Rocky

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!

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 film takes a different approach to cliche revenge stories. The making especially is the wow factor on this one. The director and crew have managed to pull something out of the ordinary boring revenge stories we have been seeing since forever and turned it in to something wow altogether. The narration, background scores, cinematography and the cast have definitely put in their best work yet on this one. We don't get to see awesome dramatic moments like the mainstream movies , but we will definitely never forget this one after watching. The story telling is pretty natural and engaging in a way that the audience would watch the whole film with their eyes glued on to the screen pretty much. The film shows us the beauty of wide angle frames to the fullest , one of the few films in recent Tamil cinema, to make use of wide angle shots in a way that it adds lot of perspective in an engaging manner. Would totally suggest this movie to anyone who thinks cinema is a one man job may it be the actor or the director , cause this will prove you otherwise!!!

If you really like ,crime genre movies go for it.. Note: if you watch for entertainment purpose,definitely ,it's not for you......................................................................................................................................... 8/10 Recommended.. Definitely worth watching..

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")
