This film is not exactly a frame-by-frame remake, but you can definitely spot its inspiration from the movie "Breakdown". However, the makers have spiced things up with a few fresh elements and a few unexpected plot twists, making it an engaging yet lengthy watch.
The storytelling is slow paced but thanks to an intriguing screenplay that keeps you hooked. Unlike the usual Star studded commercial entertainers loaded with formulaic sequences and dance numbers, this film dares to be different.
Now, let's talk about Ajith - the man of the hour! He appears in four distinct looks across different timelines, and except for the black-bearded one (which is debatable), he looks effortlessly stylish and dashing. His performance? One of his career-best! He nails the emotional scenes, dominates the action sequences, and is absolutely charming in the romantic portions.
Trisha, on the other hand, is a vision of beauty, especially in the flashback sequences. Her acting is subtle, natural, and simply top-notch. Together, Ajith and Trisha exude an international charm, making them look like stars straight out of a Hollywood film.
Antagonists Arjun and Regina deliver solid performances, adding more depth to the story. The rest of the cast does a commendable job too.
Coming to the technical aspects - the cinematography is stunning, with world-class color grading that enhances the visuals. The locations are breathtaking, making every frame a treat for the eyes. Music is pleasant, complementing the film well. Sets, costumes, and makeup are meticulously done, adding to the grandeur. And let's not forget the action sequences, which are choreographed brilliantly!
Magizh Thirumeni's direction is commendable.
Overall, this is a stylish, well-crafted film that is definitely worth watching!

Extraordinary screen play and AK, Arjun, Regina acting were speechless. You can see an new character shade of Ajith Kumar in this movie. Magizh thirumeni proves that tamil cinema also have a knowledge of making like a hollywood movie. First half was little bit slow especially AK and Trisha were going to the trip. First of all it's not a trip. That's their last trip together. They decided to take a divorce. After Arjun and Aarav's entry the whole movie was fire. As usual rocking star Anirudh plays a vital role. Background score like a fire, especially drum beat plays and suddenly stopped then audience will shout "Ajitheyyyyy".
Second half was unexpectable. I thought that second half also had a lag. But AK's character also change in the second half. This movie shows what happens when a common man gets angry. There is no punch dialogues and there is no commercial scenes and there is no audience favourable reference. It's just an action film to watch with your family. Overall don't expect anything, just go and watch the film. Definitely you will enjoy the film. At the end this is the real pongal by Magizh thirumeni.

This movie is an official remake of the Hollywood film Breakdown, starring Ajith Kumar, Action King Arjun, Trisha, with music by Rockstar Anirudh, and directed by Magizh Thirumeni.
I was really impressed by the director because he turned a big mass hero into a subtle character. There are no big action scenes or punch dialogues, but the hero looks very classy. Honestly, it's a great effort to change a mass hero into an ordinary man, and it worked well. The director took time to set up the story and slowly build it. He also made sure to introduce every important character, and it turned out great. The cinematography was a highlight of the movie; it brought the film to life. Anirudh's music took the movie to another level, especially the last 20 minutes, which were amazing.
However, there are a few flaws. The first one is that after watching the movie, I couldn't remember the story. It's a good film, but the story feels a bit weak. They took an idea and just built the screenplay around it. Also, the movie isn't very fast-paced; some people might find it boring, but I didn't feel that way.
Apart from that, I liked the film and think it's something you can watch with your family.

Have lost hope on AK. The three V's with Shiva have literally made to hate him for his script selection. The last liked movie was Yennai Arinthal. Valimai and Thunivu were kind of bits and pieces movie. When it came from H Vinoth i understood that it was AK who is clueless not putting any effort to get better out of himself even basics like get ups, looks or dialogue delivery
However in Vidaamuyarchi though still not upto Yennai Arinthal it was a good watch. Credit to Magizh. AK is still AK. He acts like he is all goodness and modern version of Maryadha Purushothaman Raman. Loves his wife even if she had an affair, Wastes his bullets, arrows only below the knee of goons and quite funny he never even attempts to kill the villian in the end the villian gets fed up of his begging " en manavi enga"and kills himself. AK's pureness of heart Kind of over kill. The one dialogue he attempt in the petro bunk is cringy and he was rightly called as boomer for that. Thankfully there is no transformation scenes or mass punch dialogue.
Overall a bearable movie from AK after a decade.
