A Raw and Emotional Portrayal of Rural Struggles:

This movie is about Sivanaindhan, a school student who is forced to work at weekends and holidays as a labourer to carry heavy banana bunches to pay his family's debt. The movie covers Sivanaidhan's friendship, his crush on a teacher, the state of villagers relying on only one job and the exploitation by the owner.The movie starts with a serious flashforward scene of the movie's conflict. The school sequences, the fights and the unity between Sivanaidhan and his friend Sekhar, Sivanaidhan's infatuation towards his Teacher Poongodi, and the love scenes of Kani and Vembu were written as if in a slice-of-life movie. The attempt of Sivanaidhan and his friend Sekhar to avoid going to labour work was funny as well, as it shows how badly they hated it.The conflicts were written as whenever Sivanaidhan does something for his joy it reverts to him negatively. I set my mind that something bad was going to happen as I saw the characters were happy for some time. The movie shows how the poor are being exploited without proper pay and treated poorly by the owners and middlemen. The movie gets darker by the climax. All the emotions were high in the movie, as required. The movie is good in every aspect.Mari Selvaraj did a great job in crafting the true incident into a story of a schoolboy and then as a movie. Respect for him goes up, and I have high expectations for his next movie. The two boys who played Sivanaidhan and Sekhar did very well in their roles as debut actors. Other actors were good too as they played their roles well in the movie. The cinematography and composition were good. The music and songs play a vital role in this film to give a fulfilling experience.In conclusion, I love this movie. It has had a huge impact on me. I would suggest everyone to watch this at least once.

A Slow-Burning Masterclass in Authentic Filmmaking

The film seems to be a slow-burn narrative that resonates more with an audience familiar with rural life and its everyday struggles, rather than catering to mainstream entertainment. While it lacks the high-paced drama or action many viewers might expect, the technical aspects such as cinematography, direction, acting, and background score are undoubtedly praiseworthy, which is often a hallmark of art films.The comparison to Rahul Dravid's batting style -steady, technically sound, and unflashy - perfectly encapsulates the film's approach. It's methodical and patient, not relying on extravagant or high-intensity moments, but rather on the steady build-up of simple yet meaningful storytelling. The climax, as you pointed out, brings everything together and provides a satisfying conclusion, making the earlier slow pace feel justified.In summary, Vazhai appears to be a well-crafted art film, best suited for audiences with an appreciation for subtle, authentic filmmaking rather than those seeking high entertainment value.

Good drama with Award winning lengthy shots

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Hotstar Source: NilThe movie has powerful and highly impacting climax. The complete story is (very) slowly moving towards that climax portion. All these slow narration adding more impact for the climax. But one point of time you will get bored with the lengthy shots and unnecessary stretch of some scene sequences.This movie definitely lack the eventful screenplay of "Pariyerum perumal". There is not much events in the first half and most of the events are get windup in second half only. I almost went to snooze state when "panchu mittai" song stretches, but the next scene its stunning....Bear the slow and uneventful narration for the climax....
