    Better than its Hindi version

    Aayitha Ezhuthu is yet another class-A movie from Mani Ratnam. And please note that it is not a remake of the Mexican movie 'Amores Perros' as said by another user. If you had seen amores perros and understood the movie, you'd come to know that aayitha ezhuthu is completely different from it. There are many movie with the same theme - an incident making the characters meet, for eg. 21 grams which was released in 2000, long before amores perros concept was even conceived. So shall I call Amores perros a shameless remake of 21 grams - remove the authenticity, good actors, change the theme and voila!!! u get Amores perros???

    Something non-linear about it

    Just watched this movie for the umpteenth time, since 2003. The catch of this movie would be the non-linearity with which it moves, similar to that 'Alaipayuthey'. This could give you the feeling of watching a Tarantino movie.

    Remember watching this movies with my folks and I had to make them digest the way the story moved with the individual perceptions of the main 3 characters.

    The title of the movie is a Tamil vowel, which are 3 dots, signifying the 3 of them.

    Some may feel parts of the movie as redundant as they are repeated time and again. But they do blend well in the course of time.

    Kudos to Maniji for making an actor of each one of them. Even non-performers have done their bit.

    Better watch the movie if you still haven't.

    We Need This Sure

    Brilliant Story and executed in good manner. As usual Mani Proves himself. Surya acting is gone extreme and his manerisms are showed mature. sidarth looks new choclate boy, Atlast maddy has gotten new role in his carrier (arrogant man with only one loving wife). ARR given very good music and BGM . Nice movie (what we want now is started on the screen).

    An Underrated masterpiece

    Aayutha ezhuthu is an underrated film of Maniratnam. Despite being the first tamil film to introduce hyperlink narrative style with a exciting screenplay I dont know why it was not celebrated like other Mani sir's movies like Nayagan, Thalapathy, Iruvar , Alaipayuthey etc. To this day Aayutha ezhuthu is my most fav movie done by Maniratnam.

    • Trivia
      Initially, the movie was planned to be made without songs, and Mani Ratnam had roped in composer A.R. Rahman only for the background score. However, in due course, Rahman came up with a few tunes and harmonies which impressed Mani Ratnam so much that they ended up being placed as 6 songs in the film.
