Uriyadi

A splendid Crime Thriller. Vijayakumar delivered his best with his debut movie. He handled all the departments with ease.. He was good in his acting, screenplay, execution and even casting.

Set in the late 90s, the story revolves around 3 set of characters where they come across. Results in a nail biting thriller which will keep you on the edge of the seats till the end of the movie. The first 10-15 minutes were cleverly used by the director to register the characters then takes you a roller coaster ride. Excellent Background Music by Masala Coffee Band (Sooraj Santhosh - you delivered the best.. Proud of you man)... added the spices in this delicious Thalappakkattu Biriyani. :P. Camera was top notch.. The color tone was too realistic.. I think that might be the main reason, that it gave a feel of the realistic incidents..

This is one of a gem.. Friends.. Go for it.. for its freshness, and raw feel..

9.4 on 10

Worth - Watching... so sad that i didn't get the chance to watch in cinemas coz.. the movie releases over here are limited...

The movie doesn't have unnecessary songs or funny characters to increase the runtime of the movie to 2hr 30 min. The screenplay is tight packed full of action and scenes which will keep you at the edge of your seat. Action scenes are raw and real unlike other South Indian movies where hero kicks a guy 15 feet into the air defying every law of physics.

Politics and caste are the main theme of this movie. Director has cleverly avoided mentioning any caste so it doesn't hurt people's believes and values. Full marks to actors, director, writer and technical team. Tamil movie industry is going in the right direction with this type of movies.

Enjoy the movie !!

I rather not compare Uriyadi to the western cult movies but it seems there is no better way of expressing the pure joy of watching this movie. Good movies like this show bravery of the cast and their willingness to go to any extent to get their message across. Just like classics such as Anbe Sivam that made Thamizh people all over the world proud of their industry, Uriyadi joins that mile high club. This movie has a lasting effect on you. I thought movies such as this without songs and marketing would be avoided by general audience, but I was wrong to some extent...most of the youth have watched this movie and connect with the pain and effort the makers have gone through. Its sad to see the interviews with Uriyadi makers who seem to lost all hope. But don't worry, the people stand behind you and please don't give up. Do continue to make good movies. We don't want a talent such as yours lost. You could try crowd funding your next project like they did for Lucia(Kannada) to ease the stress on the financial part and I guarantee you that we would do all that we can to support you.

Its definitely not a film for faint hearts but recommended for film enthusiasts.

A brutally honest and realistic film which depicts caste based politics in a thriller genre.

A bold attempt by the film maker Vijay kumar who directed, produced, acted and scored background music in this film.

you will not feel its a film by debutante as the film grips you till the end.

the cast include freshers except mime gopi whose an upcoming character artist.

mime gopi played his role aptly has a cunning caste party leader

The screenplay which is extremely focused on the narration takes you into the film and keeps you guessing till the end.

The director has got the best out of everyone.

This film is a masterpiece which deserves a place in the history of Tamil cinema.

This film has Strong content, Brilliant screenplay, Realistic film making, Mass moments and yet deals with very sensitive issue of India - Casteism. Amazed by the fact that the Director has put tremendous hard work and done the Background score, 1 version of editing, Writing, Producing and acting and excelled in all. Such passion and effort brings respect on South Indian film industry.
