Reviews Critique AI Use in 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai' and Highlight Flaws in 'Anbil Avan'
The film 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai,' directed by Ram and starring Nivin Pauly and Soori, has drawn criticism for its extensive and seemingly unrefined use of AI-generated visuals, which many reviewers feel detracts from the storytelling. The plot centers on an immortal man and a mortal passenger trapped together on a train, blending fantasy and realism. Critics note the film's potential was undermined by its AI reliance and emotional distance. Separately, 'Anbil Avan,' a Tamil romantic thriller, is praised for its initial promise but criticized for a prolonged, action-heavy climax that tests audience patience.
