It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

The movie was excellent. Dhanush and everybody acted so good in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie was also superb. 1st half was so good in the movie but 2nd half in the movie lagged a lot.

(V)elai (I)lla (P)attathaari.. Mass movie of 2014.Strength: 1 . Dhanush - He made the movie to come in such a way that even an old story can be a super duper hit. As far as story wise it seems to be old, but Dhanush and Velraj made it special. In some scenes he imitate Superstar which suits him well. Probably he is also now in the race of "Who is next superstar?" 2. Anirudh - Songs and BGM were the biggest plus point in this movie. Except amma song all songs were sung by Dhanush and Anirudh which are rocking. The BGM's after the punch dialog are really amazing which watching in theater. 3. Crew : Over all the crew has done great job. Vivek made a great comeback in this movie. 4. Dialogues and Screenplay plays a important role. Movie does not get bore at any scene. It was going very fast. Songs were placed in right place too.. Weakness: 1. Most important weak point in this movie is villain, He does not suit the character and obviously he looks like Amul baby...Over all Review : Mass movie which must be watched in theater with family. Hope it will create a different image among married womens.

Very good acting and screenplay....Some times dialogue delivery seems look like Rajini particularly discussion with amala paul after the OOthungada sangu song.....In climax amala paul seems like married women...Sticker on her head...but none of the scene related to marriage....Very good screenplay and expression delivered by dhanush...congrats ....sir definitely this film hits box office ... But one thing the audiography in the film is some more bad not songs only background....Anyway the result is good....Photography is good... Dance performance is very good and particularly reaction , expression in dialogue delivery. action sequence is very nice...

Polled as best trailer of the year, VIP aka Velai Illa Pattathari released with huge expectations among the fans. The first question would be, did the movie met the expectations ? The answer is YES. The movie clearly delivered what it has promised in the trailer.The story in the first half doesn't need to credited for the writer. Because it is the story of lakhs of Engineering Graduates ( VIPs) in the state. Even though it looks like typical Danush movie, director Velraj presented it with fresh scenes perfectly matching his expectation by handling the camera by himself. Interval block is perfect to make transition in the story. While the first portrays the reality the Second half is just opposite to it with more cinematic stuffs but packed up well. Climax is cool, ending peacefully. Every actors fits well in their respective roles. Both Amala Paul and Surabhi are looking beautiful without any glam n skin.. All the songs are merged well in the script without spoiling the flow. Anirudh's bgm is rocking as usual..No practical useful message for the VIPs.But rich-poor-suppression dialogues are raw, good n stirring. (Tats my pick in this movie)PS: Dear VIPs, with our celebrations the movie will become hit but we will be failures only if we are so proud of being VIP blaming others. Actually the govt should take the blame. Even this movie failed mention tat. Yosinga !
