THE FILM HAS BEEN SHOT INTO 4 PARTS BY FOUR DIFFERENT TEAMS WITH THE BASELINE OF UNTOLD STORIES OF SINS.

REVIEW: (THANGAM)

              This part of the film (Thangam) has been directed by Sudha Kongara. She hints off that this part will be a complete character driven in initial sequences itself. Just like her initial hints , the scenes move on, Kalidas Jayaram lives his role in this 30 minutes, a mind blowing performance from him throughout. The way he delivered his dialogues sounded pretty well. There is nothing Cliché in this part, but there are no boring sequences as well.  Lots of value is added as well with Shanthunu’s Flawless acting . The dialogues are top-class just like Sudha’s previous contents. 

KALIDAS JAYARAM, WHO DELIVERED AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN THIS PART.

 

A good quality content watching experience overall with this Thangam and gives a good head start to this Paavakadhaigal.

OVERALL RATING          :  4/5

REVIEW : (LOVE PANNA UTTRANUM)

                       This part of the film (Love Panna Uttranum) has been directed by Vignesh Shivan. Just like its title , the sequences move on. Though , it had lots of cliché moments it didn’t give us a feeling of watching some other content. It’s the usual love story about parents acceptance when caste factor comes to light. Just like Thangam, the cast has done lots of Justice to this Love panna Uttranum. Anjali along with both the negative shade characters stood up high with their performances. Though , the outlook is too usual, the treatment was bit fresh and makes it a good one time watch with Vicky’s trademarks.

REVIEW : (VAANMAGAL)

                       This part of the film (VaanMagal) has been directed by Ace-filmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon. This is something which we haven’t seen from GVM in the past. An emotional drama with a hard punching message about a precious Women’s body. Simran and GVM as cast has done a FAB work along with Aadhithya Bhaskar. Lots of emotions are filled in this part, and well emoted out by Simran in necessary sequences. GVM as an actor once again pulls up high , a flawless and clean performance as Father. Maybe some 1 or 1 and half hours of this VaanMagal magic could have been better but it didn’t . 

                        GVM AND SIMRAN TOGETHER WAS TREATFUL TO WATCH.

                       

                    A hard-hitting message that had few GVM trademarks. How can you expect things to go wrong when you have GVM is 2 departments.

REVIEW : (OOR IRAVU)

                       

                                This last part of the film (OOR IRAVU) has been directed by an ACE-FILMAKER Vetrimaran. The screenplay moves to and fro that gives us some enough clarity about what exactly is going to happen. But , still Vetrimaran has done some phenomenal magic to keep us looking out for upcoming sequences. Few phenomenal talents like Sai Pallavi and Prakash Raj added lots of value to this last part of the film. Though few seconds remind us Pariyerum Perumal, Vetrimaran made sure that you wont come out from his world. A simple and short content with no boring sequences. 

                                                  SAI PALLAVI AND PRAKASH RAJ AS FATHER AND DAUGHTER HELPED US A LOT IN GRIPPING IN.

A masterpiece with roller coaster of Emotions with lots of Vetrimaran trademarks.
