Review
The movie Avan Ivan has the lead characters walter vanagamudi (Vishal) and kumbudraensamy(Arya) and story screenplay and direction by Bala. This is the fifth fim of Bala but differs from other 4 films in the screenplay wise. Avan Ivan is the well commercial story of Bala which has nearly one and half hour the entertainment part but it portraits the real character and habits of the people lives in the villages of Theni. But in the story wise there is nothing new, the same thing said in "pithamagan". The another important thing to say is the dialogues by S.RamaKrishnan which is the only thing made the audience to sit in the chair for 2 hours.

Some of the new scenes sketched by Bala will attract the people more. In particular to say, the police inspector giving party to all thieves in the village for requesting them to stop their robberies, Arya asking Madhu Shalini to make her 'head over heals', Arya dancing with his own mom after an achievement, a hero showing all the nine emotions,etc.. are new to tamil cinema.

The back bone of the film is the characterization of Bala. First of all wanna say about Vishal (as walter vananga mudi). After watching the film every one will say " where is this Vishal previously??" .With a squint eye he played a roll of a drama artist but no where Bala showed him as a drama artist, except in 2 scenes, the opening song and the stage performance of showing all emotions.Vishal got the applause in the scene of crying in a tree at a height of 20 feet.

Arya as kumbudraen samy played a roll which is non stop speaking character. He is used fully for the entertainment purpose starting from his introduction. He slightly resembles the character of Surya in "pithamagan".

G.M Kumar acted in a roll of an old time king (called affectionately as 'Highness' by the people) who always like these two brothers. I can say that he gave a tough competition to Vishal in acting, that too before the clymax scene where he acted in nude.

Both Heroines Madhu Shalini ( as thenmozhi, a tutorial college student) and Janani Iyer(as baby, a police constable) are used just to move the story nothing more than that.

Also Ambika( vishal's mother) and Jaya Prabha (Arya's mother) were used well in first half but disappears in second half. In the first half, Jaya Prabha shines in the scene of dancing with Arya. Anand vaidyanathan (father of vishal and arya) caught between these two wives who always beating him.

The villan R.K just came only few scenes (as a cattle smuggler) but did his job nicely. Also Actor Surya made a cameo appearance in a scene which is no way related to the story but just Bala made those scenes to show the acting skill of Vishal.

Yuvan's music plays a important role in the film especially in the introduction song and clymax BGM. Also ' rasathi 'song is nice to hear.

Arthur A.Wilson 's camera showed the Vishal's squint eye well as much as possible. Suresh Urs editing is perfect especially the place where G.M Kumar acted in nude.

Out of 5 films of bala 4 got National Award, so there is more expectation for this film too. But the chance of getting award is for Vishal and Dialogue Writer S.RamaKrishnan.

AGS Entertainment's another succcesful film.

vicky's plus

• Vishal's and Arya's acting
• S.RamaKrishnan's dialogue
• Bala's new scenes
• Yuvan's BGM
• Less Runtime of less than 2 hours (excluding 2 songs)
• Scenes made audience calmness in last 20 minutes of second half

vicky's Minus

• Same storyline of previous films of Bala
• Showing the nude pose of G.M Kumar before killing might be reduced in count.
  
• Expectation created before interval was waste because it is not satisfied after interval.
