Two legends of tamil cinema, a producer who does not have any constraints in terms of creativity and a director who is new to the field. When these people join together to make a film one could expect something refreshing and entertaining. In the end all one gets is nothing but a direct attempt to copy the hit film “Pasanga” which has gone all wrong. If Pasanga was about two children fighting out amongst themselves its two old men here who have an ego clash with each other and create all problems in the village. The similarity in both the movies is that the fighting individuals are in the end brought together by a marriage. Read More

The movie is so predictable that there is absolutely nothing to savor than the sound effects which again is just too loud. Read More

Director Linguswamy had mentioned in an interview to a daily that his movie “Paiya” is a never seen before film in Tamil Cinema. His words are hard to interpret in the above context as to what does he actually mean by the term “never seen before”.
