Rocky

A bold violent thriller with raw and bloody. An unceasingly intense performance by Vasanth Ravi. Bharathiraja equated the protagonist with his role. Director Arun made it engage with his narration style. Excellent Visuals by Shreyaas Krisha, his lighting, compositions and sound design added more depth to the film. A treat for cinephiles.

Arun Matheswaran bolsters a barebones plot with scintillating visuals in a bloodthirsty film where Korean neo-noir revenge drama meets Tamil context and sensibilities. It feels like the film is set in a universe of its own, where the lives of only these characters matter. Darbuka Siva's score punctuates the crackling set-pieces and the emotional drama in between. There's not so much a plot to begin with - it just serves the purpose of bringing us to specific points where Vasanth Ravi has to beat down dozens of thugs or stylishly pull off a bullet-fest. While I admire the director's sense of craft, I'd also like to see him put flesh on the bones when it comes to the writing. Worth a watch, nonetheless!

It's a shame that the only way print available right now for this is heavily censored. The glorious arthouse violence is too cut up. But even with so many abrupt cuts, it is still an ultraviolent introspection of violence that is inherent in us. Also feels like there's more inner meaning that is related to the Tamil struggle in Sri Lanka that I may not have understood completely. But this director has made such a beautiful film with a small budget, I'm excited to watch his other films. Got to check out Saani Kaayidham and also Captain Miller from the theater this weekend. Hope they will release the uncut version some day.

Frist of any other things great direction mades along with great frames , great casting , great screen play. Although it's average and same story but what makes it a must see movie is the way it presented and the casting who made exactly like characters.

This is a detailed view of "Rocky" directed by Arun Matheswaran. This movie created some expectations with its teasers, so I thought why not give it a try. The movie starts, I felt quite uneasy for the first 15 minutes the long walk sequence was so annoying the hero walks and walks and goes on, personally felt that sequence was a glitch in a fantastic game. Other than that particular sequence nowhere I was letdown throughout the movie. What a fantastic and astonishing movie the debutant had made. This might be the best debutant work one could ever have done. Through the first half, I thought why "Barathi Raja's" role was praised it could have been done by whoever the role has been offered to, there comes the start of the second half he literally nailed the scene. Rocky, Manimaran, Sami, Nataraj, Malli(Both) and Amutha and the "poo movie person" too, are the perfect ingredients of this movie. Need to say about "Darbuk's Siva" literally am a fan of his work from Kidari, his background score I felt apt for this one. It gave vigor to the movie. DOP did a neat job. Vasanth Ravi, what a man he already proved his worth in Taramani now this tells it's not a piece of one-time luck. Arun Matheswaran did great work, now expectations for his future movies gonna be bigger, and hope he delivers better. I came through one of a person's view on this film and I liked that one it says the plot is about "our valkaiyai thulaitha manithan thanku kidaitha oru nambikaiyai kapatri kolgirana" such an wonderful take on the movie. (Its a war between "A hopeless man trying to hinge through the hope he found and the persons who trying to shatter that hope")
