Vazhakku Enn 18/9 2012 Movie Review - Best Film of 2012



The much anticipate movie from the Kaadhal director is out and has received exuberant response from all classes of audience.

The great success after simple Kaadhal and an average success after Kallori, director Balaji Sakthivel and his team are back on the news and in the limelight with their new flick Vazhakku Enn 18/9. Balaji Sakthivel is noted not only for his realistic style of film making, but also for his observation skills and ability to transform these observations into a neat celluloid version that attracts viewers. Surprisingly, Vazhakku Enn 18/9 is an out-and-out love story. The film deals with how the concept of love has changed today, beginning with the so-called 'boyfriend-girlfriend' culture. The film is produced jointly by Thirupathi Brothers and UTV Motions Pictures; and has newcomers Sri, Mithu Murali and Urmila Mahanta in the lead roles.



The the script is which is about over everything and the real hero is the screenplay. Director Balaji Sakthivel has once again proved that it is not necessary to have big star's dates to make a good film. The director has used the first half to narrate the background information of all the characters and the story progresses in the second half. Unlike the regular perception that Vazhakku Enn... is an intense rural drama, the film is an intense love story which is pure and simple. Balaji Sakthivel's screenplay is well supported by S. D. Vijay Milton's camera works. He has used a Canon EOS 7D digital camera for the filming of this flick. Another major highlight of the flick is the soundtrack composed by noted guitarist R. Prasanna. Gopi Krishna's editing could have been better. On the flip side, the second half could have been tweaked a bit to increase the pace of the film. Awards are for sure, but now it would be interesting to see how audience welcome it!



Perfect casting! Sri, who played the lead role in TV serial Kana Kaanum Kaalangal, has done an excellent job as Velu. Malayalam child star Mithun Murali is equally good but his dubbing could have been better. Urmila Mahanta is innocent and naive; Manisha Yadav is perfect for the role. The rest of the star cast Muthuraman, Chinnasamy, Senthil, Rani, Rithika, Goutham, Vidhya Eeshwar and Anjali have done their roles very well.

Sometimes, the too real a movie gets, too violent the script becomes! However, this defect was not at all present in the movie. The movie, like Kaadhal, definitely leaves an impact after it is over.

Balaji Sakthivel team has presented a well-made reality flick again. Undoubtedly, this movie will make a mark in the history of reality cinema and it would be of no big surprise, if this is going to be the best film of the year 2012.

The movie easily gets a 5 out of 5 rating on every aspect!
