Vijay Chandar is an Indian film director who is known for directing the Tamil-language film Vaalu (2015).
Career
Vijay Chandar made his directorial debut with Vaalu (2015).[1] The film began production in 2012 and released in 2015 after much delay.[2][3] The film marked Silambarasan's return after a three year hiatus and released to positive reviews.[4] A critic stated that "Overall, Vaalu is yet another romantic action entertainer which is watchable just for STR’s energetic screen presence and his comic chemistry with Santhanam".[5] Chandar's next film was Sketch (2018) starring Vikram.[6] The film received mixed reviews upon release but the film was a commercial success.[7][8] The film also marked the return of Vikram after one year.[8] A critic wrote that "A predictable action drama that ends up star-worshipping its protagonist a tad too much".[9] His next film was Sangathamizhan (2019) with Vijay Sethupathi, which released to negative reviews.[10][11] A critic noted that " But the weakly written villain characters, with miscast actors who never make us feel like they could be a threat to the protagonist, and the sameness of the stunt scenes pull the film down, leaving it lacking punch".[11]
