Bobby Simha tries his best to save this mediocre thriller
Bobby Simha is the only saviour of the film and single-handedly steals the show. His romantic sequences with Kashmira work to an extent. Kashmira has screen presence. Though Arya doesn't have much scope to perform, he has delivered his best. The technical aspects of the film, while not great, are convincing enough to hold our attention. Vasantha Mullai is definitely not a bad thriller, but it really doesn't immerse you into its world to the fullest.(more)

Vasantha Mullai is a fairly engaging thriller that plays mind games with the audience with a message sprinkled at the end.
Vasantha Mullai is a film that has all the ingredients to cook a delightful meal. But the director's dilemma in finding the right mix of ingredients for a thriller makes it fall short. Nevertheless, there is the initial promise of a debutant director. A little more conviction would have done the trick.(more)

Bobby Simha and Arya�s thriller is a wasted opportunity
Bobby Simha tries his best to shoulder the film but fails to salvage the mess he was a part of. Kashmira Pardeshi�s performance was apt for her role. Arya, in a short-lived role, spouted sermons on the importance of people getting good sleep. But, the role hardly makes an impact. Vasantha Mullai is a classic example of how good ideas do not necessarily translate into good films.(more)

Stuck in a loop of mediocrity
The film ends with an overlong discussion stressing the importance of sleep. Sarath Babu, who plays the doctor, keeps repeating that he has tried everything impossible, but is unable to make Rudhran fall asleep. Having sat awake through this patience-testing thriller, I can say with assurance that he hasn't tried the most effective method. (more)
