Kadaisi Vivasayi

One of those rarest lively films which take you to the village life making you live a life as a farmer.

This film is almost in-line with merku thodarchi malai, which also makes you live as a farmer and showcases how a farmer's life is destroyed depicting some real-life incidents but thankfully this film ends on a good note.

The outstanding part of this film is that it neatly shows how useless this whole law & order system is and how it acts like an anti-agent for growth, it is laughable that the whole system has turned into a poisonous one haltering the growth potential of this country, it is indeed a shameful fact that because of these useless permanent govt jobs, the people of this country suffer from the broken system.

VS's characterisation was good and does nicely depict a person's life we would see in real life as well but the role of this character does nothing much in the film and almost looks like it was most probably designed to drive people to watch this film.

Overall, by the end of it, it was not like I'd watched a film but more like having lived really as a farmer in that village.

This is one of those films that everybody should watch at least in their lifetime.

I enjoyed that at a time when farmer films are dime a dozen, Kadaisi Vivasaayi manages to stand out effortlessly. That's because it seems less interested in making a profit out of their misery, and more interested in communicating genuine affection for their occupation. It doesn't depend on dialogues to do this job. In fact, it doesn't even need a conventional hero or a menacing villain. And yet, this film communicates tragedy and affects us and implores, without ever obviously doing that, that we take a long, hard look at how we live. In a profound scene, you see Mayaandi, who has no problem with his body being soaked in dirt, attempting furiously to remove a hint of an ink stain from his fingers. That single shot... that's worth pages of dialogue. That's the stamp of this filmmaker.

Finally a realistic movie based on farmers . Recent times in Kollywood many movies were released in name of Supporting farmers , but this movie is a slipper shot to those cringe movies . Kadaisi Vivasayi was a pure gem . Once again Manikandan gave us wonderful movie . Story was simple , but execution was marvelous . Cinematography was also handled by Manikandan , mind blowing visuals . Other than farming , they well focused on village environment too . Characterisation for Mayandi was very well designed . Vijay Sethupathi and Yogi Babu done their part very well . SaNa music was good . Overall a must watch movie . If you like realistic Drama then give a try . Watch it on big screen .

The film is a paean to idyllic life, to self-sufficiency. Even through the simple idea of showing how easily a plant can be grown in a prison, Manikandan drums in the idea that farming isn't as hard as it is thought to be. In fact, the film doesn't treat it as some 'high concept' that everyone should reach towards. It's not interested in making you bow in devotion to farmers.

It's one of the finest Indian films made. Its filled with. Its technically and emotionally brilliant. And the topics discussed in the film give you so much joy and hope and happiness.
