Yaathisai (2023)
3/10
Plagiarism is not only for the big films

You say the film is about Pandyas and yet you show Spartan moves, citing the Greek mercenaries who were body guards in Tamil kingdoms of yore.

Yet, the same scenes from "300" film are stolen for some action scenes. Also, the walking in front of fields is similar.. Even otherwise, famously the Greeks did not fight for the Pandyas except as palace guards as their shields and bronze full-body armour would have been incredibly hot in Indian climate. (Even the "300" film had incorrectly shown Spartan warriors to be naked, without armors. Why 'ee adicchan copy'?)

Other comments talk about scenes lifted from Viking and Apocalypto too.. Also, the "hakka dance" of New Zealand is appropriated. Is this called research work? The actors do not stick with the timeline, and many errors can be forgiven as this is a debut film

If you make a part 2, at least show Tamil culture. Where is the famous "Bodhisena" who sailed to Japan and invented a writing system there similar to Tamil? He lived in the time of Ranadheeran. (Watch "Odd Campus" channel's video on YouTube for info on him)

Lastly, Tamils never practiced the "impalement" punishment on civilians like shown.. (kaluvetru) Depicting raw scenes just for the sake of authenticity, is inauthentic in such cases. Overall, a great attempt and with higher budget, possibly can pull a miracle.
