 Review

The Movie belongs to the genre of road crime thriller drama, which is the biggest minus point of the movie. In such movies, the main attractive point of these genres is the chain of incidents that happen on the road, which could be the biggest positive for the storyline. Still, instead of this, the movie entirely focused on the relationship between Arjun and Kaya, which makes the screenplay dull and slow, and the story of the movie is very thin and only depends on how Arjun will find Kaya, except that the story doesn’t have any subplots to attract the audience.

Weak Story and Screenplay 

On Paper, the story and screenplay may look thrilling. The way this story is converted into a screenplay is very dull. For example, when a screenplay is entirely dependent on a road journey, the chain of incidents should be regular and consistent, but in the case of Vidaamuyarchi, firstly, there are very few action sequences, and whatever is there is not as impactful as it should have been not only this the movie also lacks a strong and impactful villain in front of Ajith Kumar and the other loopholes of the movie the way the plot is treated it reminding of Road released in 2002  having Vivek Oberoi, Antera Mali and Manoj Bachpayee in the lead.

Average Editing 

Here, editors should also be criticized for easily keeping this movie 2 Hours and 30 Minutes too long for a story like this. The movie could easily trim 25 to 30 Minutes.  Coming to direction Magizh Thurmani badly failed to convert an exciting idea into an exciting watch, looses the grip on screenplay many times. A road drama movie like this is incomplete without thrill, tension, and excitement. Coming to technical aspects, such as Production value, the Background score is decent, but don’t expect something extraordinary.

Actor's Performances

 In terms of acting, Ajit Kumar (Thala Ajit) delivered a sincere performance that will not be wrong to say He is the one who carried the movie on his shoulders. Vice Versa, it is not the best of Ajit Kumar, but still a mature performance by him. Trisha Krishna as Kayal is not worth mentioning in such stories. The female lead doesn’t have too much to offer, as the way her role was is as important as it should be. Arjun Serja, as an antagonist, serves as a worthy opponent to Ajit Kumar’s character. His effortless acting not only showcased how good an actor he is but also added depth to the screenplay.

Conclusion

 To Summarize. Vidaamuyarchi is an average to above-average movie with an interesting storyline, but weak direction is the biggest setback for the movie. Combined with a sincere performance by Ajit Kumar carried the movie of his shoulders, but the movie still can be a one-time watch for Ajit Kumar’s fans.
