Yaathisai

This movie is in a league of its own. Despite the Obvious low budget, this movie delivers on an epic scale with fantastic acting, cinematography, and a very strong storyline. The makers have fantastically managed whatever budget was available to them. The combat scenes are so well executed and keeps us glued.

The pace of the movie is engaging from the start, with demonstrations of lifestyle beautifully woven into the narrative. There is a huge amount of violence but it doesn't make you uncomfortable.

Really in awe of the conviction of the makers in bringing out this film. Hopefully they will get better budgets for the next part.

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.

This isn't a movie. The Life of Art.

The scenery is how it is, and neither the Tamil people nor Auravaram are painted.

This is not being overstated.

Extremely good original.

Tamil people should rejoice over this.

A tremendous epic that the public has celebrated.

Greetings to the crew and director.

A good effort was made by the producer and director to finance this film.

Every new character gave their finest performance.

Kothi the real hero of the movie also that's man apocalypto character it's amazing.

This movie's battle scene and performances are far superior than those in PS1 and PS2.

The filmmaker would have advanced it for the film and in promotion if money wasn't an issue. Good work, team. Waiting for part 2.

Congrats team #Yathisai.

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 .

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 .
