Saw Virumaandi,SUPER!. Thats the one word to say.

Even I came to know the bits and pieces of story, there are new twists and the film is both commercial cum classic.
and all has lived in theis\r roles. Songs are less used and comedy is also less but full of action, love and bravery,
even patriotism.In Box office, i dont know will it be a blockbuster or not, but not a flop, it will satisfy all
catagories, as kamal is an innocent villager, no english dialogs or city based tastes, not even one charecter is
wasted, each charecter is well defined.
The screenplay is a bit modest.Playback is less used.To say about cons, now i dont feel anything as negative,
i have to see once again

  I do not agree completely with the review. This is a movie that is not suitable for the young. It is very violent. Violence is very graphic. Notwithstanding the good cinematography, good use of actors and the natural depiction of the rural life, there is this very heavy feel about this movie. Some parts of the movie were a little excessive, such as why take the viewer through the events (flashback of events) twice and why was the bull fight scene so long? The mutiny in the prison was rather excessive and the violence that took place rather graphic.

  I was expecting another Nayagan or Thevar Magan. Virumaandi is a total disappointment...

  I in A,
  Suggestion; if you wanted another Nayagan or Thevar Magan, just watch Nayagan and Thevar Magan again.

  This is another Padmashree Kamal Haasan's great movie. He has shown once again his talent n good performance to his fans. But what was dissappointment for me is selecting Illayaraja as his music director. I guess Deva or someone else could produce out a better music for this film.

  Dear Kamal,
  Why create so much hype,allow the movie speak for itself.You deserve all appreciation for showing your might and true worth in fighting back for the movie.Actually the courage and determination you have displayed in releasing this is far more interesting and engrossing than the actual movie itself.

  the moviews was really good.....
  bull fighting was real and difficult to like that in any other tamil movie... it was a good choise by selecting IR as music director...and he is the one can make a good composion and the real india music

  For those named Virumaandi as a dissapointment, i think those must have really enjoyed movies like THIRUDA THIRUDI, PIS, DUM, THIRUMALAI and those movies set to be in the list.
  I think they do not like Virumaandi just because the movie is thousand times better than some idiotic movies released.
  Virumaandi is the next movie joint in list with movie like NAYAGAN, THALAPATHY, KANNATHIL MUTTHAMITAL, NANDHA, PITHAMAGAN..
