There is no way you can watch Vazhakku Enn 18/9 without shedding tears or getting angry. This was a moving storytelling that touched on crucial issues of our society

-One aspect that stood out in Vazhakku Enn 18/9 was the cinematography. You can tell Vijay Milton enjoys being behind the camera. The versatility of shots and angles took the story to another level, bravo!
-Vazhakku Enn 18/9 was such a down-to-earth story showing how Velu coming from humble beginnings in a rural area struggled to seek better opportunities in the city. The people he met, both sympathetic and dishonest, helped shape his character. On the other hand, we witnessed Aarthi, a young rich girl, seeking fulfilling relationships in the city
-Great warnings about the fragility of boy-girl relationships and the atrocities done on the poor (we'll stop here to avoid spoiling the movie).
What we admired in the story was Velu's and Aarthy's sincerity, their social statuses didn't impede their judgment to embark on crooked paths
-There were no boring moments, everything just flowed smoothly. Using flashbacks to tell a story can be poorly executed at times, but this was not the case here; the nice transitions to the past enhanced the narrative
-Make-up and costume designers did a spectacular job on the actors; they looked like actual people living on the streets, especially when it came to Velu's (Sri) denture
-Acting was natural across the cast and kudos to Aarthi (Manisha Yadav)!
Bland
-Dubbing suffered a little 🙁
