Kuttram 23

A successful movie can create a new identity to the team involved in making. As Director Arivazhagan is already addressed as director of Eeram, after this movie, he can definitely be addressed as director of Kuttram 23. This credit goes to the protagonist Arun Vijay as well.

Kollywood has established a new benchmark in investigation thriller after the success of movies like Thani Oruvan to recent Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru. Precisely, Kuttram 23 have met those standards with a riveting plot and a befitting social message.

The movie has followed a simple art of story telling with a linear screen-play. But this does not mean that you can sit reclined in your seat.

The action sequences especially are well made and looks realistic. Unlike majority of thriller movies, this movie looks more colorful and grand in visual.

Fortunately, every other factors falls into place for this movie. Please don't search for shortcoming(there isn't any in my opinion), as this kind of movies are meant to be watched by audience of all categories.

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 biggest asset of Kuttram 23 is Arun Vijay,who stole the show with his career best performance that's sure to concrete his position as a bankable lead hero in Kollywood.The way he underplayed the role of a cop invested on him with his stylish looks and realistic dialogue delivery made the small flaws in the narrative immaterial as far as a satisfactory movie experience is concerned.

The storyline based upon a crime novel by Rajesh Kumar was handled well by director Arivazhagan who succeeded in creating a convincing cinematic version of the investigative thriller based upon few medical crimes,a topic that hasn't been discussed much in Kollywood.Bhaskaran's frames deserve a special mention for giving a slick look to the movie.

The action sequences were choreographed very well particularly the fight towards the climax of the movie.Vishal Chandrasekher's musical score was adequate.On the negative side the,climax of the movie felt rushed and the way the mystery was unfolded wasn't impactful as one would expect it to be.The message that the movie tried to convey was half-baked.

Overall,Kuttram 23 is a satisfactory medical thriller that has enough substance to qualify for a watch from the silverscreens !

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.

Thriller cum Horror is what i felt because of things that were happening around. Background score adds to it perfectly. Nothing more could be asked. Simple yet a highly intense one by retaining suspense.
