    "Life is simple, it gets complicated when love becomes a part of it."

    As the title reads, the characters in the movie also are complicated because of love. Love for the power, love for the people, love for status and love for money. And as the lead character name itself is Anbu(meaning love) how can his life be simpler. Part 1 is mainly focused on how 'Anbu' is dragged into the world of darkness. The Staging of scenes are done very realistically, which even more boost up the intensity of the film. Director does his best job by portraying the actual rawness of the place.Talking about the camera work for the first few minutes, the camera movement was very visible but later as film goes on, the camera movement becomes static which gives a essence of looking through the eye of the characters in the movie. The Beauty of the film is the action sequence, it is precisely choreographed. And talking about the background music, it just blends with visual. On whole the film is engaging with all the aspects of life, the love sequences of the film doesn't disturb the engaging narration, instead it makes it even more better, this is the best part of the film. More than a film about gangster, it is film about life. The cast of the film did their best work. The one reason which holds the film back is the 'A rated' certificate which keeps away many people from going to the theatre.

    Routine story line with a grippy awesome screenplay

    A perfect film is the one that can involve the audiences into the story.Vada chennai is one such blended masterpiece.Every scene will have reality in it.Every scene teaches something to the audience, eg:the lives of prisoners .With non linear screenplay,we try to connect the scenes to have clarity which makes us not to get bored and suspense remains throughout the film.Since i am a non tamilians,i couldn't get the feel of dialogues.No need of review the performance of actors.They did as if they were made for that.The director didn't even try to elevate the hero as in normal movies but the story itself elevated the hero.I got stunned by watching Andrea in that role.Music and bgm by Santhosh Narayan makes the movie more emotional.

    Movie of the decade

    Please don't wounder if this movie becomes a cult classic in next 10 years. The story has been crafted with attention to detail. Movies like this keeps the young generation directors motivated. Actors appearing in each and every frame has done their job with perfection. The craftsmanship of vettri maran has taken the movie to the next level. Please do watch the movie in theaters.

    VADACHENNAI

    The story starts with a murder without revealing the victim.The huge plus of the movie was it's screenplay.Top notch performance by every character in the film.Dhanush had lived the character of Anbu.All the changes in Anbu were so real.This story makes you a part of it in which you have to decide your side.All actors in the movie had given their best of their career.This movie gives you a feel like "why did it end".
