Critics bowled over by Vada Chennai’s international premiere in Pingyao festival
Critics have been bowled over by Dhanush’s Vada Chennai, which had its international premiere in Pingyao International Film Festival a few days back in China.
Here at the Pingyao Int’l Film Festival, it’ll be hard to top Vetri Maaran’s fiercely energetic, delightfully convoluted hoodlum melodrama, NORTH CHENNAI, starring the great Dhanush. A top-notch world premiere from Tamilnadu. The first part of a planned trilogy—keep ‘em coming!

Vetrimaaran’s #VadaChennai had its world premiere last night at Pingyao film festival #PYIFF A frenzied, chaotic loop around the world of “rowdies”, its “bloody” good. What reached out to me most between its frantic frames is the political allegory… @the_hindu @TheHinduCinema

And no one gets the “common man” better than #Dhanush… World is indeed curious about the “Tamil Godfather”… #VadaChennai
