Japan

Being a big fan of Karthi's movies, it's disappointing to say that if I were to rank them from worst to best, this particular film unfortunately takes the top spot. I had a challenging time with it - the story felt weak, the plot was confusing, and the attempts at humor just didn't work for me. The pacing issues made both halves of the movie drag on, leaving me pretty disappointed.

The core problem was the story itself - it lacked the depth and complexity that I usually appreciate in Karthi's films. The way the plot unfolded felt disjointed, making it hard to stay connected with the characters. The humor fell flat, and at times, it was just plain boring.

Despite Karthi's efforts with a new approach to his character, something didn't click on screen. Whether it's the script or directorial choices, the effort didn't translate well.

Now, while this film might currently hold the "worst" position in my ranking, I still have faith in Karthi's talent. Every artist faces ups and downs, and I'm hopeful that this is just a temporary setback in his career. I look forward to seeing him bounce back with stronger projects. This review isn't a critique of his entire filmography - it's more like a rough patch that I hope he moves past soon.

Yo, peeps, let's break down this flick real quick. The plot? Not the most thrilling ride, ya feel? The storytelling is a'ight, and some scenes got that good pen game, while others just straight-up snooze-worthy.

Now, Japan's character? A mix, fam. Sometimes, it's all entertaining and got you smirkin', but other times, it's just flat-out annoying. The director's hustle is decent, nothing mind-blowing. Karthi brings the heat with a solid performance, no cap. Anu Emanuel? Sorry, but she's kinda putting us to sleep. Sunil does his thing like always, so mad props to him.

Now, peep this: the locations, sets, and fits are on point-props to the crew for that. Cinematography? Straight fire. Background music? It bumps. Should you check it? Nah, but if you catch it, keep them expectations in check, you feel me?

I wonder what made anyone involved to even make this movie. The two story lines are so abhorrent and unbearable meandering everywhere but going nowhere. Karthi tries to make an impact but falls flat in his face with every scene being more cringeworthy than the last. The violence scenes seem unnecessary and the characters from his henchmen to the cops don't add any meaning. The worst is the cheap copycat of the GVM cop role whose entire role is to keep chasing the culprit.

The scene where the so called movie about Japan was made kicks in at about five mins. If you can survive and enjoy the movie scene which runs for five mins then please continue with the movie but if you can't just get out and walk away.

Life's too short to waste three hours on this movie.

Senseless Narration * Lackluster Story & Very Poor Screenplay * Forgettable Songs * Silly Heroine Track & Investigation Scenes * Half Baked Sub Plots * Weak Characterizations.

* no logic and all characters look like serial drama artist for episodes * Worst body language of karthi and don't know what he is trying to imitate * Even the screenplay is very weakly written. The flow of scenes never makes any proper sense and the scenes never create an interest in the way they are being unfolded on screen. All the subplots are poorly written, especially the heroine track looks very silly and unwanted as she appears only for 10 minutes in the whole film. Even the whole investigation process never engages us.

Cops in search of a culprit named 'Japan' for robbing a jewellery shop.

Unexpected film from Actor Karthi (played as a lead 'Japan') and director Raju Murugan. Unexpected in the sense 'disappointed'.

The main reason was the poor screenplay. The film started, travelled and ended in a complete boring way. Not even attractive in a single scene. None of the technical aspects supported this film. The composition and a few frames of this film worked from a cinematography aspect. Even the title card didn't perfectly made and the tag animation of Karthi's 25 (The 25th film of the actor who performed the 'Japan' character)too had poor graphics. The cast performed really well.

Nothing positive to say about this film. Really disappointing!! This film would have been better if the importance of Japan's character gave to the screenplay. Only the Japan character, Karthi's performance, his costume design and make up shines.
