Critics Review

A good build up for a weak battle

Right from Vijay's hairdo, a lot of things in Bairavaa seems to have been taken for granted and the film looks like one of those products made in a hurry.(more)

Even Vijay's screen presence could not save a middling script

A couple of impressive scenes here and there keep you alert. It falls flat towards the end and does not excite you.(more)

Fun till interval but then the film slips!

Had Bharathan packaged the second half as good as the first half, Bairavaa would have been an engaging commercial entertainer. But as you leave the cinema in the end, you can't help missing the distinct sense of fun that Vijay films normally deliver. (more)

In early 2000, director Bharathan started as a successful scriptwriter for veteran director Dharani and made hits like Dhill, Ghilli, Dhool, etc, before turning director with Azhagiya Tamil Magan (2007) with Vijay, which sank ay the box office.

Bairavaa struggles with tone and pace and fails to do justice to its star.

By now, the actor can play these roles in his sleep, and he tries his best to keep things entertaining. He even makes us take a poorly written and staged courtroom scene with all seriousness. But when the script and the director are of no help, there is only so much that a star can do. (more)

Typical Vijay film, watchable

Bairavaa is, indeed, a big improvement from ATM duo. Vijay�s evergreen charm makes the film watchable, while hard-core fans may find the film really entertaining. (more)
