A Salutation for Womanhood
Review by: IndiaGlitz.com
Critic ReviewRating: 7.0 / 10
Karthick Subbaraj has chosen a subject, entirely different from his previous work and throughout the first half keeps the audience in a stranglehold grip and then in the climax delivers all the punches to drive home his themes of loyalty, brotherhood, deception, betrayal and most importantly ,feminism. He deserves kudos for his dialogues especially those mouthed by Pooja, Bobby and Surya that cut deep through the male dominated beliefs of the society.
Karthik Bites More Than He Can Chew!

Iraivi is an honest attempt by Karthik Subbaraj. But it looks like the director has bitten off more than he can chew.
Tales of men, women and their relationships

Critic ReviewRating: 5.5 / 10
To watch Iraivi, you need a lot of patience and complete trust in the director that the ride will be worth it at the end. If you could stay with the director till the end credits, there is definitely some pay-off. But, the investment you need to make for that is not commensurate to the pay-off you will eventually get. The women in the film end up being portrayed as victims of rash decisions made by men rather than showing up as strong '<em>manidhis'</em>, far cry from <em>'iraivis' as the title suggests.
Vijay Sethupathi might not excite you but what he does fits right in the bar.

You cannot enjoy the rain without actually getting drenched! So don't shut yourself down if you hear that it is not an out and out entertainer, rather make yourself vulnerable to this work and you will not regret it.
