    Hidden gem of a thriller!!!

    Excellently made and acted thriller revenge movie. Starts off as a light comedy and in second half suddenly metamorphoses to a taut action thriller. Essentially a nail biter. Vishal is in top form, understated but brilliant. The prime antagonist is delightful and menacing as hell. No over the top theatrics, bombastic dialogues or unrealistic fights. Action sequences are very realistic.

    the ultimate commercial revenge story

    gotta admit, this is the ultimate commercial revenge story i have ever seen in Tamil cinema.! this is the clear winner of this Diwali.! Suseendhran comes up with yet another path-breaking movie.. Vishal gets the much needed break and he deserves.. must watch..edge of a seat thrilling revenge story.. The jaded revenge formula in commercial cinema is reinvented.!!!

    Vishal in a tailor made role and bharathiraja sir as a sentimental father steals the show.!Sharath Lohithaswa tries to be villain at perfect.. suri and laskhmi menon played their parts very well..

    first half will be a delightful yet little violent one..from then on the movie pics up the speed and second half is a edge of a seat thriller..it may be an usual revenge story but told in a very unusual way with the apt cinematography which makes us feel very thrilled.!!

    must watch movie..This movie has that thing which lacks in a class movie and what is needed in a commercial movie..

    Greatest Movies of all Time Yes it indeed is...

    Greatest Movies of all Time Yes it indeed is... showing an underdog with gutsy screenplay is something a commendable direction.. VIshal nailed it as typical middle class south indian Villain played a key role in lifting the emotion of the movie to greater heights Climax is something one would feel satisfide with the revelation of heroes friends being killed at gun point... Comedy track is never boring... Suseentharan what a direction - salute to you man crisp screenplay with no boring scenes - typical commercial family action entertainer, this movie can be rated as the one of the best movies of revenge saga.

    A new outlook for revenge dramas

    aandiya Naadu- My Review

    Finally watched Pandiyanaadu starring Vishal directed by versatile director Suseenthiran.....

    Coming to the film....

    | #Plot

    Shiva (played by Vishal), is an ordinary guy working in a mobile shop. After killing his opponent, local mafia don, Ravi takes complete control over Palnadu and rules it with an iron fist. Siva's brother, a honest govt officer, gets killed by Ravi for opposing his unlawful mining acts. A helpless Shiva, plans to avenge the death of his brother.......meanwhile, he finds that his father too is on the floor to kill Ravi.... The basic story of the film is nothing but the most seen subject #Revenge.....But I must say that director Suseenthiran gave re- birth to the so called subject, "Revenge" and made Pandiyanaadu an excellent flick.....He didn't follow the traditional route followed by most of the film makers, instead, he made his own way..... in fact, he is popular for his different making, which we have seen in Vennela Kabadi Kuzhu, Nan Mahan Alla and recently, Aadhalaal Kaadhal Seiveer......

    | #Building_Up

    Sussenthiran and Bhaskar Shakti were successful in building up an excellent script for a wafer thin plot. The ''most seen'' story had a different presentation, offering a great feel to the viewers. Every character was close to the heart and the director was able to expose the mind or soul of every character. Especially, the character of #Shiva, it was intense and realistic. From the start to end, there was no transformation in the character of Shiva..In usual films, we see a meek hero transforming into a Super Man to avenge the death....but here, there was no such trans\formation of character ...Vishal too,was able to present it in a much realistic manner.....Kudos to the writers for this ordinary Shiva. A slowly started Pandiyanaadu, gained its pace slowly. Certain wits and comedy sequences in the start were interesting. Soori had some funny scenes to his credit in the first half. The first half passed off breezily in a good manner but the latter half was racy and engaging.

    | #Performances

    #Vishal rendered brilliant performance......Woow.... No words to say.....Excellent characterization as Shiva. He excelled as an ordinary man. There was no transformation in his character at any point of the film. Watch the film to experience it....No Mass Action No Punch Dialogues, Still the best role from Vishal. Those mannerisms of him in certain sequences, particularly realistic action sequences in the climax were wonderful. The fear and sadness in his face, even during killing the villain were appreciably good.....

    Next person I have to mention here is #Bharathiraja....Never expected such performance from him.Mind Blowing.... A character close to the heart. The sadness and anger of an ordinary person, who lost his son, were well presented by him.......Excellent.

    The rest of the cast including Lakshmi Menon, Soori and Vikranth rendered good performances. Other mentionable roles were of our villains, Harish Uthaman and Sharath Lohitaswa, both of them were perfect in their roles.

    | #Making

    Sussenthiran's versatility was visible in every scene of the film.......He had a much realistic approach and excellent direction for the well written script.

    R.Madhi's cinematography is yet another highlight of the film. Was able to capture the locations very well...offered a good feel. The BGMs were matching the mood of the film but D.Imaan's songs weren't up to the mark. Could've been done better. I donno why Suseenthiran choose him.....Usually Yuvan used to compose for him...Technically, the movie was superb....Colouring was also good....

    A song of Vishal and Lakshmi in the second half could have been avoided, Really misplaced and unwanted. Except that, nothing negative.....

    Realistic Direction, Appreciable Performances and tight Script makes Pandiyanaadu an Enterprising Film, in all contexts...

    My Rating: 4/5 Verdict: Very Good

    Must watch for good film lovers....

    Thank You For Reading My Review

    Yours Truly Sooraj.. :)
