A heart drenching movie!
theachronicles16 July 2021
Vaazhl is all about what we are missing on our daily lives. Life can be uncertain at times. But what if that uncertainty makes our life travel in an unexpected path. The two parallel women, charming Yatra Amma who runs for her life in loose ends. And Tanya a bold and beautiful who loves to wander trashing the mundane lifestyle adds warmth to the movie.

Pradeep Antony's humours acting and scenes between Yatra and him are heart drenching.

Pradeep Kumar's soulful music adds extra subtle and calmness to our heart. Cinematography is definitely the visual treat..

Tomorrow is tomorrow ( Naliki naliki) Live for today. Vaazl is definitely a must and worth watch!

If you are a travel freak, you will love this movie.

Only if life is thaaat happening! - Daretoreadme
Vetrrich_Chelvan17 July 2021
Vaazhl (Live) narrates the story of a typical Indian youngster, living in the toxic Indian society, getting a 'life'.

Life is defined by the film to be meaningful, if it involves 'traveling', but you know what? Traveling doesn't exist in many people's definition of happy living.

That is, the idea of living, differs from person to person.

For some, life has just to be simple where for others, it has to be peaceful. The idea of leaving one's home, troubles many. Traveling doesn't suit a lot of people.

In the modern Indian film culture, we see a growing number of heroes, leaving their jobs, taking their bikes and wandering across the world, giving a cool perception, of the character's life.

Not theirs.

Hence, what the film 'Vaazhl''s advises can be utterly ridiculous to many. It's story, being surreal and overly fictional, might be bothering for some. I like Taramani kind of film, totally happening.

Apart from the story of the film, technically praising, the cinematography was breath taking. I'll recommend the film if you are pleased by the beautiful visions of a film. The music was breezy, passing through the film, adding emotions to it.

Small stories, which are pinned then and there in the film, narrated by using different aspect ratios are unique. The story telling was aruvi level. All the actors did their part convincingly. The director is surely one of the gems of Tamil cinema.

Concluding, Vaazhl is for those, whose ideas of life correlate with the film and for those, who are impressed by the way a story is told, rather than the story itself. Practical people might not be able to cope up with the film.

With a range of mixed emotions, Vetrri.

Travel Movie!!
sriramthestranger18 July 2021
A man caught in an unexpected twist of events travels without knowing the destination. The editor and screenplay deserves a special mention. The climax is predictable and after somepoint the movie shifts to exotic locations aka nature. Good movie to watch!

Good Story and Good Concept but failed to implement the techniques
imorfilmaharish17 July 2021
Let me clarify To commercial fans people would love this movie and this will be their favorite And to offbeat audience this film is a gem they keep speaking about this To the art fans this film is a dumb Because this film's contain really a good story and good concept but when go to the technical side it's just horrible lot of mistakes have been done and the script should have been still bold and cinematography is totally sucks sometimes I feel like I am watching an student project really it sucks and when I speak about direction it is just poor because the scene arrangement and shot selection and method of story telling and casting and I mean everything is poor performance and I speak about acting it's just below average and lot of unwanted scenes and lot of unwanted concepts and unwanted shots and sometimes the story is not clear. Imagine if this script was directed by some great legends like vetrimaaran think about the film's future now u may understand my thing it's just great story but failed to implement in technical and I think people should get concept of this film and learn some good things and forget about it yeah! It hurts but there is no way just poor technical performance.

Watch with an open mind ! Watch first and then decide.
B1slowburn16 July 2021
This is an absolutely mesmerizing film! One of the best of 2021 along with Mandela and Karnan. However you need to make sure you don't go in without any expectations of how a film should be made or any norms... Watching this film in the pandemic times where we are confined to our houses gives us a magical experience.

There is so much ideas and philosophical ideas inserted. However it can impact people differently; thus you shouldn't rely on others opinions. If the films works then you have a profound experience...however..if it didn't...you have lost nothing because the cinematography in this film is top notch.

Review of Vaazhl, On SonyLIV: Arun Prabhu Packages A Crash Course In Enlightenment As An Entertaining Drama
shefali-5924416 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
If director Arun Prabhu Purushothaman's last film, Aruvi, was concerned about social problems, Vaazhl explores the personal. Abruptly and in the middle of action, we meet Prakash (Pradeep) as he's drowning in a blue mass of water. He's fighting for life because his leg is stuck under a rock underwater. When we rewind to the beginning of his story, we see him in a blue-looking Chennai, stuck in a dreary IT job, dready relationship and a dreary family. Can he breathe freely again? But when you think you're going to get a message, Vaazhl gives you an idiosyncratic and well-crafted experience instead.

Awestruck experience!
manojbharathk16 July 2021
Deal with tomorrow, tomorrow. (Naalaikkku Naalaikkku)

Live your today to the fullest (Vaazhl) is all about the movie.

A therapeutic cure (via Art) for the current situation.

Great parallelism through storytelling used between Yaathraa and Yashodha.

Never miss this movie.. I swear you'll go spellbound for sure...

Vaazhl, irrespective of nalam/valam...

First half works. Second half doesn't
bigtimedreamer-7328416 July 2021
Watchable first half. A sorry 2nd half. Visuals are striking but the story falls flat and pointless. The best part is music and cinematography and sadly nothing else. It fails to achieve the absurdity it intends to. It starts off well but soon loses its path and falls flat.

Journey makes changes

Unexpected Travel have shown the different dimension of life!

Cool film especially for IT Guys. Well Crafted with unpredictable turns. Kudos to the Director. Cinematography and Background Music were the great pillars to hold the film and to stay engaged. We'll find the inner peace by watching those great locations on the screen. Different Story and Difficult Screenplay. Good Production Work. Artists performance stood strong. Appreciation for Technical Works. Applause to the entire team. Nice film to watch especially in theaters.

Enjoy Ur life, bcoz u have only one life
rajaram-4857720 July 2021
I really like this director , he always want to convey the message that everyone should be treated equally irrespective of age,gender, etc.,

This movie really touched important areas like Male domination, Hyper active child, Feminism, wanderlust.

Pradeep music Ahaah... Visuals ohooo..

Don't live for the society,live for yourself and for your loved ones.

No body knows what is wrong and what is right.

Not only people u meet, sometimes movies u watch will also change Ur life.

Cons- love torture scenes and office scenes are not necessarily needed.

Glorified documentary
saran2418 July 2021
Director is caught between making a movie and documentary and ended up doing both. Couldn't help fidgeting in the chair during second half. Too many logical issues which does not gel with reality.

Beautiful.
yashwanthk-2813218 July 2021
Vaazhl: Vaazhl is every filmmaker's dream. Travel around the world,take some beautiful shots,make it cinematic add a pinch of story. This film is exactly this and I thought it was gonna be the best film in this category until the start of the second half. Maybe the director went into a dilemma,a confused state as to where to take the film after the first half.. It all seemed confused.. I'll come back to the second half later.. I'll first talk about the excellency of the first half.. All the characters were well developed,the story moved well, atleast it had a point. The second half seemed like a tourism advertisement with a bunch of random though beautiful cinematic shots and the character Taniya lacked depth and seemed nowhere and entropical. The second half left me with a lot of unanswered questions. Maybe the director could have smoked the same weed as the first half and could have made it a masterpiece.

The name says everything about this movie. Just watch it and maybe, just maybe you might even start thinking about going on a journey. Doesn't matter where, how or why. It's the experience that matters. The exotic and virgin locations will make you "mei maranthen" the line which keeps echoing throughout the movie.

celebration of quintessential life
Thushaakar17 July 2021
Refreshing content and moderately engaging. Relatable.

Outstanding visuals & excellent camera work. Should have been a big screen experience.

Not sure whether it will click with all the sections.

Watchable!

Totally Unrealistic, annoying background songs, full movie in montages
skiruthika-6023121 July 2021
Poor handling of the concept! The indepth of what the maker wanted to portray to the audience has been spoiled with ruthless editing, clarity deficit direction and the most annoying bgm and background songs that only brings headache and nothing else. The maximum of the movie moves in terms of montages and slow motion. Why can't story telling be more clear, precise, simple and pleasing?? Most of the places the movie is unrealistic. Don't know why the makers have forgetten that they are directing a movie and not an album. So many background songs and none of which is soothing or captivating. How one scene pitches into the next scene is totally annoying, as it is either too fast or too abrupt. If you still have patience, give it a shot! Best of luck!!

FEEL GOOD MOVIE BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE
prashaddankster17 July 2021
THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE IS THE CAMERA WORK,THE DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY DESERVES MORE. A GOOD CASTING WITH GREAT ACTING. THERE IS NO ANY ARTIFICIAL ACTING OR SCENES. PRADEEP KUMAR UNDERRATED GEM OF TAMIL CINEMA, HIS MUSIC EASILY HELPS THE SCENE TO GIVE US AN IMPACT.

THERE IS MANY LOOPHOLES IN THIS MOVIE. SO DONT SEE THE LOGICAL ERRORS. Especially climax

SO JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE.

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE OF 2021.
