Viduthalai Part 1

Long after time , engaging flim, moves you to the edge of seat yours eyes don't move away from screen, the rise of soori was a different move even a small character has added plus to the movie, cinematography was good, moved away from the clashes of the metropolitan ,finally the movie is for people, movie of people, includes the officials, the base study and the work done by the director was must have great effort, salute, the acting aspiration of soori came well on the screen, the music is smoothly moves with the movies, the movie satisfied the time spent and leaves a good message to the society,

For a movie that is nearly three hours and only tells half the story, Viduthalai is still such a brilliant film in every aspect (except maybe dubbing and a bit of editing to cover that). The way it slowly unravels its world and the characters and even the way it holds back some of the harsher stuff initially to present the horridness of it through the characters you grow to love makes the drama extremely powerful. My blood was literally boiling by the end of the movie and it's not just a passing phrase when I say I can't wait for the second part, I literally need to watch the second part asap.

I don't believe in oscars as long as the gems provided by Vetrimaran sir goes unnoticed by many.

This movie should be pan India to show what can a movie can make you experience. Such a gem.

Every detail to character presentation starting from the constable to the antagonist, every detail suspense even the climax is to the point. I can't deny it's a masterpiece.

The acting of everyone is top notch and the rawness of the reality what makes the movie a true best. Everything about it so special, if I say anything more I'll give you spoilers.

If you haven't watched it till now reading this just go.

Vetrimaaran's Vetri ( Winning ) streak continues...

Pros - Heart wrenching brutal cinema . Before getting into detail it's definitely not for light hearted . Viduthalai part1 plays a major role in setting up for part 2 . This time narration wise and making wise there was slight difference from Vetri's previous works . Part 1 explores the world of Viduthalai , Police brutality , separatist and politics . Narration was slow , but that doesn't means flat . Soori as protagonist gave a realistic show stealing performance . VJS had less screentime but created quite impact . Other cast did their part really well , they had enough scope throughout the movie , even GVM played his part neatly . Technical wise , impressive cinematography especially opening single shot sequence one of the best in kollywood , opening shot clearly established the tone of the movie . In a slow burner movie , Climax was total bang , action set pieces were well choreographed , excellently captured and edited . Ilaiyaraaja's back ground scores were well suited to this dark tone and periodic movie , songs were really great . Atlast part 2 glimpse literally increased the hype .

Cons - Asusual dubbing was poor as expected , lip syncing were totally odd in most of the places . Editing in few places weren't upto the mark .

Overall , a slow burning crime drama . Definitely worthy one for your patience and time . Highly recommended . Strictly 18+ .

I hope Part 2 will be released as soon as possible .

Since it is the first part, many questions remain unanswered when the viewer finishes the movie. However, the way the movie poses these questions makes it worth watching. It delicately portrays the balance between the police and the People's Liberation Army, highlighting how marginalized communities and commoners are suppressed amidst the fight of two giants, emphasizing that war is not the solution.

The best thing about this movie is that it is presented through the perspective of a low-level staff member, Kumarassen (played by Suri), who has a good heart but lacks the power to effect significant change himself. The film also provides glimpses of how things become murkier and more chaotic when an actual war breaks out. Setupati shines in his role as Comrade Perumal, and it's interesting to see his diverse choices of roles in movies like "Vikram Vedha," "Farzi," and this one.

"It's a raw movie with minimal aesthetics and a lot of bloodshed, but I believe it aims to reach the core of your being and show the fancy popcorn viewers or keyboard warriors how war actually unfolds and why ranting on Twitter is sometimes unjustified." Overall, it is a well-crafted movie, and I am definitely looking forward to the second part.
