Special thanks to dhanush for thinking out of the box and that too bilingual flick tasting the success that's sounds great,his presence and the way he carries out onscreen is a major asset to the movie,a well deserved success even better then previous outing....
G.v prakash bgm and couple of songs are soul of the movie....
Heroine portion could have been omitted nothing gain and just added runtime....
Director should have been a student and his inspiration of his guru should have been based on true incidents does give us a neat and real commercial success....
Overall a neat family entertainer that highlights the student and teacher relationship and the value of education.
This movie shows us the real meaning of Make in India. Padhega India, Tabhi toh Badhega India!! This movie shows the value of education. Dhanush always surprises us with something new. But Vaathi is something special, something different he did. Fantastic story, Superb performances, Mind blowing screenplay. Overall a full package of Magic.
Role of a teacher in our lives is unavoidable. A teacher does not teaches a student but makes a good human. If a teacher wants, can make someone star.
Overall I personally liked the movie so much. It touches my heart.
The first step of Make in India should be Educate India.

This movie is amazing. D literally lived in this character. The first half was decent and the second half was excellent. Supoorting actors acted well and the heroine was cute and had more space screen than usually. Dhanush and Samukta formed a cute pair and she can remember some of our teachers. GV music and Bgm were incredible. Fights were terrific. The were some flaws in the dubbing. Samutrakani did his job well. The screen play was super and Dialogues are the next positive in the movie: they are really impactful. The message is needed. Venki did his best: Vaathi is a lesson that we have to learn.
From the moment the movie started I couldn't help but to shed tears for every scene because whatever happened in the movie is happening in real life. Dhanush's acting 10000/10 and Ken really brought life to the scenes. What a combo dhanush n Ken!! Not only both of them but everyone else who was involved in this movie did an amazing and excellent job. I'm glad I went for the movie. Education is like presatham, give it don't sell it. Gv Prakash my love, he did a fantastic job with the BGM and songs. Everything was on point. Stephen Zachariah's voice was a little auto tuned but I still loved the song one life. I hope more awareness movies will be made in the future.
Well, first let me just say that I'm not usually the one that writes reviews! But wow! This movie is really underrated. The plot was solid 10/10 for me and the Dhanush's acting just the cherry on the top. Musical direction is also top notch. Granted, some of other cast performance was not that great (such as the lead actress). But overall, this was a solid film and they delivered it as promised.
I can't believe movies like Varisu or Thunivu has better viewership, but masterpieces like this left unnoticed. You're highly advised to watch this on theater! You won't regret it.
I'm not being biased, but this movie really stolen 10/10 from me.
