    Soulful movie

    Finally got to see the award winning movie "Kadaisi Vivasayi ", Huge respect to the director Manikandan for showcasing this lively experience of a farmer's life and the strong emotional connect he could weave between the viewers and the storyline. Rather the present, this movie is for the future Gen for them to understand what it takes to get rice from farm to kitchen . It's a hard hitting fact that these cannot be produced in a factory but only from a farm bed . Everyone of US have criminally contributed for the reduction of farm land by converting them to factory to housing units to multiplexes , to concrete jungles , sure life would have been much better and less stressful than it is now if we had saved those farmers and their land and as well donned a role of a farmer in some way or other. Wish some decisions taken in life in past could have been undone . In total agreement to this statement "The soul of India lives in its villages". The performances of the characters are so very realistic and sure most of them are probably the villagers themselves than actors . I couldn't actually see it as a scripted one and the flow just happens . Thanks to the late Nallandi for his impactful presence in the movie . Sure both Yogibabu , Vijay Sethupathi probably accepted those meagre but meaningful role just to contribute their share to this beautiful movie , that way probably many of them . Cinematography at its best , frames of nature all through . A peaceful watch with no noisy BGM and useless songs . Sure the entire movie crew must have been proud for their presence . Overall , Kadaisi Vivasayi, (KadaVulin Uruvai (God's Form) ) . Soulful. #kadaisivivasi #myview #sonyliv #besttamilfilm #national-award.

    😭

    This is a film that takes tamil cinema to its peak .

    Apart from ordinary cinema this is a gem of a creation . 😭😢 Made me cry .

    Every one should realise this and start doing agriculture in a natural way .

    Money can buy all the things apart from human happiness . Start doing agriculture .

    Realistic

    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 .

    rarest lively film, a must watch for all

    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.

    • Trivia
      Kadaisi Vivasayi - Vijay Sethupathi's character is a metaphor. He plays a nomad who is trying to move on from a personal loss. It's not a significant role but Sethupathi is always watchable and more importantly, he deserves credit for bankrolling this unique project - Deccan Herald
