Yaathisai

This Movie deserves a great applause for their efforts and making. Appreciate the production team in believing this story. Very good attempt in history telling almost like watching real chera chola pandias and Einer clan. Their life, food habits, culture. Director did lot of research and presented in the movie. Felt like i am watching real history in front of me. Artist acting was real. Especially the Kodhi character and Ranatheera Pandia character, Never a lag moment and Understanding the budget limitations director and team had done an fabulous job. Great work by the art director and cinematographer, Must watch. Expecting next series in this line!!

Good attempt

First of all appreciation to the whole team for this attempt . Yaathisai is a historical fiction that takes place in 7th century and had great potential . Dharani Rajendran in his debut did a great job in his writing , we can easily notice that they did a great research work , for example Einar clan's slang of Tamil was totally different and you can only understand the their dialogues with the help of subtitles . War sequences were well shot and well edited despite minimal graphics and minimal crowd . Major drawback of the movie was budget constraints , it draws a line between the audience and movie because most of the scenes fails to convey or register what's going on , just felt like bunch of scenes tied up together . Performance wise Cast did decent job . Cinematography and visuals were really good and eye pleasing on big screen . Music could've been better .

Overall , with good budget , better cast and better making this film could've been something spectacular in Indian cinema but yet good attempt with minimal resources . Watchable one .

First we need to appreciate the director for choosing this subject and stick to the authenticity as close as possible. That too with all new faces. It is so impressive. And it worked and gave lot of awe moments here and there in the movie....

Now come to negatives - Please lower your expectations. This is not a great entertainer and war sequences are so repetitive. The story is wafer thin and they tried the magic with the ancient touch. The camera work is great and locations are fine. But that also get repetitive more.

Lower your expectation, you might like it.

What if you see a historical fiction on kings and wars, but the protagonist is not the Baahubali King but rather an unknown man who lost his clan and livelihood.

The movie is interesting that it did not take a stand on war (or) the protagonist but it just follows sequence of events around "losing and gaining back authority" and the lives and tribes lost for the same. The politics is brilliantly shown and also underlies the fate of small clans that supports these big kings and their authority also.

The production value is below par for such a good story and hope the makers rectify it if there is any sequel!!

Wasted your efforts,The language used in this movie is Tamil but the Tamil used centuries back now who could understand the language except some Tamil scholars and people who know how to read English subtitles .

Are you really talking the movie for Tamil audiance or only for countable few people, even many people in the movie cast can't understand that ancient Tamil.

Even though I am a Tamilan iam eager to watch this movie i can't understand that movie.

I think you only directed the movie for awards.

This movie has very less reviews because no one could understand this movie without watching the subtitles .
