Deiva Thirumagal presents itself as a much awaited movie of 2011 for people to know whether the movie will bag a best performance in all sides or it is better than the original version Hollywood flick “I am Sam”.
If you haven’t watched I am Sam before, then this film would be a impressing film for the Tamil audience. But if you do, then you may be ended up with disappointment like I do.The saddest part is there are no due credit given to the original version and many of the scenes are looted as it looks like in the previous.
The remaking job is not as easy as it needs a special effort to sculpt your mind with other’s chisel. There is no sin in bringing a master piece to every set of audience nevertheless in what language the film is.
AL Vijay did a good job in presenting a story with almost major alteration in the 2nd half screenplay to do reflect as the story is occurring between Krishna and Nila.
Chiyaan Vikram proves again as an ace actor by representing himself as mentally disable person with the behavior of 6 years old kid.There are few scenes where the screen will get blur until your hands wipes off your tears. We will get a felling of crying only if we travels along with the character, no doubt Chiyaan will make us to travel.
The classy part is the conversation between the Vikram and a cute girl Baby Sarah which will melts your heart. The Baby girl is so elegant and did better than Dakota fanning in English version.Before Intermission, either Vikram performance or Anushka’ one, I was literally visualized to Sean Penn & Michelle Pfeiffer respectively. After the interval, Chiyaan stands off and instructs this is my film.One of the plus factors to the film is GV Prakash’s music as it turns minus too for his repetitive copy cat. Proof here.
Overall, it was a good attempt in presenting the Hollywood film in the smell of Kollywood at almost.
Trivia: I am Sam part was unofficially remade in Bollywood in the name of Main Aisa Hi Hoon. When comparing with this Deiva Thirumagal is far better with some changes.
Deiva Thirumagal, a perfect classy film which will make you wipes your eyes.

even few songs too copied sir. i did not see "I am sam". I saw small video of "i am sam" where sean penn would fell naturally in court scene when he wants to meet his daughter. In dheiva thirumagal vikram did not do justice in that scene
Yes. The songs also copied. It is a perfect film for the vikram's audience if they have had watched the original version yet!!!
