Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

thirusurya Shiva need not make big effort to bring in comedy in any of his dialog,It comes out very naturally.Every dialogue of him is simple and elegant,but it could be appreciated very well as these words are all very common in our conversations.His Coimbatore slang is damn good.He delivers serious matter in a funny/casual way that makes us laugh.Greeny shades ,eye-catching paintings in streets combined with superb BGM makes us not to miss a scene.All 4 four situation songs are interesting.This movie explores all means by which one can go in search for alcohol in a dry day.Finally he gets in the climax.Club scene where Shiva dances in village style ,in return John Vijay dance in funny disco style Lekha speaking in childish way is nice.SPB Charan is mix of responsible,silly and at end becomes a hero of past.Va quarter cutting Good time-pass movie or a refresher for any number of time

Seyed Askar Y Not Studios and Cloud Nine Productions together have been welcoming new ideas over the screens. It was much illustrious with their previous production 'Tamizh Padam'. Though, it wasn't an excellent movie to boast off, it had some unique values of breaking the clichés of Tamil Cinema. Yet again, the producers are back with a comedy entertainer with a simple theme with a humorous narration. But the filmmakers Pushkar-Gayathri do strain themselves over presenting visuals in a 'caricatured' and 'unnatural' manner. Gaudy colors and unwanted green tones – it's so tastelessly showy.The film opens with the prologue of different characters gonna come across each other at a night time. ATM Thieves, bunch of Anglo-Indian guys doping up in graveyard, Red Light area, a psychotic person burning down bikes, a stranger electrified to death while fixing the light on Goddess Amman's gigantic image. And then comes Sundarajan aka Sura (Shiva) heading to Chennai for his flight to Dubai at early morning. Soon as Shiva meets the job agent, he is blown out of waters to hear certain conditions in Dubai. No Alcohols, No Gals and No Pork. For Shiva, it really matters to have at least ¼ Cutting and he embarks a journey with his yet to be brother-in-law Marthandan (SP Charan) for it. Unfortunately, these guys are not lucky enough to get what they want. Rather they are exposed to unexpected twists and turns that keeps them engaged till the dawn.Don't expect a lot from this film. Make sure you aren't gonna watch the laugh-riot and please say 'No' to logics. For sure, it's not gonna delight the non-alcoholics unless you love creative themes. Well it happens at most cases during mid-night times where Chennaiites rush through the nook and corners of the city. It's a simple them that has been narrated with more characterizations. 'VA' is entertaining at few parts and that's precisely because of Shiva's one-liners. His very introduction watching Balakrishna's Telugu movie in Bus till the climax is hilarious. 'Nee Pakkaradhukku Ghajini Asin Maathiri Irukka' on SP Charan is rib-tickling. Lekha Washington's characterization is okay and the film would have done even without her role. SP Charan's comical looks and his funny character is again a plus. John Vijay's double act is too awkward and he has to avoid the same sort of roles over and again. Arya's cameo as 'Oram Po' auto racer is a surprise. Characters of Anglo-Indian guys and Police are completely unwanted.Technically, the songs are good with 'Unnai Kan Thedudhe' and 'Thediyae Thediyae' turning to be the cherry-picks. But it's disappointing to see the mediocre picturing of 'Unnai Kan Thedudhe'. Hope GVP saves such songs for some mass heroes. Nirav Shah's cinematography is good, but avoiding overdosed greenish tones would have done justice to the visuals.As mentioned earlier, 'Va Quarter Cutting' isn't a big comedy fiesta. But it's a film that will keep you engaged if watched with no expectations. Special appreciations for Pushkar-Gayathri for an interesting theme, but they could have made the film yet funnier.

drsnehithmd What can i say about the way i felt during the course of watching and post watching the movie?it was just pure exhilaration that tamil cinema has directors who think so modernly but still not losing their cultural ground.The basic premise of the movie is about a guy who comes to the city whose flight is due in the morning to one of the gulf countries.He realizes he wont be able to drink anymore let alone do any other things in that country and then from thereon he along with his soon to be brother in law starts the quest for that one quarter of happiness.Add to it some wonderful characters of gamblers,politicians,women,an 18 year old schoolgirl,car chases and a card game and you end up watching an amazing modern tamil cinema.I loved this piece of art and would not dissect the movie as i recommend all my tamil brothers to watch this awesome movie and decide for yourselves.Cinematography is just so breathtking in showing the city during the night.Direction is really good as well as the music.But what stands above everyhing else is the performances of shiva,s.p charan,lekha washington,john vijay and all the other actors,they are just amazing.A very highly recommended movie and a definite cult movie for movie enthusiastic or fanatics like us....CHEERS

aarthiramadurai A bunch of my friends dragged me to this film as I'm really skeptic about Tamil films in general, filled with melodrama and clichés... Surprise! this film was just awesome!Can be compared to the best french comedies, like Andrew Weber's, who I'm a big fan of. What's more, its set in Madras, which gives it a unique flavor and captures the spirit and people there, which no film has ever managed to in Tamil. Another cool thing, is the irreverence with which the directors have handled the characters, as opposed to most films which pack in a pseudo message! All the characters, even the minor ones have a little story/anecdote to say, which gives these characters a unique flavor and depth. The performances and casting is excellent with a whole bunch of newcomers. Some of the lines are so funny and endearing, it brings tears to your eyes while laughing. And, the locations: where did they manage to find so many lovely, colonial structures?! It's not just a comedy, which usually don't have any technical finesse. This film is a visual treat which also sounds great! The entire team should be applauded for making this unique, fantastic film! Am really looking forward to the next film from the team! And guess, I'll start watching more Tamil films, letting go off my snobbish attitude that only European and some American films are worth a watch.
