    Brilliant is the word

    amazingly crafted movie. engages the audience from the minute one to the end of the movie giving it an unusual twist to the climax. I'm sure Balaji Kumar(Director) will change the way movies are made in Tamil cinema.he sure proves his mettle with his meticulous detailing in every scene.the Music of the film does not sound like the usual Tamil film song. has a very international touch and sounds more global. the background score is the icing.Beautiful amalgamation of lights, color and sound. the movie retains within you even after walking out of the cinema halls.just one word "Brilliant". one movie you should go watch it in the theaters.

    One of Tamil cinema's finest!

    I am a Tamilian, and am generally disappointed at the quality of movies they make here in Kollywood. Having said that, every year one or two movies really catch your attention, make you sit up and take note of a rare movie-making talent. One such movie is Balaji K. Kumar's Vidiyum Munn. The story, screenplay, photography, editing and direction are near fault-less. All the more remarkable given the shoe-string budget in which the movie must have been made. Kudos to Balaji K. Kumar and team!

    One movie I can proudly recommend to non-Tamil audiences. Watch it and you will not be disappointed!

    Vidiyum mun is about a sex worker trying to rescue a child from a prostitution ring that caters to Pedophiles

    Vidiyum mun is a very well executed thriller that keeps the viewers at the edge of their seat till the end. The director has taken a very sensitive subject and made us live through it. The movie was like watching a reality show every second of which is suspenseful making our heart pound through every scene in the movie. The scene when Lankesh questions Devanayagi about Rekha - needs special mention - without doubt will create chills. Very well scripted scene and superb acting. THe director Mr.Balaji Kumar has done an excellent job taking the viewers through the most cruel and painful journey and hence creating an awareness. congratulations!

    Well Made Thriller Film

    As the plot of this Neo Noir Thriller says: 4 Men, 3 Reasons, 2 Women and 1 Day, the narrative, having the backdrop of human trafficking brilliantly blends three reasons in the form of the stories, with some great twists and some high intellect content, having shades of films like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", Sujoy Ghosh's "Kahaani" and the recent Malayalam hit "Thira" by Vineeth Srinivasan. The film's pace gets hampered because of the emotional quotient (The same with its Malayalam counterpart "Thira") and the CG work in some scenes is actually not upto the mark. The film scores because of its screenplay by the director Balaji K. Kumar which grips you quite well with a shocking climax, the cinematography by Sivakumar Vijayan which gives you a great noir touch in every frame, the music score by Girishh Gopalakrishnan and the performances by Pooja Umashankar, Vinoth Kishan, John Vijay and Malavika Manikuttan, which are brilliant and worth looking for. Overall, despite rare loopholes, Hollywood returned debut director Balaji's narration succeeds in making you grip, giving you good thrills and chills, making the film coming in the list of films like "Aaranya Kaandam" and "Onaiyum Aatukuttiyum" giving Tamil Cinema a new level. A must watch. My rating would be: 3.5/5.
