Vaazha: Biopic of a Billion Boys

The story is mainly about five friends who come together and their seriously mischievous acts. Their parents try to separate them but they end up together in same engineering institute. All of them are bad at studies how will they cope up in this cruel world.

I saw a Hindi dubbed version and I thoroughly enjoyed 80 percent of movie. I enjoyed it as a native viewer. I don't know if it would be same for people from south. The movie is a hilarious drama-comedy.

The 20 percent that I dint enjoy comes as we approach end. The boys weak at studies how will they cope up? It's shown their parents finally support them and even take up insult from relatives. Also I dint like the negative ending.

It came to my mind that in real world parents mostly hide what their children are pursuing with something respectful if their children are weak. This was not shown.

Music in Hindi dubbed version is above average.

Final Verdict: Do watch it. With the hilarious comedy in place, I was jumping in my seats. You may be surprised.

Vaazha captures a deep sense of connection with the story and the characters. It sounds like the film resonated with me on a personal level, reflecting the journey and struggles of many young Indian boys, which made it all the more relatable. The bond between the five main characters seems to have been portrayed authentically, keeping us invested throughout the film.

Even though the ending wasn't a traditionally "happy" one, lets just appreciate the emotional closure and the fact that the friendship endured, which added to the movie's charm. The performances of the actors were evidently impressive, as they brought their characters to life, making the emotional highs and lows feel genuine. The background score also seems to have enhanced the overall experience without overpowering the narrative.

Giving it an 8 out of 10 shows that I found Vaazha both engaging and satisfying, despite its bittersweet conclusion.

This was an entertaining watch - one you can watch with friends and even family - but with friends you might enjoy the first half tremendously. ( Especially if you older than say 27-28 ).

First les talk about what works : -

1. Casting was spot on - the story happens across different time periods and all actors, especially the child actors of various ages played convincingly and the pair of father's and their son were casted really well as well. Especially the pair of Noby and his son ( all actors including child actors resembled him )

2. Period settings were on point ( the dress may be less so, but attention to detail was really commendable)

3. Cinematography and screenplay was organic and done with passion and finesse ( there is a fight scene near the middle which was brilliantly shot, similarly the stunning shots towards the end, inside the house, hospital - all were excellent.

4. Perfomance were pretty good - especially Aziz and Kottayam Naseer.

Now things that could be better -

1. Editing / direction could have been more crisp - the pace in the second half felt a bit too slow and few scenes seemed a bit of repetition and few elements felt could be elaborated or explained with more depth ( the story line around the 'sucessful' guy and his troubles and issues could either have been excluded or explained a bit more in detail - now it looks like a caricature and you don't 'feel' much for his plight due to this )

2. Ending was good and bad - won't go into details since it might spoil - but more depth could have given on what happens to the boys a bit more

3. Music and score was just ok - not really giving any lasting impression ( I cannot even recollect any song from the movie after leaving the theatre)

This movie show us that society needs only successful people to brings it's reputation to higher it's place. But does not care for those persons whom are being unsuccessful in their life. Everyone force their childs to study more but doesn't want to know what their child wants to be in his life. So I , with my personal opinion, support this movie and their basic concepts and want more like that to encourage our society that everyone is obviously fine in his place and don't force your children to do else what they really want in their life. Really this movie is fantastic and their characters are very impressive and such a new faces .

The story is pretty straightforward and this combined with clever acting and directing makes this movie an above-average experience. The talent-rich cast is one of the main highlights of this film.

The climax could have been executed more neatly, but that's not a drawback at all. After all, this is a pure comedy movie. There were lots of laughable moments. The second half was more engaging for me.

The veteran actors has done a great job. Noby Marcose deserves more roles like this and there is no point in typecasting him as a mimicry star.

Overall a good movie and we would love to see more films from the same cast in the future.
