Yaathisai

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon prime

First we need to appreciate the director for choosing this subject and stick to the authenticity as close as possible. That too with all new faces. It is so impressive. And it worked and gave lot of awe moments here and there in the movie....

Now come to negatives - Please lower your expectations. This is not a great entertainer and war sequences are so repetitive. The story is wafer thin and they tried the magic with the ancient touch. The camera work is great and locations are fine. But that also get repetitive more.

Lower your expectation, you might like it.

Overall film making is very good & particularly Camera and music is excellent.

Little difficult to understand Yeinargal language otherwise all is good...

Congratulations to Rajendran 👍 for giving a good movie, you have enough capability and talent to do Mr. Kamalahasan's " Marudhanayagam" movie

Try with big producers, 30% film is over, try to convince Mr. Kamal , we are waiting for that movie to see for many years.

I want to wish you over phone, if possible kindly provide your number, so that I will say my wishes heartedly.

Dear Producer..Great , this is a really Wonderful movie, what u have given to Tamil people, this film will give lot of confidence for Young actors

Unnecessarily People's are wasting thier money to going theatres for Top heroes movies, where thier producers are making money without any stories and logics, Hats off.

Nice attempt to take us back to Sangam time Tamil words.

Obviously not a family movie (revolves around war during the Chola times).

Obviously not a Gladiator.

And most of us may have to watch with English subtitles.

Often we hear about the Cheras, Cholas, Pandyas, Pallavas. We rarely know anything about the smaller clans that existed during the times of these giants. This movie tries to throw once such clan in the mainstream, by revolving the story around a Clan who get chased out, but want to return to civilization.

And loved the love the team shows for our ancient culture. Thanks a lot for making this movie!

Wasted your efforts,The language used in this movie is Tamil but the Tamil used centuries back now who could understand the language except some Tamil scholars and people who know how to read English subtitles .

Are you really talking the movie for Tamil audiance or only for countable few people, even many people in the movie cast can't understand that ancient Tamil.

Even though I am a Tamilan iam eager to watch this movie i can't understand that movie.

I think you only directed the movie for awards.

This movie has very less reviews because no one could understand this movie without watching the subtitles .

Good attempt

First of all appreciation to the whole team for this attempt . Yaathisai is a historical fiction that takes place in 7th century and had great potential . Dharani Rajendran in his debut did a great job in his writing , we can easily notice that they did a great research work , for example Einar clan's slang of Tamil was totally different and you can only understand the their dialogues with the help of subtitles . War sequences were well shot and well edited despite minimal graphics and minimal crowd . Major drawback of the movie was budget constraints , it draws a line between the audience and movie because most of the scenes fails to convey or register what's going on , just felt like bunch of scenes tied up together . Performance wise Cast did decent job . Cinematography and visuals were really good and eye pleasing on big screen . Music could've been better .

Overall , with good budget , better cast and better making this film could've been something spectacular in Indian cinema but yet good attempt with minimal resources . Watchable one .
