Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
GazerRise Fantastic!
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
stillblingbling a rating is given as a token of appreciation or critique to any experience served. expectations influence this procedure just as every good meal only makes you want better next time.. this is the greed attached to getting the experience we want and not try something new.. an audience is also wanting to settle down and make Bala a regular name on the menu for any "certain" experience, but this man is simply 'growing stories in celluloid naturally' and not under any formatted procedure for daily entertainment..this story has a whole hill town of characters come to life in various age and roles of society in situations that make them flourish and shine even in the direst of environments, only to end as prey to the same hunger to thrive, manifested in others in means of different nature..i'll remember this and even share it..
shafi_awesome Being a Bala Die-hard..All I would say is Satisfaction.The Movie has a weak storyline which begins half an hour before the movie ends. Excellent Start which gave me a stomach-ache of Laughing.. Usually Love is something we expect high from Bala was let down by his lose script and Disappointing Screenplay.Vishal was the Highlight,Superb acting by him led up the spectators.Arya once again gave some excellent Humours.Yuvan Shankar Raja's BGM's were Superb..It was disappointing to see 2 of the main songs such as Oru Malaioram and Mudhal Murai Missing in the Movie..Good Cinematography and Dialouges.. Overall Avan(Vishal) + Ivan(Arya) + Bala = Not as Expected!! Powerpack performance by Actors Led down by Lose Screenplay!!
nanduryder11 Bala unlike his emotional dramas he This time set the movie at the backdrop of comedy..Vishal and Arya are step brothers in the movie..first thing to tel s tat there s no story in the movie and its clearly noted tat Bala wants just to hit the box office and wants to create a buzz wit 2 rising stars vishal and Arya(multi starer)...but he has maintained his same formulas in This film also..one can say easily tat This s a Bala movie nu...thanks to the director for letting out the unknown talents of vishal..the ultimate performance of him s tat where he exhibits Navarasa on his face in the stage..Arya shines in his dialog delivery and his comedy tracks...but vishal scores kudos over him..nice tracks such as "avanapathi" "oru malayoram" are not seen in the film but yuVan scores in Bgm...g.Kumar performs a superb supporting role..villain suddenly pops into the story which s a big -Ve point in the movie..overall a film which has no script and has many loop holes in screenplay but the performances of actors from all quarters remains in our mind not the movie,especially Vishal character remains very long
Aakash Vasudevan Bala is one of the few directors who is not afraid to experiment, take up any plot no matter how dark or unfamiliar it is and most importantly, tries to portray his characters as believable yet fascinating. He is the one director I thought I could always count on to come up with something entirely fresh and out-of-the-box as opposed to the commercial crap that is currently plaguing our Tamil cinema. Well, I am not sure anymore.Avan Ivan has a very simple story line, a lot of irrelevant scenes, whole lot of forced comedy, many plot-holes, many unanswered questions and most disappointing of all, Arya's unnatural acting. The story goes like this: G.M. Kumar, the village "Jameen" is like a father-figure to Arya and Vishal. He is brutally murdered by the villain and then, as expected the half-brothers avenge his death. There are many sub-plots but none of which are developed. In fact, 75% of the movie is irrelevant to the main story. Just for the sake of completeness, here are some aspects that may be considered as positives: Vishal, considering his abominable acting in most of his previous movies, has done an impressive job. G.M. Kumar has also done a decent job. Yuvan, as usual, has done his bit with BGM. Ambika delivers some strong one-liners that might amuse some (disgust most). Bottom line: If you are a Bala fan like me, you will be disgusted.
