Yennai Arindhaal: reviews

What the critics say average 6.4 from 14 outlets

• 8.0 IBTimes IndiaNicy V.P A well written script, highly-engaging dialogues and sequences, and some well-defined performances make the latest Ajith starrer a delight to watch. Read
• 7.5 Only KollywoodSiddarth Srinivas Yennai Arindhaal is not a flawless film. There are blips here and there like an unwanted song or a clichéd scene. But they are negligible keeping the fact in mind that this is a honest attempt from the director. Read
• 7.0 The HinduKarthik Subramanian But despite those trappings, at the end of its nearly three-hour run time, Yennai Arindhaal leaves you feeling like having gone back to a well-known play you have enjoyed a few times over. Read
• 7.0 The Times of IndiaM Suganth Ultimately, the film belongs to Ajith and the star is in such fine form here. Read
• 7.0 The HinduSudhir Srinivasan A rushed climax, a problematic organ trafficking angle, a repeated plot device, a predictable ending… and yet Yennai Arindhaal comes as a breath of fresh air, especially at a time when big-budget films haven’t quite lived up to their hype. Read
• 7.0 India TVIANS Ajith's screen presence is unbelievably amazing and it takes guts for a star with a crazy fan following to do something so bold. Read
• 6.5 Movie Crow Fortunately, Gautham gets a firm grip on the script right after the interval when the story's pivotal knot is revealed. Read
• 6.5 IndiaGlitzIndiaGlitz Review Board Barring the nostalgic moments from his previous movies and the slow screenplay Yennai Arindhaal is a rock solid entertainer with enough scenes to get you hooked. Read
• 6.0 Rediff.comS Saraswathi The backdrop is new, and the plot engaging but the characters, the situation, and even the dialogues are reminiscences of his previous cop films. Read
• 6.0 Deccan ChronicleAnupama Subramanian The movie is largely carried by the hero and villain: Ajith and Arun. Their performance does an admirable job in keeping you glued when parts of the film were getting rather thin. Read
• 6.0 FilmibeatAvinash Though Yennai Arindhaal reminds us about Gautham's previous movies especially the romance scene between Ajith and Trisha, Ajith and Arun Vijay's performance saves the film and averts a major disaster. Read
• 6.0 BehindwoodsBehindwoods Review Board Finally, Gautham should be credited for making a movie not for Ajith fans, but one which Ajith's fans will enjoy! Read
• 5.0 Onmanorama There is nothing new that excites you and you can just about manage to sit through it. Read
• 4.0 Hindustan TimesGautaman Bhaskaran What is more, the movie is just one more addition to the countless cop dramas. There is just nothing, nothing novel in it that you could have taken home. Read
