Boring plot, too many songs and fight scenes
obbananrajah22 August 2022
The story plot takes audiences back 6 years. Not to be too harsh because Karthi has done some notable films, but this movie was nothing great. At best it was boring. If you're looking for a run of the mill family story that has way too many fight scenes and songs intertwined, then this is the film for you.

I expected much more considering that it was produced by Suriya but this film almost makes me want to stop watching Karthi and Suriya movies altogether.

Yawned most of the way through and couldn't wait for it to end.

Nothing original except dialogs.
m-ramanan11 September 2022
RATED 4/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon Prime

Formulaic village story and run of the mill presentation. Nothing original and lot of scenes test your patience. Especially the action blocks and mother flashback sentiment scenes.

Lot of nice dialogs there but that is the only appreciable thing in this movie. Everything else is scene 100 times before in Tamil cinema. And curse to the director to bring back "sivakasi" Prakash Raj with his loud shouting.

Aditi is OK but her body language is artificial. Karthik and Rajkiran did the same role before and dont know how they chose this script.

Easily skippable one.

Typical MUTHAIAH movie
vibhus-1778014 August 2022
Muthaiah padam . As expected same Muthaiah story template , Mother , Father and Brother sentiment . This time story is based on Toxic father . Actually first half was good , it was engaging , even few places comedy worked well . Second half was totally a mess . Emotional part in second half didn't workout , especially 3rd act was totally cringe . Overall watch at your own risk .

Boring plot
jennifert-6296713 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The acting of most of the actors was good, but the plot was incredibly weak. Why should they forgive and reconcile with a person that abused and cheated on their mother? The father of Viruman even killed his innocent sister in the most cruel way possible. And he only realised his mistakes when his own needs were met while he was dying? I don't really call that true redemption. Besides, I don't see characters like that as gray characters. He is just a bad person. Moreover, the brothers also started siding with the main character after things were done for them. These family members all seem so selfish and therefore it's hard to feel the family sentiment that they tried to potray in this movie. I'm done with this narrative in some tamil movies that you should forgive someone for all the horrible things they have done just because they are your family members. Some things are unforgiveable and some so-called family members suck and you should just cut them off.

The songs were good, but we all know that Yuvan always does his job no matter what.

90s Movie released in 2022
narain-3922012 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe such a movie in 2022. This is not a B/C center movie either. If they thought so then they are underestimating their appreciation for good movies. No need to waste time and money on this one.

Worst movie I've ever seen
arvindjanardan13 August 2022
Mediocre Tamil movie. Worst story. Worst direction. Kindly ask Karthi Sir to choose a better film in the future. Film was too predictable. I feel asleep in the middle of the movie. The story gives a bad image to villages. Heroin's character, as usual was just for show. No big plot or anything. Fighting -mediocre as usual . Nothing new- Don't know when this gravity defying unrealistic fight culture will stop in Tamil cinema. Jokes were unbearable. Really!!! 3 hrs for a story about a guy with Daddy issues! LOL.

Average mass
best-review12 August 2022
The plot of the film is average and does not offer anything new or innovative. The screenplay lacks engagement and fails to keep the audience hooked throughout.

However, there are a few comedy, mass, and emotional scenes that manage to work and provide some entertainment value.

Karthi delivers a good performance, showcasing his acting skills. Prakash Raj, Raj Kiran, and Aditi Rao Hydari also perform adequately in their respective roles.

The production values of the film are decent, but the overall cinematic experience could have been better.

Fans of the actors or the genre may find it worth watching in theaters, but for others, it is advisable to wait for the film's release on an OTT platform.

A family movie
rajvignesh-6014020 August 2022
A good family movie with all masala elements just an another village side story but it was impactful though, the story is a bit different not the usual one could connect with me a lot the story, karthi and prakash raj nailed it with their performances , an osm plot and cast and adithi a good debut need much more from her, the music was heart warming and bgm was top too ,kudos to uvan , but a usual story and screenplay nothing new , but the plot was different. The dance is the worst , pls jani master u dont do choreography at all worst choreography for songs but not all some r really good but mostly its awkward dancing , he did the same thing in beast which was even worse.

Sadly disappointing
ngandacinema27 August 2022
😔😔😔 We love Karthi more than he loves us...Somehow, we hoped that maybe this time, this one time, this unique time he'll come up with a different movie. Even though the trailer already signaled otherwise, still, we had faith that Karthi would not let us down...but, he did...

DELICIOUS

---We're clapping for the cinematography that was so sizzling :D Selvakumar S. K. gave us vibrant moments. The film also had a great yellow color palette that emphasized the heat of the village setting and the 'heat' of the disputes

-Our favorite guy was Thalaiyaar (Viruman's father's assistant), he was so hilarious and sustained the comedy even when the camera wasn't focusing on him. Very nice!

-Fighting sequences, as expected, were well choreographed and kept the excitement going

BLAND

---The saddest part about movies like Viruman is the redundancy in the character design (especially the lead actor and heroine), plot, dialogues, dance segments, score, climax, etc.

We've seen way too many of this kind that another one makes it overwhelming and unappealing. Just a little touch of originality could have taken Viruman to a higher level.

Repetitive story, with a average screenplay
thulasiramravi27 August 2022
Karthi is the plus of the movie, he lifts the movie single handedly, Prakashraj does the role which remainds of his previous roles. Aditi is good dancer but acting needs improve. Soori is trying his best to make us laugh, but unfortunately, we are not able to even smile for his comedies. Muthaiah should try something new. Same village story, the characters change, in one movie it is mom and son bonding, in one it is grandmom, in one it is sisters and here it is father and son. May be this movie targeted on village audience and it works out there. Just a movie for entertainment of the village audiences.

Disaster
vijaythiruvasagam13 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I think Director thought if u keep big beard, Lungi(South Indian/Tamizian dress) little upward & have Aruva ( weapon in South India) the film will get Hits. No story line only Continously Dialogue and irritating, fight Scene very often. Waste of Money.

What were you thinking Karthi
rsweetie31 August 2022
Have been your fan for long. This movie is beyond disappointment. If felt like you hated yourself sooo much that you had to go make a movie like this. Please don't sabotage your career.

Waiting for a good movie from you. Please don't break my heart 🙏🙏 I missed the fun loving Karthi and his mischievous smile.

Radhika has so many feathers in her cap but this one will not add one. But nevertheless not a great lose for her.

Prakash Raj maintained his usual style of arrogance and anger. Nothing new. He grinded the same old dosa batter. It's becoming sour. Please try something new. Your an amazing actor. This was not a great movie for you.

1980 film
warrior0314 September 2022
Oh my what a snooze fest ...I couldn't wait till finish. With multi cast and story as old as ever. Was yawning throughout . Characters are half baked. Karthi needs to really stop repeating the village stories and try to better his career in otherwise then just hanging onto family and village audience. Aditi Shankar was medicore but a product of nepotism so I am sure she will go the round of 5 films and let's see if there is scope for improvement ..good dancer though. Prakash Raj typical deja vu role no comments. Music was a waste yuvan has lost his way ever since he all religious now. Either way I suggest you give it a miss.

Toxic men on display!
chand-suhas14 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The problem with Viruman is not it's routine village drama set up but with it's irredeemable characters. Viruman (Karthi) hates on his father Muniyandi (Prakash Raj) as he is responsible for his mother and aunt's suicide. He grows up hating on his father to an extent of celebrating when someone slaps him and even gifting that person a ring for slapping. On the other hand Muniyandi is an extremely toxic man / father who treats his sons & daughter in laws badly. With couple of villains around trying to take advantage of this father - son enmity, how will Viruman change Muniyandi for good forms rest of the story.

The thing is Prakash Raj's character is shown to be extremely bad beyond redemption. His actions no way show he deserves a second chance. Yet the whole film comes tumbling down in that terrible third act. As much as Soori tries, those scenes are as funny as he tries to be without any decent support from the writing. It is the same with the entire screenplay as well as it resorts to the same 5 fights 4 songs template. With nothing innovative and overdose of Toxic men, the resolution the director opts for comes out as painful as it can get to watch.

Viruman is not a winner
privenkatesa11 January 2023
Viruman does not fair well and seems nothing is new. Just a old fashioned storyline with estranged son saving other family members when they are in trouble. Aditi Shankar's acting is easily forgotten. Let's give more opportunities for star kids, directors kids and all other big shot celebrity kids. What is one more? Even Karthi and Surya, Vijay, Prashanth, and most of the current acting folks are all product of neoptism. Let's stop this and hire real talents outside of film industry who are struggling to get in.

Saranya Mam the exact Mom roles she has been fot years. Sorry this movie is a disappointment.

Anyway there is nothing much to say about this movie:(

Terrible and regressive!!
sriramthestranger16 September 2022
This is a very regressive movie that would have failed even in the 80s. The characters are one dimensional and you can predict the next scene every 5th minute. The screenplay is not coherent and looks like track love scenes and forced comedy sequences. If you remember the order fight - love - song - comedy - fight, then bingo you are the Director of this movie.

The biggest drawback you cannot connect with the characters or the environment on the screen. The Dad is too bad and the hero is all good, no evil... If there had been a story why Prakash Raj character became like that, it would have atleast engaging.

Do not watch!!

Reality not fantasy
kartgk-66-16135515 August 2022
Movie is about people and emotions in real world, not the dark underground, or soaring mythology. It's about flesh and blood people and human values. Cinematic liberties not withstanding, you will feel engaged with the characters if you have not already become a machine who only cares about money and pleasures. Excellent acting, dance, action, and above all so many village proverbs that would have been lost otherwise are used as dialogues. Watch with your kids if you want them to be humans,love their relations and not live in the VR reality of technology.
