Vellitherai - Genuine critique on the star centric culture
‘Vellithirai’ takes a sharp and critical look at the way the male stars dominate the film world. It has been done in a telling manner with satirical element. Thankfully, the movie hasn’t overlooked the reality element in its pursuit of providing an entertainer.Director Viji and his team have lived up to the expectation in bringing out the Tamil adaptation of Mohanlal starrer Malayalam flick ‘Udhayananu Tharam’.- by indiaglitz.com03/19/2008
Vellithirai Movie Review
Vellithriai, the Tamil remake of Malayalam’s Udayananu Tharam, lacks the original’s brilliant touches, it is still entertaining to an extent. Vellithirai brings back the successful duo of Prakash Raj – Prithviraj together and the combination works well, if not as superbly as the legendary Mohan Lal - Srinivasan combo in 'Udhayananu Tharam'.G.V.Praskash’s melodies is really foot tapping: 'Kanavugal' canned at several beautiful locations is a visual treat.

Vellithirai Review
Vellithirai directed by Viji and produced by Prakash Raj brings out the positive and negative sides of the film industry. Vellithirai is the remake of the super hit Malayalam film Udhayanu Thaaram.
The story is about two friends who wants to make a mark for themselves in the film industry. Saravanan (Prithviraj) aspires to become a director and of course he has all the qualities to become a good director. On the contrary, his friend Kannaiya (Prakash Raj) who wants to shine as a Super star, doesn’t develop the necessary traits to become a hero. - by tamilfilmratings.com03/07/2008
Vellithirai –
Unimpressive remake
urturing the film with many realities that has been brimming about in Tamil Film Industry, Director Vijay makes pinpoint presentations of those stuffs with Vellithirai. Anything is possible when it comes to wonderland of films: an ordinary man turning into a superstar in an overnight, his supremacy executed even in fixing up of single shot and frame and dominating even the producers has been well-depicted in Vellithirai. Viji who earlier stood on the shoes on writing dialogues for much of the prior films produced by Duet movies now commences his directorial journey under the same banner. - by cinefundas.com03/07/2008
