Vazhakku Enn 18/9 (U/A)-------------------Rating: 5/5

It is a realistically taken with all stuffs used in today's world... no songs but the story is inspired by true events.... It is must watch movie by all... DON'T miss it....

Vazhakku Enn 18/9 is a tamil drama thriller film and the movie is about the present city teenagers who fell in love, the problems faced by them & how they react to it.

'Vazhakku Enn' has moments that leave a lump in your throat. It needs a man with conviction like Balaji Shakthivel to come up with such a convincing film. Hats off the whole team for a splendid show! A must-watch this summer...

Cinematography by Vijay Milton is the hallmark of the movie. Shot in soft lens, every frame speaks for itself on screen. Specially the scenes where Aarthy comes to know about Dinesh and his motives, how she manages to get his memory card are picturised well.

Prasanna's background score is something that lends solid support to Balaji Shakthivel's sincere efforts. Complimenting the whole unit's good work is slick editing by Gopi Krishna.

It's a great movie. Story, characters, acting everything is great, but this movie is in dull colour if the contrast is high this movie would be great.

There is no way you can watch Vazhakku Enn 18/9 without shedding tears or getting angry. This was a moving storytelling that touched on crucial issues of our society

Delicious -One aspect that stood out in Vazhakku Enn 18/9 was the cinematography. You can tell Vijay Milton enjoys being behind the camera. The versatility of shots and angles took the story to another level, bravo!

-Vazhakku Enn 18/9 was such a down-to-earth story showing how Velu coming from humble beginnings in a rural area struggled to seek better opportunities in the city. The people he met, both sympathetic and dishonest, helped shape his character. On the other hand, we witnessed Aarthi, a young rich girl, seeking fulfilling relationships in the city -Great warnings about the fragility of boy-girl relationships and the atrocities done on the poor (we'll stop here to avoid spoiling the movie).

What we admired in the story was Velu's and Aarthy's sincerity, their social statuses didn't impede their judgment to embark on crooked paths -There were no boring moments, everything just flowed smoothly. Using flashbacks to tell a story can be poorly executed at times, but this was not the case here; the nice transitions to the past enhanced the narrative -Make-up and costume designers did a spectacular job on the actors; they looked like actual people living on the streets, especially when it came to Velu's (Sri) denture -Acting was natural across the cast and kudos to Aarthi (Manisha Yadav)!

Bland -Dubbing suffered a little 🙁

Indian government system is corrupt. In India there is a distinct class divide - rich and poor. Poor in India suffer in the hands of rich. These messages that the movie tries to communicate, so self-righteously, are not news to anybody in India.The movie tries to make up for its weak story line with melodrama and provocative visuals. Story randomly jumps from showcasing one evil to another evil in Indian society. Not sure if its based on a true story ( as no such claim were made ) but the incidents shown in the movie looks believable.Perhaps, a documentary around the subjects(if true) would have been better. Actors have done a good job in an otherwise disappointing and distressing movie.
