Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Lachlan Coulson
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Sarita Rafferty
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

You have to be sadist to enjoy this movie. Why on earth someone wants to keep seeing people getting deformed and becoming hunchback for more than 3 hours. Oh ya, in between these, there is a terribly silly, lengthy and boring (soap serials would be better) love story going on.Only factors that are enjoyable is Vikram's acting to an extend, Ennodu Nee Irundhaal song and some nice locations and camera work.Suresh Gopi's role is especially not at all convincing.This is the worst of Shankar movies. I think he just found somewhere deforming technology and just wrote some crap around it.It is a pity that this movie has become a hit economically. Sincerely hopes that Shankar puts a bit more heart to his next movie.

I saw this movie in Vizag, and was completely mesmerized. Vikram was superb as usual, Shankar was superb, cinematographer was superb. Above all, its Vikram's acting and hard work, which completely shows off.He is the unique star in whole cinematic industry. The story is revenge drama about how the hero who is a village guy and totally down to earth person takes revenge on those who brought misery to him. AR Rahman music was very good.The locations in China were amazing.The songs were a visual feast.All i can guarantee you is this movie is MORE than paisa vasool. Completely enjoyed this movie. Don't follow the critics, just go and watch the movie. Some scenes are emotional, heart touching and moving. Thia movie without Vikram may not be that effective.

I am from London and South Indian films are Not popular here compared to Bollywood. This was my first Indian film that was not Bollywood and i was surprised on how interesting it was. I never heard of this film nor did i see any trailers. I randomly saw this film at my friends house with the intentions of watching the first 5 minutes, but i was glued on till the end. I am not familiar with any of the actors apart from Upen Patel who did a good job in this film. The main Actor performed pretty well and i wish him all the success. Amy Jackson from Liverpool is Gorgeous and does a great job in this film. I want to see more of her and I hope she can make her Mark in Bollywood and gets signed up for more films. The Movie has a unique storyline for a Indian film. Its like a Fairytale love story SLASH Action Revenge Movie. I am adding this to my Movie collection. Highly enjoyable film. Recommended.

I saw 'I' with my family. And this is the second movie in a row featuring 'Lingeswaran' that we weren't particularly fond of (the first being Linga of course).To begin with, I don't understand how 'I' was rated U/A when it is definitely more suitable for an audience of 18+ (parents, you might need to exercise a lot of caution during the film). Second, the movie itself is NOT a remake of the Beauty and the Beast (which is no doubt a Disney classic). 'I' is perhaps very very loosely based on the theme. But it is way darker and grotesque than the adorably innocent animated film. So if you go expecting a fairy tale movie, you are gonna be devastated (much like I was). That been said, this movie is perhaps worth a watch for the sheer brilliance of Vikram. Vikram out did himself with his acting and of course throwing himself into the role of the model as well as the hunchback. He was mind blowing and certainly surpassed his past performances in movies like Anyan and so on. No wonder Arnold was impressed.Finally, the make up and direction. As pathetic as the screenplay was, the make up was out of this world and we had no negative comments on the direction. Shankar had no doubt paid extreme attention to detail and must I say, it definitely paid off brilliantly.
