Fraankly speaking VELLAI POOKAL is a much better than Natpe Thunai which trivialised anf made mockery of woman folk. Despite the slow pacing which seems DELIBERATE in a few areas and heavy Bgm, the film remains highly watchable from start to end. Will change people attitudes and will get genuine appreciation from most critics. Cinematography good and Vivek acting was good. But the foreign lady who played the role of Alice was really perfect. Quality attempt and decent execution. Wish they release in other states with subtitles.
Such a waste of time and money. Skip this and watch something more better and inspiring. Ranever Singh only saving grace of the whole film. Zoya doesn't still know how to make An interesting and engaging film.
Should have taken care to avoid loopholes in the second half. Writing could have been much better. Visuals are good. Prithviraj as usual good acting. Climax reveal is thrilling and also scary. If the writing was better, then this film could have ended up as a must watch one. SAD. BGM was just ok..too loud in some scenes.
Marana mokka. Megha Akash no acting skills. Not even 1% acting which Samantha showed in original. Simbu tried hard to be like Pawan Kayan but it is let down by a shoddy screenplay and direction. Songa by Hip Hop Tamizha bad except for one title song. Comedy also bad. Catherine Tresa nice acting and has good screen presence. Overall one can even skip the film and spend time in a much better manner.
A Pathbreaking Tamil film shot with a lot of conviction and sincerity. Maari Selvaraj in his debut Tamil film shows a lot of control and expertise in showing caste based realities in South India which still exist. He manages to present things as it is without resorting to excessive cinematic liberties. The end result is that both the film and the performances seemed fresh and refreshing. What the film lacked was that in the middle portions the film goes into a semi-documentary mode so the engagement factor takes a slight dip. You could wish if the director had shown much more sincerity towards presenting the theme. But even in its current form the film is a honest work and a riveting watch
And out and out Rajni Show from Start to finish. Nothing much in terms in screenplay or character development. Even the final revelation in the climax is on expected lines.
I think Shankar has lost it as a filmmaker...can watch for his vision. Second half dry screenplay lacking in energy. Nothing much in terms of petformances either. Marginally better than I.
Not much of high points in film despite a good message. Nivetha Pethuraj nice acting. Vijay Anthony needs to be more careful in selecting films. Overall one time watch.
Sarkar Review - Dull second half plays spoilsport
Our hero Vijay plays a corporate tycoon Sundar Ramaswamy(apparently modelled on Sundar Pitchai). While the first half was quite breezy with message on vote theft and 49 P, an actor's cameo role as lawyer Ram Jethmalani proved as an irritant. The fact that he spoke free flowing Tamil more so the reason. The fight sequence under bridge fitted correctly. Keerthy Suresh as Vijay's love interest gave a measured acting performance.
Where the film slipped was when the core concept revolved arund a politician named Masilamani. Pazha Karuppiah tried to do justice but could not offer much. Radha Ravi as a politician named Rendu did small variations here and there apart from that nothing much.. AR Rahman great music director but unfortunately the weakest link of the film. Both BGM and songs were in average level. Oru Viral Puratchi powerfully picturised. There were lots of dull moments in second half but Muragadoss compensated with fights and comedy sequences.Overall engaging crusade against political system. But cannot fathom Muragadoss anger only against the current political party.
Definetely worth a watch..some predictable and dull scenes in second half apart from that film is quite good. Mohanlal nice cameo role and Nivin pauly good acting. Nice visuals and bgm.
