Vaagai Sooda Vaa offers a poignant and realistic glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of education in rural India. Vasanthabalan's direction is sensitive and nuanced, capturing the complexities of a community grappling with poverty, tradition, and the desire for a better future. The film's strength lies in its authentic portrayal of rural life, the nuanced performances of the cast, and its exploration of the transformative power of education. It's not just a feel-good story; it's a film that confronts difficult realities while offering a message of hope and resilience. Vaagai Sooda Vaa is a must-watch for those who appreciate cinema that tackles social issues with honesty and compassion.

There is a subtle line between story telling and cinema. This movie erases that line and lives in both the universe. Such a skillful make in every aspect. If I had to choose just one movie from Tamil cinema for its pride, vaagai soda va is an easy pick. The movie is not packed with powerful hero nor a powerful villain, still it never fails to amaze you. A must watch for all movie lovers. Just one question to the director sargunam - "epadiya ipadi screenplay panni irukka.. Phaaa!!!. Huge respect"

What a movie it was.Rarely,some movies with all features(comedy,sentiments,extraordinary music,good actors.dialogues,love) release in Indian cinema. one such movie it was.

Vimal's acting was very natural.Almost all the actors justified their role. Must watch movie for all village lovers.

In his very first film Kalavani, director Sarkunam proved that he is a film maker with a potential. And in Vaagai Sooda Vaa, he continues to reiterate this fact as he narrates his tale adhering to a rural milieu set in 1966.

Vaagai Sooda Vaa is a tribute to teachers and tells the story of young man who is trained to teach and waiting for a government job which in those days was a highly revered commodity. The incidents that unfold when he comes to a village involved in making bricks and the shape that his dreams take on, become the base on which Sarkunam builds his story.

Vaagai Sooda Vaa works big time due to the brilliant detailing of Sarkunam and team, art director Seenu, cinematographer Om Prakash and music director Ghibran.

Sarkunam's research is evident in the numerous articles of 1966 from the transistor, its announcements, the alum used during shaving to the bar soap being cut by thread. And he has also brought out the traditions of people living in that period through the 'oppari' and the customs during a death ceremony. Sarkunam's eye for perfection is palpable when Vimal walks with a limp after he is attacked although his limp does not form part of the core of the sequence at all.

Credible characters and a fairly good screenplay are the positive components of VSV. In the performance department, debutante Iniya is a worthy find and cruises through emotions. The scene where she breaks into a pompous jig in front of Vimal's hut and where she expresses her disappointment on knowing Vimal's intentions speak about the girl's potential. Of course, her body language in a few instances is contemporary which could have been avoided.
