REVIEW 

Vil Ambu is a Tamil-language thriller film written and directed by Ramesh Subramaniam and presented by Suseenthiran. The film features Sri, Harish Kalyan, Samskruthy Shenoy, Srushti Dange and Chandini Tamilarasan in the leading roles, while Harish Uthaman plays a pivotal supporting role. The film features music by Navin. 

STORY 

The story is set in Coimbatore in which Karthi (Sri) plays the role of a ruffian and a petty thief. Arul (Harish Kalyan), who dreams of making a career in photography, joins IT due to his parents' pressure. Both the characters live in the same locality. Shrushti Dange will be seen in the role of Kalyan's love interest and Samskriti is the leading lady of Sri in "Vil Ambu".

Karthi and Arul's lives are inter-linked even though they never meet until the end. How their good and bad moments are connected form the crux of the story.

PERFORMANCE

Lead actors performance is essential to the movie success and here, all persons who played lead roles have performed well. Romance of the hero and heroine can attract the youth well and emotional scenes also made well.

It will definitely be a watchable movie and in all elements like locations, emotionally, romantically, cinematography and editing etc, the movie has been made wonderfully. Music is really an asset of the movie.

The movie has an interesting plot. But a good film making need something beyond an interesting plot, and they call it "a clear cut execution".

It’s okay for audiences to get confused by the intelligence of the director but if the filmmaker himself indulges with too many subplots and forgets the core story, chances are there for the ship to sink deep. Performance wise, Sri steals the show with his local slang and perfect body language while Harish Kalyan is just adequate in the first half and shines well as the rejected youngster in the second half.

Srushti Dange is just there for namesake with scary makeup while Chandini scores well in few scenes. It will not be an exaggeration to say that Yogi Babu is the main reason behind the occasional laughter in this plodding screenplay.
