Yaathisai

Good attempt

First of all appreciation to the whole team for this attempt . Yaathisai is a historical fiction that takes place in 7th century and had great potential . Dharani Rajendran in his debut did a great job in his writing , we can easily notice that they did a great research work , for example Einar clan's slang of Tamil was totally different and you can only understand the their dialogues with the help of subtitles . War sequences were well shot and well edited despite minimal graphics and minimal crowd . Major drawback of the movie was budget constraints , it draws a line between the audience and movie because most of the scenes fails to convey or register what's going on , just felt like bunch of scenes tied up together . Performance wise Cast did decent job . Cinematography and visuals were really good and eye pleasing on big screen . Music could've been better .

Overall , with good budget , better cast and better making this film could've been something spectacular in Indian cinema but yet good attempt with minimal resources . Watchable one .

Overall film making is very good & particularly Camera and music is excellent.

Little difficult to understand Yeinargal language otherwise all is good...

Congratulations to Rajendran 👍 for giving a good movie, you have enough capability and talent to do Mr. Kamalahasan's " Marudhanayagam" movie

Try with big producers, 30% film is over, try to convince Mr. Kamal , we are waiting for that movie to see for many years.

I want to wish you over phone, if possible kindly provide your number, so that I will say my wishes heartedly.

Dear Producer..Great , this is a really Wonderful movie, what u have given to Tamil people, this film will give lot of confidence for Young actors

Unnecessarily People's are wasting thier money to going theatres for Top heroes movies, where thier producers are making money without any stories and logics, Hats off.

Nice attempt by new director and producer for funding this movie. All new characters did their best acting. I felt this movie is far better than PS1 and 2 comparing to its fight scene and acting. If funding was not aa problem, director would have taken it to the next level for movie and in promotion. Well done team. Expecting part 2. People shud support this type of movie. Director has given his hard work and time in studying the history and olden tamil scripts. I don't know whether this movie based on true story or fiction but it felt as true story while watching. If 2part comes. I will support.

What if you see a historical fiction on kings and wars, but the protagonist is not the Baahubali King but rather an unknown man who lost his clan and livelihood.

The movie is interesting that it did not take a stand on war (or) the protagonist but it just follows sequence of events around "losing and gaining back authority" and the lives and tribes lost for the same. The politics is brilliantly shown and also underlies the fate of small clans that supports these big kings and their authority also.

The production value is below par for such a good story and hope the makers rectify it if there is any sequel!!

First we need to appreciate the director for choosing this subject and stick to the authenticity as close as possible. That too with all new faces. It is so impressive. And it worked and gave lot of awe moments here and there in the movie....

Now come to negatives - Please lower your expectations. This is not a great entertainer and war sequences are so repetitive. The story is wafer thin and they tried the magic with the ancient touch. The camera work is great and locations are fine. But that also get repetitive more.

Lower your expectation, you might like it.
