So much average

just watch it!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

PARADESIGENRE: DRAMARATING: 4.5/5PARADESI-BALA---Two big names that will never be forgotten by Indian cinema forever. The film is unmitigatedly a ONE-MAN show. The name behind the film is sufficient to measure the quality of it. Now coming to the controversial teaser, it's dejecting to see that even the fraternity is not capable of understanding the logic and its purpose. It's greatly disappointing to hear stuff about violating human rights and also highly obtuse if they don't understand the pain that has been suffered and efforts put into the film by the director.Firstly, to film a script based on a period-novel requires an enormous level of maturity and brilliance in film making which can be done only by few directors in India. BALA—being one of the best mindful trend-setters in cinema, has proved it again. Technically, chezhiyan accomplished a superlative task with a higher plane of photography and also with the shades of colors used in the film which has done a complete justice for a epic-period-creation of this quality. Photography is surely next level and tailor-made for international accolades. MUSIC is intensely synchronizing and pertinent to the epic-illustrations though it could have been better. It is purely coherent that the script was plainly over-matured and hard-hitting for GV's age and experience. Reverent salutes to the director for experimenting his finest with sprouting talents. Vairamuthu's lyrics are strikingly poignant and vehemently penned for the spectators to experience the veracious anguish and dolor that our fellow beings experienced.Coming to the artists' performance, which is the signature-asset of Bala's films, he extracted a meritorious output. Atharva, with his sterling performance made it totally infeasible for the audience to stifle the tears. The climax sequence was incontrovertibly world-class and Atharva managed to deliver an ultimate execution and Vedhicka simply OUTDID Dhanshika with her incomparable piece of acting for her expressions and gestures were totally superior. Jerry made an excellent concussion with the gallery. The supporting cast and junior artists did their job to perfection. ##Not taking anything away from the actors, the credit goes to director Bala for squeezing the flairs from them which they were unaware of. Bala, still remains an expert for his inventiveness in molding actors for cinema. It's undoubtedly the best film of the year.PARADESI--In conclusion, it's a Bala film which is becoming to be better than any other genres in Indian cinema.# Epitome of Quality# Personifies the Gothic phenomenon "PAIN"# Vigorous characterization---the film makes your heart cords vibrate and every frame tends to connect with us.

A milestone in Tamil cinema! Bala has done complete justice to the story and plot he has chosen to showcase.A movie that will make you travel with every character for almost 2 hours and for sure at some point you will feel you are in the same world they are in, which itself is enough to say why Bala is a master of story teller. Bala has told this story about the Indian slaves in tea estate in his usual style - raw and rustic, not compromising his views for any commercial reasons, very daring particularly when portraying the intentions of Christian missionaries. Whatever he wanted his viewers to feel, he achieved with his perfection Every artist in this movie, we must say, has lived their character.Lead character in this movie is just one among the slaves, a innocent who cant even stand for himself, leads a lowerly life of waiting for food and his own independence most of his time. Bala just thrashes the formula we held ourselves for movies and heroes once again. Music, cinematography adds strength to the movie I personally feel Bala's best is yet to come. Eagerly awaiting his next one

Im New to Tamil movies and I've heard bala sir's name during the release of Naan Kadavul .I've never watched any of his movies before, but heard a lot. Coming to Paradesi , All i would say is Wow. The story is inspired from the Novel "Red Tea" By Paul Harris, Which explains about the life of innocent people from the villages, who were cheated that they would be paid high wages for their work but sadly they are being abused. Bala sir have been writing his own scripts for his movies but now he made this novel as a movie. To all the people out there, This ain't called Copying. No one can Deliver this story as perfect as bala sir. He did it exceptionally well in the direction part. Some May think that the climax could've been well, Like the hero Fighting against the British, Escaping from the place , Blah blah blah , like the other stupid action movies. Don't be stupid people! bala sir has just finished the movie so well, because Do you think a Slave can fight against the Huge men ? And the British? You think its possible? C'mon he's not Chuck norris. The way he delivered the story, the way he made his actors act , the way he made the movie , cannot be done by the other directors, No Offence! Hats off to bala sir for his exceptional work. I wish he gives us more quality movies like this rather than doing commercial movies. he never did commercial, but He Shouldn't do either. We want movies like this from you. I'm speechless after watching Paradesi !

I am the big fan of bala.I have watched this movie in PVR vadodara. movie stays on my expectation. Every actor who acted in this movie has done wonderfully. Atherva and thansika worth to get awards. The Granny character steal the show of first part of the movie.. The villains (both kankani and British character )acting are really good. Climax performance of atherva was really hard hitting and ensures the tears.As a directer bala succeeds but not above the Naan Kadavul or Pithamagan director. Camera and music sink very well with movie. They make you that you are not watching the movie but part of the story.Vairamuthu written very well and this year definitely he will get national award for this movie. You can be proud that you are fan of Bala. Ther are negatives points. Like Some filthy jokes.
