Yash Raj D Legendary Bala's Trajectory Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Priyan B Definitely not for everyone. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Audience Member The 3.5 stars go to the performance of Vishal and Arya. The story wasn't convincing nor did it have much depth, but the performance of the cast and the dialogues were awesome and hilarious. Avan Ivan really makes you laugh. Vishal's squint eyed performance was just brilliant. I never knew he could act this well. His hard work and suffering from severe headache because of the squint eye, did pay off! Vishal is the main reason why I recommend this movie and secondly Arya. They made a great and funny team and acted shamelessly and I liked that a lot, because I don't think many "known" actors in the Tamil film industry would or could have acted like this. It's a real pity that the story wasn't so good, otherwise I'm sure this movie would have been a great success. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Appreciate the efforts of the actors to the unrequired work and energy put in this movie. No idea why this was made in the first place Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member What glued me to the movie right form the 1st scene till the last one is the wacked out comical script which stuck to the brazen ruggedness of its characters.It's quite funny. Vishal Krishna and Ambika's performance were awesome.Director Bala does not leave any stone unturned when it comes to production and cinematography. My only disappointment was that he is unable to let go of his fixation with death, revenge and suffering that goes with it.Why are these elements necessary in a humorous film like this one?. I also don't understand why Rotten Tomatoes are classifying all Indian films under the same category " Independent Bollywood" ? This is a mainstream Tamil film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This is just half of what bala used to do. As usual a complete extraction of the actors talent - vishal is at his best. But when you see the ending title you then realize, what were we seeing and what was the story. Avan Ivan is not a brain stormer how we talk about Nandha, Sethu, Pithamagan and naan kadavul but just a film Which is worth a watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
