Kuthiraivaal

Quite a little, Kuthiraivaal is a surrealist, absurd, psychic mode of film and it goes slow and vivid. The subject matter of the film recollects me of a French film Holy Motors where a lot of symbolism and metaphors are there. When entering detail into the structure of the film there lies a lot of elements that resembles to the subconscious condition of human minds. The reference to baby syndrome/mirror syndrome, the importance of the preservation of nature, etc is some of the layered themes inside this movie. The movie is completely a different path of making and it only engages that kind of audience.

I gave 7 star to only cinematography and music. Because I am not able to understand what exactly writers trying to convey in this movie.

If you attempt something new, then you should explain the things as a voice over in the movie to make understand layman. Even I used to watch Martin sorceress, Hitchcock, Wes andersan, Nolan etc. But their movies are easy to understand. Because they delivered the clear plot.

My worry, i spent 1000 rs with my family for kuthiraivaal. Am not able to enjoy the story as I was not able to understand anything. Not only me. We were around 30 ppl in theatre, no one has understand the movie.

If you make movies for only intellectual then you should prepare audience before they step in to theatre.

If you don't want to explain the movie, then you should promote movie as its made for only intellectual. So, we don't watch this kind of movie.

If you are intellectual, then you better make the movie for yourself and show it to ppl whom think can understand the movie. Don't release the movie in theatre.

This movie overall looks dope. New and decent attempt. Pradeep Kumar did a great job with the background music.

If the movie was cut short to 1.5 hrs without songs and more engaging screenplay, then I might have liked it.

Since hero has a tail, he need to act like an horse humping. But he overdid it. Kalaiarasan's mannerisms irritated me more than the film.

The film is an exceptional fantasy thriller but a bit fantasy not that much of fantastic experience it gives.. Kuthiraivaal- the story it comes to deliver to us is about the dream chasing the hero of the story and about how it influences him.

Though director made a good screenplay yet it wasn't enough for a comman man to understand this one in a short duration..it needs a little more to understand and particularly enjoy the movie and there were many loop holes in this movie but it was overcome by the confused story..the climax was made clear yet to make that the director had gave us a difficult story plot to clear the climax Overall- the movie had many new things and a bold direction and trying to give a new experience to the world class audience but still in edge to satisfy the local audience.. If that could have made clearly then it could be a great fantasy and fantastic thriller.

This movie is kind of a painting and the beauty n detail of it can be interpreted based on the particular viewer's experience on innocence, love, compassion, etc... Generally a movie, will travel with clear director's(plot) point of view and the message he/she wishes to deliver. But this movie, has left tat doors open.. An effort to keep those doors open for viewer's is to be appreciated.. I think one small, fine line drawn here is from the point the protagonist realizes that he has lost his loving self somewhere in life's journey and search for the point where he has lost his loving self and reaching it there to reconnect with it.. Again, it may be my perception on the movie..Showing his innocent part of life using budding friendship with a girl child when he was a kid is beautiful.
