Vaazhl (Live) narrates the story of a typical Indian youngster, living in the toxic Indian society, getting a 'life'.
Life is defined by the film to be meaningful, if it involves 'traveling', but you know what? Traveling doesn't exist in many people's definition of happy living.
That is, the idea of living, differs from person to person.
For some, life has just to be simple where for others, it has to be peaceful. The idea of leaving one's home, troubles many. Traveling doesn't suit a lot of people.
In the modern Indian film culture, we see a growing number of heroes, leaving their jobs, taking their bikes and wandering across the world, giving a cool perception, of the character's life.
Not theirs.
Hence, what the film 'Vaazhl''s advises can be utterly ridiculous to many. It's story, being surreal and overly fictional, might be bothering for some. I like Taramani kind of film, totally happening.
Apart from the story of the film, technically praising, the cinematography was breath taking. I'll recommend the film if you are pleased by the beautiful visions of a film. The music was breezy, passing through the film, adding emotions to it.
Small stories, which are pinned then and there in the film, narrated by using different aspect ratios are unique. The story telling was aruvi level. All the actors did their part convincingly. The director is surely one of the gems of Tamil cinema.
Concluding, Vaazhl is for those, whose ideas of life correlate with the film and for those, who are impressed by the way a story is told, rather than the story itself. Practical people might not be able to cope up with the film.
With a range of mixed emotions,
Vetrri.
