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 ‘manidhis’, far cry from ‘iraivis’ as the title suggests.
