaanavil Vaazhkai |website=Fandango |access-date=27 December 2018}} 10. ^{{Cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/vaanavil-vaazhkai/movie-review/46569449.cms |title=Vaanavil Vaazhkai |last=Suganth |first=M. |work=The Times of India |access-date=27 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180108223150/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/vaanavil-vaazhkai/movie-review/46569449.cms |archive-date=8 January 2018 |dead-url=no}} 11. ^{{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/vaanavil-vaazhkai-review-good-music-no-movie/article6990473.ece |title=Vaanavil vaazhkai: Good music, no movie |last=Menon |first=Vishal |date=13 March 2015 |work=The Hindu |access-date=27 December 2018}} External links
