For the uninitiated, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (Will you cross the skies for me?) follows Karthik (Silambarasan TR), an aspiring filmmaker with a temper, and Jessie (Trisha Krishnan), a conservative Malayali Christian girl with a fierce grip on her family’s expectations. It’s not your typical boy-meets-girl. It’s a raw, five-year-long saga of obsession, rejection, ego, and unfulfilled longing.
