Saraswathy Nagarajan

Vaazha

2024 · The Hindu

What redeems Vaazha, 'the biopic of a billion boys', is the humour woven in all the scenes in the first half of the film and the relatability factor in the second half. What works for this movie most is the relatability factor; director Anand ensures that the film does not become maudlin, although the second half has plenty of scenes where it could have turned into a typical tear-jerker. Vaazha is a full-on comedy that also asks certain pertinent questions about parenting and education.
