&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
The story is set in the 1960s. Veluthambi ([[Vimal (actor)|Vimal]]) is a graduate aspiring for a government job. His father Annamalai ([[K. Bhagyaraj|Bhagyaraj]]) advises him to work temporarily for an NGO that helps in educating rural children so that he will be given a priority for a government job. Velu, although uninterested, joins the NGO and gets appointed as a teacher in a small dry village which lacks basic facilities. The entire village works for a rich landlord named JP ([[Ponvannan]]), who owns a brick factory. Velu tries to convince the villagers to send their kids to learn, but in vain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Madhiarasi ([[Ineya]]) owns a tea shop in the village with her brother (Dhashwanth) and falls in love with Velu. Also, the village kids play pranks on Velu, which irritates him. Velu understands that the villagers are exploited by JP, owing to their illiteracy by not paying them properly. Velu tries to make the villagers understand JP&amp;#039;s true colour, but they do not believe him as they see JP as their savior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the villagers understand that they are being cheated, and they demand proper payment for the bricks made by them. They also realize the value of education and send their kids to learn under Velu. Now, Velu gets a government job but turns down the offer as he prefers to continue working for the NGO, which gives him satisfaction. In a few days, he gets a letter from the NGO, stating that it is closing down due to financial difficulties. Velu worries as he is jobless and decides to work along with villagers in making bricks. The villagers come for the rescue and want him to continue as a teacher for their kids, and in turn, they agree to pay him. Velu also marries Madhi, and the movie ends with him feeling proud that the villagers understood the value of education.&lt;br /&gt;

Shortly after the release of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Kalavani]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which emerged a [[sleeper hit]], Sarkunam had informed that he had &amp;quot;a couple of scripts in mind&amp;quot; and was discussing with his team on which they should work next, while stating that it &amp;quot;most probably&amp;quot; will not be set in a village again.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-07-19/news-interviews/28314602_1_film-critics-first-film-tamil-cinema |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120915014623/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-07-19/news-interviews/28314602_1_film-critics-first-film-tamil-cinema |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 September 2012 |title=Sarkunam&amp;#039;s movie succeed at box office|date=19 July 2010 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He started working on his next project in late 2010, which he had titled as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vaagai Sooda Vaa&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, roping in [[Vimal (actor)|Vimal]], who played the lead role in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Kalavani&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, for the lead character again.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-11-18/news-interviews/28270126_1_sarkunam-debut-new-music-director |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120915014655/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-11-18/news-interviews/28270126_1_sarkunam-debut-new-music-director |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 September 2012 |title=Sarkunam&amp;#039;s all set for next|date=18 November 2010 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The film was revealed to be a [[period piece]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/62968.html |title=Vimal-Sargunam plan period film |publisher=IndiaGlitz |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiaglitz2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/64993.html |title=&amp;#039;Vaagai Sooda Vaa&amp;#039;, a time machine – Tamil Movie News |publisher=IndiaGlitz |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; set in 1966, with Sarkunam describing it as a &amp;quot;romance drama sprinkled with humour&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; while also stating it would convey a &amp;quot;much-needed&amp;quot; message.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiaglitz1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vaagai Sooda Vaa&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was Sarkunam&amp;#039;s first script and his &amp;quot;dream project&amp;quot;, which he had wanted to make his [[directorial debut]] with,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;behindwoods2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.videos.behindwoods.com/videos-q1-09/director-interview/sargunam-vimal-24-07-2011.html |title=Director Sargunam and Vimal – Tamil Cinema Director and Actor Interview |publisher=Videos.behindwoods.com |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but he had to drop the idea, since no producer was willing to produce a period film with a newcomer in the lead role.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He dismissed reports that the film was based on a Hollywood film and clarified that it was based on a scheme introduced by the Government in the sixties.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://chennaionline.com/movies/cine-buzz/20112427052451/Vaagai-Sooda-Vaa-script-is-my-own-asserts-Sargunam.col |title=&amp;#039;Vaagai Sooda Vaa&amp;#039; script is my own, asserts Sargunam |publisher=ChennaiOnline |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Vimal was identified to play a young man named Veluthambi, who had finished his [[Pre-University course|PUC]] and aspires to become a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiaglitz2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The lead female role was that of a &amp;quot;tea tender&amp;quot; of the 1960s, a person working at a [[tea shop]]. Initially [[Amala Paul]] was signed up for the role, much before the release of her critically acclaimed &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Mynaa]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/jul-11-01/amala-paul-sargunam-06-07-11.html |title=How Amala Paul Missed Out|publisher=Behindwoods |date=6 July 2011 |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, Amala, who following the release became much sought-after, was soon ousted from the project, since she started adjusting her dates as per her wishes and refused to take [[rehearsal]]s first, which Sarkunam did not agree with.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;behindwoods2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; She was replaced by a Malayali model-turned-actress Ineya, who had previously appeared in several Malayalam films and the 2011 Tamil film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Yuddham Sei]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; under her original name Shruthi.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|author=Nikhil Raghavan |url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article2330555.ece |title=Arts / Cinema : Itsy Bitsy |work=The Hindu |location=India |date=6 August 2011 |access-date=10 November 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ineya had been rejected at first, but was later approved by Sarkunam, when she visited his office during a Chennai trip and showed keen interest in the project and the role.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;behindwoods2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Director-cum-actors [[K.

&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to what Sarkunam had initially planned, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vaagai Sooda Vaa&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, too, was a story set in a village. Seenu, an assistant [[Sabu Cyril]], took care of the art direction and erected a set of a village of 1 crore worth, near [[Aruppukottai]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;behindwoods1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The team had further conducted extensive historical research to create an authentic portrayal of the 1960s. Programmes that were aired on [[Radio Ceylon]], which most people during that time were listening to, were imitated, with mimicry artists being roped in to reproduce the voices of the broadcasters of that time.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Critical reception ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Times of India]] gave 4/5 for the music and stated &amp;quot;M Ghibran joins the list of debut composers who have impressed with their work in recent times. The music score complements the movie, and marks him out as a musician to watch out for.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/tamil/Vaagai-Sooda-Vaa/movie-review/10206941.cms | work=The Times of India| title=Vaagai Sooda Vaa}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Karthik Srinivasan from milliblog gave &amp;quot;A 200 for a debutant composer after a long time in Tamil!&amp;quot; and commented that &amp;quot;Vaagai Sooda Vaa’s soundtrack is a brilliant achievement – the music is refined and layered, something that is rarely expected out of a debut! Hats off, Ghibran!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Karthik |url=http://itwofs.com/milliblog/2011/07/01/vaagai-sooda-vaa-music-review-tamil-ghibran/ |title=Vaagai Sooda Vaa (Music review), Tamil – Ghibran by Milliblog! |publisher=Itwofs.com |date=1 July 2011 |access-date=5 August 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Malathai Rangarajan from [[The Hindu]] wrote that &amp;quot;Music is another highlight. M. Gibran&amp;#039;s numbers keep ringing in your ears long after you leave the cinema&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article2503919.ece | location=Chennai, India | work=The Hindu | first=Malathi | last=Rangarajan | title=Making a point or two | date=1 October 2011 | access-date=14 December 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111211011406/http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article2503919.ece | archive-date=11 December 2011 | url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Rajagopalan Badrinarayanan from musicperk.com wrote &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Vaagai Sooda Vaa&amp;#039; is a wholesome package with wonderful songs. Being his first movie Gibran has done a great job with the musical score. This movie has given him a great scope to prove his potential. The album will surely reshuffle the current chart&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.musicperk.com/vaagai-sooda-vaa/] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110919211103/http://www.musicperk.com/vaagai-sooda-vaa/ |date=19 September 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
