Vadakkupatti Ramasamy

#VadakkupattiRamasamy

Fun filled Religious Comedy Periodical Fantasy Drama. Different story happen in a village backdrop with an interesting Screenplay. Kept 2 or 3 situational scenes parallel in some places. That found good. Question us 'what will happen next' till the end. #Santhanam bro shined well on all his portions. All the other characters have given equal importance. Shared more screen space to other artists. All performed well. Technical aspects gave grip to the film. Comedy scenes and dialogues written well. It makes us laugh in many places. Slightly slow paced, but it suited for 1960-70's time period. Have some good social messages. Good Work Team, Applause. Overall a good family entertainment. Enjoy watching in the theaters. Do well at the box office. Good start for Santa this year, yet another good comedy film from him.

My expectations for Santhanam movies are always the lowest it could ever be. Last year alone I watched three of his movies in theaters and ended up hating them all. In fact, "Kick" is still by a large margin the worst movie of 2023 in my opinion. So the fact that "Vadakkupatti Ramasamy" wasn't really horrible came as somewhat of a surprise.

Here is the movie's biggest win - it had a rather grounded and coherent plot; something that's always missing in Santhanam's movies. The comedy was definitely hit-or-miss, but it wasn't unforgivably annoying; as again, has been the trend in all of his movies. "Vadakkupatti Ramasamy" tells the story of an atheist from an extremely superstitious village and how he decides to profit off the gullibility of the villagers by constructing a temple and monetizing everything around it. The plot and ensuring conflicts are decent enough and doesn't really try to be anything more than it is, and that works out extremely well in its favor.

Sometimes silly and sometimes satire, "Vadakkupatti Ramasamy" ends up being a Santhanam movie you could actually sit through without a fuss; which coming from me, is as high a praise for his movies as I could ever give these days.

If you are really someone who like to laugh at silly comedies and dialogues this movies is for you

The whole theatre was laughing out loud during entire first half and the second half was also maintained the pace .

After DDreturns this is one of the best comedy movies of Santhanam I would say

The recent movies such as Leo was nothing when compared to the amount of heart felt emotion se got for this movie

The entire theatre enjoyed it and it was very well worked

Best thing about Santhanam is that he is still keeping up the same old gang he was from without forgetting or leaving them behind we can see this gang every film with him .

Its a waste of time and money. Its a serious letdown if you think its going to be a funny movie. After watching DD returns movie, there was good expectation that this movie is going to be a laughter feast but this movie is a trash and is no way comparable to DD returns. Most of the jokes didn't make us laugh and the movie was a drag and everyone was hoping for the end cards to be put up soon. Some of the dialogues seems to be politically motivated and seems to make fun sarcastically of social reformers which is a big letdown to rational thinking. Also the climax was a big let down and just followed the regular template of any god template movies of the past. It was surely a regrettable experience going to this movie. I still remember how people really laughed their heart out while watching "DD returns" but this movie is a big let down.

A review by Rajesh Puvvada

If you want to forget the real world stress and laugh until your stomach ache, this movie is a treat from the Lollu Sabha gang!!

I used to really adore the Lollu Sabha gang and await their spoofs in Vijay TV every week. Now I watch those select episodes on YouTube. I used to wonder what happened to Seshu, Maaran , Swaminathan et all. You get some wholesome entertainment from these guys once again. I would say it's a Lollusabha reunion.

The first half of the movie is a drag but it sets the stage for a fantastic second half. Imagine what happens when Motta Rajendran and M S Bhaskar and some funny faces join the lollusabha gang it will leave you with loud laughter if handled well.

The screen play and comedy has been carefully handled and comedy content is fully packed across the movie. The additional comedy cushion offered with Nizhalgal Ravi came out funny, fit and proper.

The film picks up the "Period Film" format with a village setting and the plot fits well within the format!!

Good News is there is a story in this movie, and the story speaks. Further roles for heroines in movies these days are light plot wise and they are typically brought in as a compulsive embellishment. But in this movie the role of the heroine is solid within the plot.

We were long awaiting for a family entertainer and finally it has come by. So go with your family and laugh out loud.

Going with a 4/5. The movie can also be watched on OTT when it shows up but how about going out with family together!!
