My review: Vaayai Moodi Pesavum
Certain movies are bound to create extreme of emotions because of the subject it has handled and the manner in which it has been presented. Balaji Mohan's "Vaayai Moodi Pesavum" is a typical example of such movie which will either receive full blown accolades or brickbats from the audience.
At the outset one must congratulate Balaji for taking up such a challenging subject which is writ with risks. The experimental tenor of the script which must have received lots of skepticism in the beginning has not deterred him from persisting with the idea and translating the same onscreen. Basic premise of how effectively one should use the speech and the silence in life is told in a light-hearted yet inventive manner.
Though there are instances which might test the patience of the viewers, such minor irritants are to be expected when one endeavor such a delicate path. There is a high chance of the movie becoming farcical especially in the second half during those silent moments had the writer been a bit lackadaisical. But Balaji astutely manages to tread home with dignity and drive home the point he set out to convey diligently.
Dulquer Salman has a dignified debut in Tamil with this movie. His Tamil dialogue delivery is a revelation. In my opinion among all the Malayalam actors his diction is bereft of any slang, it sounded very native. Kudos to the young man. Nazriya unlike her previous movies has a more solemn role this time around. She has does her part well. Madhubala, Pandiyarajan, Robot Shankar have done their parts well.
On the whole, "Vaayai Moodi Pesavum" is a movie with a message told in a light yet inventive manner.
Bottomline: Silence speaks louder than words.
3.5/5
