Vetrivel

There was a time in Tamil Films Era, where the background is a village, the characters are villagers, events that unfold are what you as an individual, having experienced a Tamil Village life, would see if those events were to happen in your life too. Yet, what made this movie still a commercially viable product was that they were entertaining after all. A pretty good examples of Realistic Entertainers, with the additional baggage of being grounded to Indian Culture and Way of Living. And then worst things happened by misunderstanding what a commercial movie should have, leading to all the clichés we assosciate with a mindless masala movie.

After a very long time, I've seen a movie that remains as grounded as possible without compromising on mandatory commercial elements, and yet is smart, fun, emotional and touching your heart, arousing memories of relatives back in your native place. Vetrivel is a movie that neither tries to be larger than realism nor tries to be smaller than an entertaining masala movie. You have people who are real people you will encounter, and the way things happen and will react are the ways that you would do too under similar circumstances. Watch this movie and go back with complete satisfaction.

However, if you have never experienced a Tamil Village life or watched a movie based on one, or if you are looking for some Cinematic Genius work, this movie will fail you. But, if you are like me missing some of the fun Village Classics of 80s and 90s and wish a more modern updated version for current times be made, with least nonsense, Vetrivel is a must-watch.

(PS: I did not enjoy the Thambi Ramaiah comedy portion or the Nadodigal movie references. Was totally unnecessary, not even for the mandatory commercial portion. Yet, rest assured they would not hamper your experience, unless you decide to take them very seriously.)

I know it's a late review. But when I saw this movie having low rating I couldn't ignore it without giving a review. It is a village love story involving family sentiments, caste & prestige issue.

Pros: 1. Screenplay is excellant. Director handled the sentiments very well.

2. Instead of just showing caste and prestige as bad things, their point of view and emotions were expressed very well.

3. Never felt any cringe moments during messages conveyed in the film.

4. Comedy and songs were appropriate for the film. "Unna Pola" song was extraordinary.

5. Fast screenplay. Never felt the need to skip few seconds.

6. Casting and their acting came out well.

Definitely watchable with whole family and friends.

Sasikumar and all acted well and this is very good family entertaining movie. Screen play is excellent and music is Okay type. Verrivel movie is same like Sasikumar's previous movies Nadodikal and Sundrapandian but not exactly.This movie typical Sasikumar,s movie and he is giving good message to brother and Father and Mother. That is very nice. Finally Oththaasai also getting good message. We can see the movie more time not one time.

Background Music need to be improve little bit. Sasikumar selecting and acting very nice movies. He will catch the good place of Tamil film industry very soon. He is missing his love for his brother love and that is very surprised for all viewers and very nice.

Film is very good family entertaining for this summer.

The movie was not so good. But the movie was somewhat good. Songs and BGM were good in the movie. Climax was not good in the movie. It is not at all interesting as it has an old story.
