Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (2014)

Pretty Good

Great Film overall

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I am going to warn you people about the peril of watching this film, either in Tamil or Malayalam. With no story at all, the plot of this terribly long film drags and manages to stand afoot with one and only one thing: HORSEPLAY.It starts off with characters that are not properly introduced: a happy- go-lucky salesman who is a brilliant communicator, an innocent girl kept on her toes by her strict boyfriend, and some of the worst characters in cinema history: actor and alcohol lovers' fans associations who are in a face off. The narrative is stupid as from thin air, a fictional epidemic strays the city and people start losing their voices. Off-screen, I was starting to lose my temper.Then comes the second half where every single character is seen playing charades, because the city administrators have put up a ban on "talking." The logic behind that is preposterous. This cannot be termed a spoiler alert since there is no plot at all, like I mentioned before. I courageously braved the second half to receive a blown-off climax and a rather clumsy ending. It felt like even the makers had got tired of the nonsense they had voluntarily created. It has many themes, yet even one fails to make a point.Watching Madhoo after a very long time felt good. Nazim is fine and so is Salman. Supporting cast is nothing much to speak about. The film heavily borrows from yesteryear classics, Taare Zameen Par for example.BOTTOM LINE: I had this sinking feeling after watching the film, because I felt like I had lost something out of me and now I know what it was: my logical thinking capability. The 2 stars are for the few chuckles and emotive sequences I enjoyed. Avoid!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

The whole movie is like school drama. Right from the beginning the narration of the director is so immature and very artificial. and the actors are too childish. Dulqer Salman should have chosen another movie to gain entry into the Tamil industry.The news channel scenes are the highly irritating scenes and others ones are the quarreling scenes between cine fans and protesters. Crap...!The film shows the over confidence of the director, who thinks that his first film (kaadhalil sodhappuvadhu eppadi) is an enormous success (which is equally artificial and like a school drama) and ends up in a worthless movie like this. Better to avoid. Thank god this film is not a commercial success. Hope no other producer gets fooled next time...!

Vaayai Moodi pesavum : Its been long time that I have seen such a Clean entertainer... still , VSP is ain't a run-of-the-mill flick which we normally come across with big TALKIES sign in a Cinema hall .. film is mostly SILENT in second half ! Although the movie seems to be focused on comedy, it delivers a very subtle yet powerful message on the importance of communication. While peppered with numerous comic incidents, the movie is quite serious in adressing its central theme. There's some important content in this film, but it is never overpowered by laughs, nor vice versa. While comedies have moved on to become more grosser and outrageous in order to tickle our dulled funny bone, 'Vaayai Moodi pesavum' manages it with what now seems like restraint but is really a good example of 'wacky' comedy, mixed with a good vein of sentiment and character. The plot is pretty good although some of it pushes the boat out to the unreal in order to get laughs – but this isn't a problem because it DOES get laughs, if it hadn't then it might have been an issue. Most of it is hilarious although some drags early on. The movie ends on a very dramatic note, on the power of communicating and it does show how redundant the words are in presence of good acting, screenplay and the power of music ( though i believe certain songs cud have been avoided !! ) ..Despite being a bit predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's another good attempt by John Hughes.Bottom line : Film is funny, engaging, touching, crazy and human !

I thoroughly enjoyed every scene. Complete satisfaction! This movie does not have proper logic in many parts but still a well written neat film like soodhu kavvum. i was absorbed into the movie. Even though this was humour film, this was a serious story unlike other santhanam films like #KannaLadduThinnaAasaya. This should be a trend setter. Pandiarajan as sundaralingam is so funny after long time especially the mashup scene i was literally LOL. All the characters have a nice part to play and such a beautiful story was written for everyone. I loved the news reader scenes by Balaji Mohan. He himself is a good actor too and extracted nice acting from everyone. As he explains himself, its such a crazy movie! Its worth to watch second time! I wonder if you would still ask for a movie with fight,songs and so on. Please don't go back. There are so many things to enjoy! 5/5.Balaji has a very good taste to direct films and he took a small step towards Hollywood style. I don't want a Transformers movie here. Transformers is worst film. I want films with nice script. Films such as Eternal sunshine. Thats where we have to look forward. Selvaraghavan's attempts by using serious stories have failed. I hope Balaji would not fail. Great directors like Bala and Mani Ratnam have excellent ability to direct anything. They are very best at how to direct but you can still question if they are good at what to direct. The stories they do still lack the expectations. Balaji looks very promising this being his very second film, he started writing creative scripts. After watching Maan karate i was so fed up for such a stupid script and was worrying tamil cinema was going down. But after seeing this i am amazed! Those who said Maan karate is better than this movie, Please Vaayai moodavum! Hats off Balaji Mohan Ji! I am soon expecting you to take a film of some other genre soon!NOTE : YOU WILL BE MEETING MANY REVIEWERS SAYING THIS MOVIE IS CONFUSING. NOT AT ALL! WATCH THIS WITH AN OPEN MIND AND I AM SURE YOU WILL ENJOY IT!!!
