Kuttram 23

Kuttram 23, a different script than a usual story being handled by the director, and good casting done by arun vijay,mahima nambiar, movie starts with a good thrill right from the beginning of movie , the instant flash back scenes during the first half was a good move by director, good suspense till the intermission, later on the some scenes were predicable in the second half , Rerecording is good , with some OK songs,the focal length of camera could at mid level than at close up views at fight scenes, the final dialogue about orphans was really good at the end of movie, worth watching to now the meaning of 23 in its movies name.

The last film I saw from this director was 'Eeram' which was one of the best horror films Kollywood had ever produced and was a trend setter in the modern days of filmmaking in the Tamil language. Now that genre is well explored that you can find every year films like that making its way out. Coming back to this one, I think it is a decently made film. Based on the book of the same name, the screenplay was given preference to the commercial elements like big stars' films. Otherwise, it would have been a better work from the director, as well as for the actor.

Like todays trend in Kollywood's B movies to make a parallel cinema to the international standards, this one missed that opportunity. After successfully playing a negative role in 'Yennai Arindhaal', this is his comeback film as a solo for Arun Vijay. He had worked very hard for where he's standing today and for the role in this film. I hope he makes good films in the future as well.

This is a police story. A murder, a missing person and followed by another attempt of murder, a young cop comes to rescue a young woman, but soon they fall in love with each other. On the other side, the story takes twists and turns while solving the crime. Finding out who and why, the narration enters the final segment and brings an end to everything.

Much better film than list-A films and like I said it had the opportunity to be an even better film. One of the best police stories with good casting. The length of the film was a bit concern, though manageable because of engaging plot. The songs should have been trimmed off. If you are a native audience, it does not matter, but for the international viewers, it is definitely offbeat for such intensified crime-thriller. I'm not in favour of recommending it, but surely worth a watch.

7/10

Female murders, wonders of medical science, and a police officer combines to form this very likeable movie.

It has a great premise with good direction, though the climax was rather average. There is plenty of suspense in the first half, but in the second half, it gets predictable. The only disappointing part is that the movie tries to force-feed its core message instead of being subtle.

The movie was good. Everyone acted very well in the movie. 1st half in the movie was so interesting. But 2nd half in the movie was boring. BGM in the movie was good.

From the title card the director get into the story very intensively. The title card gave an insight to the audience what is movie about. From the screenplay part director had done justice by bringing the same enthusiasm and thriller we get while reading that novel.

The drawback of the movie is the love portions of the movie which comes in first half ...and some of the comedy dialogues pulls back the audience thrilling moment.

Arun vi-jay has given his 100 percent effort to the movie which reflects in every scene from his physic and body language...but the only thing is he should have gone with a neat clear cut police hair cut. to sum up all...really a worth a watch movie...Director balanced the entertainment and the awareness he gave from the movie.
