ETimes review
We rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review reads, “Vidaamuyarchi starts off very slow, with Sawadeeka song — which starts as soon as the movie begins — being the only high point in the slow and dull first half, which covers the couple’s relationship drama, flashback sequences and the incidents that lead to Kayal’s kidnap. It reaches an interesting point at the interval, only to be bogged down by a quick revelation about the antagonists. Had director Magizh Thirumeni placed this part towards the climax, the film would have become an intriguing thriller. The revelation ends up being a spoiler for the supposedly thrilling second half, making it very predictable. The half-hour leading up to the interval also feels repetitive. The film comes together in the last one hour, but the closure is utterly disappointing as it feels like a convenient wrap up. Vidaamuyarchi is not the usual Ajith outing and marks a departure from his typical mass masala films with an entry song and lengthy dialogues. While there are two ways to see this, the movie might be disappointing for Ajith fans expecting mass moments.”
