Irandam Ulagam movie review: what critics say (8)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 8 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 4 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the script.
The computer graphics and post production processing look mostly unimpressive unless the viewer wants to give grace points for the effort just because it is a Tamil movie.
Read the full reviewThe screenplay is abstract and complicated and it would call for an expert (besides Selva!) to decipher what the story is all about. Topping the confusion are the sequences that juggle between the two worlds.
Read the full reviewSelvaraghavan has come up with unconventional yet unconvincing storyline. But the script is shabby and terribly executed.
Read the full review‘Irandam Ulagam’ is a complete experience. It doesn’t have the usual high amounts of action, romance, comedy and masala as a normal Kollywood film would have; though it has all of it, everything is in moderation.
The film has an unreal fairytale-like quality that prevents us from feeling the intensity, passion and pain of the characters. It seems more like a childs bed-time story.
Read the full reviewIrandam Ulagam, no doubt, is a movie made with lot of passion, courage and one which had demanded lot of effort from the filmmaking team.
Read the full reviewThe interval break leaves the audience in utter confusion. Things were expected to improve in the second half but unfortunately it got worse and the climax did the wrap up job of ensuring every viewer has enough bumps on the head…
Irandam Ulagam is thematically closer to Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
