Aayitha Ezhuthu

Aayitha Ezhuthu is yet another class-A movie from Mani Ratnam. And please note that it is not a remake of the Mexican movie 'Amores Perros' as said by another user. If you had seen amores perros and understood the movie, you'd come to know that aayitha ezhuthu is completely different from it. There are many movie with the same theme - an incident making the characters meet, for eg. 21 grams which was released in 2000, long before amores perros concept was even conceived. So shall I call Amores perros a shameless remake of 21 grams - remove the authenticity, good actors, change the theme and voila!!! u get Amores perros???

I didn't really know what to think of "Ayutha Ezuthu" after the first time that I saw it - I suppose I was expecting a much different movie - but after revisiting it, I really have come to appreciate and enjoy it. Mani Ratnam is really a director who understands characters and shapes them with such heart and soul. The real stand-out actor here for me is Madhavan, who portrays Inba, the street thug who aspires to overcome his low-life existence but does it in all the wrong ways. The nuances of his character really show, and the 180-degree reversal from what we are used to seeing him as makes his performance all the more appealing. And Bharathi Raja ... wow! He comes off as a cunning and very humorous villain, and the exchanges between Surya and him are certainly something to see. I would least expect Mani Ratnam to put out something with a political message, but he does it with grace and style. A big thumbs up!

Brilliant Story and executed in good manner. As usual Mani Proves himself. Surya acting is gone extreme and his manerisms are showed mature. sidarth looks new choclate boy, Atlast maddy has gotten new role in his carrier (arrogant man with only one loving wife). ARR given very good music and BGM . Nice movie (what we want now is started on the screen).

After watching n number of times I won't feel bored!! Complicated story portrayed in a classic way Thank you mani sir and his team👏👏👏👏

Just watched this movie for the umpteenth time, since 2003. The catch of this movie would be the non-linearity with which it moves, similar to that 'Alaipayuthey'. This could give you the feeling of watching a Tarantino movie.

Remember watching this movies with my folks and I had to make them digest the way the story moved with the individual perceptions of the main 3 characters.

The title of the movie is a Tamil vowel, which are 3 dots, signifying the 3 of them.

Some may feel parts of the movie as redundant as they are repeated time and again. But they do blend well in the course of time.

Kudos to Maniji for making an actor of each one of them. Even non-performers have done their bit.

Better watch the movie if you still haven't.

High-Light: Of course Madhavan
