Irandam Ulagam released world wide over 1200 screens in Tamil and Telugu versions.
Irandam Ulagam says
that Love is everywhere. It is here and in the unseen worlds. The thought of
love itself is beautiful and Selvaraghavan's latest movie Irandam Ulagam takes
it to the next level. But let me warn you that it is an esoteric work that
could be a trap for regular audience! Having said that it has an alluring magic
of visuals that will enchant you. Irandam Ulagam has two separate worlds and it
is about the stories that unfold in a parallel universe. Selvaraghavan narrates
the two tales with eye-pleasing visuals. Ramya (Anusha Shetty) has a liking
towards Madhu Balakrishnan (Arya), but he initially refuses her offer for
marriage. But in the dream world, Arya tries to woo Anushka. The story keeps
juggling between the love story of dream world and the tale set here, the place
where we are living. After turning down Ramya's offer, Madhu falls in love with
her and approaches her to marry her, but this time, she rejects his offer
citing that she has found another man. How he tries to win her heart and change
her stand form the crux of their story. In the other world, Arya struggles to
impress Anushka, who is a tough woman. There is also a plot of two clans
fighting over Amma (mother love). The story takes a little interesting turn
when Arya, on Earth, meets the people of other world.
The Biggest Drawback
The Biggest Drawback
The biggest drawback
could be slow narration of the story in the first half. While the imaginary
world raises curiosity, Selva's other plot struggles to keep you engaged.
Second Better Than First Half The second half is better than the first half with the entire story running in the imaginary world. However, when we consider the movie as a whole, Selvaraghavan could have churned out a tight screenplay, as the pace/plots doesn't generate interest to watch the movie.

Music
Harris Jayaraj has
teamed up with Selvaraghavan for the first time and the result is just
brilliant! Four songs - 'En kaadhal thee', 'Mannavane en mannavaney',
'Vinnaithaandi anbe vandhai' and 'Panangkalla veshamulla' - are good in the
album.
BGM
BGM
Anirudh Ravichander's
background score is average and he only shines at parts. Harris would have done
a better job than this as he understood the concept of Irandam Ulagam.
Cinematography
One would run short of
words to describe Ramji's cinematography in Irandam Ulagam. Excellent piece of
camera work, and VFX sequences, at parts, are wonderful.
Verdict: Full marks to the technical brilliance of Irandam Ulagam. Absollutly a must watch movie
