Soodhu Kavvum

Firstly the movie isn't usual. Though many movies are there with having the protagonist as negative or socially immoral have received good response, this movie has multiple protagonist in it. It looks like Vijay Sethupathi(Das) is the lead character. But there is a lot of turns that are steered by the Kesavan's character who is not negative in the initially. Keeping the female character as imaginary was sheer brilliance. The BGM looks to have some reference from the Oceans Eleven in some places. But its supports the movie completely. There is justification bought in the end of the movie with the fact that no act by anyone has a complete good/bad and the acts of Das bought only minimal bad :)

Soodhu Kavvum, the best film I've seen so far in 2013. 1. The introduction and the film title display scene are wonderful. 2. Can't guess what's going to happen next and the editing was good. 3. The comedy was great great great, such a great relief from santhanism for a moment. 4. All the actors played their part very well. 5. All the songs are played well, mostly suited for the situation, and runs in background. 6. Loved the song, kaasu panam dutthu. 7. You'll forget most of the comedies, after watching the film, and wants to see the film again. 8. Extraordinary screenplay, dialogue delivery and acting. 9. Loved the action scene of that police. good editing there 10. For those who says "DVD vanthurum athula paathukkalaam", this is a film worth watching in theatres with families or friends or anyone. 11. Enjoy this film watching in theatre

Highly recommended.

A very well known story that we've already seen Humpty number of times in this 100 years of Indian cinema.A group lead by a mastermind plans on kidnapping a VIP's son, where they are caught and the rest is how they come out clean without any charges.

Casting Vijay Sethupathi: Dream run continues, actually i don see it stopping anywhere in near future.No wonder that he is fully booked till 2017 (if it's true). Whatta performance,No compromises and gave 100 % what the script demanded. Age 40 +, grayed long locks and most important his costumes. He is progressing very fast proving his acting skills.

Radha Ravi, MS Bhaskar and Karunakaran have done their jobs perfect , Crisp and clean.

Sanchita Shetty: Hmmm...Good acting, Guys you should watch the movie and will be impressed. RJ Ramesh & Simhaa: They have almost same screen space as Vijay does and a true find , The way they react on tense situations and during the climax fighting (actually 'Adi vaangura') scenes they have stolen the show from vi jay.

Santhosh Narayanan: Fantastic job with the background score,especially during the chase scenes the rock type music are keeps us very engaging."Mama trouser..." is the best out of the box and fits so well for the movie.To make it short santhosh music is still Very fresh and enjoyable and lifts the movie's value to great extent.

Nalan Kumarasamy: Once again thank you "Nalaya Iyakunnar" show, that has given us another new comer with loads of talent.With a perfect characterization, engaging screenplay and no compromise on entertainment or logic the director has given a movie that also shows the Grey shades of people and the happenings right here in our place, which we cannot deny. I saw a review stating that the director has made the movie that without any respect to society or its people.For everyone of those the first scene about the newspapers and their content gives the answer. It's not that cinema is teaching things to us , that over and now cinema is showing things that is happening and not known by many of us.

Conclusion Though : *You know the story and seen many times *You can predict some scenes *You know what the climax could be, *You have seen Vijay sethupathy's earlier performances But still once you come out of the theater you will feel cheated,

The movie was excellent. The story was very good in the movie. Songs and BGM were good in the movie. The movie is thrilling and funny. Everyone acted very well in the movie.

It has been directed by debutant Nalan Kumarasamy, one of the talents of Naalaiya Iyakkunar, a reality show for aspiring directors. Soodhu Kavvum stars Vijay Sethupathy and Sanchita Shetty, alongwith MS Bhasker, Ramesh, Simhaa, Ashok, Karunakaran, Yog Japee and Radha Ravi in significant roles. director, Nalan Kumarasamy, transforms the plot into an extremely engaging film, with hilarious characters and entertaining situations. Music: Santosh Narayanan Genre:black Comedy Duration: 2 hours 17 minutes Soodhu Kavvum is a different kind of film that has not been seen in Tamil cinema Nalan Kumarasamy is a daring director to make a black comedy at a time when Tamil cinema is being bombarded by slapstick comedies. The most solid of the new breed actors Vijay Sethupathy as the 40 plus anti-hero and all new actors in supporting cast are apt and they make the film crackle Vijay Sethupathy steals the show with his shaggy salt and pepper beard and a paunch. His body language and dialogue delivery makes the character come alive Sanchita Shetty as his girlfriend is smashing and delivers some one- liners with perfect lip sync. It is one of the best films to have emerged out of Kollywood in a long, long time ' Soodhu Kavvum' marks a hat-trick of successes for Vijay Sethupathy after the thriller 'Pizza' and the situational comedy 'Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom'. His knack of choosing good roles and working with new directors brimming with ideas will stand him in good stead, as also the work he puts in to portray each character. He put on weight and grew a beard to play Das, and the look fits him to a 'T'. His chemistry with Shalu (Sanchita Shetty), who has a terrific screen presence and does a neat job in her debut movie, is a treat to watch

Though the movie features only one full song 'Kaasu panam', the soundtrack has other gems like 'Mama douser' and 'Come na come' and a background score that will remain with you long after you exit the theatre. With a smile!!!
