Only super stars can release their movies on a non holiday and break records

[Siv.S]

Unbelievable story narration, very intense tamil movie in a very very long time. Hats off to Actor Ajith , to pick this genre. GVM :clap: Superb Movie ! Having said that , I am not sure this movie is palatable for masses.
Another clear winner for 2015. Still shaking my head in disbelief so many nuance executed to perfection. Very sleek movie Just WOW!! School kids needs marks, not for grown up adult movie :) its 5/5 for me :lol:.

Sir Ajith is in completely in a different league all together :yessir:

One -ve HJ was either drunk or pissed off during RR ? felt like I was in some heavy metal concert utter nonsense.

#YennaiArindhaal has got an earth-shattering opening

He's right. Yesterday, I watched the movie in Zien and it was a houseful show. Normally, there would be only 2 shows for every Tamil movie (one on the day of release and one on Sunday). The show on the day of release wouldn't attract much crowd, but yesterday it was just the opposite. Even for the movie 'I', there were only 50+ people. But for YA, all 170 seats got filled.

guys has the scene from the promo2 been chopped in india as well?

[rachel]

i 'll be watching YA tomorrow...excited

[mappi]

One -ve HJ was either drunk or pissed off during RR ? felt like I was in some heavy metal concert utter nonsense.

Dil ji,

I found the BGM quite impressive. And, yes, its not your normal stuff, but definitely puts you inside. Add in all the 'shake' in the camera like Monsieur Coutard style, the music does not create anything, but is the ticket to experience the proceeding live. His exessive use of Techno Industrial sounds were catchy mainly during ACT3 where Satya climbs the hospital building. The shoot outs, esp. the first one in the industrial gowdown synced very well. HR also has brought in some Dubstep guitars and at times he rams it, that stimulates the adrenalin. I also found that he gives a variety of sound according to the change in atmosphere and I felt it aided the character development. For eg : In the middle of Act2 (interval block), he plays it soft. Suituation - A trapped animal, fighting not with its trapper but within itself from not changing itself from an animal to a beast. That scene was a class in every way you look at it. HR played it in a melody that given enough space for the audience to feel whats really happening before them. Like wise there are few other top and note worthy scenes in the movie.

Sincerely, for the moment, I did not capture much and I know there is much more inside. Ajith fans were changing the hall into something else, and the above is just what I could make out. I am going to watch the film again tomorrow evening for GVM & HR alone.

And another reason I favour the BGM is because of "some heavy metal concert" (eventhough it was not that heavy). A Metal concert for 15 euros, I am in and I will be there for the noise that I always enjoyed (LoL).

BO OFFICE REPORTS - YENNAI ARINDHAAL 1ST DAY WORLD BOX OFFICE COLLECTION

Ajith Kumar’s Yennai Arindhaal opened up grander than the reported screens. Initially, it was mentioned that it will have a TN release in just 500 screens, but gradually struck the 582 mark on the spur of moment. This is an authentic report from one of the leading film traders of the globe and the first day collection of this film is as follows.

TN - 12.80 CRORES – 582 SCREENS

KERALA – 3.75CRS 110 SCREENS

KARNATAKA – 2.54 CR 80SCREENS

REST OF INDIA – 1.36CRORES 50 SCREENS

OVERSEAS - 9.75CRORES 450 SCREENS

TOTAL – 30.20 CRORES APPROXIMATELY


It is worth mentioning that Ajith Kumar films usually are bound to action and violence that many female audiences wouldn’t prefer to watch. But with Gautham Vasudev Menon adding more romance, emotions and family elements to this film, it has drawn family audiences into the theatres. With the shows house packed for the entire weekend, we can expect Yennai Arindhaal to scale the great heights in box office. For now, it becomes the second biggest opener in the recent times with Lingaa collecting 37Crores and Vikram’s I with 27Crores and Kaththi – 23 Crores approximately on the first day worldwide.

THALA....:bow: take a BIG BOW.....THALA POLA VARUMAA......only possible by Thala.....Thala totally in a different league...

Has the Film got English Subtitles ?

[thala]

yes the thuppakile thotta illa scene i mean..and ya as well as "enna ready a"...those scenes were expected from most as they were shown in the promos...but didnt survice editor anthonys office i guess. Also gautham menon said vivek's scenes had to taken out. So some vivek one liners, the promo fight and may be some anoushka scenes were chopped i guess.

The English Subtitles is a BOON as well as a BANE. :(

the subtitles is distracting enough...

[Dinesh84]

Is it a mandate that all tamil films should include subtitles in Malaysia?

[PARAMASHIVAN]

I do think having subtitles would boost the income for the films, here in London, I have seen many Anglo Saxons, and our long lost Persian cousins watching Tamil movies, I have seen a considerable amount of non Indians ( quite shockingly) watching Tamil movies like Endhiran, Vishvaroopam, Lingaa and I. While it can be annoying for Tamilians , it is a good move for people with sight issues and non Tamilians !

Yennai Arindhaal watch count - 2 on First Day Feb 5th. :)

A visibly super-thrilled Shalini Ajith

Yesterday with the release of Yennai Arindhaal, not just fans but even celebrities made it a point to see the earliest show of the movie to not miss out on the first day first show (FDFS) experience. While Simbu, Anirudh and Atlee saw the movie in Vetri theater in the outskirts of Chennai, Ajith's better half Shalini saw the film at Albert theater in Egmore, Chennai.

Albert is the place where Shalini always checks out the FDFS of her hubby's films and she was also accompanied by her brother Richard. At the end of the film, Shalini was visibly thrilled with the film's output and looked very pleased.

It must be noted that Shalini and Ajith are expecting the birth of their second child.

'Yennai Arindhaal' takes a solid opening

Ajith's Gautham Menon directed Yennai Arindhaal has taken a very good opening worldwide. In US it has taken best ever opening for a Ajith film and in TN and Kerala also it has done well.

In Tamil Nadu the film has netted approximately Rs 8.35 Crore on day one (Feb 5) , which is good for a big film on a working day. If the film had released on a holiday and if it was tax free, collections would have been more impressive.

Tamil films seems to be doing well in Kerala. Yennai Arindhaal has grossed nearly Rs 1.65 Crore, a net of approximately Rs 1.30 Crores and a share of Rs 75 lakhs.

In US the distributors Atmus has said best ever Ajith's day one opening. It opened in 75 screens with a record opening of $113,232.

http://www.sify.com/movies/yennai-arindhaal-takes-a-solid-opening-news-tamil-pcgsJzfiahchd.html

8.35 crores net, i.e ~ 12 crore gross on a working day is way more than i expected. I was expecting around 10 Cr. With the good WOM it would be great, if the movie manage to gross an average of 7-8 Cr till Sunday.

Who is Victor ?

The fear is in the existence of evil and terror is through its presence. Victor lives, which is much more scary.

Victor is a "Clockworker". He changes over time. He is an evil that adapts within, where ever this within is. Plus he provides "bad time" to anyone coming his way. Satya inflitrates Victor's life. Evil is more than happy to see its own shadow. But when deception, the root of the evil is plucked, Victor goes into hiding, as a clockwork, he knows patience will lead him to Satya, as evil feeds on time, bad time.

Who is Satya ?

When violence appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent - Mahatma Gandhi

Satya is at the good side of the evil. He once says to Victor "If you understood everything I said, you’d be me". Satya kills. He eradicates the present danger, and as a side effect acculmates violence inside him which is waiting to take over him. Baltasar Gracian stated "Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it." That's exactly what Satya does, a small opening, Victor inflitrates into his life, his turn to take down Satya. Satya becomes a shadow, where Victor becomes his form.

Who are they ?

Victor shouldn't have done years before what Satya just did a moment ago

The revenge play between Victor & Satya, upon each other, is just the skin. Whats inside is their collective ourbrust. Satya takes this side : If you try to cure evil with evil, you will add more pain to your fate (Sophocles), and allows the fate to determine his actions. Being on the other side Victor chooses "Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before (Mae West)" and unleashes his timely powers. Now they both are standing on the line that is seperating them. The light inside Satya provokes the lightening around them and the evil in Victor shuts it down with darkness. The resonating thunder is the reflection of the vengence in their heart.

One will fall today at a theatre near you - Yennai Arindhaal.

Ajith's 'Yennai Arindhaal' collects Rs.20.83 crore

(http://www.chennaivision.com/news/2015/153896.php)


Chennai, Feb 7 (IANS) Actor Ajith Kumar's Tamil action-thriller "Yennai Arindhaal", despite hitting the screens on a weekday, managed to gross Rs.20.83 crore within the first two days of release in Tamil Nadu.

The movie hit the screens Thursday.

"It's very unlikely for a star's film to release on a Thursday and expect to rake in the moolah, but 'Yennai Arindhaal' has achieved that. On release day, it collected a gross of about Rs.11.5 crore and went on to mint a total of Rs. 20.83 crore in the first two days," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.

Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film also features Trisha Krishnan and Anushka Shetty in the lead roles.

Despite mixed reviews, the film has fared well at the box office, added Trinath.

"Audiences have been complaining that the film is extremely slow and has traces of Gautham's earlier films, but that hasn't stopped it from doing well at the ticket window," he said.

In the film, Ajith plays a police officer, who is torn apart between his job and family.

Meanwhile, "Yennai Arindhaal" made Ajith's wife and former actress Shalini extremely proud.

"She watched the first show of the film on release day with audiences. Shalini was really proud of her husband's work and said it's his best film in years," a source close to Ajith told IANS.

‘Yennai Arindhaal': Human drama beneath policeman’s story

Rating : 3.5/5

The real heroes of ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, the third film in Gautham’s police franchise after ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ and ‘Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu’, are the heroines Trisha and Anushka, for whom the film’s best moments have been written.

If you’ve followed Gautham’s films, the kind of roles he writes for his heroines and the way he portrays them are commendable even if they were to feature briefly, and you wonder if any other filmmaker can supersede him in this regard. Most of the film’s story revolves around or should I say is linked to Hemalika and Thenmozhi, played by Trisha and Anushka respectively. Ajith, who plays police officer Sathyadev, puts his life on the line to protect them and not just because its his job.

‘Yennai Arindhaal’ is the evolved story of police officer Sathyadev, who strives hard to strike a balance as a family man as well. Everything about the film and its protagonist Sathyadev is evolved to the extent that he’s ready to accept a woman with a child in his life.

In one of the film’s best stretches he proposes to Hemalika, and as he waits for her reply, he goes on to talk about things they plan to do as a couple — like how they plan to send her daughter to the best school, buy a piece of land and settle down as a family.

He prefixes the word ‘they’ in these sentences to symbolically highlight she’s already been accepted in his life and he’s ready to do everything together. In an earlier scene, he drives her to the hospital when she’s in labour, not as a policeman, but while working incognito as an auto-rickshaw driver to nab a local rowdy.

When they reach the hospital, she pays him (a man’s got to earn, you see). And when they meet in court a few years later, she thanks him and says her daughter Isha came into this world because of him.

The icing on this relationship is the fact there’s no mention about Hemalika’s first husband (Isha’s father), and it really doesn’t bother Sathyadev. Gautham asks us, the audience, how many would be willing to accept a woman with a child without even inquiring about her past. There’s an indication that Sathyadev might have learnt about Hemalika’s past when he says how much he’s impressed with her decision to teach dance (she’s a dancer) free of cost. As a policeman it runs in his blood to do a background check on everybody he meets.

In the initial moments between Sathyadev and Thenmozhi, there’s a lot of talking, although they’re strangers who’ve just met on a plane. When she feels nauseated, he, a stranger, puts his hand on her shoulder to ask if she’s alright. For a change, he doesn’t stalk her; it’s the other way around.
There’s even a moment when it almost looks like he’s going to say I’ve fallen in love at first sight but Gautham avoids these cliches.

In this story, the women also become the weakness of the heroes, for Ajith and Arun Vijay, who plays the antagonist Victor. There are two scenes where both Sathyadev and Victor end up doing something because of the weakness for the woman in their lives. And it costs them heavily in their careers.

Talking about human drama, there’s a lot of focus on friendship and betrayal. Sathyadev is a man with an itch, as he describes himself, for inviting trouble. Gautham uses a thin line to separate the police officer Sathyadev from the gangster Victor. And the same line resurfaces in a scene towards the end when both are talking on cell phones and the screen splits into two halves separated by a thin black line.

The problem with ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, and of course with its creator Gautham, is the filmmaker’s growing obsession with some of his familiar tropes – the hot-headed and loud villain Victor (Arun is terrific in the role), who reminds you of Pandian from “Kaakha Kaakha”, the perennial danger the protagonist’s family gets into, the weakness for women, the role of a father, the songs that stop and break into conversations and again continue playing, the narratives that lose steam in the end and finally the length.

There’s a wonderful father-daughter relationship. At one point, the film does feel like a story of a police officer who wants to give his daughter a life his father couldn’t. There’s also a brief flashback scene with Sathyadev and his father, played by Nasser, and it only reminds us how much Sathya misses his father when he tries to be dotingly good to his daughter.

Despite some tonal and length issues, Gautham impresses mostly in ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, and gives this tale of a police officer a much need emotional tug. Ajith’s screen presence is unbelievably amazing and it takes guts for a star with a crazy fan following to do something so bold. It’s refreshing to see the actor in Ajith overshadowing the star and going on to prove who is much better.

YENNAI ARINDHAAL SHOWS INCREASED

The year’s most happening surprise comes with Ajith Kumar’s Yennai Arindhaal. Usually, when a big ticket has its release, it would be offered enormous screens on the first two days and gradually be reduced considerably.

But Ajith Kumar’s Yennai Arindhaal is generating the huge sensation as the theatre owners are so much exhilarated about the response and are increasing the shows as well. It is merely because Ajith Kumar films usually have more significance for action and thrill elements and there has been no importance for romance.

In contrast, Gautham Vasudev Menon has added the best touch of poignant romance in a decent manner, which is drawing more family audiences to theatres. The episodes involving Ajith Kumar and Trisha have been beautifully carved, which has been garnering wonderful response from female audiences.

Ajith's 'Yennai Arindhaal' collects Rs 20.83 crore

Actor Ajith Kumar's Tamil action-thriller 'Yennai Arindhaal', despite hitting the screens on a weekday, managed to gross Rs.20.83 crore within the first two days of release in Tamil Nadu.

The movie hit the screens Thursday.

"It's very unlikely for a star's film to release on a Thursday and expect to rake in the moolah, but 'Yennai Arindhaal' has achieved that. On release day, it collected a gross of about Rs.11.5 crore and went on to mint a total of Rs. 20.83 crore in the first two days," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.

Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film also features Trisha Krishnan and Anushka Shetty in the lead roles.

Despite mixed reviews, the film has fared well at the box office, added Trinath.
"Audiences have been complaining that the film is extremely slow and has traces of Gautham's earlier films, but that hasn't stopped it from doing well at the ticket window," he said.

In the film, Ajith plays a police officer, who is torn apart between his job and family.

Meanwhile, 'Yennai Arindhaal' made Ajith's wife and former actress Shalini extremely proud.

"She watched the first show of the film on release day with audiences. Shalini was really proud of her husband's work and said it's his best film in years," a source close to Ajith told IANS.

yes..this was very typical....and the way Ajith delivers it....

there are lots and lots of best scenes/moments from the movie...but to me the top scene/moment is when Eesha comes and gives the cop boot to Sathyadev....when he is totally confused what to do....that scene gives confidence in Sathyadev to put on the boots and go after Nilanjana's kidnappers and to rescue her....a very good one from GVM...

This kid will go places. One hell of an actress in the making.

‘Yennai Arindhaal': Human drama beneath policeman’s story

Rating : 3.5/5

The real heroes of ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, the third film in Gautham’s police franchise after ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ and ‘Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu’, are the heroines Trisha and Anushka, for whom the film’s best moments have been written.

If you’ve followed Gautham’s films, the kind of roles he writes for his heroines and the way he portrays them are commendable even if they were to feature briefly, and you wonder if any other filmmaker can supersede him in this regard. Most of the film’s story revolves around or should I say is linked to Hemalika and Thenmozhi, played by Trisha and Anushka respectively. Ajith, who plays police officer Sathyadev, puts his life on the line to protect them and not just because its his job.

‘Yennai Arindhaal’ is the evolved story of police officer Sathyadev, who strives hard to strike a balance as a family man as well. Everything about the film and its protagonist Sathyadev is evolved to the extent that he’s ready to accept a woman with a child in his life.

In one of the film’s best stretches he proposes to Hemalika, and as he waits for her reply, he goes on to talk about things they plan to do as a couple — like how they plan to send her daughter to the best school, buy a piece of land and settle down as a family.

He prefixes the word ‘they’ in these sentences to symbolically highlight she’s already been accepted in his life and he’s ready to do everything together. In an earlier scene, he drives her to the hospital when she’s in labour, not as a policeman, but while working incognito as an auto-rickshaw driver to nab a local rowdy.

When they reach the hospital, she pays him (a man’s got to earn, you see). And when they meet in court a few years later, she thanks him and says her daughter Isha came into this world because of him.

The icing on this relationship is the fact there’s no mention about Hemalika’s first husband (Isha’s father), and it really doesn’t bother Sathyadev. Gautham asks us, the audience, how many would be willing to accept a woman with a child without even inquiring about her past. There’s an indication that Sathyadev might have learnt about Hemalika’s past when he says how much he’s impressed with her decision to teach dance (she’s a dancer) free of cost. As a policeman it runs in his blood to do a background check on everybody he meets.

In the initial moments between Sathyadev and Thenmozhi, there’s a lot of talking, although they’re strangers who’ve just met on a plane. When she feels nauseated, he, a stranger, puts his hand on her shoulder to ask if she’s alright. For a change, he doesn’t stalk her; it’s the other way around.
There’s even a moment when it almost looks like he’s going to say I’ve fallen in love at first sight but Gautham avoids these cliches.

In this story, the women also become the weakness of the heroes, for Ajith and Arun Vijay, who plays the antagonist Victor. There are two scenes where both Sathyadev and Victor end up doing something because of the weakness for the woman in their lives. And it costs them heavily in their careers.

Talking about human drama, there’s a lot of focus on friendship and betrayal. Sathyadev is a man with an itch, as he describes himself, for inviting trouble. Gautham uses a thin line to separate the police officer Sathyadev from the gangster Victor. And the same line resurfaces in a scene towards the end when both are talking on cell phones and the screen splits into two halves separated by a thin black line.

The problem with ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, and of course with its creator Gautham, is the filmmaker’s growing obsession with some of his familiar tropes – the hot-headed and loud villain Victor (Arun is terrific in the role), who reminds you of Pandian from “Kaakha Kaakha”, the perennial danger the protagonist’s family gets into, the weakness for women, the role of a father, the songs that stop and break into conversations and again continue playing, the narratives that lose steam in the end and finally the length.

There’s a wonderful father-daughter relationship. At one point, the film does feel like a story of a police officer who wants to give his daughter a life his father couldn’t. There’s also a brief flashback scene with Sathyadev and his father, played by Nasser, and it only reminds us how much Sathya misses his father when he tries to be dotingly good to his daughter.

Despite some tonal and length issues, Gautham impresses mostly in ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, and gives this tale of a police officer a much need emotional tug. Ajith’s screen presence is unbelievably amazing and it takes guts for a star with a crazy fan following to do something so bold. It’s refreshing to see the actor in Ajith overshadowing the star and going on to prove who is much better.

:clap: :clap: :clap: Bang on !!

Newfound respect for Ajith for turning into a director's actor & discarding star image. Except length, loved quite a bit of #YennaiArindhal.

Going for the 2nd time today @ 9:30///Will go home to cbe next week and will watch again...

[Siv.S]

Done for 3 times, the last watched in Audi 1 in oscar cinema, Abu dhabi.. the biggest screen there, one show allotted for YA, it was fully sold out and mostly family audience.

This time was able to listen the dialogues clearly, i guess the missed sequence comes when victor talks to kandha about sathya in first frame, the BGM was done like that it leads to the flash back scene, GVM should have kept some scenes which were shot when sathya was with gangsters, badly missing it.

the BGM when victor met lisa and Sathya drifts the car 360 deg, very enjoyable bit :clap:

next to Ashish v the venugopal scene is my fav. one, sir thaan venugopal illainnu solttarla :lol:

Fans of actor Ajith Kumar celebrating the realease of Yennai Arindhaal

'Watching Yennai Arindhaal at dawn on release day wasn’t just a movie-going experience'
It’s Thursday, February 5, and my alarm rings at 3 a.m. It’s Yennai Arindhaaltime! I spring out of bed. Shortly, a few of my friends, one of who has managed tickets for a 4.30 a.m. show (I kid you not), find ourselves on our bikes heading towards Porur on empty roads, which for some strange reason remind me of the film Zombieland. Thanks to Google Maps, we find our way to a theatre named Gopalakrishnan, one I’ve never heard of in my three decades in the city. I expect to see a handful of droopy, sleep-deprived people lumbering in. The sun, after all, hasn’t even risen yet.
What I see though… a sea of people flooding into the obscure theatre with chants of ‘Thala’ ringing in the air. Bikes jostle for space, some fans seem drunk on alcohol, but most on the prospect of being among the first to watch the Ajith-Gautham Menon film.
We finally take our seats. I am surprised they are even numbered. The chairs are creaky, the cushions threadbare. More people pour in, and a random guy in the audience asks them to sit on the floor, yelling “Seat-laam kadaikaadhu!” Most people are dressed in lungis and shorts. Not the fancy shorts seen at posh theatres, but the multi-coloured ones you find on Parry's pavements.
But the noise, oh, the noise! Groups of men (of course, no women) whistle and hoot. When the ads start playing, the cheering makes you wonder if Ajith has walked in. A deafening roar erupts when the Censor certificate comes up — U, U/A, A… who cares?
Then the words Ajith Kumar appear on screen and as Sathyadev (Ajith’s character in the film) says later in the film, “All hell breaks loose”. Many people stand up on the seats, unable to control their excitement. Some like yours truly stand up on the seat too, to peer over the other heads. A few run towards the screen. In seconds, they are atop the stage up front and dancing, shirts in hand.
I’m not even looking at the screen now, only at the revellers. Some stop dancing, get phones out and begin taking selfies. I dimly realise that I can barely hear any music at all. Harris Jayaraj may as well not have bothered. The madness continues till the opening credits stop rolling.
But you know it’s a temporary lull. An Ajith intro scene is in the offing. Gautham Menon has his finger on their pulse — he teases them with a couple of scenes where only the actor’s eyes are visible. That primes them. Then, Ajith’s full face comes into view. If I thought I had heard the height of the noise, I was wrong. The din those 100-odd people raised — you had to pinch yourself to believe it was 4.35 a.m. on a weekday at an anonymous theatre.
Then, I see, in slow-motion, a sizzling cracker launched into the air. Breaths held. Thankfully, it falls at an empty spot up front and explodes, silencing the audience for barely a second, before the roar continues. In the commotion, a part of the screen is damaged. Two policemen finally walk in (did the explosion wake them up?) and try to identify the culprits. Ha, good luck!
The film is running, but nobody seems to care. It’s the opening show of an Ajith film, and everything else, even the film itself, is secondary. Having heard no dialogue for the first 15 minutes (the dreadful speakers are also to blame), I realise I’ll have to watch it again to review it.
It doesn’t matter. I couldn’t have stood on the seat at Sathyam.

The story behind the circumstances in which YA was made by GVM - written by Sudhish Kamath. Interesting read.

[srimal]

watched it at Mayajaal - no tickets at spicinemas :(.... I'll try again next week...

coming to the movie - I felt it was awesome... from the censor certificate to we can skip the coffee - I was hooked :)

I loved the various avtars of Thala... be it the son(talking to Naser), father, lover, cop,etc... he has nailed every emotion... Trisha kitta pesarappo kannil oru vetkam... I now realise what was missing in GVM's previous efforts !!!

enna oru screenplay, subtle emotions, dialogs... loved watching Ajith-Trisha romance... no words... and the kutti girl was too good

I hope Arun Vijay will get good roles after this, he's always had good movies, but somehow never made it big.. !

And the music.. I felt every song, every tune, every lyric was apt.... first half may seem a bit slow, but it was full of undercurrents and emotions.. so I loved it as much as the second half..

Marupadiyum pakkanum... hopefully in spicinemas.. :)

Watched it. Instant like and it will shatter thala's earlier movie records.This is seriously the best to come from Ajith. detailed review later

[leosimha]

Another top moment from YA movie...

Sathyadev comes in as Auto Driver (reminding Kadhal Kottai) to nab the criminal.....another auto driver asking Sathyadev who is he to cross and be at the auto stand and the moment when he gives a damn look at the auto driver....the auto driver goes stubborn and salutes when Sathyadev stops him....brilliant nuances.....is GVM setting a benchmark in this movie? oh boy ho

[ArulprakasH]

Done with the second time. This time in Forum Value Mall Inox. 6:45 show full house with full of family audiences. Lot of kids were there too. One kid was even saying Bye Ajith when leaving the hall. :D

This time during the climax fight I too felt BGM was too loud. But in other places the same was adrenaline pumping like someone mentioned earlier.

I think, I wont get bored watching this movie few more times. Cant believe that one man played the role of contrasting cops as Vinayak Mahadev and Sathyadev... :notworthy:

While typing the above line it flashed in my mind what if Sathyadev chases Vinayak Mahadev? Wouldnt be interesting?

What I miss there is, everybody in the city (including the auto driver) knows he is a cop. And when he goes as under-cover, no villain knows who he is. Even, once Trisha mentions that she watched him on the TV. And I think nobody in the villain group watches TV.

[paranitharan]

going to watch it in 3 hours. Very excited. Waited a long time to take my sisters to a tamil movie.

[paranitharan]

@ShridharR: Saw YA with public. Damn proud. HUGE Ajith fan. All my life I whistled & clapped. Today I was moved. Nobody does it better. Thx Gautham :)

[bimmer]

Watched it, awesome movie

+ ves
Ajith
Arun Vijay
Trisha, anoushka and the kutty papa and Vivek
2nd half especially the last 40 minutes
Songs and cinematography
Screenplay and GM way of narration. The cops were like cops and senior officials were like senior officials.

Negatives
First half seemed to be a little tad long, but not boring
Nasser and Ajith's relationship could have been established stronger

Overall one of the best Ajith movies in recent outings. Hope Ajith selects these types of scripts in future

The answer lies in the timeline of Satya's life otherwise put in Satya's Carrier.

When Satya's dad embraces the fate of Uncle Ben, Satya becomes an IPS as during that time of his father's murder Alex Pandiyan was playing on the TV and thankfully not Spiderman. From here, we are introduced to a dynamic Satya who could be in his late 20's. He is a Ghost, as his own colleagues aka other officials (except GVM ofcoarse - fantastic touch this is) do not know him (ref. 1st time you see Satya in uniform, unshaven). Father Mathew gang may not be his first mission, but certainly its not the last one. At this point in his carrier he is a nobody operating as an annonymous (ref. 1. Scene in the hotel Cabin room where Victor vouches for satya. Ref 2 Father Mathew is careful that he asks Satya to stay with the car). Why only this back story alone is to show us who is Victor.

Then, he is presented as a Police Officier, but he still continues going undercover, but his cover gets blown (narration in the parking garage inbetween the song sequence). This song / its lyrics are a part of the 2 Satya's you see - bearded one and the DCP. So now he is getting famous in the underworld, plus corruption is speaking volumes, he becomes a secret crime branch which handles executions. Its not yet the world know him (ref. scooter chat with his neighbour).

Now is the important part of the time line - He meets Hemanika. He is in charge of reporting, obviously seen thru the media (ref. Hemanika at the court house says she saw him on TV the next day). His task on hand now is not to inflitrate but to take down. In this suituation he is a backup (ref. the phone conversation with his team). So to mingle with the crowd he dresses up as a Auto Driver. The other Auto Driver does not recognise him, but even before his memory re-initialises, Satya's look pulls the strings of his hand to salute.

The 2nd meeting with Hemanika happens after 2 years from their 1st meeting (clue: it was quite obvious). In this spawn of 2 years, Satya has risen to a status that he is no more undercover or executioner but the brains and hands behind operations that he gets visitors to his house (read Golden Raj), plus he has his shining name on a board hung by his door - END of Satya's Curiculum Vitae with a note he is uncorruptable (ref. Nasser at his doorstep).

The time line is tracked thru the various facial hair Satya ports - unshaven, thick mustach, trimmed mustach ... you could not have missed the others. Enormous work has been done to perfect the time line through his looks. From Ajith part he does it with his voice.

So how is the title concerned in this short episode - Yennai Arindhal to the villans moment + the realisation of Satya - Power & Strenght he has - he simply is the Ruler now, that even a threat to his empire is the dust in the wind. He realises many other 'self' during the coarse of the movie, which I may cover later.

Hats off to the whole team. A job well executed.

Could anyone point out who is who from this picture please. I would like to put a name to the face I am seeing. Thanks.

the venugopal scene is my fav. one, sir thaan venugopal illainnu solttarla

LoL - awesome scene it was.

That guy in red t-shirt was funny - Yennada openinge seri illa, then he leaves saying 'antha allu vera bag-a mattikittu nikiran' ... LoL

This is another amazing scene where GVM visually potrays the 'Line' Factor. Satya shows his 'nallavan' part and deceides just to talk, thus the other half of his face is dark. Dan ji, hats off.

[mappi]

I thought for Sathaydev and Daughter's journey this song from ARR would have been opt one!

Why not ? The best part is where the affection reflects beyond the screen and hits you in an emotional 3D effect, when he sees the 'mothers day' card. The bonding works big time.

same to same feeling ya ! A man who lost everything looks for an inspiration from his past to take this new found relationship forward, brilliant narration GVM saab :notworthy:

[Dilbert]

The answer lies in the timeline of Satya's life otherwise put in Satya's Carrier.

When Satya's dad embraces the fate of Uncle Ben, Satya becomes an IPS as during that time of his father's murder Alex Pandiyan was playing on the TV and thankfully not Spiderman. From here, we are introduced to a dynamic Satya who could be in his late 20's. He is a Ghost, as his own colleagues aka other officials (except GVM ofcoarse - fantastic touch this is) do not know him (ref. 1st time you see Satya in uniform, unshaven). Father Mathew gang may not be his first mission, but certainly its not the last one. At this point in his carrier he is a nobody operating as an annonymous (ref. 1. Scene in the hotel Cabin room where Victor vouches for satya. Ref 2 Father Mathew is careful that he asks Satya to stay with the car). Why only this back story alone is to show us who is Victor.

Then, he is presented as a Police Officier, but he still continues going undercover, but his cover gets blown (narration in the parking garage inbetween the song sequence). This song / its lyrics are a part of the 2 Satya's you see - bearded one and the DCP. So now he is getting famous in the underworld, plus corruption is speaking volumes, he becomes a secret crime branch which handles executions. Its not yet the world know him (ref. scooter chat with his neighbour).

Now is the important part of the time line - He meets Hemanika. He is in charge of reporting, obviously seen thru the media (ref. Hemanika at the court house says she saw him on TV the next day). His task on hand now is not to inflitrate but to take down. In this suituation he is a backup (ref. the phone conversation with his team). So to mingle with the crowd he dresses up as a Auto Driver. The other Auto Driver does not recognise him, but even before his memory re-initialises, Satya's look pulls the strings of his hand to salute.

The 2nd meeting with Hemanika happens after 2 years from their 1st meeting (clue: it was quite obvious).

Mappi, nice explanation. Now I know what I really missed. The timeline.

[balakumar86]

Yes, spoon feeding helps kids' growth. And insults like this hinder growth. I'd be better off without such insults. Actually that was a genuine question I had.

[leosimha]

What I miss there is, everybody in the city (including the auto driver) knows he is a cop. And when he goes as under-cover, no villain knows who he is. Even, once Trisha mentions that she watched him on the TV. And I think nobody in the villain group watches TV.

generally top cops don't come in media too often...except for IG or DGP...but here Sathyadev is a DCP and that too he is not encounter specialist...not shown like that...also Trisha comes to know about only next day when she sees the TV....since the operation was carried out by DCP Sathyadev...

actually if you watch....even the auto driver didn't know who Sathyadev was....but Sathyadev's action and command in his speech made the auto driver realise that Sathyadev has come as an auto driver for an operation....and he starts saluting when Sathyadev stop him...brilliant scene...

[leosimha]

LoL - awesome scene it was.

That guy in red t-shirt was funny - Yennada openinge seri illa, then he leaves saying 'antha allu vera bag-a mattikittu nikiran' ... LoL

This is another amazing scene where GVM visually potrays the 'Line' Factor. Satya shows his 'nallavan' part and deceides just to talk, thus the other half of his face is dark. Dan ji, hats off.

it actually provided a lighter moment during that time because the audience would be thinking what would be the next step of Victor and the counters from Sathyadev....but when the black scorpio comes and the sentry asks Sathyadev to be alert...all the audience would have been at the edge of the seat expecting an action sequence immediately but GVM chose to keep the moment lighter...another brilliant one...

[leosimha]

Watched it again second time...didn't feel the first half lengthy and felt the movie was awesome(thanks to theatre effect)..

Night show was fully filled with youths.. surprisingly chairs had to be put to accommodate the overwhelming crowd..

Amazing theatre response ..I felt like watching fdfs again..

yes...you don't feel the first half lengthy after subsequent watches...actually the length or the screenplay justifies to buildup the character of Ajith and Trisha and portray their relationship to the next level...very well done by GVM....and he hasn't overdone and left the audience to imagination....

as per the movie...Sathayadev sees Hemanika (at this point he doesn't even know who she is and her name) after two years with the child Eesha at the court (family court, this one I don't understand, can criminal court and family court be at one place...am confused)...and when Sathyadev drives over the Adyar bridge and see the hoarding Maya Bazaar he comes to know about Hemanika and then starts to develop a relationship with her...they show that they are in a relationship for 3-4 years until Eesha is about 5-6 years and then Sathyadev proposes...the ensuing scenes when Sathyadev proposes to Hemanika has been done beautifully and very maturedly without any vulagarity....good one...

It is not the problem of the DIRECTORS :)...actually it is the problem of AJITH....

Ajith has created such a image that many directors see him in various aspects...

Ajith is one handsome actor who can do romance maturedly...

Ajith is one actor who can do stunts, actions...

Ajith has that MASS appeal who can do MASS masala type of roles...

Ajith is one emotional actor who can do roles like Mugavari, Poovellam Un Vaasam, Kireedom types of roles...he can go for improvisation on these roles each and every time...Yennai Arindhaal is one improvisation...

Ajith is one actor who can do Negative characters...

Ajith is one actor who can do Gangster roles....


actually GVM wanted to mash-up various acts of Ajith in YA thinking he won't get another chance to direct Ajith :) :lol:

" A NEW PROFOUND LOVE FOR AJITH AND GAUTHAM MENON ... "


By Anita @AnitaRaghuraman


How can a classy cop go down to the road and dance for a peppy number? How can an elegant gentleman use profanity with such style and ease? How can a dancer look so beautiful in a simple saree with a big round bindhi? Yes, it can happen in Gautham Menon's Yennai Arindhaal. While all my colleagues went ga-ga about using a ‘mass’ hero in Gautham Menon’s film and how they were waiting for its release, I kept calm and waited for the storm. It was a direct hit; right on my face. I sat in the theater amidst all the howls and screams stunned, for giving us Ajith as Sathyadev who you would fall in love with. Not a single movement, I consumed the film frame by frame without a blink. I experienced a new profound love for Ajith and Gautham Menon. I have defragmented the film to my understanding.

Ajith vs Sathyadev

With a bucket of ‘mass’ films like Kaththi, Lingaa, ‘I’ and now Yennai Arindhaal, most people watched them for its star value. To me Yennai Arindhaal was all about Sathyadev and not Ajith. Gautham Menon has taken out the mass factor in Ajith and gave him the Sathyadev mask. And without a doubt Ajith was the perfect fit. Well, this is how a film should be taken. A director should want to fit in a hero/actor in the lead role in his script rather than write a script for the hero/mass factor. Only Ajith could do the perfect Sathyadev. Be it using abusive words (though it was muted, lip movement says it all) or wearing those classy white shirts on khaki pants or confessing his love or enacting a caring father or dancing for a ‘kuthu’ song, such multifaceted elegance and effortless performance can’t be found in any other actor. Sathyadev definitely marks a new Ajith to all his fans.

GVM’s touch

When it is a love story there is a trademark that GVM makes the best use of. Although Yennai Arindhaal consisted almost a mix of Kaakka Kaakka and Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu and the story was very predictable from the beginning, those sparkling moments of action sequences, the much-needed and well-fitted song breaks and all his characters make the film a definite watch (more than once). The story displays human emotions more prominently than just a tough cop fighting to save the world. Here Sathyadev is a poised gentleman and a classy cop who falls in love just like any other person from an upper middle class segment.

Portrayal of women in GVM’s films is something that I always look for. Though Trisha comes in just for a few minutes in the film, she depicts an independent and a single mother whose other half is her daughter. Beauty in the eyes of God, purity in her nature and serenity in her looks, Trisha steals the first half of the movie as she took Hemanika to the heights of Jessie from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya. Anushka Shetty plays another independent single woman who falls in love with Sathyadev at first sight! Can it still happen? ( the love at first sight). In GVM’s film, it can, in the most convincing way.

The most sought after villain

A lost talent redeemed himself and regained some momentum with his performance here. This was Victor played by Arun Vijay at par excellence. One thing about Victor in Yennai Arindhaal is that, he looks as classy, angry and fierce as Sathyadev. His high energy performance in the last 30 minutes stole the show and that intensity was needed. The phone sequence for 5 minutes where Sathyadev and Victor talk (in split screen), showcases his unknown performance facet in a brilliant way. Be it the stunt sequence or showcasing his love interest, Arun Vijay deserved the much-needed appreciation.

Expectations fulfilled?

I watched this film as a neutral audience. To me this film brings back the Ajith of yore from performance based movies like Vaali, Villain, and Citizen, he was a class apart to take a script like this after Arrambam and Veeram, and it is a daring move. In Harris’ music composition, the songs and BGM were very apt. The background score not once looked like it was propelled into the film, but it blended in the film with an urban and contemporary touch.

Though Yennai Arindhaal is a predictable feast for GVM’s crowd, watch it for the long lost Ajith who is there in every frame of the film but not once does he bore you. Watch it for the emotional connect with the silver screen that you have longed. Watch it for the union of brilliant performers, contemporary storytelling and newfangled love interests.

[uruzalari]

Saw GVM interview with Madhan in Pudhuyugam channel. He revealed that Victor as a teenager is also at the hotel where Sathya's father is killed. Seeing the fear the shooter (Daniel Balaji) instills in the hotel owner he decides to become a gangster. The same incident creates both Sathya and Victor. GVM said that this is revealed later in the film in the uncut international version. For those who saw the film outside India....are these scenes there? I guess not and might be added after a few days as GVM said in an earlier interview.

I watched in the Netherlands, and yeah those scenes were there, shown as inter-cut flashbacks. Very similar to the inter-cut flashbacks shown while Victor runs in slow-mo towards climax.

Thenmozhi

The whole beauty of the YA is how well the duality is considered as a driving force of human decision making. 'You become what you are provided you make up to it' - This realisation occurs to all the principle characters, except Satya, who gets into the multiple layers. Hemanika & Victor too face similar walls with a choice : either they can return or break the wall, meaning either to continue in harmony (Hemanika) or push forward what you have already made of yourself (Victor).

Thenmozhi is a sweet girl. She is at an age where an early sucess and beloved family gives her enough space to know what she desires - an handsome man. Her duality is when she finds that handsome man and how he becomes the man of her life. Its not entirely on that man, but through the search she does within herself.

Thenmozhi character is the muscle around the beating heart. Remove her, there will be a huge leak. She is introduced as a girl caught in the quick sand of our parent's culture. She is neat enough to say a NO without using the word NO. She likes to party. She likes to flirt. She meets Satya in the Flight and immediately an incident fills her with shame and the over shyness allows her to stamp Satya in her thoughts. Apart from his handsome looks, frankness, humour and gentle-man presentation, she gets hooked to him for the only reason - her dream unfolding before her (explained in the intro song). Maybe she was not much impressed with anyone else, or she hardly came across someone his caliber. Hesitant, she checks for Satya over the internet, satisfied, this time again on the steps like 'to-have-an-Police-Boyfriend-is-cool", she offers her love as a 'test-and-trail-run'. END of Thenmozhi-The Girl.

When Satya takes her home, she already got the needed image of Satya which is more than what she initially thought. Hesitant at the door, she actually falls for the maturity inside Aisha, crediting the upbringing. She then discovers the bonding between the little girl and Satya. She notes his hospitality. She admires his calmness. Through this calmness, her immense desire thats been hitting her heart like a rough ocean wave becomes a placid lake. Around her she sees many beautiful things, like the nature that occupies the scenary of a lake side. She is settled now and her heart which went disco previously chirps a melody that she lends her ears to. END - Brith of Woman in Thenmozhi.

And Anuska ... don't get me started. She is most gorgeous female lead ever walked on the corridors of TFI (ofcoarse the word 'most' comes with an additional label 'exceptions not included').

Request : Is it possible to get the still or poster of Ajith sitting on the sofa as a gaurdien angel wating for Victor. It was fantastic on screen. I remember seeing it as an affiche in one of the cinema halls posted here. Thanks.

Siva,

We can skip the coffee = Jalabula Junks.

The entire coffee shop sequence is to fold you into a lighter vien, which eventually heads to a big time entry for Victor. Here HJ drives the two "We meet Again" scenario excellently and distinctly. Arun Vijay gets a solid entry and cool lines which puts front an another dimension of Satya. Satya was at his preface dating, cool, playing it like a charm boy, and suddenly he jumps into action that not only the smashing glass panes answer but also his thundering cry of the battle - Speech ada kudukura U/A.

Now just imagine :

1/ Anuska walks in - Ajith Smiles - Masked men arrive - HJ rams his guitar.

2/ Anuska walks in - Satya invites her - Satya behaves himself - Anuska is shy but bold - HJ is flirting with his instrument - when suddenly masked men arrive - HJ picks up his guitar - Ajith gets up from his chair.

[Siv.S]

Jalabula junks :lol:

I would go with your 2 option, would have shifted the louus and all in the following scene in the car.

[mappi]

I would go with your 2 option

Thats what you actually see, with some toppings. The toppings will be for only that much time, the time taken to pull your fingers and meet your mouth to whistle.

I totally understand your point. Just giving you another way to experience the same. But if you still feel its was a bit over played, it must have been over played. Namba Swan mari irrukanum, Thani-a vittu, saraka mattum uriyanum ... LoL.

[ajaybaskar]

That coffee was an excuse to know each other. Over a period of time, both get to know each other well and hence coffee can be skipped is what Thenmozhi implies.

Yennai Arindhaal public expectations & opinion in London | athavannews.com:

http://youtu.be/Qf49xJ4sreU

Srilanka ladies sema hard core fan-aa Irukkainga :D Thala should consider doing a movie for Ayngaran or Ayngaran collobrated venture once in a 3 years, that's enough for them to take Thala's image to different level ;)

Each and every one addressing him as Thala :bow: nowadays the nearby states telugu, mallus even north Indians call him as a Thala, I don't think any Tamil actors being called by their title everywhere ;)

[ALWAR_AJITH]

Arul, more than anything this movie and Thala's performance will be remembered for long time....

[Prabo]

Watched it. Liked it. Will watch again.

In an old interview GVM mentioned, lots of auto drivers used to ask when he is going to direct Thala. So, that auto driver get up may not just be co- incidence.

YA in Movie City news:http://moviecitynews.com/2015/02/the-weekend-report-124/



The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge in the Water was the undisputed champion with a flushing estimated debut of $55.8 million. That left only disappointment for two other national newcomers. The futuristic Jupiter Ascending slotted third with $18.7 million while the supernatural power struggle Seventh Son bowed to $7.1 million.

In the niches new Indian imports ranged from a solid $413,000 debut for the Tamil Yennai Arindhaal to a flaccid $224,000 for the Hindi Shamitabh. In Quebec the French import Samba danced off to a nicely choreographed $93,200 and a solo bounce for Korea’s Gangnam Blues was an encouraging $14,800.

Best of the exclusive debs were the dance doc Ballet 422 with a two step of $31,200 and the American indie Old Fashioned downing $40,400 from a triple shot.

Weekend revenues ballooned to roughly $155 million for a 52% puff from seven days back. It was nonetheless a slight 1% dip from 2014 when the launch of The Lego Movie asssembled $69 million and bridesmaid The Monuments Men arrived with $22 million.

It’s been more than a decade since the venerable animated TV charmer SpongeBob Squarepants took to the big screen and tracking indicated a strong response for Sponge Out of Water. However estimates of $35 million or so seriously under appreciate his full appeal. The film had already got off to a good start last weekend with a $7.7 million gross in six foreign territories.

The character has been around long enough to instill adult interest and that provided much of the difference. It was also anticipated that the film would skew female but studio exit polls identified viewers as 53% female with 60% of the audience aged 25-years and younger. It also helped that early February has traditionally been a strong period for films with appeal to families and kids.

The session head scratcher was pitting two films with similar audience appeal against one another with the verdict that neither Jupiter Ascending nor Seventh Son would reach full commercial potential. The inside story added the fact that Seventh Son had been part of Relativity Media’s WB deal and was wrested away (with some difficulty) when the company migrated to Universal who slotted it in early February. Meanwhile one of Warners’ summer 2014 titles _ Jupiter Ascending _ missed crucial delivery deadlines and charitably opted not to go up against next weekend’s debut of 50 Shades of Grey.

Jupiter’s opening crowd was 57% male with 82% of ticket buyers aged 25-years and older while Seventh Son was 61% male and 68% aged 25-years and older.

With Oscar two weeks off one’s hard pressed to equate box office interest (or ancillary sales) to eventual winners. Nonetheless there are several handfuls of titles that have benefited from the awards spotlight and unquestionably a statuette is going to reap big rewards for several movies, particular those yet to substantially mine foreign soil.

I really had hard time explains my blood brothers who came to see this movie, it was not a rip off any hollywood or bollywood movies etc. They enjoyed movie with decent crowd , but one gentleman did however emphasized there is some Knight & Day inspired scenes. And I said Siv.S annea will be mad if I typed that here lets see;) . Never thought in 10 -15 years time Damil society will be so open ,when it comes to watching movies with Sanskrit equivalent pure dialogues with family :lol: great going ya.
