I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

You must've heard of 1-joke movies. Well, this one's a single concept flick. They decided to make something unique, and found a good concept, but other than doing a little with it, they run out of ideas. They do surround the concept with a good team of technical staff and actors, but the one they missed out on was a good helmer. Balaji Mohan, IMHO, is not up to the task, looking at the end result, that is.The good parts? The concept, the satirical take on the whole thing, and a few other extensions, like TaNaKuSa and the fan club, having some fun with the existing tropes in society. Also, ripping of the aspect from Paul Verhoeven's Robocop with having a parallel media narration track works well for this genre, and specifically this flick. Among the performances, everyone gives it their all, but are hampered by the (lack of) characterization, but more on that later. Pandiaraajan, John Vijay, the actor playing the Minister's PA and the head of TaNaKuSa acquit themselves quite admirably, along with 'Roja' Madhoo.The bad? Lazy writing, as evidenced by not writing a single word, smart or otherwise, for the lead, whose strength is supposedly talking his way out of any situation/resolving everything using his gift of gab. Even more ironic, considering he loses his "super-power" for about half of the movie. I, for one, would have liked to see said super-power in play before that event. Its like having Superman's powers wiped out by Kryptonite even before we see him fly or don the cape. Screen writing 101. That was extremely disappointing. Lack of good characterization hampers even a great actress like Nazriya Nazim, who did a fantastic job earlier this year in 'Ohm Shanthi Oshaana', and also in a lesser-work like 'Raja Rani'. I've never seen Dulquer Salmaan act before, and cannot profess similarly about his prowess, but I'm sure that he might have been able to display more range, given the opportunity. The score - given that this movie relies on silence for a major portion of its running time, one would have expected a stronger score. What exists is not bad, but does not elevate the material in any way either. Rajat Kapoor (other than for 'Aankhon Dekhi', which has perhaps some of the strongest scoring to-date) has been accused for focusing more on content rather than technical aspects, but when you think of his works overall, you don't find them wanting due to a weak score. This one needed something better for us to digest the weak content. Alas, that is not to be.To sum it up, one must watch this at the multiplex, just to encourage something 'different', but I sorely wish the makers had not taken their audiences for granted on the other aspects of film-making.

So every other reviewer is raving about this film... maybe I'm too critical or maybe I missed the point. Who knows? I struggled through this film wondering if it was supposed to be a 'comedy', 'romance' or 'kids movie' or even all of the above. The concept is interesting; a town where no-one can be speak (for reasons I won't go into - watch the film if you want to know why) and a second act (i.e. post interval) that is taking its queue from silent films and/or The Artist. It's novel, decently executed but grates after a while; I almost wanted someone to speak and relieve us from all the hand gestures. Now I'm a fan of Dulquer Salmaan and despite his pin up looks, he is a good actor and believable in almost every role I've seen him in and the same goes here. Despite this, it's not enough to rescue the film from being nothing more than a "good attempt" at something different. The newsreader (Balaji Mohan, who I believe is also the writer and director of the film) is fairly entertaining as the obligatory South Indian comedy element to the film. If this had been a DVD, I would've switched it off 30 minutes in; but as I watched it in a cinema, I sat through the whole thing. It was pleasant but that's about it.

Ratings : 4\5 (Esp for creativity and boldness) Vaayai Moodi Pesavum is easily one of the best films(very few) in recent times. A Lovely and a Coolest film to watch this summerDirection : Balaji Mohan has handled the script(his own) with brilliant narration. The mix of fiction,Romcom and Satire is new to Tamizh Cinema ! Actors : Dulquer has made a promising debut with flawless acting. Spl appreciation for his effort to dub in tamizh in his own voice(and has succeeded too) Nazriya's skills are increasing film by film. All others deliver clean and decent performance. ! Film : Quirky and hilarious with a good message. Every bit of the movie is enjoyable and the narration style is top-notch.First half is built up brilliantly and Second half with no dialogues(90%) moves quick and creates a feel good atmosphere. Music : Sean Roldan has backed up the script beautifully ! (Esp in second half) Cinematography deserves a special appreciation ! It made the film colorful and cool ! Cons : Could have been more crisp and could have avoided the songs(2)Overall : A super-cool and breezy film to watch this summer !
