Bairavaa

I am writing this review on seeing the movie and also as a vijay fan. This is vijay 60th movie which expects more from him . Did the expectation fulfilled. Vijay himself sets a boundary line for himself as action comedy message now a days . But in this movie it is overloaded. The story line is Weak and the story telling is also weak . Vijay give a chance to bharathan for second time but it is disappointment only . In the later movies he fights for farmers and now he has fight for students and studies . In this movie many things were told about he is doing dual role and he is a college student but both of them is not true . In fact heroine is studying in college and he takes the problem of her and fights for the villain . Director has only focused on vijay role and other character were not established . Most of the scenes were only in set that is also not good . Music director has bigger role to play but only one song and theme music is OK and also he totally lose his scope in bgm . Editing work is not so special . The only good thing in the movie is fight sequences . Stunt director has worked very hard and it is really good . Director's dialogues are not so good . Last but not least if this movie has directed with different director or bharathan should had concentrated more it would have been a decent movie . Vijay has tried to do different in puli movie but the execution is poor in this movie the story is simple and the execution is also simple . I hope he will do good script with proper execution

Everywhere I have seen negative reviews about this film but still I can't find a reason to hate this film.A action packed entertainer.

This movie is about a kind bank officer who gets in the way of a corrupted and ruthless businessman to bring out his immoral activities and during the process helps out a collage girl.

It's the same plot all over again the usual story for example there is a hero there is villain the hero wins at the end in the process he meets a girl the heroine and falls in love with her. The only thing I liked about this movie was the BGM and the action scenes. Vijay has to change his usual acting to do something different and unique because I bet the audience is bored with this kind of acting as he is being doing this from the movie Pokkiri. Keerthi has to do a lot to improve her acting skills. There were some serious scenes in this movie which can be made into funny GIF as it was all so overly done. Now speaking about the songs some were OK some were really bad especially the first song of this movie which was dragged for no reason none of the songs got pasted into us cause none of them were catchy. The movie itself was dragged in many places because if you fast forward the movie it is actually a one hour and fifty minutes movie but instead it was a two hour and forty minutes movie. The ending of this movie had something to do with the movie shooter and it was predictable.

NO I would not recommend people to watch this movie.

My Rating 5/10

#NO SPOILERS ****** Right from the movie announcement, cast, first look, teaser, trailer and songs the expectation for this flick was moderate, which was obvious and I can that the say the movie exactly matched it, except for the fact that it had a good content and few unexpected mass scenes. Like #Vedalam this movie also had all the qualities that it should have been released around 2005 to 2010 and not in this era. Yes an Agmark mass commercial Masala with good scenes then and there. Yet another One man army movie where Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay carried the whole movie right from the beginning. Movie had a strong plot but a weak execution in the second half. Director Bharathan is very good in paper work as he comes up with good / different stories ( first ATM, now Bairavaa ) and he had penned the dialogues for films like Ghilli and Veeram. When it comes to executing the same on screen, he fails. But there is an improvement compared to ATM ( it has to be, right :P ?). The first 20 or 30 minutes was very dull and kinda boring, even though many claim that the cricket fight was good, I don't feel that way.The actual story started then and it was in a good pace followed by a perfect interval block (Semma Mass!!!!) with Varlam Varlam Va " Bairavaa" BGM!! . Second half continued at a considerable pace by reminding us movies like Sivakasi (film), Veeram etc loses it by the uninspiring cat and mouse game between the hero and villain when nearing towards the Pre climax sequences. Then ends up in a normal climax. The reason for losing the pace was the placement of the scenes in the second half like a good scene followed by a bad scene , then again a good scene followed by a very bad scene. This movie would have been much better if some portions were trimmed. Sathish's one liner comedy helped here and there whereas Thambi Ramaiah was a great Mokkai. Keerthi Suresh as usual didn't have any scope. Another notable negative point is Mr. Santhosh Narayanan for the songs and BGM. 65 to 70% of the movie had "Varlam Varlam Va " Bairavaa" BGM and I doubt whether the remaining part had any RR. Particularly there was fight scene between Vijay and Daniel Balaji with a strong sentimental BGM (WTH ?? ) . This reminds me of the BGM in Kabali fight scene where Thalaivar rescues Radhika Apte in a BGM of absolute silence!! Also the placements of the songs in second half was bad. Papa Song visuals was good with a village temple background and good dance number. To conclude, if you are a neutral and who doesn't have any expectation and doesn't dive deep into anything. This movie would entertain you. For others except the fans, might or might not work out. On a box office point of view , there are certain movies which became hits even earned negative/Mixed reviews at the time of its release with various deciding factors. Examples ( Maan Karate, Maari, Vedalam , Theri etc) the first two due to the Pre release buzz it created and low budgets, the latter ones mainly for the few mass scenes which had been received well mainly in B and C centers even though the content wasn't good enough. So this movie has a very high chance of joining that list! #StrictlyMyview!!!

The movie knew what it was - A Mass film. It wasn't a stirring, cinematic spectacle that will captivate movie-lovers for generations. It was a movie meant to pander to Vijay's fans and give casual watchers who don't expect a masterpiece something to watch for 2.5 hours and entertain them. And I think the movie did it's role perfectly. Vijay hit all the chords - Women's sentiment, family sentiment, comedy, style, action, working against social injustice, fighting for the underprivileged and suppressed etc. He's attended to almost every major aspect of society which is what a mass movie should do. Will such movies help the Indian film industry grow in quality? No. Will it bring the money? Definitely. Should more mass movies such as this be encouraged? No. But they are an integral part of the film industry and the majority of people like it that way, so I don't think that will change. Mass Masada flick.. can't get better than this. From the start to end top notch Vijay style is superb.. definitely its not Vijay's best performance..but For a mass Masada movie like this, No one can beat Vijay.. sure-shot hit. Gun Scene , Court scene,Cricket fight scene, Nillayo song, Climax fight scene..etc. and that court scene contains full of social issues as usual Vijay conveys social MSG through his film....Vijay gave his best.. planned to go again for the cinemas..
