VidaaMuyarchi

Ajith's latest film, Vidaamuyarchi, is definitely leagues above the trash he's been in over the last few years. Good scripts seem to be this guy's kryptonite because there hasn't been a single decent Ajith movie since Yennai Arindhaal-a whole decade ago! And no, Nerkonda Paarvai was a disaster; cope harder.

However, when the first trailer for Vidaamuyarchi dropped a couple of weeks ago, it felt like this movie could actually be pretty decent if executed well. Watching it in cinemas reinforced that the execution is what ultimately holds it back from being a truly good film. The plot itself wasn't terrible, but the writing surrounding it felt completely unaware of the mess it was creating. Those flashback sequences and everything in the third act? A testament to that chaos.

The first half of the movie was surprisingly good, albeit a tad slow. It set up a few intriguing narratives that made us curious about where it was headed. But then, around 15 minutes into the second half, it nosedived into a predictable mess. You could practically see the rest of the movie unfolding: our hero takes down the villains, and you're just left waiting to see how quickly you can get home. Toss in a few unintentionally comedic moments, and you've got a film that squanders its potential as an action thriller.

Still, it's not a movie I'd outright advise against watching. While it's not a masterpiece, it's definitely not bad. Technically, it's very sound, featuring gorgeous cinematography and serviceable action choreography that will at least keep your attention. And as far as Ajith movies go, that's a win in itself. Let's just hope the next one is even better!

The film begins with a captivating first half hour that sets the stage well for a promising ride.

I was eager to witness more romantic elements unfold, along with a deeper exploration of the couple's marriage and their strained relationship.

Although I anticipated that it would soon shift into a rescue thriller, and indeed it did.

Unfortunately, from thereon the writing became increasingly messy, spiraling into chaos with each passing second.

Up until the intermission, it managed to keep my interest, but after that, the plot became overly convoluted, resorting to the clichés of typical Tamil mainstream cinema. As for the climax, it's best left unmentioned as it lost all coherence by that point.

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.

This movie truly excels in every aspect, from its well-crafted direction to the powerful background music that enhances every scene. The acting is top-notch, with performances that feel authentic and deeply emotional. The screenplay is gripping, ensuring that every moment is engaging and logically structured. The pacing keeps you hooked, making it a film that never loses momentum. The story carries a strong message, leaving a lasting impact. A must-watch for those who love inspiring and thought-provoking cinema with great rewatch value.

Hatz off the the Vidamuyarchi team for this wonderful movie!!

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.
