A Big, Big Winner!
The lovely characterizations of the leads, their inspiring performances, the heartfelt conversations between them, the mix of breezy and hard-hitting situations hide away the minor flaws which are primarily in the form of lags.(more)

An affecting, if slightly overlong, emotional drama
But the film belongs to Arvind Swami and Karthi, and the two actors do some splendid work here. Arvind Swami, in his most vulnerable role yet, superbly captures the angst of a man unable to escape his past; even the actor�s shoulders droop down, signifying the burden that the character�s carrying within himself. And playing a slightly tricky character, one that could have become an irritant with just one false step, Karthi finds the right pitch to make his character endearing.(more)

Karthi, Arvind Swamy power a beautiful ode to love, loss and belonging
In a constantly evolving world that asks people to strive and survive instead of reflect and thrive, the need for a constant is paramount. How long can one run? Why is one running? Where are we all running to? Where are we all running from? Why are we running? When we finally stop running, do we even have answers to all these questions? Of course, not everyone is privileged enough to take a sabbatical, and go on an introspective journey to find the self. But it is important to take a break to smell the flower, drench in rain, smile at a stranger, make playful faces at a random baby in a queue, and have enough juice to continue the drivel the next day. It is almost like Premkumar and team Meiyazhagan have tricked you into sitting in your seat for a solid 3 hours, conjure up an alternate timeline where you are living your best life, juxtapose incidents of your own life on to the screen, and find a sense of catharsis about finding your way back home. Meiyazhagan is the cinematic equivalent of that break in the journey of life. It doesn�t have to take you anywhere, but it does, and that�s why Meiyazhagan is a really special film. (more)

Karthi-Arvind Swami's bromance wins in film on self-discovery
Meiyazhagan has many moments that tug at your heartstrings. Though it gets tedious towards the end, it works mainly because of stellar performances by Karthi and Arvind Swami. Govind Vasantha's music aptly adds to the mood of the film.(more)

Go for this beautifully crafted cinematic journey which delves into the profound depths of human emotions.
The film's emotional impact is amplified by Govind Vasantha's evocative score, particularly a soul-stirring melody sung by Kamal Haasan that leaves a lasting impression. Mahendran Jayaraju�s cinematography and R. Govindaraj�s editing provide a solid foundation for the film, while seamless CGI in certain animal sequences adds a touch of visual charm.(more)
