mixed reports?? Really, sify?

Sify ah thaan 15 varushamaa paarthuttu irukkirOmea... Ajith paththi pugalra maathiri oru article vantha.. aduththa article kavukka readya irukkum... Very rarely they have given good reviews for Ajith movies... Like I mentioned earlier, giving good reviews and playing down the BO numbers is the latest trend... you could see this in most of the media, social media reviewers, bo trackers etc...

You see this trilogy is quite unique, and an attempt which should be recognised. It is the exploration of fictional characters created by GVM over one another, but still providing a unique storyline for each. .

mappi, IIRC golden raj says "Un aalu oruthan/ Unakku therincha oruthan " if GVM leaves that to audience to decide that can be victor as well, one more thing it would have been better if sethupathy was a another undercover cop than this repay for the 10K help and all..

Saw some good reviews in BW visitor column

Yennai Arindhaal - Satyadev and his Choices.

Yennai Arindhaal revolves around the thought that, “It’s our choices that determine our future”. Ajith’s dialogue, “Oru Mellisana Kodu, intha pakkam pona na nallavan…. Andha pakkam pona na rumba Kettavan.. intha pakkama illa antha pakkama nu mudivu panna oru naal vanthuchu valkaila.. valkai enna oruthana mathuchu” summarises the whole plot of YA.

Arranging the story in a linear manner, the story begins with Satyadev interacting with his dad about his future, the choices he has to make and the work involved after selecting a choice. His father’s death leaves him with a choice of killing the bad guys either the good way or the bad way. The path he decides serves as the starting point for the following events.

The consequences of three different events of sparing Victor’s life, helping Hemanika (choosing to save a life than killing another) and being a good father to Isha intertwine together and bring a major change in Satyadev’s life. It’s the choice of helping his friend’s daughter that brings him back into the game. Correlate all these incidents with Ajith’s kodu dialogue and you will know, why YA is different from other GVM movies?

(I have shortened the storyline. Scenes where he goes to take revenge, thinks of his daughter during the fight with Golden Raj and the events that follow are based on his choices. Think of the story the other way around, what if Satyadev chooses not to help Hemanika or How would it be if Satyadev killed Victor in his first choice. Also, what would have happened if he called his friends in the department to save his friends daughter. Such thoughts will make the story even more interesting. )

All these choices lead us to the climax that answers to questions like, Did Satyadev choose to kill Victor in his second chance? Did he win in his choice to kill the bad guys ? Did he balance the equation between good and bad ?
To comment about the screen space for Arun Vijay and the screenplay of YA, I guess GVM has opted to show only the good side rather than explaining Victor’s story and his whereabouts (A choice between good and Bad!) . Also, the tile says “Yennai Arindhaal”, who else did you expect the story will revolve around?

Why is Yennai Arindhaal special? And what makes it more than an action movie?
Each and every scene in the movie is consequences of a choice that has been made earlier. Absence of Ajith’s mass factor, brilliant performances from the lead actors and a justifiable screen play makes Yennai Arindhaal special.

All in all YA is a good movie with brilliant performances from Ajith, Arun Vijay, Trisha and that little girl. Kudos, to GVM and team.

P.S :
1. I am not an Ajith Fan.
2. These are just my views about the movie.

Yennai Arindhaal - A self-realization of the actor in himself!

A simple tale which portrays the travel of a persona and its struggles through different facets of life.

Ajith has clearly displayed his multidimensional acting skills. Be it a snazzy cop or a caring father or a loyal son or a sincere lover, he has done it all with ease and fit the bill perfectly. He has surrendered himself for the character and has showcased a never before seen acting skill set. The love that we have for him as an actor would definitely soar up high after watching this flick.

Gautham Menon rebounds in great style, after his recent movies being misfired heavily. He has cleverly chosen the crème de la crème of his genres and has presented it quite impeccably. Kudos to him for not letting Ajith’s stardom influencing his script in anyway. He is one director who redefines the stereotypical Tamil romantic scenes every time (including in this one) and succeeds in the process. His cameo performance streak continues in this one too.

Arun Vijay, who had gone lost in all the noises in Tamil cinema, has now proved that he is a definite talent material, especially in the confrontation scene between him and Ajith over the phone. Vivek as ‘Revolver’ Richard is convincing and has managed to tickle some funny bones. Trisha, who comes as a single mother, has shown a lot of maturity in her acting and Anushka has delivered perfectly what has been told. Baby Anikha impresses with her innocent looks and subtle emotions.

Harris's background score is electrifying and the duo has struck the right chord once again. Anthony’s cuts are razor-sharp. The involvement of Thiagarajan Kumara raja holds the reason for some rawness in the script. Dan Macarthur’s lens has got the special power of magnifying beauty beyond proportions.

A lot of Menon-isms are visibly evident. The movie is pacy and gripping, though it slacks a little bit in some portions with extended scenes and unwanted lengthy dust-ups. But considering the fact that the movie is shortened now, this would do some good.

In conclusion, Yennai Arindhaal definitely falls in the ‘”must watch movie” category and it's not a film made for the fans to just come, celebrate and forget it; but instead to contemplate and cherish it forever!

Yennai Arindhaal Visitor Review
By Vinod Nair

When the news of Ajith joining hands with director Gautham Vasudev Menon (GVM) broke, the anticipation for the film soared. To make the news even sweeter, Harris Jayaraj reunites with GVM after almost seven years. As it was somehow revealed to be an action-thriller (GVM’s forte), the anticipation soared even higher for Yennai Arindhaal (YA).

Touted as the final installment of GVM’s ‘trilogy’ of cop films, YA is about an IPS officer Sathyadev whose actions to uphold law-and-order in the past comes back to haunt him later in his life in the form of a vengeful criminal by the name of Victor.

Ajith was at his best, as the cop-with-attitude Sathyadev and also as the doting dad. He may have played a cop in Mankatha albeit a negative one but like all other the cop characters in GVM’s previous films, Ajith as Sathyadev duly impressed and captured the hearts of the audience as well. Arun Vijay in his negative role as Victor was a revelation. He showed the performer in him here. Like Jeevan for Pandya and Daniel Balaji-Saleem Baig for the Amuthan-Illamaran duo, Arun Vijay has created an identity for himself. Gautham has always shown his lead ladies in a positive and dignified manner and he continues that in YA. Both Trisha and Anushka performed well with elan as per the character requirements. Rest of the cast including Vivek, Anikha, Ashish Vidyarthi, Parvathy Nair were impressive in their respective roles.

The technical aspects of the film are of top quality. The two DoPs, Dan MacArthur and SR Kathir has done a brilliant job with the camera. The realism in the entire film was retained and the songs Unakkena Venum Sollu and Mazhai Vara Poguthu were well picturised. Harris Jayaraj who has always reserved his best for GVM, has delivered again. Thanks to editor Anthony, the momentum of the film was intact and the narration was smooth although YA had a non-linear storyline. Silva’s action choreography was realistic and his did a good job on-and-off the screen as well.

After the debacle of Neethane En Ponvasantham, GVM returns to his trusted domain and succeeds.YA is a classy action thriller delivered in a typical Gautham Vasudev Menon-style, complete with superb performances by the entire cast, excellent BGM, realistic action and not forgetting the special appearance by the director himself.


Rating: 4.5/5
Verdict: Top-notch product, delivered in a typical GVM style.

mappi, IIRC golden raj says "Un aalu oruthan/ Unakku therincha oruthan " if GVM leaves that to audience to decide that can be victor as well, one more thing it would have been better if sethupathy was a another undercover cop than this repay for the 10K help and all..

Yes. Yes.
Un aalu oruthan/ Unakku therincha oruthan => curious. Another angle, Golden Raj could have bluffed too (which I doubt).
Sethupathy matter is something to do with the gangster story which could have been trimmed. Lets wait and see.
