Performances in the film : Vishal is back with a bang he has done an outstanding performance. Arya has also done equally good with his easing performance his humor part is an adding flavour of film. heroines Madhu and Janani have done the best in their roles.Ambika and Jayapradha in mother role have excelled . R K as baddie is a perfect fit to the role. Ananth Vaithyanathan as father of Arya and Vishal has did well in his innocent husband character. G M Kumar G. M. Kumar evoked outstanding humor and he is the big plus for comedy scenes.
Surya in cameo role comes to a public meeting and explains about his Agaram Foundation and its operatins.
Totally the movie's credits goes to Bala , an outstanding and brilliant direction throughout the film.Music by Yuvan is good.But Avan Ivan does not stand in par with Bala's previous movies as the expectation was much high.Avan Ivan lacks of story but the characterizations and creative orientation in visualizing the shots engages the audiences to the screens.
Avan Ivan can be enjoyed as a different experience watching a different film , A film with lots of award winning performances.
