Extraordinary screen play and AK, Arjun, Regina acting were speechless. You can see an new character shade of Ajith Kumar in this movie. Magizh thirumeni proves that tamil cinema also have a knowledge of making like a hollywood movie. First half was little bit slow especially AK and Trisha were going to the trip. First of all it's not a trip. That's their last trip together. They decided to take a divorce. After Arjun and Aarav's entry the whole movie was fire. As usual rocking star Anirudh plays a vital role. Background score like a fire, especially drum beat plays and suddenly stopped then audience will shout "Ajitheyyyyy".

Second half was unexpectable. I thought that second half also had a lag. But AK's character also change in the second half. This movie shows what happens when a common man gets angry. There is no punch dialogues and there is no commercial scenes and there is no audience favourable reference. It's just an action film to watch with your family. Overall don't expect anything, just go and watch the film. Definitely you will enjoy the film. At the end this is the real pongal by Magizh thirumeni.

The only good thing about this movie is that they made a superstar act in a normal movie with zero fan service.

Having said that, the movie is boring, flat, and tests your patience. At least the first half is bearable as it had some hope and a mystery left. The real struggle starts after the intermission. Halfway through the second half, you understand it's a misfire. They could have easily made this movie at least half as interesting as Samar (2013) by having some decent redemption in the second half, but they did not.

Also, the makers misled the audience by the teaser/trailer itself. Anirudh's hyped BGM has no sync with the actual movie. Not sure whose idea was to reveal the antagonists in the teaser/trailer itself, especially when the movie itself has a wafer-thin plot line.

I can go on and on about the mishaps.

Having said that, it's not completely bad like 'Kanguva' or 'Indian 2'. It's a bit more bearable, if that counts.

Movie actually doesnt has any hooked intro scenes. Even title scene doesnt has the hook to yell. But.... it is completely alri8. The whole movie is slow paced. Im okay with slow paced screenplay. If u loved the goat breaking bad, u wont even point the slow pace as a issue. I dunno maybe i might try new theatres, the theatre promoted it as 4k rgb, the brightness isnt upto the mark. It was gk poonga, manampathy,kancheepuram. The 2nd show actually, there wasnt any wopping crowd. Barely half filled. Whats wondering is the ticket price, 150rs.

The film shows quality, a perfect example for how a fine film should be. The twists actually worked well, the writing of tight situations are worked very well. The feel of lost, actually felt by us. The divorce convincing dialogues are deep and convinced well. There were flashbacks, it was okey, but yet not much detailed. So dialogues fills the gaps. The music wasnt that much notable, but works well with the movie. The music does its part in this art form.

Whats not okay is the predictable story, there will be a scene which shows regina cassandra's flashback. It actually spoiled the engagement. It might be placed at the end of the film(atleast her psychopath behaviour).

In some scenes the story is stretched as per the directors idea, not convincing tbh.

Whats most wierder in this film is the subtitle colour, green. Whose idea is that ?

The second half has the fight sequences, which was intense. The play of two masterminds is barely rememberable in the screen play.

The editing, placing might changed the film's screenplay to make it as a cult film. The bit predictable, stretched story becomes a villain for this movie.

So the movie as a movie fanatic, is worth a watch as a whole package.

But questionable for benchmark lvl box office hits, since it barely satisfies general audience.

Have lost hope on AK. The three V's with Shiva have literally made to hate him for his script selection. The last liked movie was Yennai Arinthal. Valimai and Thunivu were kind of bits and pieces movie. When it came from H Vinoth i understood that it was AK who is clueless not putting any effort to get better out of himself even basics like get ups, looks or dialogue delivery

However in Vidaamuyarchi though still not upto Yennai Arinthal it was a good watch. Credit to Magizh. AK is still AK. He acts like he is all goodness and modern version of Maryadha Purushothaman Raman. Loves his wife even if she had an affair, Wastes his bullets, arrows only below the knee of goons and quite funny he never even attempts to kill the villian in the end the villian gets fed up of his begging " en manavi enga"and kills himself. AK's pureness of heart Kind of over kill. The one dialogue he attempt in the petro bunk is cringy and he was rightly called as boomer for that. Thankfully there is no transformation scenes or mass punch dialogue.

Overall a bearable movie from AK after a decade.

As a fan, my opinion is, a decent watch with good cinematography and good performances. Especially AK has given his best. Please don't go by reading or watching all reviews. People form different opinions based on their unique experiences,

If you are a movie lover just try it.

The movie's pacing is slow in the first half.

It takes a while for the first half to get going.

The second half picks up the pace considerably. The story accelerates in the latter half. The pacing shifts into high gear during the second half. The film's tempo quickens noticeably after the midpoint. Things move much faster in the second half. Emotional scenes are well made.
