Breath-Taking Start to the Tear Breaking Climax

[shafi_awesome · 9/10 · 17 July 2011]

First of All Vikram..Being a Father and a Mentally Challenged Personality.. He has taken the movie to the Top..Then Baby Sara Cute and Well Matured Acting Especially in the Climax..Anushka,Santhanam,Nass​Ar and Amala Paul doing their Job perfectly and BGM by G.V.Prakash is Good to Add more emotion to the scenes..Nirav Shah Once Again Top Class With some Special Action in Vizhigalil Oru Vaanavil Song..

Special Credits to Vijay for Making Excellent Figure in Madarasapattinam and Now Tear Breaking Climax in Deiva Thirumagal..

Overall Deiva Thirumagal is Another Sad Ending Flick by Vijay..

With love, Krishna

[gauthamhits08 · 7/10 · 16 July 2011]

I luckily got two tickets yesterday for Deivathirumagal(Inspired by I'm Sam). The movie kick-starts with the VIKRAM FEVER. Seriously, this guy is like some kind of a virus and you just can't stop liking that virus whatsoever! hats off! The Ups are more comparatively in this movie. Even a few minor errors have been vanished by the strength of the positives! The movie has two halves and definitely the first half is better than the second half because there are lot of vikramless scenes in the second half! Okay now let me categorize

UPS: -Vikram's acting

-Anushka's bold acting and Nasser's maturity at times help!

-GV's Music- Really a strength. It made many scenes particularly KRISHNA-NILA interactions lively!

-Krishna-Nila interactions and situations

-Humor contents with M.S. Bhaskar and Vikram, Santhanam's comedy scenes at the beginning.

-Screenplay's strength when Vikram's on focus.

-Camera in OOTY

DOWNS: -Vikramless scenes in second half were lengthy.

-Krishna friends' acting

-Shweta's(amala paul) dad- God help his acting!

-Editing- Cuts could have been more crisp and movies like these need slow editing like passing, not cut and a start!

-A few logic damages.

-Dialogues in the courtroom should have been powerful. -Unnecessary song VIZHIGALIL!

-Camera in Chennai.

Had these minor perfection missing scenes were corrected the movie would've been equal to I'm Sam…Still a great film carried by VIKRAM!

Facther child relationship

[stanleysen-chat · 8/10 · 18 July 2011]

Thievathirumagal movie stars Vikram, Anuska, Amala Paul, Santhaanam and MS Baskar.

Positives : 1.) Vikram's marvelous acting. 2.) Cute acting by the child. 3.) Santhanam's timing comedy. 4.) Good screenplay and direction by Vijay. 5.) No double meaning dialogues and item songs. 6.) Exciting BGM 7.) Cute Amala Paul and Anuska's performance. 8.) Emotional and love scenes. 9.) No lengthy boring scenes.

Negatives : 1.) I don't find any flaw. Climax may be little bit different… 2.) Even though its inspired from "I am SAM", vikram's acting and Nila's cuteness made it entirely new experience.

Overall it's a feel good movies. Whole family can watch this movie together. Everyone will love this movie.

An Emotional and Light Hearted Journey !!!!

[kimian · 10/10 · 15 July 2011]

It is one of the best performances by Chiyaan Vikram. Right from the first scene when he is thrown on street till the last court sequence, he is there playing his part well. Anyone who watches the movie will love Krishna. Such is Vikram's performance as he brings out the innocence of the character well. As a father, friend and guide, he is scintillating.

Sarah is rare find. She is cool in her emotions and performs with ease. It's a different Anushka in 'Deiva Thirumagal'. No glamour but leaves a mark with her decent portrayal.

Amala Paul impresses in few scenes. There is Nasser, playing his part as advocate and Santhanam is good not just in humour but also in emotional scenes.

Nirav Shah's extraordinary visuals and G V Prakash Kumar's music are life and blood to the tale. Na Muthukumar's lyrics add pep to the songs. Vijay has handled things in a mature manner. He is sure to leave an impression.

One should watch this film in theaters to see the story and how it unfolds,because it has a great visual grip over you.

This movie wasn't made with mega budget or keeping 'hero image' in mind. It is a movie made for a story to be told. Worth your money. Go watch it!!

An Excellent Journey of Love between a Dad and a Daughter

[ajay_babu88 · 10/10 · 17 July 2011]

Rather to say its worthy of watching this Film, I wish to say, Its my pleasure to watch it. I'm proud to be a fan of Tamil Cinema industry. Hats off to Vikram, Director "Vijay" and Kutty "Sara". Definitely they deserve a National award for the climax. The performance of Actor Vikram is acceptable, where the 5 yr old Sara's performance was really awesome. One could even think that she is more than a versatile and experienced actress'.

Friends, its our duty to make such kind of films to reach the audience, Please try to watch this film in theaters, I assure u a full value of money and u'll witness a fantastic chemistry between Vikram and Baby Sara. I enjoyed watching this movie....

Over all, the movie was a delight to watch for everyone.......!

Excellent Drama (i cried for many scene)

[pravinraaj-mba · 10/10 · 15 July 2011]

I usually don't Comment... But I want to comment this movie....

i have seen I AM SAM.... and its a excellent drama made me cry in many scene..... I felt the Same for Deiva Thirumagal... Mostly If we saw the original movie, we don't feel the same about "Based on" or Remakes....But Here it is so fresh and director vijay gave it with original quality and excellent making.... Casting is so amazing especially Nila Character.... she s beautiful and very talented.... and of course we know about Vikram... what can i say... He proved once again.... Totally i Recommend this movie, and its real worth...

Deiva Thirumagal is a 2011 Tamil drama film written and directed by Vijay and produced by Mohan Natarajan.The film comprises director Vijay's 'regular' technical crew with G. V. Prakash Kumar as music composer, Nirav Shah as cinematographer and Anthony as editor.

After Kannathil Muthamital, This is the only film which brought tears in my eyes.

[prshnthg · 10/10 · 18 July 2011]

I know am not the first to start praising about Deivathirumagal, still this movie deserves appreciation from every cell of my body. Am not ashamed to make it public that I was in tears through out the film. It was a spectacular display of emotions by both the father and the daughter. A beautifully crafted relationship. Vikram surpassed Sean Penn by truly living the character on the screen. Baby Sarah, no wonder you performed exceedingly cute, considering the fact that acting runs in the family blood. You have made your daddy proud. Director Vijay too needs kudos for keeping the movie clean from scratch till the end. All in all, a wonderful experience. So good to see Tamil Cinema heading in the right direction. Vikram, no one could have done that role better than you, and you never fail to impress me.

Unconditional Love well portrayed.

[kgradhakrishnan · 10/10 · 17 July 2011]

Deiva Thirumagal - Must watch in a theater. The bond between 'Krishna' and 'Nila' and the way they have portrayed it will never be forgotten for a long time. We couldn't control our tears towards the end of the movie. Perfect blend of all elements - Music, Screenplay, Dialogues, Camera and acting.. Can never be made better.

Music by GV Prakash is fabulous. The theme music still plays back in my mind.

Vikram - Bow down to your acting, sir!

Baby Sarah as Nila - Great potential.. Very cute acting and her cuteness is the ultimate emotional factor in this movie!

Santhanam's comedy is good, but is not very hilarious.

Anushka did justice to her role.

Amala Paul - Artificial acting apparent.

The movie is absolutely fabulous and you will come out of the movie hall with a heavy heart and a smile on your face!!

Beautiful and Emotional relationship between Father and Daughter!

[sethukarthick · 10/10 · 19 July 2011]

I saw Deiva Thirumagal movie.... Mind blowing movie... I cried for a few minutes but i was happy to cry... I like Vikram but after watching his performance in this movie i become a great fan of him... I really admire him for his dedication and hard work towards cinema... Most surprising elements are Baby Sarah, Anushka, Amla Paul and Santhanam. Baby Sarah stole the show with her outstanding performance. Anushka proved she can do performance role with perfection too... Santhanam is a great actor not only for his humour and also for his serious acting skills... Best movie to describe the beautiful relationship between father and daughter... I can say that you will cry but you will be happy to cry that is special of this movie... This movie should deserve good Box Office Collections so please watch in theatre because this is Deiva Thirumagal and it is Aweeeeeeeeesome!!!!!! Thanks...

simply superb

[sarancoolbreeze · 17 July 2011]

The movie starts will actor Vickram asking for nila. unfortunately he meets Anuska who is an layer without even an case santhanam who plays a role of junior to anuska brings vickram to her.such a way this movie starts in an finding nila and moves into an adventure new to Tamil cinema to the home made chocolate factory.hands off to art direction work that would be usually in vijays film .The growing up of child nila picturising is good. and the answer of vickram to the question asked by nila is a key to open heart.

This is an movie which can be enjoyed to an extreme with family rather than group of friends comedy is a key to commercial success the acting of girl nila and vickram makes every audience to cry and feel in first half. The argument of the anuska and the acting of correspondent was great

The gv music makes us to travel to the world of the film .The greater applause goes to nasar for his acting in climax.

thanks to the producer to take an risky subject .And to buckram to act in such an inexpensive movie .Greater thanks to vijay after a long time i watched a beautiful movie with my family after a long time of 5 years

Total copy

[mailkarthy · 6/10 · 25 July 2011]

Have given 1 for the excellent acting by Vikram. This movie is a complete plagiarism of the Hollywood blockbuster "I am SAM" for which Sean Penn was nominated for an Oscar too. These kind of plagiarized movies prove once again that Kollywood movies have no quality or innovation in them and should not be recognized for any awards under any category. Its a total shame for the director to call this movie as their original which is comparable to a scientist copying someone else's hard research and call it as his original work. This movie SHOULD NOT BE RECOGNIZED FOR ANY AWARDS UNDER ANY CATEGORY EXCEPT ACTING"

A pleasure to watch

[rgbharathwaj · 10/10 · 15 July 2011]

Its an awesome movie to start with.... Surely everyone must watch this movie. It just portrayed the Greatest feeling of love to everyone in a touching and Cute way. Almost everyone in the theater had their tears to shed and show the feeling the movie gave . The Small girl(NILA) was so cute and was acting above her age.Surely Vikram's acting will make everyone to turn back and say Hats off to Vikram. Vikram really deserves an Award for this movie.

The Cinematography was really mind blowing.he surely deserves a great applause from everyone. And Anushka did a good role and even the supporting Actors were at their best.

And about music, It was a like a honey flowing into our ears. It was a splendid composition . Thanks to the movie team for giving out a such an awesome movie.

Polished version for the polished audience

[jeethjohnp · 6/10 · 23 August 2011]

The movie starts off in a pretty off-beat manner. If only the same bit of off-beat attitude was maintained for the rest of the movie, this movie would have been a better experience for me. The director treats the viewer the same way he is treating Vikram's character.

The movie is very simple and laid in a format that will connect with a majority of the audience. Hence the only part where the movie really steers away from the regular path is the performance department. Both Vikram and Sarah has done a brilliant job. In fact, I have fallen in love with Sarah's acting. It is just amazing. And Anushka is doing something other than flaunting her beautiful curves and she pulls it of brilliantly too.

And moreover being an inspiration from I am Sam (which I haven't watched), there will be a lot of comparisons. But viewing this as a single movie without comparing it, I would say it was a decent movie. Watchable once with minor episodes of boredom.

PLAGIARISM at it's best

[wahiditsme · 1/10 · 19 July 2011]

PLAGIARISM at it's best.

It is a remake of movie "I AM SAM"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0277027/

Here's the latest on young music composer G V Prakash. His Pa pa pa… number in Vikram's recent release Deiva Thiirumagal is said to be a direct lift from Roger Miller's 1973 track called Whistle Stop that was composed for the Disney Version of Robin Hood. And, what's very interesting is that the lyrics in the English original are the same as well! This revelation has been made in a website that chronicles plagiarism in film music. "The film itself is inspired generously by the Sean Penn starrer-I am Sam. As for the song, Pa pa pa… is a replica of Roger Miller's 1973 track," the website stated, "It is disconcerting to see young G V Prakash lift tunes so unabashedly," it said. When CT contacted G V Prakash, he said, "It was on director Vijay's insistence that we modelled the song in the film on Whistle Stop. He wanted it like a nursery rhyme and Whistle Stop was struck in his mind. That's why we used it. But I've composed much better songs in the album that has been widely appreciated." However, the music composer admits that credit should have been given to the original. "I think we should have given credit to Whistle Stop. That was a mistake." Interestingly, it was earlier stated that another track from the same film – Jagada Thom... – borrowed its hook from Amaan Ali Khan and Ayaan Ali Khan's 2007 song Truth. While the music composer had admitted that it did sound a bit similar, he had defended saying, "Even if there's any similarity, it's sheer coincidence because I've not heard Truth before."

Indian cinema is all about copying Hollywood. Indian people will disagree. But, I don't care speaking the truth.

one of the best movie of the year....

[ram_anniyan · 16 July 2011]

Deivathirumagal-is a heart touching movie directed by vijay and great performance by vikram as a mentally challenged adult with the maturity of a five-year-old boy..

This movie is one the best movie in vikram's carrier who has given an excellent performance as Krishna.. he deserves for an award..

Also the child sarah(Nila) did very excellent acting and the on screen chemistry between vikram(Krishna) and sarah(Nila)as a father and daughter worked very well.. and hats off for them.

Anushka(anuradha) did very impressive different character from her previous movie. Amalapaul(swetha) did very sensitive role..

Santhanam,Nasar did their job well and gives more support for the film All other actors really did very good job.

The great plus point of the movie is Visual and Music.. camera work done by Nirav Shah gives birth to the film and touching the heart in each frame..

Music by G V Prakash's is excellent and adding more strength to the film. songs are very well composed and picturised good.. Especially in 'Ore oru oorukulla' 'aariro' and 'vizhigalil'.. Also his background score is excellent.. such a talented young composer.

Anotony's editing is quiet good.

overall director vijay given a very sensible and emotionally heart touching movie with great performance by vikram.. will given them a award winning movie of the year.

Deivathirumagal is an excellent movie for all age of people.. worth watching the movie... Don't miss watching it..

Worth watching

[rajmohsu · 10/10 · 18 July 2011]

Apart from the fact that this movie was inspired by I AM SAM, this is just an awesome movie to watch. A real must watch movie for all families.

If this was not made from the above said Hollywood Flick, then I can say happily and proudly Tamil Cinema has gone far beyond imagination.

Anyways, Hard work must be appreciated. Vikram has been so good in each and every scene. This is completely Chiyaan Vikram's movie. Every other characters have done their parts perfectly. And, I must say, Sarah (Nila), she is a real angel.

Great work by the team..

Hats off !

One of the very few feel good films in Tamil.

[ajyvardan-80-330978 · 10/10 · 15 July 2011]

This is my first review, and i am proud to start with this.. Do add this in your "MUST WATCH" list. Even if u have watched I AM SAM, don't miss this one. The acting, camera,story,feel, etc. everything is out of the world! Every single person in the theaters had tears in their eyes watching the climax. Vikram,the girl and the director took the audience to a different world. Especially in the scene where the father and his daughter communicate with each other in sign language during her first day school and in the court room. AWESOME!. A milestone in Tamil film industry. A journey that everyone must travel. A feel good movie that everyone must feel.!

Deiva Thirumagal

[sakthi-assman89 · 10/10 · 24 July 2011]

The movie of Deiva Thirumagal is one of the milestone of Indian Film Industry. Hats off to Director Vijay & Music Composer G.V.P and Entire crew of Deiva Thirumagal Team. The Child artist Baby Sara done a great job of her character.I love her so much..I wanna daughter like this in future.. So pretty,cute "Baby Sara". This team surely get the National Award..

Vikram sounds great in Kadha solla even though the pointless 'story' should appeal only to kids. His other song, Pa pa is bolstered largely by GVP's foot-tapping arrangements while Vikram himself sounds annoying. Saindhavi rocks the dreamy, whispery melody in Vizhigalil oru vaanavil. Life is Beautiful makes a Yuvan-like celtic pitch, while Jagada thom, despite all those snazzy sounds, fails to engage. The soundtrack's highlights are Vennilave, with GVP's vocals in an ethereal and enticing tune, and Aariro, a mighty impressive melody sung by Haricharan and is superbly arranged as well. Melodious tunes packaged cleverly to appeal – GVP succeeds again!

Life is Beautiful Theme Music

A spellbinding composition by G.V. Prakash with the use of strings, Violins and whistle with the same tune repeated over and again…

On the whole, 'Deiva Thirumagan' stands out as yet another best composition from G.V. Prakash and the songs are likely to capture everyone's interest as we keep hearing it repeatedly.

Beautiful Family Relation

[yogeshwarperumal1997 · 10/10 · 21 July 2011]

. A family movie . a comedy movie .Mind blowing movie... I cried for a few minutes but i was happy to cry...

Deiva Thirumagal - God of small things

[askarme-950-928124 · 9/10 · 21 July 2011]

Call 'Deiva Thirumagal' an honest attempt once again by director A L Vijay. And, perhaps the need of the hour too. It's far from the madding crowd of commercial masala films.

With no double meaning dialogs or flashy song sequences shot abroad or 'high-voltage' stunt scenes, the film is an emotional journey between a father and daughter and their love towards each other.

The USP of the movie is immaculate performance by Chiyaan Vikram. He plays a dotting father to a five-year-old daughter. But he is not the usual dad - he is an adult with the mental maturity of a five-year-old. The actor in Vikram seems to have taken it in his stride to deliver a power-packed performance.

Matching him by scene-to-scene is young Sara who plays his daughter. The sequences involving Vikram and Sara are the major highlight of 'Deiva Thirumagal'.

Anushka as an advocate and Amala Paul besides a huge star cast that includes Nasser, Santhanam and M S Bhaskar among others have given their best on screen.

Krishna (Vikram), who has the mental maturity of a five-year-old, works in a chocolate factory in Ooty. His wife delivers a baby girl and dies. The girl, Nila (Sara) is brought up in his own way by Krishna.

He showers all his love and care on her. But fate takes a quick turn. Nila's grandfather Rajendran (Sachin Khedkar), a powerful and influential man in society, enters the scene. Fearing that his grand daughter is not safe under a mentally-challenged dad, he takes away the girl from Krishna.

His other daughter Shwetha (Amala Paul) takes care of the child. Krishna runs from pillar to post to get back his daughter. He gets acquainted with advocate Anuradha (Anushka) and Vinod (Santhanam), her junior.

They listen to Krishna's past and promise that they would do their best to get back the custody of Nila. Bashyam (Nasser), a leading advocate, appears for Rajendran. The rest is legal battle and arguments in court and who wins at last.

It is one of the best performances by Chiyaan Vikram. Right from the first scene when he is thrown on street till the last court sequence, he is there playing his part well. Anyone who watches the movie will love Krishna. Such is Vikram's performance as he brings out the innocence of the character well. As a father, friend and guide, he is scintillating.

Sarah is rare find. She is cool in her emotions and performs with ease. It's a different Anushka in 'Deiva Thirumagal'. No glamor but leaves a mark with her decent portrayal.

Amala Paul impresses in few scenes. There is Nasser, playing his part as advocate and Santhanam is good not just in humor but also in emotional scenes.

Nirav Shah's extraordinary visuals and G V Prakash Kumar's music are life and blood to the tale. Na Muthukumar's lyrics add pep to the songs. Vijay has handled things in a mature manner. He is sure to leave an impression.

With engrossing performance by Vikram, backed by strong technical team, the movie is sure to impress you, despite the fact it is predictable in parts.

Great cast delivers an almost perfect performance

[nanda-ramesh · 8/10 · 12 September 2011]

Once in a while, we get a Tamil movie where the production crew genuinely try to deliver without the worry of it being a commercial success get in the way. I thought this was one of them, even though, it is a remake of the English Movie "I am Sam". I have only read the summary of the original and it looks like the the story deviated quite a bit to suit Indian viewers for this one.

I thought the strength of the movie was the casting. Everyone fit their role and acted superbly with the accolades going to Vikram as Krishna, Baby Sara as Vikrams daughter Nila and Anushka as Anuradha the lawyer in that order. The script is fairly tight with the comedy scenes kept within limit and no fights!

The movie opens with Krishna searching for Nila in Chennai. He is then found by Anuradha and her partner who decide to help him. We get to know why he is on the streets searching for Nila in a flashback. That story is about this mentally-challenged Man, Krishna, with the maturity of a child. He works as a helper in a chocolate factory in Ooty. He is blessed with a baby girl but loses his wife during birth. Somehow with the help of a friendly worker wife he manages to get her to school age. Here trouble starts and we end up with the starting scene. The 2nd half of the movie is about how he finds her and fights to get back his daughter.

==== SPOILER ALERT : ENDING REVEALED BELOW ====

To me, the story, plot and screen play was more or less very good, for a Tamil movie. There were no silly dialogs or too much emotion or unnecessary violent scenes just to shock. Maybe some of the initial comedy with the van driver suspecting his wife was a bit too much and took away from the story. Some reviews have said 1st half is slow, but I did not think so. The court scenes were OK but lacked in depth and complexity given the difficult case of child custody to a mentally- challenged parent. They had a wonderful opportunity to study this social dilemma with this background but missed it.

The reason I have given only 8 stars is that I was absolutely stunned with how the director chose to end the movie. It is unbelievable that any person sane or otherwise would fight for his child so much and then after one night, just one night!, choose to return the child to his dead wife's family who gave him no respect whatsoever until then. This he did apparently based on one chastising speech by the opposing lawyer where he questions his capability to bring up the child, though the movie itself provides enough instances where he is shown to be quite capable!

I sincerely believe, the directory or script writer, chose this ending just to to make it unexpected, as most audience at that point thought he will keep custody by marrying Anuradha..or worst case opt for joint custody with his in-laws to safeguard the future of Nila. But no! They wanted to give that final emotional punch to the gut, so to speak, by making him sacrifice his ultimate desire and give back Nila. The story ends abruptly after this sequence..with no clue given as to how Nila felt about this or what happened to her eventually. It is left to the viewers imagination. Unbelievable decision. After an emotional roller- coaster ride where the hero finally wins the court-case, this was absolutely the stupidest ending possible. It also reflects poorly on the social message that even though a mentally-challenged person took care of his child well.... he is better off giving her up to strangers(to the child) for a supposedly better chance in life.

If the director or anybody associated with this movie read this, I urge them to consider this suggestion when releasing the DVD if they have shot footages of an alternate ending(which I suspect they have). Give both the endings.. one as in the theater release.. and another where he gets to keep her and is successful or at the least shares custody with his in-laws. Let the viewer decide what to watch!

If not for that ending, this would have been a movie for the ages. Now I cannot think of watching it again being aware of the idiotic way it ends!

Eternal sunshine of spotless mind

[sribornagain-394-460163 · 7/10 · 17 June 2012]

"I am Sam " is one of the best movies done on the subject of a person with subnormal intelligence & issues of child custody associated with the same. The movie had one of the best performances ever by Sean Penn & was realistic to the core with a pragmatic ending. When an Indian adaptation of the same is made one might not think of anyone other than KamalHassan or Vikram to reprise the role. Also it would invariably have all those additive elements that a commercially viable movie should have according to trade.

"Deiva Thirumagal" is an adaptation of "I am Sam" presented in a palatable manner for the Tamil audience. With judicious mixture of melodrama , feel-goodedness , mindless comedy , comic-book song sequence & excellent acting , "Deiva Thrirumagal" has in it to become a commercial hit. Though the movie is "filmy" to the core Vijay has managed to present a tale which intrinsically has the danger of getting boring in an interesting manner. Never once in the 2 hour 30 minute stay in the theater one gets uninterested in the proceedings.

Vikram is excellent in his portrayal of the protagonist with subnormal intelligence. There is always a danger of portraying such a character either comically or theatrically but Vikram has managed it with élan. The body language , dialog delivery & demeanor clinically depicts the joy , agony , anger & sorrow of the character of Krishna , a grown up child with the mental age of 5.

Anushka is adequate in her role of a struggling young lawyer who takes up the protagonist's case. Amala Paul has nothing much to do while Nasser is as good as ever. Shanthanam is comical with his characteristic one liners.

The supporting cast are good .

Nirav Shah's cinematography is outstanding as ever. Technically the movie is brilliant.

Vijay has once again vindicated that he is one of the most promising young director in Tamil cinema today with his "Deiva Thirumagal " which is a worthy follow-up to his brilliant "Madarasapatinam".

On the whole , "Deiva Thirumagal" is a must watch especially to Savior Vikram's acting.

Bottomline : Eternal sunshine of spotless mind.

Lovely

[janakiselvam-26733 · 10/10 · 27 January 2022]

A must watch movie for all the parents. The bond between Vikram sir and the daughter was phenomenal and what an acting Vikram sir. Just no words to describe your talent sir. Stunning performance. Music is equally good. Well done team.

I am Sam in Tamil

[chanrockz · 6/10 · 12 September 2011]

The film is good but it is a perfect remake of Hollywood Movie "I AM SAM " except some changes to the script in order to suit our audience.

There is a song in this movie " PAPA PAAPA PAPA PAPA".. song is taken from the introduction song of cartoon movie "ROBIN HOOD (1973).

There is a scene in this movie , Vikram fell down to floor The same scene is in the English version I am Sam acted by SHAUN PENN.

ALSO ACTING OF VIKRAM + HIS HAIR STYLE + HIS BODY LANGUAGE IS inspired from the character portrayed BY SHAUN PENN in I AM SAM.

Rest is the sentimental movie but worth watching this Tamil version and it is a really a family entertainer.

I am Sam

[casmacu · 4/10 · 18 July 2011]

Film is good on the whole. But totally inspired from the Hollywood flick "I am Sam". One can not compare both films. It is clear that 1 and hour movie is stretched to 3 hours which at some points make viewers uncomfortable. I really appreciate camera quality and the effort taken by the casts, especially the little kid. Santhanam has improved his acting far better than any of his. Anushka,Nasar and the rest of the crew had justified their roles. Ultimately film is good to watch once , but advised not to for those who have seen "I am Sam" already. You will love the film when you ignore the 'stagnating story' part and unnecessary songs. Vijay is worth a director to Tamil industry.
