Kodi

Movie Marathon V.3 # 196

After the debacle of Thodari and Thangamagan, Ace Actor Dhanush is back with the powerpacked performance in directorial venture of R.S. Durai Senthil Kumar.

The Story revolves around the twin brothers Kodi and Anbu, their lives, love interests and their fight against a toxic Mercury dumping factory in the township.

Dhanush's performance was top notch. He was too brilliant in both characters. Trisha, WOW, she delivered her career best performance. Dubbing was the only negative in her performance. Anupama who .debuted in Premam was the real surprise for me that she acted out in ease. Karunas, though in a small role, but was good. Sharanya, as usual a good mother character was an easy job.

The movie had some clichés but the story and screenplay was engaging. Durai did an excellent job in narrating this story. The first half was good with romance, comedy and some action and turns into a serious one in the second. Santhosh Narayanan's Background Score added spice to this flick. Songs were hummable and the background score was really apt to the play. Action Choreography fared well. Camera-work, Lighting all worked well ..

All in whole, an above average and engaging Political Thriller with mesmerizing performances from Trisha & Dhanush

My rating 7 on 10

Kodi is a different movie for dhanush, where he is playing a dual role, one as a politician and other as normal person working in college, he is seen good on screen with some good dialogues and romance in the first half of the movie in politician character ,the story turns up with a good challenging thrill from second half while he opposes the opponent his love with complex problems, good twists in story line to thrill the movie,there are no good songs and comedy track is weak, Rerecording is OK, anupama's role is OK for one pair in which she entertain in comedy on few scenes in first half , but main highlight is Trisha's performance in second half , playing a negative role awesome role for her in the movie.

Dhanush and Trisha nailed it!

Good Music by SANA.
