(Sorry feminists) Songs were so apt and perfectly placed. The film has such strong female characters who are not the typical female leads you see in a South Indian cinema.

This movie has the essence of "POLLADHAVAN" - an innocent lower-middle class young adult fighting gangsters who stole his bike, "AADUKALAM" - politics/war with a game as the base (carrom board in this one and cock-fight in the former), "VISAARANAI" - prison scenes. If you're planning to watch this film (which I highly recommend), I suggest that you first watch the previous works of Vetrimaaran. Such a complex script and screenplay but at the same time understandable. We've seen various gangster films in Tamil, but Vada Chennai is a class apart. For future/budding directors planning to make a gangster film this MUST be your reference. When I watched Prem Kumar's debut film '96 two weeks ago, I felt that it would definitely play the role of a "reference film" for future directors planning on making a romantic film.
Kolamaavu kokila, Chekka chivandha vaanam (okay type), '96, pariyerum perumaal, raatchasan and Vada Chennai. This year has been great for Tamil Cinema. I'm really sleepy now but could not imagine going to sleep without writing a very brief review about "Vada Chennai" (North Chennai). You will definitely root for the lead character and have many moments with tears in your eyes and lump in your throat!

Enjoy the intensity, political satire (for eg when a character asks if rajiv gandhi succeeded mgr as prime minister) the lawlessness, the dilemma of who or what is right and wrong, is it all by design or free will and many other uncomfortable questions. What stood out were few things among many, how the director has given attention to detail right from cinematography to dialogue to time period it feels as if the tale is unscripted, the superb acting from all the cast led by Dhanush, the editing which deserves multiple awards for carrying out non linear story telling with aplomb, the music which is not jarring and giea with the flow and above all the direction which is a cut above the rest taking the best out if his crew Vetri maaran gives his best work here. Yes, this movie describes a reluctant young man's journey through the slums surrounded by crooks eventually into a leader and ganglord and is inspired by all those movies listed above. Amusing that directors find their best work in describing crime from its origin to effect.

It is comparable to all the great gangster dramas that world has produced like the untouchables, godfather, and our own nayagan, satya and gangs of wasseypur. This movie has been in the making for a decade or more and its totally worth it and understandable! Every character, scene, dialogue means something and its so well etched that you have to accept it sets a benchmark for regional cinema.
