Vaazha: Biopic of a Billion Boys

Highly relatable to 90s Malayalee kids entertainer. What could've been complete cringe behaviour and humour of the so-called backbenchers is saved and enhanced by some clever use of performances, editing etc. The inclusion of actual "Vaazhas" throughout the movie was fun. The emotional aspects they tried in the second half worked really well. The inclusion of different father-children relationships was great. Even the surprising empathy that is given to the issues of the so-called first benchers when you expect the movie to take the side of the protagonists was nice to see. However, I'm not sure how much this will work without a houseful audience.

The story is mainly about five friends who come together and their seriously mischievous acts. Their parents try to separate them but they end up together in same engineering institute. All of them are bad at studies how will they cope up in this cruel world.

I saw a Hindi dubbed version and I thoroughly enjoyed 80 percent of movie. I enjoyed it as a native viewer. I don't know if it would be same for people from south. The movie is a hilarious drama-comedy.

The 20 percent that I dint enjoy comes as we approach end. The boys weak at studies how will they cope up? It's shown their parents finally support them and even take up insult from relatives. Also I dint like the negative ending.

It came to my mind that in real world parents mostly hide what their children are pursuing with something respectful if their children are weak. This was not shown.

Music in Hindi dubbed version is above average.

Final Verdict: Do watch it. With the hilarious comedy in place, I was jumping in my seats. You may be surprised.

Vaazha captures a deep sense of connection with the story and the characters. It sounds like the film resonated with me on a personal level, reflecting the journey and struggles of many young Indian boys, which made it all the more relatable. The bond between the five main characters seems to have been portrayed authentically, keeping us invested throughout the film.

Even though the ending wasn't a traditionally "happy" one, lets just appreciate the emotional closure and the fact that the friendship endured, which added to the movie's charm. The performances of the actors were evidently impressive, as they brought their characters to life, making the emotional highs and lows feel genuine. The background score also seems to have enhanced the overall experience without overpowering the narrative.

Giving it an 8 out of 10 shows that I found Vaazha both engaging and satisfying, despite its bittersweet conclusion.

Vaazha is an entertainer, but tried to cover a "sophisticated subject" in a movie medium. The actors gave a commendable performance, everyone fits to their role. The screenplay was superb, but slightly failed to capture the totality of emotions between son & father/parents.

The film brings smile even to the older generations. And it gives a real remedy for suicidal thoughts😁. If you watch with your parents, then you get many topics for discussion and for sharing emotions further.

It gives a feeling to everyone that life is a continuous journey for those who stand even after failures. They explained a serious subject in a funny way.

Editing was good. Good creativity, overall...!!

This movie show us that society needs only successful people to brings it's reputation to higher it's place. But does not care for those persons whom are being unsuccessful in their life. Everyone force their childs to study more but doesn't want to know what their child wants to be in his life. So I , with my personal opinion, support this movie and their basic concepts and want more like that to encourage our society that everyone is obviously fine in his place and don't force your children to do else what they really want in their life. Really this movie is fantastic and their characters are very impressive and such a new faces .
