Ilayaraja

Ilayaraja (English: given Malayali name; Younger King) is about hidden talent in kids and yet it aims so high with its pitch that it becomes a preachy tale of how talent can help you pay your bills albeit in a not-so-well way with issues in almost all filmmaking departments and especially in the dubbing and editing ones where the director has chosen to take the easy way out.

Very touching and inspiring movie worth watching. Familiar cast but they performed like never before with new comers. Really appreciate the crew, the director, writer, photographer and the musician for the bgm which brings out the essence of the story.

One of the best movie I have recently watched and enjoyed. It is a very good famiy entertainer. A very good message to the kids and the family. Please do not miss it and make sure watch it in the nearest theaters.

Behind all the melodrama and woes of the poor, we have a beautiful message - success and geniuses can come from anywhere. Very good story but the pacing could've been better.

I saw a great potential in the movie, but towards the end you will feel that it could have been done better. There so many good moments, but the bad execution kills it. The dragged events just lets down the plot, they could have easily made the film trimmed, as there were many unnecessary scenes. The message it put forwards is very nice. They meant this one as an inspirational movie, even though it still is, it lacks the lustre that inspirational movies give. The direction and screenplay is a let down. Could have been done better. The cast is bad. The child artists were very imperfect. They were a point of focus, and they gave you that ' we are acting' feeling. The story is good, many unwanted plotlines though. But i think the acting is the culprit. Overall an average movie
