This movie is the best one in Tamil.Virumandi shows how much effort had Kamal Haasan put in. Everything was perfect in the movie. Right from the casting to the directing ,everything was mindblowing. Especially the style of the movie was great-Depicted with two narrations this movie will just sweep you off your feet! I would say that Kamal Haasan is a better Director than even Maniratnam. The Bull fight sequence was equal to the making of Hollywood standards!Usually, I used to criticize most of the Tamil movies for it's screenplay,editing and the making but for this movie i just couldn't. Had given a good producer, Kamal would've taken Tamil filmdom to Hollywood! Guys,this movie is worth a million watch!!!

Kamalahassan has proved a point with this village based script. Though his acting is not his magnum opus, his direction and screen play skills shines through out the movie.He has done meticulous work in sketching the plot and in small details of the village set. Pasupathy, napolean have done a commendable job. Songs and background score gel well with the story. Slightly inspired by the Hollywood movie "Life of David Gale", the movie stood out as unusual good movie among the clichéd kollywood movies. Abirami has done her role well, adding a pinch of romance to the movie. The gruesome fight scenes though realistic adds a negative attribute to the movie. All in all its an exceptional movie of its time.

Virumandi is another masterpiece from genuis kamal.The way in which the story has been told is something amazing and very rarely you can see in Indian Cinema leave alone Tamil Cinema. I was very much depressed when films like Anbe Sivam and Hey Ram failed with people but hats off to kamal for his perseverance and hardwork and never giving up attitude to stage a great comeback in Virumandi and scripted a message in Film Industry that realistic and Quality films can also do well in box office. In my opinion currently Kamal is the best in Indian film Industry when it comes to making high quality films.Look at Virumandi - the way in which story being told with flawless screen play, powerful dialogues and aesthetic direction and utilising the technology to a fullest extent. I think his mentor Balachander should be proud of his student. As an actor he has already proved that he is No 1 in the country and from film Direction point of view he is the process of taking Tamil/Indian cinema to International arena. Probably in years going forward we can witness a range of International awards being confered on this great artist.
