Vilangu

Awesome Thriller - Screenplay & BGM Score Top Notch - Many times better than watching all dumb movies - Better than Irai. This series which is almost shot like a movie, is completely all together an different attempt whic has played out very well. Plus a top notch act from the entire cast.

This webseries is full of twist and turn, made me to watch all episodes in full stretch... Director has well brought out the work life balance challenges of Police department. Vimal and Bala Saravanan acting are very casual and synced well with story. Ultimate hero to me is Krishna character, from saadhu to saadhu villan. Best acting in this movie.

Overall, good entertainment series..

I had to pass my week off couple of days ago and without much expectations, i sat to start watching Vilangu (Shackles). This series has impressed me with lifestyle portrayal of policemen and their distinctive way of treating guilty in police station. Apparently, i would like to laud Ajesh for his incredible contribution in music part. The narration was like a slow dopamine, it perfects with on and off riveting, paradigm changing scenes. Most importantly, Vimal aka Vemal numerology name change has worked out well for the actor and this is his exact premise to prove himself and he does well indeed without a flaw. Beside him, Bala Saravanan is astounding & equally intimidating with his crisp dialects, profanities are easily makes viewers to glued into it. And, Kicha is sure a chicken dinner winner & startles by his uncanny acting. With all of this aforesaid accolades, i personally felt unnecessary obscene scenes could have trimmed and that could leverage "Vilangu" to recommend to all age watch entertainer. Albeit, it is definitely watchable first ever tamil decent web series. Mr Prashanth Pandiraj, you have proved your capability as a director.

This was my first (?) Tamil web series, had heard a lot about it over the past few weeks, finally got around do it.

A mystery drama usually is usually my go-to genre so I was a little hesitant but the show didn't disappoint. It's very grounded, nothing over-the-top, no unnecessary heroism/overacting no big names, no fancy slo-mo shots. This simply had a story shot and told in a way that it could seem as real as possible. Shoutout to the music team for REALLY GOOD sound-design.

Instead of a 7ep show, this would have made for a really good movie (as per the original plans) but even at a 4hr total runtime, it didn't feel like 4 hrs. A few scenes here and there did make me feel like "Bruh, why would write it that way?" but I don't know if that's just me and even if it is, a handful scenes in a 4hr show is something I can live with.

You should surely check it out if you like this genre.

Generally don't watch Web Series, but after having read its review in Vikatan, thought of giving it a try.

What started as an one episode plan, went onto complete 4 episodes at a stretch completing 4 episodes, because of its excellent screenplay and very different Background music.

Whoever (adult) would like to start watching Tamil Web-series, probably can start with this.

Acting of Vimal was too good and in some places he simply scores with his silence and facial reactions, same goes to Kiccha Ravi too, what a performance, out of the blue!

Very good supporting roles done by Bala Saravanan & Munishkanth too.

Reason for 8 stars is, till 4th episode, since there are plenty of twists and turns, it keeps audience guessing, however from 5th episode, screenplay loses its intensity and audience can easily guess, what's coming. Probably those two episodes could have been better done!
