pls add this movie

The film was not bad and not impressive too. Can't number the many times we've seen stories like this where one policeman is trying to make a difference in the lives of the brutalized people while facing a rebel group. The story was more like a documentary, just informing us about the atrocities taking place in that village DELICIOUS -The cinematography was imply spectacular. R Velraj's quality is improving more and more. He captured the most unusual narrowest shots giving us a real close-up feeling of what it was like being in the characters' shoes -Soori's character was originally designed being a stubborn police officer, willing to lose his career and life life for humanity sake. The chase scene at the end where he's dressed as a civilian with no gun was quite symbolic to underline his empathy for the common man -There was a great emphasis placed on the dangers of media, warning us never to believe everything we see or hear BLAND -Acting overall was casual, nothing extraordinary. You'd think Soori taking the lead will give him wings to perform in an impressive way, but nope -The movie basically gave us a tale of rebel groups fighting to retain their land and resources while the government was pushing for foreign mining corporations to break ground. Soori's voiceover throughout the movie added more to the documentary effect. There was no major dramatic effect or suspense to keep us glued to our seats.

Another caste sentiment provoking and villyfying movie attempting to rub the wounds and profit out of it. It is more of a slasher movie that exploits women and gives more ideas of exploitation rather than rehabilitating the victims. But the urge for violence and nudity in the minds of the viewers give the motivation for directors to come out with such scripts. Highly polarizing and highly divisive content helmed by a director known for this usual stuff. Opinions may differ. And it is the forum where opinions are freely shared that becomes a forum for progress. Actor Soori has done a remarkable job. To imagine the director directing a movie that unified all castes and communities is something that only we could hope for. Cinematography was brilliant.

Viduthalai Part 1 (2023) : Brief Review - An interesting film with strong performances and a flawed screenplay. The atrocities of the police department have been exposed by several movies from the south markets (including three big industries), and many have been damn brutal and vivid about the context. Here, Viduthalai has the perfect pretext to make another attempt against the atrocities and inhuman behaviour of cops, but the screenplay is lost somewhere. The love story, overblown police officers, a too honest but too weak protagonist, and a super strong villain with a super small screen space doom this interesting crime drama. The film is about the police department's attempt to arrest the members of the People's Army and their leader, Perumal. A constable joins the police force, but his honesty puts him down. He is punished and humiliated by one of his seniors, and over time he learns about the inhumane practises of the police, which end up affecting his love interest. His social conscience isn't permanent. He seems confused about which to choose among his duty, the torture, his lady love, and Perumal. Why can't he make one good decision, I mean, just one goddamn decision. He was supposed to answer his senior's memo in 24 hours; what happened to that? He can pick up any gun and start shooting criminals when he is not allowed to do so. He can become a superhero in the climax, while the whole freaking time, he was a naive, honest, but cowardly constable. Soori gave a solid performance, but I wonder why the writing wasn't solid. Vijay Sethupathi is wasted, and I hope they use him well in Part 2. The plot is open, predictable, and quite repetitive. Vetrimaaran's direction is slightly better than his writing, but you can't make a great film without great writing and a great screenplay in such cases. Viduthalai falls short of its potential but is still a fine one-time watch. It could've been crispier, though. RATING - 6/10* By - #samthebestest.

Please don't go to this movie with your family, else your children will ask so many uncomfortable questions. Childrens are not the right people to see this movie. Eventhough soory acting is good, illayaraja music is excellent, this is another boring story trying to tell police brutality, may be this incident was happened or not, but what is the need to tell this, if you want to show you can show with indirect scenes. For example if you want to show reality of one person life, you cannot show from morning to night activities like going to toilet, bathing, eating and his night life with this wife as it is, usually matured director will show like "ilai marai kaai marai" in this case. But this weird director trying to show as it is, it shouldn't be acceptable. He just want to create controversy and try to catch world cinema eye.

Viduthalai-The movie started with the stunning 10 minutes single shot train sequence scene which gave me a resemblance of 1917 Velraj done his job very perfectly in his Camera works. Somebody might tell that the movie pace is very slow but to narrate a story like this it is the perfect way. Soori done a great job as an actor we have seen him as comedy actor and enjoyed his every movies but this the carrier best movie for soori. Maestro's background score leveled up the movie and I loved the 2 song which have'nt affected the movie's pace. Vjs performance for his minimal screen presence very nice. Seat edge climax show. Loved the movie so much. Waiting for Part2.....

Balumahendra made uncompromising raw and realistic films. Both Bala and Vetrimaaran are his disciples and Balumahendra's influence is heavyset on both these directors. Both the disciples haven't swayed till date and carved an unique raw, cruel, brutal genre for themselves albeit an unpalatable one for a larger part of the audience, which contributes to the reason why one of the top directors that India has ever produced arent as well known as they should have been. Vetrimaaran directorial debut was in 2007 with Dhanush Polladhavan, the movie was remade in Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Bengali and Sinhalese. Viduthalai is his 6th movie as a director in his 16th year. Four years later in 2011 came his second movie, Aadukalam which was again with Dhanush, the movie raked 6 National Awards including Best Screenplay and Director. Another 4 years later came his third movie Visaranai, which bagged 3 National Awards including Best Feature Film in Tamil. He joined hands again with Dhanush for his 4th film in Vada Chennai which was released in 2018, the movie will be a cult classic in years to come and is rated 8.4 on IMDB. His 5th film was released one year later in 2019, again with Dhanush. Asuran won two national awards including Best Feature Film in Tamil. Dhanush won both National Awards for Best Actor for Aadukalam and Asuran. Viduthalai is a 2 part movie and Vetrimaaran takes his time to set the plot. Soori, an accomplished comedian in the Tamil film industry makes his debut in a lead role and is an incredible casting choice for the role. Set in 1987 in a fictional town, the plot is based on Jeyamohan's short story Thunaivan. The narration is fresh, raw and aptly supported by Velraj's cinematography and IRs BGM, both the full songs are soothing melodies from the 80 year old maestro and apt to the situation. This is Vetrimaaran's first collaboration with his mentor's one and only favourite music director. Buzzing insect noises form a part of the BGM giving you a feel that you are actually there at the mountainous forest surrounded village. Vijay Sethupathi sizzles and scorches the screen with his brief screen time. Bhavani Sre delivers an award winning performance. GV Menon is his usual clinical self as a top cop. There are several new comers in the film who all give a seasoned performance. Vidathu Karuppu Chetan as the cruel cop stood out tall. Stand out casting choice was Rajeev Menon as the chief secretary, the characterisation was so real that Rajeev could actually walk into any government and do the job immediately. If you watch movies for entertainment only, this is not the movie for you like Visaranai or Jai Bhim. The police station scenes are brutal and raw unlike any movies that you would have seen. It even makes Schindlers list concentration camp scenes palatable when compared against this. Once in a life time role for Soori and he has given his 200%. Vetrimaaran's direction prowess can be seen throughout the movie, spectacular location choice and art work supported by solid actor's performance, editing, cinematography and music makes this a grand teamwork.
