Vaazha : Blatant glorification of manchildren is just one of the many issues with this film
Vaazha, directed by Anand Menen and featuring Siju Sunny and Joemon Jyothir, attempts to mix humor and nostalgia in a coming-of-age story. However, the film faces significant criticism for its portrayal of male characters as “manchildren.” While some viewers may find the comedy and relatable moments engaging, the movie’s underlying message seems problematic.
The central characters, often branded as “losers,” are depicted with a carefree attitude and irresponsibility, glorifying a lifestyle that impacts others negatively. Despite its humorous tone, the film raises concerns by portraying these traits in a positive light.
Critics argue that this narrative reinforces outdated stereotypes about masculinity and responsibility. Additionally, the movie’s pacing and character development have also been pointed out as weak spots, leaving audiences with mixed reactions overall.
