Seethakaathi

An interesting fantasy story which is new to tamil cinema. A fiction can go in any dimension and it's one of that kind. Vijay Sethupathy's drama artist performance is not justifying enough esp. In dialogue delivery part. Director's approach of dragging scenes like a typical Tv serials is disappointing. Background music is is good and blends with scenes well. Hats off to the director for bringing out best in every supporting actors.

Too much melodrama!

Ayya's character is not strong enough or not built well to showcase his acting/art. Vijay Sethupathi has his own way of dialog delivery, which spoils the Classical Tamil dialog and not attaching to drama stage. All actors played well. We can see how hard it is to take a simple shot for a movie. But core of the story is not enough to touch.

Set against the backdrop of live theatre and it's dwindling, Vijay Sethupathi sets the ball rolling for the unfolding of an artsy slow-paced movie. With ample opportunity for showcasing theatrical performances, multiple different actors present mind blowing evenly interspersed performances, elevating the movie like a slowly rising tsunami. Vijay Sethupathi has given a brilliant performance and established his character's aura to last the movie. Multi-layered treatment of the movie transcends layers across the stage drama, the movie and the audience easily and masterfully. With masterful presentation and some amazing natural acting, the movie puts forward a bold postulate pretty convincingly. Slowly shot long scenes communicate the drudgery of movie making pretty well. However, somewhere down the line, the concept was pushed a bit too far and the movie lost me. There were scenes that rolled by, disengaged. However, there were sheer strokes of brilliance in the beginning of the movie. Just like the awesome potential of the movie Joseph did not get it's deserved due with a preachy court room ending where the movie just reads out in plain text what it wants to say, this movie took the exact same approach. A judge to read out concluding remarks much like a vote of thanks.



Vijay Sethupathi's makeup work has been impressive. It is a pretty unique movie but does not really offer any incisive insights that it promised at it's start.

VJS 25th film. World cinema's only actor who can act so natural. He deserves all the awards for this movie.

" Even if the artist disappears, his art does not disappear !... "

There will always be some things going on in my life to make this word come out again and again !. This is one of the things that matters!
