Yennai Arindhaal (2015)

Yennai Arindhaal - A typical Gautham Vasudev Menon class film with no commercial or mass element, A very simple movie

Hats off to Thala ajith for sharing screen space with ‪#‎ArunVijay‬ and giving him lots of scope for him to perform, there are few scenes where ‪#‎Thala‬ comes behind Arun Vijay, am sure these days no mass actor will give equal importance to any other actor in their movies.

Coming in to the movie, Yes few scenes in this movie resembles ‪#‎VV‬ especially the #Thala Trisha portion and first half moves bit slow, but 2nd half picks up with the racy screenplay.

Thala screen presence and his performance is awesome, especially in a scene with kota srinivasa rao, i think Thala should concentrate on his weight frown emoticon

#ArunVijay has done really well, but i don't see a commanding antagonist like GVM earlier movies (Pandiya in KK and Amuthan,Ila in VV), he could have made more interesting, this movie will definitely help him to become in the likes of ‪#‎Suriya‬ & ‪#‎Vikram‬

+Ves: Thala Ajith, #ArunVijay, ‪#‎Trisha‬ Anushka, Music, cinematography -Ves: Slow First half, predictable screenplay

You won't get disappointed if you go to the movie with zero expectation

Fmovies: Yennai arindhal (YA) was one of the awaited films of the year as it has got Thala Ajith kumar and Gautam Vasudev menon (GVM) together which automatically raised the audience expectations. I went to the movie honestly without any high hopes or dis likeness. We all know from the posters and trailers that this is a story about a cop dealing gangsters. Not a quite new storyline to Tamil cinema even this is third movie in the same storyline for GVM.

The film was totally lifted by Ajith's performance as a cop, as a father, as a lover. He was ultimate in fitting the character.

The huge let down was GVM's story, direction, screenplay and even dialogues. None of these four pillars were taken care properly. Story age old one, the screenplay was slow and ultimately predictable. Even I felt the dialogues were unnecessarily lengthy. Direction I didn't that GVM did something new here. He literally did cut copy paste from his previous ventures Vetaiyadu and Kakha Kakha. The characterisation of Ajith was the same as Raghavan and Anbuchelvan with their designations essayed by Kamal and Suriya respectively in GVM's previous scripts.

Trisha and Anushka play the female leads in the movie. Both of their characterisation had resemblance of JO's character in VV and KK. Even the way Trisha was portrayed and they way she uttered dialogues was exactly similar to Jo in VV. Trisha was ultimately fitting and ravishingly beautiful on the role of Hemanika. Anushka as Thenmozhi she did fairly well except some fault with her hair do looked somewhat elderly. But both the lead ladies had very limited screen space.

Arun Vijay as the villain again imitated the villains of KK and VV. Nothing new in his characterization as well. But he did justice to the role. Vivek as the assistant to the hero had limited scope to comedy but where ever he had chance he tried well to make jokes.

Harris it real time for you to work hard and bring in fresh tunes in songs and BGM.

When we see particular scenes repeat from some movies we call it cliché but YA was one over clichéd attempt making us restless sometimes but one time watch for our Thala. My rating would be 2.5/5 for the whole movie considering Ajith it would be 3/5. -Reviewed by Balachandran Sivakumar

I was bunking the college and went with my friend to watch the film..there i saw total students of my class bunking the classes and coming to enjoy...firstly,all the credit goes to Gautham Vasudev Menon for making such a good movie after a disastrous last outing...though this movie has some resemblances of his earlier movies,he has neatly packaged this movie with a subtle amount of emotions...the casting was good,plot was good,but the screenplay was a bit slower,especially in the 1st half,where he uses his prime point-romance play a major role in it...the second half was pacey,but resembled VA,VV and KK but it was good to see Ajith in such role...Ajith as Sathyadev has truly justified his place in the industry by choosing such a role...He has truly obeyed Gautham's narration and the performance justify it.He may not be the next superstar or next kamalhassan,but ajith will be always unique as THALA..the two leading ladies also deserve a special mention as they did true justification to their roles...The one who deserves and wins special mention other than Ajith is Arun Vijay...he has truly done a commendable job as victor and his physique was outstanding...Dan MacArthur truly deserves a special appreciation for his superb camera work,his beautiful portrayal of Trisha in MAYA BAZAAR song and the serene of Jaipur,Sikkim etc...Harris Jayaraj,after a long break with GVM,once again rocks with a high voltage background score and scores applause when he scores it for ajith...If a movie earns applause and whistles for the use of foul languages,it is Yennai Arindhaal..

Verdict:performances of leads,pulsating background music with a subtle humor makes Yennai Arindhaal worth a watch... Rating:3.5/5

Yennai Arindhaal fmovies. I rarely post reviews for movies mainly because I don't feel the necessity to do so. Everyone has their own opinions. But this particular movie even though I'm not a tamilian has made me crazy over the well placed script and characters. The movie is filled with suspense and action making it one of a kind in a particular manner. The movie has a simple story yet it makes the audience clap during every scene. Contains good set of songs but sometime I felt the songs just dragged the movie longer but it surely does add essence to the movie. Ajith as always has done a perfect job while the actresses has perfectly done their part. The villain is exceptional and truly one of the best villains in my eyes after Joker in batman :). If you love watching movies with action and suspense,this one is a must watch. I have rated this 10/10 which is not the perfect rating but for me the movie did exactly what I wanted it to do. In view of a critic,i would rate it 8.7/10. Amazing songs and amazing action. Theatre is tour best choice rather than other options. a good entertainer and must watch. Thank you for your patience to read my review. Feel free to contact me through Facebook or IMDb. One again Thank you. - Suraj Sunil

"Yennai Arindhaal" is being praised for Ajith's strong screen presence, Arun Vijay's enegetic performance, Trisha's lovely looks and a decent story. The father-daughter bonding part is touching to the heart and Menon has capured the emotions well. The other plus points are music departments and cinematography by Dan Macarthur.

On the flip side, people are claiming that the screenplay is slow and it has the shades of Gautham Menon's earlier movies "Kaakha Kaakha" and "Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu". Below, we bring you the live reviews from the audience: #YennaiArindhaal - Another episode in a police officer's life with a equal combination of romance,emotions and thrilling moments(3.75/5) #YennaiArindhaal - The first half starts slowly and once the flashback starts the film starts to move at gud pace.Second half gud throughout #YennaiArindhaal - Ajith as Sathyadev has lived as the character.Thanks to @menongautham for showing the Mass Ajith in a class way. #YennaiArindhaal - Ajith dialogue delivery is getting improvised very much.His romance portions with Trisha highlight of movie. #YennaiArindhaal - The second half is all about the tussle between Ajith and @arunvijayno1 !! Both have performed superbly.Arun VJ rocked.
