Why are movies like this even made today? Valimai, starring Ajith Kumar is as every bit a cliché as you'd have expected it to be. It wasn't boring, because there was at least something going on on screen, but whatever that was, it certainly didn't add anything meaningful to this bloated genre in this bloated film industry.
The worst offender of this movie is its horrible villain, and his horrible character development. It's the most basic "bad guy who's ripped enough to look like an underwear model" with no depth or dimension whatsoever. And everything tied to his character too, was cringe-worthy. From the whole Satan's Slaves gimmick, to his brain-rotting "edgy" Tumblr incel philosophies and to his motivations of taking whatever he wants that makes him happy. Take some writing classes before you write a screenplay, Jesus Christ.
Overall, it wasn't a horrible movie but it's nowhere near even being average. Sad to see Ajith Kumar loosing his respect as an actor for his gnat IQ movie choices, one movie at a time.

A police officer tries to catch the principal offender who's the main reason for the crimes happens in a city.
Though this film follow some commercial templates, the essence of this film was so clear and didn't fades away at any point. And this film addresses some real crime numbers that were still continuing in the city. The reason for the crimes, why it's happening, and what's the problem with the person who commits the crime was showcased clearly. Ajith Kumar and the stunt sequences in this film were the main reason to holds the audience. Ajith's presence in each scenes gives the goosebumps especially the intro scene and his stunt scenes. The action sequences were so good. And want to tell mainly that the performance of kartikeya was so good and he handles all type of emotions well. And he is the perfect villian option for this film and for Ajith also. Imagine, how should an actor be powerful and fit to play a role/villain against Ajith as he itself a perfect villan and hero. The cinematographer and editor gave their work good and I think they did their best because the cinematography and editing was the reason to the action sequences came out so well. The back ground score was good and gives goosebumps. Finally the director H Vinoth, he tried his best to maintain the essence of the film till end and yeah definitely he won in that. But where he missed out was he followed some commercial templates as it felt disappointed came from him. Other than that his direction was so good and the way he potrayed the crime scenes was awesome. The solution he gave at the end was acceptable and he gave the solution from his point and it suits well.

Expected result . I expected a good action flick . I'm completely satisfied with the action sequence . Apart from action sequences , there was nothing surprising . Really missed H. Vinoth's touch . First half was good but Second half was lagged due some emotional scenes. Ajith done great job . Huma Qureshi and Karthikeya well supported . Most of the Ajith movies has good BGM support , but in this BGM was average . Cinematography was good . Overall a good weekend family entertainer to watch . Action movie lovers give a try and good treat for Ajith fans .

Not at all a satisfactory movie yet only for Ajith the solo pillar of the movie in a scriptless story..there is no story at all..
All the scenes in the movie are almost not related to each other and it's obvious that they have indulged those forcefully..
Even the background score and music is not supportive..only some scenes were pleasing but not worthy to speak..
1st half - a bit lengthy still the director itself searching for a story with bike riders and chasing scenes
2nd half - like Annathe ..it's quite explanatory by this one word..
Even the songs in movie is forced to be placed and emotional scenes..
Happy that there is no live and romance here.
Overall - after 2 years of waiting even a Ajith fan will not be happy after watching valimai losing all of his valimai after coming out of theatre.
Could have been better if some story i could have been there.

Well i come from Maharashtra and i knew not much about Ajith i had seen his transformation scene on YouTube,that's it. Then my dear friend recommended me one of his film i.e. Mankatha and i extremely liked that film and within week this films trailer had dropped which i liked so to say i was excited is an understatement.
This is without a doubt one of favourite films of the year the action set peieces are meticulously choreographed. The characters are relatable and that is the reason why this film work, the acting by all the cast members are good but the best thing about the film is the direction and cinematography.
Overall very good film that you can enjoy with family.
*PG7*
