Vaazhl - to live



Vaazhl is the new movie from Aruvi fame Arun Prabu Purushothaman. Vaazhl is a movie which is as simple as the title. The movie explores the idea of living.

There is not much when it comes to the plot of the movie. Prakash is the lead role in the movie. He works in an IT company and has a girlfriend, but it is clear he is not happy with his life. The general assumption everyone makes is that when someone has a well paying job and someone to love them, they should be happy but he is not. The movie kind of has an answer for that.

Due to some unexpected events Prakash starts to travel and the travelling mentally gets him to the places where he wanted to be. Vaazhl shows how beautiful the world can be if we let it.

This movie is just about the travel chapter of Prakash’s life and the people he meets in that time.


“நீ சந்திக்கிற மனுஷங்க உன் வாழ்கையை மாத்துற சக்தி படைச்சவங்க”


We don’t want to reveal anything about the movie. Vaazhl deserved a theatre release - at least the cinematographer deserved a theatre release. The cinematographer Shelly Calist must have worked really hard.  He made this movie incredibly beautiful. It  was a treat for the eyes to watch the movie. It was just unbelievably incredibly so well done and the locations chosen for the shooting was also really good.


Pradeep Kumar did really well as a music director. Every song felt different from what we normally see in movies. Songs were really well placed. Pradeep Antony as Prakash, TJ Bhanu as Yatra amma, Diva Dhawan everyone performed well and natural but TJ Bhanu stands out as the best performer from the movie.


Even though the movie was a visual treat, something felt off. It didn’t have the same impact that Aruvi did. Especially in the second half of the movie it made us fall in love with nature but not with the movie. The movie felt a bit vague but it is intentional. 


The movie definitely has its ups and downs but it is a must watch. You can't miss this movie. Would definitely recommend this movie just because of the visuals. Overall Vaazhl falls a little short to be a great movie but it delivered a great message

Aviyal's Thoughts on Kanguva

  Here is our review with some ignorable spoilers. There is a scene where a boy cries looking at something. Another adult character comes near him and sees the boy is looking at a mother bird feeding her hatchlings, which reminds him of his dead mother. Understanding this, the adult also starts crying. If you are done cringing, let’s analyse the movie a little. The title card copied the same as Vijay in Goat but zero impact with terrible music. Cinematography is the worst at places. For example, in the same scene, when they show different characters in separate frames, the color of the forest changes. Edit cuts are terrible, as sometimes it seems like what the heck are we watching. They said the movie is made on a huge budget, and Surya is not a big hero who eats up half of the budget as salary, but still, CGI is at worst⁠ even in a scene where they toss a wine bottle. And about the crocodile scene, it was poorly shot and worked. They could’ve cut it off as it was just a filler....

Aviyal's Top 5 Movies of 2024

  No, no, no, no, it is never too late to make a top 5 movies of 2024 list. I am actually angry with every Tamil movie released in 2024. I mean, for the first six months there was nothing, and all of a sudden great movies came out week after week. I was legit broke at a point. Plan better, guys.  2024 was a great year for Tamil cinema. It is true that we saw duds like G.O.A.T, but on the other hand, we got really really good movies. Let’s make a top 5 list of 2024. Before getting to the list, remember that this is one person’s opinion. If you don’t see your favorite movie on the list, it doesn’t mean it is a bad movie. I just prefer these 5 movies.  Sheesh, the amount of disclaimers we have to give in 2025. Kannism ruined everything. Anyway, here’s the list: 5. Lubber Panthu Lubber Panthu came out of the syllabus. No one knew about this movie. It randomly came out one day and became one of the most successful movies of 2024. What I loved about Lubber Panthu is that every ...

ஏன்?

  சூரியன் மிகவும் கோபமாக  இருந்த ஒரு மே மாதத்தின் ஞாயிற்றுக் கிழமை அன்று. கார்திக் புதிதாக வாங்கிய சோபாவில் அமர்ந்து அண்ணாந்து ஃபேன்ஐ பார்த்து  கொண்டு இருந்தான். அது என்னவோ தெரியவில்லை மே மாததில் மட்டும் ஃபேன்கள் தங்கள் முழு உழைபைப் போட்டு வேலை செய்தாலும் திட்டத்தான் தோணும். கார்திக்கும் அதைதான் செய்து கொண்டிருந்தான்.  தன் வீட்டு ஃபேன்ஐ மட்டுமில்லாமல் சூரியனையும் சேர்த்து சபித்தான்.  கார்திக் ஒரு ஐடி ஊழியன். ஐடி கம்பெனி  என்றால் சினிமாவில் காட்டுவதுபோல் பெரிய கம்பெனி ஒன்றும் இல்லை. ஓரு இருபது பேர் இருப்பார்கள். 12 ஆண்கள் 7 பெண்கள் அந்த பெண்களை தொல்லை செய்யும் ஒரு மேனேஜர் அவ்வளவுதான்.  “5 மினிட்ஸ்ங்க  ” என்று கிச்சன்க்குள்ளிருந்து ஒரு குரல் வந்தது. சுமதி கணவனுக்கு பிடித்த சிக்கன் சமைத்து கொண்டிருந்தாள். உடலெல்லாம் வியர்வை. ஆனால் அதைப்பற்றி அவளுக்கு கொஞ்சமமும் கவலையில்லை. தன்னவனுக்காக சமைக்கின்றோம் என்கிற ஒரு சந்தோஷம்.         கல்யாணம் முடிந்து  ஒரு மாதம் ஆகியிருந்தது. பத்து நாள் ஹனிமூனில் மூணாரை சுற்றி...
