Aayitha Ezhuthu

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!

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???

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👏👏👏👏

Aayutha ezhuthu is an underrated film of Maniratnam. Despite being the first tamil film to introduce hyperlink narrative style with a exciting screenplay I dont know why it was not celebrated like other Mani sir's movies like Nayagan, Thalapathy, Iruvar , Alaipayuthey etc. To this day Aayutha ezhuthu is my most fav movie done by Maniratnam.

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).
