    Excellent Drama (i cried for many scene)

    I usually don't Comment... But I want to comment this movie....

    i have seen I AM SAM.... and its a excellent drama made me cry in many scene..... I felt the Same for Deiva Thirumagal... Mostly If we saw the original movie, we don't feel the same about "Based on" or Remakes....But Here it is so fresh and director vijay gave it with original quality and excellent making.... Casting is so amazing especially Nila Character.... she s beautiful and very talented.... and of course we know about Vikram... what can i say... He proved once again.... Totally i Recommend this movie, and its real worth...

    Deiva Thirumagal is a 2011 Tamil drama film written and directed by Vijay and produced by Mohan Natarajan.The film comprises director Vijay's 'regular' technical crew with G. V. Prakash Kumar as music composer, Nirav Shah as cinematographer and Anthony as editor.

    Beautiful and Emotional relationship between Father and Daughter!

    I saw Deiva Thirumagal movie.... Mind blowing movie... I cried for a few minutes but i was happy to cry... I like Vikram but after watching his performance in this movie i become a great fan of him... I really admire him for his dedication and hard work towards cinema... Most surprising elements are Baby Sarah, Anushka, Amla Paul and Santhanam. Baby Sarah stole the show with her outstanding performance. Anushka proved she can do performance role with perfection too... Santhanam is a great actor not only for his humour and also for his serious acting skills... Best movie to describe the beautiful relationship between father and daughter... I can say that you will cry but you will be happy to cry that is special of this movie... This movie should deserve good Box Office Collections so please watch in theatre because this is Deiva Thirumagal and it is Aweeeeeeeeesome!!!!!! Thanks...

    With love, Krishna

    I luckily got two tickets yesterday for Deivathirumagal(Inspired by I'm Sam). The movie kick-starts with the VIKRAM FEVER. Seriously, this guy is like some kind of a virus and you just can't stop liking that virus whatsoever! hats off! The Ups are more comparatively in this movie. Even a few minor errors have been vanished by the strength of the positives! The movie has two halves and definitely the first half is better than the second half because there are lot of vikramless scenes in the second half! Okay now let me categorize

    UPS: -Vikram's acting

    -Anushka's bold acting and Nasser's maturity at times help!

    -GV's Music- Really a strength. It made many scenes particularly KRISHNA-NILA interactions lively!

    -Krishna-Nila interactions and situations

    -Humor contents with M.S. Bhaskar and Vikram, Santhanam's comedy scenes at the beginning.

    -Screenplay's strength when Vikram's on focus.

    -Camera in OOTY

    DOWNS: -Vikramless scenes in second half were lengthy.

    -Krishna friends' acting

    -Shweta's(amala paul) dad- God help his acting!

    -Editing- Cuts could have been more crisp and movies like these need slow editing like passing, not cut and a start!

    -A few logic damages.

    -Dialogues in the courtroom should have been powerful. -Unnecessary song VIZHIGALIL!

    -Camera in Chennai.

    Had these minor perfection missing scenes were corrected the movie would've been equal to I'm Sam…Still a great film carried by VIKRAM!

    Unconditional Love well portrayed.

    Deiva Thirumagal - Must watch in a theater. The bond between 'Krishna' and 'Nila' and the way they have portrayed it will never be forgotten for a long time. We couldn't control our tears towards the end of the movie. Perfect blend of all elements - Music, Screenplay, Dialogues, Camera and acting.. Can never be made better.

    Music by GV Prakash is fabulous. The theme music still plays back in my mind.

    Vikram - Bow down to your acting, sir!

    Baby Sarah as Nila - Great potential.. Very cute acting and her cuteness is the ultimate emotional factor in this movie!

    Santhanam's comedy is good, but is not very hilarious.

    Anushka did justice to her role.

    Amala Paul - Artificial acting apparent.

    The movie is absolutely fabulous and you will come out of the movie hall with a heavy heart and a smile on your face!!

    After Kannathil Muthamital, This is the only film which brought tears in my eyes.

    I know am not the first to start praising about Deivathirumagal, still this movie deserves appreciation from every cell of my body. Am not ashamed to make it public that I was in tears through out the film. It was a spectacular display of emotions by both the father and the daughter. A beautifully crafted relationship. Vikram surpassed Sean Penn by truly living the character on the screen. Baby Sarah, no wonder you performed exceedingly cute, considering the fact that acting runs in the family blood. You have made your daddy proud. Director Vijay too needs kudos for keeping the movie clean from scratch till the end. All in all, a wonderful experience. So good to see Tamil Cinema heading in the right direction. Vikram, no one could have done that role better than you, and you never fail to impress me.

There's a female voice correcting him, saying "adhu collateral damage". But, none of the people in the room are seen speaking this line.
