Vaazha-Biopic of a Billion Boys review
If you are fond of films revolving around friendship (let’s say Dil Chahta Hai, Rock On), then you will relate to the characters in Vaazha. The film has subtle funny moments which will leave you rolling on the floor. It does have some really emotional moments that will leave your eyes moist. It is a simple story of five friends, which you will argue that has been shown on the silver screen to death, but Vaazha does stay within you after having watched the film.
