Madha Gaja Raja

I mean it was a masala film with comedy, fight, emotions and stuffs. The comedy segment with Manobala was enjoyable to me. Santa's comedy made me laugh a few time though the crowd seemed to laugh (I honestly thought that they added the "crowed laughing" background sound in few instances). One thing that I made me very uncomfortable was definitely the Women objectification through the movie. The characters always ogled the actresses whenever they get a chance and made sure that we knew it verbally too. Like bro I can see you doing it you don't have to spoil my ears with your running commentary too. Idk maybe it has been a long time since I saw movies in that time period I guess 🤷‍♀️

I have no idea how stressful it must be for people who're waiting for their film to release, I don't know if people got paid for their work more than decade ago, but I'm happy that the film finally got a release and happier that it was a success.

This film....doesn't take itself seriously and you're in the wrong if you watch it any other way. It's a pointless movie and if you go in with that expectation, you're surprisingly not gonna be bored. The good parts are entertaining, the bad parts are so bad that they're so good. The biggest selling point of the film - It was not boring. It was so much better than Indian 2. So much better than Game Changer.

I've never been a fan of Santhanam's comedy, so I don't know why hype now, I don't get the "Come back to comedy Santa!" Mokka comedy pannitu laughter riot nu sonna.....to each their own. There's a fight in the film which, minus the heroism, almost makes you want to consider how good a serious hand-to-hand combat sequence with Vishal could be....

The comedy, the plot, the songs, everything about this film is at least 20 years too late. It would have been a 10-yr late film had it released on time in 2012. This delay worked out in its favor and I guess the nostalgia sold it to the crowds. It's a bad film, but it was not boring 😐

At least, that's what I felt as this movie dragged on forever, filled with outdated, lame jokes and absolute brainrot. I understand that it's an old film, but even for its time, it's terrible. There's a difference between something aging poorly and something that was never good to begin with, this falls into the latter category. Every minute felt like an eternity, and I kept saying this to myself "why am I still watching this?".

The pacing is another major issue. Scenes drag on with no sense of urgency, stretching thin material beyond its breaking point. At times, I wondered if the film had actually ended and I was just experiencing some kind of post-traumatic hallucination.

By the time the credits rolled, I wasn't relieved, I was angry. Movies like this make me question my entire existence. If I wanted to waste my time I could have just stared at a blank wall for two hours. At least that would have been less painful.

When I saw this film in the theater, I really liked all the comedy lines in it. Most importantly, Santhanam's comedy has worked very well in the film. Manobaala's comedy performance, which was talked about by everyone, was excellent.

This movie is family-friendly but at the same time it contains some Glamour. But they bloom in the film and won't make you frown in any way.

If you want to watch a movie with your family without thinking too much about anything, this is a good movie for that.

Since the film's screenplay was written 12 years ago, we can't really apply it to much today. But you don't realize that's a big flaw.

As we see this movie in 2025 we realize how far the tamil movies have evolved. These days all movies are either focusing on big budget or societal problems. In the midst of all the chaotic movies Sundar C delivers what he is good at always. Couldnt ask for a better Sundar C movie. Thoroughly enjoyed. The blend of proper glamour, drama, comedy, action. Just go empty minded and enjoy the movie. Vijay Antony strikes even now in 2025 with his 2013 made music. Santa's classic comedy performance is all hearts. I felt VARLAKSHMI would have had a different film carrier if this movie would have been released on time. A classic SundarC masala mixed mass entertainer.
