Machi, Idhu Oru P**lu Padam da (Buddy, Villu is Total Garbage).Â
To describe this satanic piece of shit Villu as a movie is akin to considering nature’s freaks like Hitler, Prabhakaran and Stalin as humans.
Are Prabhu Deva, Vijay and Nayantara utterly bereft of shame that they stoop so low as to unleash bizarre rubbish on Tamil movie fans and dare call such stinking offal a movie.
Folks, unlike other Tamil movies there are no weak links in Villu because the entire beastly movie is one long weak link featuring the missing links in human evolution - Nayantara, Vijay and Vadivelu.
Villu belongs to the kuppa category of Tamil movies like Sathyam, Aegan and Kuruvi.
Compared to the blithering idiot Prabhu Deva (screenplay and direction), Gautam Menon and even that thieving swine Venkat Prabhu are master storytellers.
And if you are deluding yourself that Vijay is the new James Bond, let’s set the record straight – this bozo is not even anywhere close to being James Gaand. For the most part, the stunt scenes in Villu are hopelessly amateurish be it the ones involving the water scooter in the beginning, the many ridiculous fight scenes in the middle or the helicopter scene that comes later.

Monumental Folly
With a fatuous story that scales the Mount Everest of nonsense, Villu is a monumental act of hubris that presumes just because some moving images are flashed on a screen they morph into a movie.
Director Prabhu Deva and his ugly spawns in Villu, Vijay and Nayantara, wouldn’t recognize a movie – we mean a real movie – if it whacked them hard on the face.
Villu’s story is hopelessly silly and centers around the crude antics of a young fellow Pugal (Vijay) chasing around the bad guys in as cartoonish a manner as posssible.
As Pugal goes gallivanting around in India and Switzerland with his skimpily-clad lady love Janavi (Nayantara) in tow, the dazed moviegoers are left rubbing their eyes in sheer horror at the grotesque spectacle unfolding on the screen.
Prakash Raj, who delivers the most lethargic performance of his career in Villu, is cast as the baddie JD (drugs/arms smuggler and a traitor).
As if one Vijay is not torture enough, bizarre meets stupidity in Villu with a flashback revealing another Vijay!
Boy, who needs guns when a mother’s tortured wails to the gods can raise a dust-storm, opening up the very earth.
Mon dieu, are there no limits to Prabhu Deva’s nonsense.
And what’s with the repeated instances of multi-image photography. Awful.
Flop Thalapathy Vijay
For a guy who’s done 50 films, Vijay is a pretty pathetic actor with a grossly limited repertoire of expressions.
The fella can’t even deliver a punch dialog well and needs to get back to acting school. Pronto.
And while you’re there, Vijay, do learn some nice dance steps and the meaning of nuance as well.
To see this puny eli-kunji Vijay fight and pummel dozens into the dust is a Faustian bargain requiring us to endure a slow, agonizing journey through the hades.
No, Vijay is neither Bruce Lee nor Jet Li (as the villains in Villu refer to him in the beginning of the movie) but a Sundeli (mouse).
Ugly as Only Nayantara can be
Nayanthara is her usual hellishly ugly self, trying the utmost to look as slutty, crude and vulgar as humanly possible. Guess what, she succeeds wildly in that slutty mission.
Whether in the songs (wearing mini skirts that give you a liberal display of her thighs seemingly all the way up to the mons veneris and a bra masquerading as a top) as she sways her ample ass and shakes her bountiful bosom, or in the sophomoric comic scenes or in the crude parts such as the one near the well, Nayanthara makes you want to puke your guts out.
When Nayantara brags in her Dionysian stupor na pathinanji vaiyasale vaiyasakhu vandha ponnu, tears rolled down our cheeks.
Ah, the injustices man has to endure on earth.
This Nayantara thing is the dregs of the Kollywood dregs and that’s being charitable.
Vadivelu Drivel
The repeated insertion of juvenile drivel like the Vadivelu or Vivek comedy tracks without any connection to the main story in one Tamil movie after another can only mean that Kollywood film makers consider the Tamil film audience to be still perched on the lowest rung in the ladder of evolution.
These comedy tracks are not merely bad but offensively bad.
In Villu, this completely unnecessary comedy track with zero integration to the rest of the movie reaches its acme. With a weird hairdo, Vadivelu is made to look and act like a chimp in heat.
Starting from his introduction in a bullock cart headed to a marriage while listening to English songs to getting kicked in his cojones by a cow to his banshee-like screaming on a beach later, the so-called comic scenes in Villu are asinine beyond description and a gratuitous insult to the paying audience.
For instance, when Vadivelu lands at the airport, the Swiss police confer among themselves that an African Chimpanzee has escaped and upon discovering that this Chimpanzee is actually a human from India, they offer to let it go if it’ll do a Bollywood dance for them. And guess what – Vadivelu obliges by dancing on the table and the cops are soon dancing away too.
Such is the infernal nonsense that Tamil movies have descended to.
Other equally pathetic crap like having yellow paint flung in his face, hot water thrown on his body, a cow expelling dung on his face or cast into a well by a small kid or loudspeakers thrust into his body make Vadivelu an object of pity than a source of mirth in Villu.
Pedestrian Music
No great shakes in the music department too.
Whether it’s the absolutely disgusting Daddy Mummy with those fat-thighed girls or the boring Hey Rama Rama or the dragging Vaadaa Mapilley, music in Villu is no more than a synonym for cacophony.
Nee Kobapattal (reminiscent of Nee Mutham Ondru in Pokiri) inflicts the least damage.
Yes, all the songs are very badly picturized. No exceptions.
Overall, a Luciferian Nightmare
Paying $12 to watch this hellish nightmare is Prayaschit for the sins of seven lives.
Several members of the audience at MovieCity in Edison (NJ) were quite disengaged with the movie, playing with their phones, chatting and frequently walking out (our neighbors left and never returned).
If Vijay’s ATM was Asingamana Tamil Magan and Kuruvi was plain K**thi, then Villu is no better than P**lu.
Folks, do not consider seeing this piece of junk a.k.a. Villu even if you are paid $$ to watch it. Villu is not a movie but a sickening assault on the senses.
S.I. : Maybe the theatre owner cut the scenes to save on electricity cost.
I have heard that some local theaters do their own editing on removing songs and comedy sequences that they feel as unnecessary(?!!) to the movie.. of course given the nature of movies like villu the first time watcher wont even know there is something cut from the movie as most of its comedy and fight sequences are unnecessary.

With Villu, the theatre owners should cut the whole movie except The End. The movie was so awful as to beggar belief.
Wonder what the overall response is? (yes, yes, we know it’ll run for 100 days in Kovilpatti, Usilampatti or Kirkupalayam)
—>Whatever06
you watched it in pj state? i hope you won’t watch any vijay movie in theatre after this.. the same goes to simbu, ajith, danush and any actor with stupid punch dialogues and illogical stunts movies..
Villu is doing worse than even Kuruvi
http://www.tamiltorrents.net/forums/showthread.php?t=42076
Funny to see people comparing Villu to Matrix.The Matrix Trilogy is a one of the most logical movies ever. The genius of English movies lie in the fact that they can even make improbable story lines realistic (remember Spielberg’s adaptation of Jurassic Park.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
The only thing Villu is worth comparing to is BS.
Just read reviews on a couple of latest tamil movie releases of top stars of the industry and am not surprised that most are unfavourable.
The last couple of years are by far the worst, as some of the outputs could be termed unpalatable;songs and scenes are the pits. (Stopped seeing them, even the kids)
Pathetically senseless violence loosely termed as action/adventure, cheap depictions of romance bordering on vulgarity and crudity,comedy leaning more towards buffoonery than humor to be even considered within acceptable limits seem to have become generally accepted principle ingredients of a movie to ensure mass appeal?
Pandering to the hero’s ego and gross distortion is more like it.
Decency and Class are totally lacking in today’s productions.
In the name of machoism, the overdressed hero presents himself as an insolent bum and the underdressed heroine has little to do with the plot except to flaunt herself, be asinine and be demeaned by crude displays of ‘affection’ by the cocky hero and be dispensed with imediately after that while our hero, who eventually saves the day, takes care of business.
Talk about this huge hang up about the female form, love scenes and kissing. Can’t understand why our movies make such a big deal out of it and it inadvertantly becomes an issue.
Can’t imagine these are products of a country that has progressed by leaps and bounds. Money should not be the motivating factor, aesthetic values do count.

1. Bad review or bad movie?
Perhaps, you are confused. Villu was a piece of shit.
2. You write above: He had a capacity to cover audience without a story
Thanks for the joke. Villu lacked even a fig leaf of a credible story.
Dude – happened to stumble on to this site while on the internet. Really hilarious reviews, every one of them and I have to agree all of them are probably absolutely true (I have not watched all the movies).
Anything featuring Ajit or Vijay has to be tripe and unadulterated bu**sh*t. To call them actors is an insult to cinema.
Share your thoughts on the bimbettes on the loose – Nayantara, Namitha etc.
The only grouse I have is some of the inconsistencies on this site. I actually watched Pokiri and can’t believe you can have anything nice to say about it! Other than Asin’s looks (not acting mind you) the movie was the crappiest cow dung ever shot. It was all of the nice succinct captions you had for Vijay movies like “hellishly bad, revoltingly bad, awful” rolled into one.
Likewise Dasavatharam stank more than horse manure and I can bet anything that most of the audience wanted that Asin character shot dead midway through the movie for her constant mindless nettling about the idol. After all that stupid vial had the power to destroy the world, how could something else be more important? But I see that you have mentioned her role is a bright spot.
How come??
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: I have not watched all the movies.
Consider yourself blessed. Tamil cinema has plumbed the depths of the dregs.
Namitha? Can it get any worse than this?
Ajith? That fella Ajith is a disgrace to the notion of cinema. He can’t act, he can’t dance. Heck, that guy can’t even walk straight.
2. Regarding Pokiri, we wouldn’t be as effusive in our praise today.
3. As for Asin in Dasasvatharam, perhaps we were trying desperately to salvage some saving graces. Or maybe our hormones were acting up.
I watched Villu (30 mins of it actually) in youtube yesterday n I already had enough.. MY GOD.. Wat were Vijay n Prabhudeva thinking when they made this movie.. IT SUCKS.. An intro fight scene n song has become a trademark of Vijay films.. The action SUCKED BIG TIME.. i was yawning for the most part.. Since Villu was directed by Prabhu, I had some hope that this would b a come back film for Vijay.. n needless to say, I was disappointed.. Vadivelu’s comedy was actually crude n irritating.. Though I had already read ur review.. I decided to watch it just to see how true u guyz were.. n I couldn’t even watch 30 mins of this CRAP A.K.A Villu… however did u see the whole movie.??
Vijay’s last decent film was Pokkiri.. lets atleast hope Vettakaran would be decent.. if not.. i think its high time for our Ilayathalapathi to retire..

Vijay is one of the biggest Flops in the Tamil film industry. Flop-thalapathi would be a better name for this clown.
Look at the pathetic quality of his movies – Kuruvi, Azhagiya Tamil Magan and Villu. Plain awful.
Take a look at this video..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZJhWP8F7xo&feature=related
Vijay shows his anger towards someone(donno who.. a cleaner i think)..
this happened during Vijay’s Villu interview..
and i also don’t know if it was before or after the film’s release.!!!!

please i love ur blogs and im waiting to see the review of polladavan . i have seen the movie and have quite few strong points abt it.. please start a discussion abt polladavan.. pls dont ignore it even if u consider that a ultimate cooum dump.. because we’ve seen even more cooums like sathyam,villu,,aegan, ATMetc… so i guess we can bear it.. cant wait for the blog to get started… bye have a nice time…
SearchIndia.com Responds:
We never got around to seeing Polladhavan…not sure if it made it to the East Coast.
Hi,
I loved ur movie reviews..both Tamil as well as Hindi.
I liked this review because,all words are straight from the heart.i know how u feel after watching this movie..it’s 150 mins of torture which will surely test human temper (for sure). It’s a shame that for the past 2 years in Tamil films ,only I think around 5 to 6 movies are good movies..i.e.good storyline and decent acting. some of the movies are..
1. Paruthiveeran (2007)
2.Tamil M.A(2007)
3. Polladavan (2007)
3. Aanjathey(i think 2008 ,not sure)
4. Subramaniyapuram(2008)..try to see these movies ,if u got the DVD’s.
I’m waiting for the review of this films..out of this five i thought Paruthiveeran and Tamil MA are very good movies..it’s very hard to hear that around 120 tamil movies has been released every year.
So out of this 3 good films means the overall percentage of watchable tamil films is 2.5%.the remaining movies are total crap.
It’s a pity that tamil movies are still using the same old formula which have worked in 1960’s or 1970’s.
I think it will take another another 50 yrs for Tamil industry to double the ratio (5%) of good movies in a year.
I’m waiting for ur reviews of above mentioned movies..to u guys, really i want to ask this question..Are all Tamil movies really have an Editor?..otherwise villu’s screen length will be 3 mins..(for credits)
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: I think it will take another another 50 yrs for Tamil industry to double the ratio (5%) of good movies in a year.
Now, that’s being too optimistic.
To fix a problem, you’ve first got to acknowledge that a problem exists and then look for solutions. The clowns in Kollywood do not even believe that a problem exists.
So, it’s going to be a long while before we see any relief from the bozos, either in Kollywood or Bollywood.
2. Unfortunately none of the movies in your list is available at the movie rental service we subscribe to – Netflix.

Someone posted a link the other day. Weird.
I saw Villu the other day…when I noticed the comment written by someone below one of the villu videos on youtube..I couldnt stop laughing…it said Villu is a Lollu Sabha version of Billa…I couldnt agree more
Some one sent me a video of Vijay getting really really pissed at someone during a press conference, was really taken a back and prabhu deva was seen sitting next to him. I’m only guessing its Villu press conference.(Not sure its before or after the movie was released) SI:You guys should check out the video in You Tube.
He really lost his cool, but the videos were edited and many didn’t even have the tiniest idea why he yelled and to whom he yelled. But the comment below the videos were very abusive.
Foul languages are being used and all of sudden Ajith’s name is being dragged.These actors should clear up the air that they don’t have any issues amongst them , simply because at this rate, tamilians all over the world especially the scary kinda of Ajith Vijay fans are cussing and cussing and using derogatory remarks on each other.
Shame on those small group of people, grow up. People are dying of hunger, poverty in India , losing jobs, AIDS epidemic is increasing and all they could do is talk smack about each other. Very disappointing and pathethic.

BTW, we give these mediocre clowns far too much importance.
Your reviews are interesting. Though you seem to be explicitly frank in your word usage for reviewing the films, I can find honesty in your reviews. I wont tear ‘Villu’ apart as much as you have done but couldnt disagree on quite a few parts.

Dear Reviewer,
I watched Villu on a DVD expecting nothing more than a pile of garbage. Your review is more than true!
BTW it would be more useful if you could avoid using some non-English words … I understand n-E words add more power to the tone that you use but an average reader would find it difficult to comprehend.

i presume you’re not gonna watch Vettaikaran on the first day (or will you?) i’ll only watch it after reading your review…but tbh, im not very fussed about it, because i saw a clip of a song, and i didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…

just to comment on that clip, vijay hasn’t got the ’style’ of Rajini, the ‘good-looks’ of Surya, or the ‘dancing-talent’ of Prabhu Deva, so i really don’t know why he is doing such things…
anyways, do you watch French films? if you do, i would recommend the films ‘Jules et Jim’ and ‘Tell No One’ (actual name is ‘Ne Le Dit A Personne’)…both are really good movies and have good reviews…esp ‘jules et jim’, it was hailed by critics as one of the greatest films of all time…

Yes, we do occasionally. Both in theaters and on DVD.
We watched Tell No One last year at the Landmark Sunshine Theatre in downtown Manhattan (they get nice arthouse movies at the Landmark Sunshine). Here’s the review: Tell No One – Gorgeous Movie . It’s now on Netflix Instant Play as well.
We’ll watch Jules et Jim next week. Will likely be our first François Truffaut film. Will be available on Netflix Instant Play from 12/21/09.
