And also Roja actress Madhu has also played an important role in the film with director Balaji Mohan playing a cameo of a TV anchor. Dumb flu hits Panimalai and people lose their speaking ability. The government puts a ban on speaking to ensure that the disease won't spread. How the people react is shown in funny manner. The movie mainly revolves around talkative Aravind and reserved Anjana's love story.

People could see variety of personalities and their speaking styles. Director Balaji Mohan has created different kind of roles and brings in a lot of fun moments through them. One thing that we should appreciate is that fact that there are not commercial distractions in the storyline and the humour quotient is high in Vaayai Moodi Pesavum.

Analysis

The screenplay is refreshing and human emotions have been perfectly presented. There are satire on present-day politcally motivated scenarios like banning movies.

Drawback

In the first half, there are fully of lively moments but in the second half, there are only ten minute of talk time. Characters use motion language that may not be liked by all section of audiences. The second half appears to be draggy.

Performances

Dulquar Salman is a treat to watch. Despite being a Malayali, he speaks Tamil fluently and justifies his role. Nazriya Nazim is a delight to watch. Pandiaraj, Robo Shankar and others have done justice to their roles.

Tech Departments

Sean Roldan has done a brilliant job. 'Kadhal ara onnu vizundhuchu', 'Podhum ini nee varundhadhe', and the title track are our picks. His background score in the second half will come to notice. Soundarajan's cinemotography is illuminating and editor Abhinav Sundar has done a neat job even though his scissors could have been sharp in the second half.

Verdict:

A light-hearted family entertainer even though there are double entendre jokes at parts.
