BAIRAVAA MOVIE REVIEW
Bairavaa is an action entertainer that talks about a daring debt collector who ends up fighting a hard-core educational field criminal. It is expected to be an unapologetic mass movie that can only be enjoyed and not analysed. So does Bairavaa satisfy the masses? Glance down to know!
After experimenting a little with his performances in his recent outings, Vijay has come out with an out and out commercial action movie, just to treat his hardcore fan base for this Pongal. Yet another energetic performance from Vijay! But one feels his voice modulation sounds very artificial in some places. Beside this, there is hardly anything to complain about Vijay. If there is one thing that makes you watch the film without frowning till the very end, that would be Vijay’s screen presence.
The film travels 20 minutes without Vijay during the flashback portion, a rarity in his films. A gutsy move by the team! Though the flashback is predictable and passable, it helps to create tension and also gives good build up to the villain. The film takes time to settle down, but once it gets going you get a partially satisfactory ride till the mid-point. Pre-climax fight happens to be one of the high points of the film. Post mid way mark, the film resorts to an over beaten screenplay pattern. A couple of impressive scenes here and there keep you alert. It falls flat towards the end and does not excite you.
Keerthy Suresh, as Vijay’s love interest, plays a good natured and gleeful girl next door. It is nice to see the actress establishing a style for herself in such a short span. She has a peculiar set of expressions which works quite well for the character. She has tried her hands on the 'Nellai' dialect but it isn't consistent. Jagapathi Babu, Daniel Balaji and Thambi Ramaiah bring their experience on to the table. Sathish could not manage to evoke laughter like his previous films.
Few scenes looked over dramatized and could have been toned down. Sukumar has shown Vijay in dynamic angles and it has elevated his mass aspects adequately. The action scenes in particular were well choreographed, thanks to Anl Arasu. Few CGI and set works looked tacky. There were lip sync issues too especially during the early stages of the film. Vijay's toupee, an already exposed flaw spoilt the looks of naturally charming Vijay.
'Varlaam vaa' bgm works so well with the visuals but other RR's hardly make an impact. A couple of BGM looks to be heavily inspired from Hollywood OST's. Song placement of ‘papa papa’ looks force fitted.

BAIRAVAA SONGS REVIEW
Review by : Behindwoods Review Board Album Release Date : Dec 23,2016 Pattaya Kelappu
Singer: Ananthu
Special Mention On Backing Vocals: Benny Dayal
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
The composition is loaded with a groovy tape beats with a striking rendition of Ananthu and an able support of Benny Dayal. While the Nadhaswaram interludes add a beautiful detail to the song, Santhosh’s trademark usage of synths adds another dimension to the track. On the whole the track is all set to be a perfect introduction song, where one would possibly see Vijay enchanting the audience with his moves.
Nillayo
Singer: Haricharan
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
The composition which begins and travels with an engaging strings arrangement is more likely to be a breezy romantic track. Haricharan, as usual, makes his rendition sound effortless. The solo violin interlude is exquisite and the guitar riffs carry the track elegantly.
Azhagiya Soodana Poovey
Singer: Vijaynarain, Dharshana Kt
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
The perfect Santhosh Narayanan composition, Azhagiya Soodana Poovey has the elements to enthrall. A funky track with a mixture of EDM elements, supported by Napier Peter’s sublime bass playing, is the major highlight, while the Jazz-based Saxophone and Violin give a unique tone to this rather addictive experiment. Vijaynarain and Dharshana have rendered their parts in a profound manner.
Papa Papa
Singer: Ilayathalapathy Vijay, Priyadarshini Special Mention: Ananthu
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
A power-packed composition with the intense use of tapes and over-driving guitar parts and riffs will make you move. Yet again the bass guitar takes the song to a whole new level. Priyadarshini and Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s voice complement the track and is the perfect dose of entertainment his fans need.
Varlaam Varlaam Vaa
Tamil Rap A Verses: Arunraja Kamaraj English Rap A Verses: Roshan Jamrock
What looks to be the theme track of Bairavaa, Varlaam Varlaam Vaa is yet another feather in the crown of Arunraja Kamaraj, who has been in the spree of delivering some engaging theme songs since Neruppu Da. Roshan Jamrock renders his part to perfection in this adrenaline driving composition.
