I wondered why there hasn't been a review yet for this brilliant movie. I was waiting to catch this flick and got a chance yesterday. I have to say it was worth the wait.
On seeing Quentin Tarantino's movies, I wondered why there aren't such a kickass story telling in making, in an industry like Thamizh Cinema, which produces most number of movies each year. The answer is Uriyadi.
Be it the casting, the BGM, the sub-plots, everything supported the script perfectly. The cinematography and editing made the screenplay even more intense and pacy.
The interval block and the climax were the most smartly shot scenes that I have witnessed in recent times.
Kudos to the whole cast and crew of the movie! Especially Vijay. This movie will gain cult status for sure.
My Rating - 10/10 purely for its brilliance.

A group of college kids get tangled in a war between 2 factions belonging to different castes. The leader of one of the factions tries to leverage their involvement to instigate the public and use it as a platform to enter into politics, going to ugly lengths to meet the same. Blind to this fact of being taken advantage of and with their lives and future at stake, how the students deal with the problem forms the plot of Uriyadi.
Whats Good?
1. The movie is equally raw in it presentation of the story as it is professional, a balance that even the most experienced of directors struggled to bring. 2. Almost all the actors seem apt for the roles and have played their part aptly. 3. Sequences that show the daily life of college students is accurate and entertaining 4. The movie's ending which is a bit hard to believe, surprisingly does not make the viewer feel the same 5. The ending is well orchestrated and has Tarantino feel to it
Whats Bad?
1. The romantic sequence in the movie seems to have no head or toe as it serves no relevance to plot. 2. Ending is a bit had to believe, but one does get a consolation as the director has built the plot so well that any other ending would have left the viewer very unfulfilled 3. Could have been better if there were 2 strong leaders for the caste factions as that would have made it feel even more realistic
Vijay Kumar, has done an exceptional job for a first time director and actor. He has definitely made me look forward to his future projects eagerly. The movie has successfully managed to capture and present the murky world of caste politics that plagues the sub urban Indian society. With a plot that is both controversial and brutal, Vijay has created a cult movie.

First, a big congrats to Vijaykumar for choosing this movie as his launch pad.
The freshness of storytelling about a very sensitive plot using the backdrop of college life is a brilliant attempt. This movie keeps you engrossed to the screen and you never know when the 90 minutes is over. It keeps lingering in your mind for a long time after watching it. Every character has been chosen perfectly and blended with crisp screenplay, top class cinematography and added with a sizzling background score this film is a class of its own.
Thanks to Vijaykumar. Though this film might not be a commercial success due to the release in lesser number of screens and lesser promotional activities, Vijaykumar - your next film will definitely will have high expectations.
This is one movie tamil cinema can be proud of for years to come.
