Apr 28, 2023VendhuThanindhathuKaadu what an outstanding movie it was! A diff movie from GVM. ARR songs & BGM were next level! Apart from all that SilambarasanTR_ nailed it, such unique acting from him. What an outstanding performer he is! Can't wait for part 2! BLOCKBUSTER!! Thalaivan has given his career best performance as 'MUTHU'! He's back to rule & there's no step back after this. Eagerly waiting for part 2! A definite hat-trick for STR-GVM-ARR trio!! Thanking GauthamMenon SilambarasanTR ARRahman for this outstanding movie! Definitely worth all your money to watch it in theatre. After movies like KGF2, Vikram, Don another blockbuster is VTK for this year. Throughly enjoyed this nearly 3hrs masterpiece! And this is how you should take a movie if it's gonna be 3hrs long.

Apr 28, 2023This movie definitely isn't for everyone in my opinion. It's long, the pace is very slow, there are no hero centric moments, the love story isn't great, BUT if you love raw, authentic cinema this one is for you. VTK reminded me of films like Nayakan, Pudhupettai, The God Father, and Scarface. These were all stories that took their time to build it's characters, you see and feel every moment of their rise, and VTK does the same thing. GVM uses his 173 minutes of screen-time wisely by slowly building, layer by layer, this character Muthuveeran (played by Simbu) and you see his life, his journey, and then his eventual rise in the underworld. The first half of the film was my absolute favourite. The setup of characters and the environment and life they're in was so convincing, and it slowly built up in intensity to explode in what I'm now considering one of my favourite interval blocks ever. I can go on and on about the interval block but I just gotta say I absolutely LOVED the cinematography during that sequence. Moving on to the second half of the movie, this is where I felt it kinda let go of it's steam. We see this rise in pacing and intensity in the first half, with a stellar interval block, and then the movie decides to drop down again in both pacing and intensity, and decides to build that again. Which I'm seeing that some people liked, but I would have loved if they just kept building up from that point onwards. We're also presented with the main love track, which if GVM went his usual route, I feel like would have felt more necessary to the story. Not that it wasn't necessary, it played a key role in the climax, but I wasn't pulled in to their love story the way I was pulled in with AYM or Yennai Arindhaal. At points it also felt like it started to struggle to be a GVM film versus a Jeyamohan film. And then finally we reach the end of the movie, which to me was the biggest let down. The climax was great, but it was ruined with the rushed setup of a part II, ultimately resulting in a film that felt unfinished. But I do think once part ii comes out, and we get to look at this story as a whole, it'll feel a lot better. Just unfortunate that we can't see this as a standalone film. But I'm very excited to see Part II, and by the looks of it - it will happen. Finally, I just want to talk about Simbu. He KILLED it. There is not even the smallest trace of Simbu the star in this movie. He was a totally different person, he underplayed to his range, which was needed for this specific character. He's convincing as Muthuveeran, and you see him put in the smallest of details into playing this character which is believable from start to finish. He's definitly keeping his promise of only choosing scripts his fans would be proud of and as a fan, I am very proud of what he brought to the screen. Super stoked to see what he has in store for us in Pathu Thala, Corona Kumar, and eventually VTK part 2. In conclusion, Although the screenplay, especially with all the ups and downs in the second half of the film along with the rushed ending, could have been much better, this movie is one to appreciate. I didn't touch on it because we already know it's perfect but AR Rahman's music and background score was phenomenal, cinematography was so so so good, Simbu's performance was top class, and GVM is moving on to this new style of filmmaking. This may be a very bold statement but there are films made for movie lovers, and then for people who appreciate the art of cinema. This one is 100% for the latter, and should at least be watched once by all.
