    Just say youthful,if you are an youth, you will suddenly feel it!

    Before beginning,i like to say something to Mr Roby Kurian (USA) ,who reviewed earlier, Mr. you like to be proud finding similarities between movies,but i don't think you will never be satisfied watching movies,as you always look for similarities,not let yourself to enjoy the movie. Its not a remake of that Mexican film.

    Now come to the movie.Here are few messages to the people,specially the youth. You will find it when watching the movie.Some of them may match with you also.The bullshit politics is dragged down here,and the new era in politics is also shown.It is the Student who have to make changes. They must.They are the mass who could save their nation.This movie reflects the present politics of south Asia region . Madhban,Surya,Sidarth...and..rest of them acted very well.

    A Modern Cult Classic

    If you have to name one Mani Ratnam's best movies what would it be? There is Mouna Ragam, Geethanjali, Agni Natchathiram, Nayakan, Anjali, Thalapathi, Roja, Bombay, Iruvar, Dil Se, Alai Payuthey, Kannathil Muthamittal, Guru, Raavanan, OK Kanmani, and Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. These are all one of India's best movies.

    But what about Ayutha Ezhuthu? Who knew that Mani Ratnam created such a film? It is pretty underrated that not a lot of people talk about this movie nowadays even though this was a blockbuster hit at its time of release. This is something different and something new. Yes, this is inspired partly from Amores Perros but it is not a remake. The narrative style is something that made this film quite unique especially showing how the lives of three people would be connected following an incident. Suriya showed his best performance in this movie. This will be one of his best performances till date. I really liked the way how his character Michael is inspired by a prominent youth named George Reddy. Madhavan did a great job portraying a thug who worked for a politician. Siddharth of course gave his youthful presence as a careless high school teen. Meera Jasmine did a good job in portraying Inbasker's estrangled wife. I never knew Esha Deol is in this movie and her Tamil is pretty good. Trisha Krishnan of course is really gorgeous and would be one of the best actresses of India. And of course, P. Bharathiraja just gave an memorable presence as a politician the main antagonist in this movie.

    A.R. Rahman and Mani Ratnam just show that they are one of the best teams in the world. A.R. Rahman gives different genres of music of this new millennial and an awesome BGM that suits well to this movie. He just really masters EDM and you would really love the acoustics. This is going to be one of his best works of all time.

    Ayutha Ezhuthu would be counted as Mani Ratnam's best movies. This just something different from the masala blockbusters and what you call a true action movie. This is definitely a modern cult classic that will be remembered for many generations. This is a must watch for anyone interested in Indian movies and action fans. Definitely going to watch this a bunch of times.

    Something non-linear about it

    Just watched this movie for the umpteenth time, since 2003. The catch of this movie would be the non-linearity with which it moves, similar to that 'Alaipayuthey'. This could give you the feeling of watching a Tarantino movie.

    Remember watching this movies with my folks and I had to make them digest the way the story moved with the individual perceptions of the main 3 characters.

    The title of the movie is a Tamil vowel, which are 3 dots, signifying the 3 of them.

    Some may feel parts of the movie as redundant as they are repeated time and again. But they do blend well in the course of time.

    Kudos to Maniji for making an actor of each one of them. Even non-performers have done their bit.

    Better watch the movie if you still haven't.

    High-Light: Of course Madhavan

    An Underrated masterpiece

    Aayutha ezhuthu is an underrated film of Maniratnam. Despite being the first tamil film to introduce hyperlink narrative style with a exciting screenplay I dont know why it was not celebrated like other Mani sir's movies like Nayagan, Thalapathy, Iruvar , Alaipayuthey etc. To this day Aayutha ezhuthu is my most fav movie done by Maniratnam.

    • Trivia
      Initially, the movie was planned to be made without songs, and Mani Ratnam had roped in composer A.R. Rahman only for the background score. However, in due course, Rahman came up with a few tunes and harmonies which impressed Mani Ratnam so much that they ended up being placed as 6 songs in the film.
