Vaazha: Biopic of a Billion Boys

Vaazha captures a deep sense of connection with the story and the characters. It sounds like the film resonated with me on a personal level, reflecting the journey and struggles of many young Indian boys, which made it all the more relatable. The bond between the five main characters seems to have been portrayed authentically, keeping us invested throughout the film.

Even though the ending wasn't a traditionally "happy" one, lets just appreciate the emotional closure and the fact that the friendship endured, which added to the movie's charm. The performances of the actors were evidently impressive, as they brought their characters to life, making the emotional highs and lows feel genuine. The background score also seems to have enhanced the overall experience without overpowering the narrative.

Giving it an 8 out of 10 shows that I found Vaazha both engaging and satisfying, despite its bittersweet conclusion.

This was an entertaining watch - one you can watch with friends and even family - but with friends you might enjoy the first half tremendously. ( Especially if you older than say 27-28 ).

First les talk about what works : -

1. Casting was spot on - the story happens across different time periods and all actors, especially the child actors of various ages played convincingly and the pair of father's and their son were casted really well as well. Especially the pair of Noby and his son ( all actors including child actors resembled him )

2. Period settings were on point ( the dress may be less so, but attention to detail was really commendable)

3. Cinematography and screenplay was organic and done with passion and finesse ( there is a fight scene near the middle which was brilliantly shot, similarly the stunning shots towards the end, inside the house, hospital - all were excellent.

4. Perfomance were pretty good - especially Aziz and Kottayam Naseer.

Now things that could be better -

1. Editing / direction could have been more crisp - the pace in the second half felt a bit too slow and few scenes seemed a bit of repetition and few elements felt could be elaborated or explained with more depth ( the story line around the 'sucessful' guy and his troubles and issues could either have been excluded or explained a bit more in detail - now it looks like a caricature and you don't 'feel' much for his plight due to this )

2. Ending was good and bad - won't go into details since it might spoil - but more depth could have given on what happens to the boys a bit more

3. Music and score was just ok - not really giving any lasting impression ( I cannot even recollect any song from the movie after leaving the theatre)

The story is pretty straightforward and this combined with clever acting and directing makes this movie an above-average experience. The talent-rich cast is one of the main highlights of this film.

The climax could have been executed more neatly, but that's not a drawback at all. After all, this is a pure comedy movie. There were lots of laughable moments. The second half was more engaging for me.

The veteran actors has done a great job. Noby Marcose deserves more roles like this and there is no point in typecasting him as a mimicry star.

Overall a good movie and we would love to see more films from the same cast in the future.

This movie has plenty to go for, nostalgic moments ,comedies and sentiments all ; a Emotional rollercoaster !!

A lot of newcomers and social media influencers are in it ,every one shines ; siju sunny is excellent and Azees Nedumangad done pretty well and joemon jyothir is fabulous !!!

A perfect choice for youth and family to Enjoy !!

Super hit is Locked for sure !!

Vaazha is an entertainer, but tried to cover a "sophisticated subject" in a movie medium. The actors gave a commendable performance, everyone fits to their role. The screenplay was superb, but slightly failed to capture the totality of emotions between son & father/parents.

The film brings smile even to the older generations. And it gives a real remedy for suicidal thoughts😁. If you watch with your parents, then you get many topics for discussion and for sharing emotions further.

It gives a feeling to everyone that life is a continuous journey for those who stand even after failures. They explained a serious subject in a funny way.

Editing was good. Good creativity, overall...!!
