Vanamagan

Tamil films have started to focus more on the actual story rather than commercializing a poor script. This revolves around a great concept, the CGI was excellent which was surprising as usually they seem unrealistic. Also, Thambi Ramaiah is a great addition to the film. He executes his comedy in his signature style and it makes this film a great watch for all ages. This film offers a perspective that is often overlooked in the modern age, and it is broadcasted exceptionally well in my option despite other reviewers who disagree.

This is definitely worth a watch, in fact- it was good enough for me to write my first review for IMDb.

Finally something fresh in India as well as in tamil cinema the movie also has important message about caring for nature besides that the movie also has all comercial film elements good locations good action outstanding acting by all specially by lead actors besides that it has a tarzan kind of plot so it also has much needed romance as well the first half mostly concentrates on the romance like the girl bringing him in her house teaching the man to be human taking him to office the special bond that grows between them while all this is shown in a very beautiful way which is a must for tarzan type of story then the second half concentrates on action so overall a well made film actually i watched such good film after long time a film not to be missed at all as we dont get to see such different films every day in India

The movie was good only but not so good. The storyline was good but there are many logic mistakes in the movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. The climax could be more better. Songs and BGM in the movie was good.

A.L Vijay's 'Vanamagan' is dedicated to the 100+ uncontacted (sparsely populated) tribes as per the end credits. However, it thoroughly sticks to its icky Tamil masala film formula. Six songs that bear no purpose whatsoever, are inserted at the worst of junctures.

The two positives about the film are a) The scene where Jayam Ravi's character Vaasi / Jaara treats the injured tiger that tried to harm a little child (the CGI isn't great but the sincerity in putting the thought across is felt!) b) The end credits which provide the audience with a brief on the dwindling numbers of tribal population all around the world.

What we get to see in the rest of the film is just stock characters (and a jungle-dweller) who go about their clichéd businesses of romance, song-and-dance routines, unconvincingly choreographed stunts, and oodles of tribal sentiment under the garb of a social message. A.L Vijay's intention is honest, but he succumbs to the 'isms' of Tamil cinema a tad too much for 'Vanamagan' to be taken seriously. The second half is slightly better than the first, mostly owing to the magnificent shooting locales in Andaman.

Sayyesha is an exceptional dancer but the same cannot be said about her acting skills (as yet!). Thambi Ramaiah annoys with his poor comic timing and one-liners. Prakash Raj repeats his trademark style while portraying the antagonist.

Verdict: Below average!

Whole film was just filled with climax. Love this movie watching. This movie is worth watching. I would recommend everyone watching this review, should watch for at least one time. The whole movie is about a guy who live in jungle of Andaman and later due to human interference.........
