Gatta Kusthi

As per my review title, this film is an 100% propaganda film. The theme is "Women can survive without men by making many sacrifices, whereas men will be doomed without women". If this movie had been neutral, I would have given 10 stars. Because of the biased view, I give it 5 stars, that too only for good acting. Otherwise it is eligible only for 1 star. As stated by one reviewer, acting of Karunas is great. But the director made his character in such a way that even male supremists will abhor his character. Such a stereotype! Perhaps the director is from some other planet, that he is not aware of those women who kill their own children for the sake of their lovers. I don't know how long men have to bear this kind of humility, that too from fellow men.

The attempted story line gives a breath of fresh air in tamil cinema.

The movie starts off in splendour setting the scene and strongly imprinting the intensity of each of the charcters but at some point fails to keep the tempo going.

The female lead character Keerthy is well played by Aishwarya Lekshmy. The cheek fillers looks a bit odd, and a the short haired version would have been nicer with some better hairdo as it stands out very weirdly. The acting was fairly good , but some clear difficulty in transitioning between the tough and the soft characters is felt.

The male lead character Veera is brilliantly played by Vishnu Vishal. His physique and hardwork is well noted. But his character loses a bit of justice from the initial build up.

The Comedy part by Redin is a big let down. I wish the script writers had focussed a bit more witty and funny scenes, as there were many opportunities, where they could have cracked the laughter pot and made it memorable.

The anatgonist role played by Dass ( Ajay) and Rathnam ( karunas) was given built up very well but those characters gave up weakly without any justification for the role played. Moreover a reaction after knowing the real situation before the fight from the coach kodangi ( Hareesh) which was expected is also missing.

Overall, very good attempt, the movie along with characters loses tempo in the 2nd half. Looks like there was a bit of hurry to finish the movie towards the end.

Neverthless, Definitely a good family entertainer. A very good opportunity to teach children about gender equality and sports motivation.

One of the most humorous films ever made, coming from Tamil Cinema after a very long time.

Especially, the first half of the film was a laugh riot in theatres mostly with families watching and that too with a lower audience count.

The humor is done by a serious female protagonist based on whom the entire film travels, the film might make you feel like having watched a feminism-based movie since it targets male chauvinists specifically, but it was all for humor and good things, all related to the transformation that our current society is going through.

Although the end part of the film was slightly boring to a certain extent and there were a few flaws in the film as well but I'd avoid them deliberately as the pros outweigh the cons to a greater extent and get you entertained & aware to a certain extent.

Overall, It's a very good, promising, and positive film ever made and a must-watch for married or about-to-get married people as it talks more about the male-female/husband-wife relationship in our society/culture, which is bound to change towards equality.

Gatta Kusthi is a refreshing blend of mass entertainment and meaningful messaging. While it checks all the boxes of commercial cinema-action, comedy, music, and drama-it cleverly challenges patriarchal norms and gender stereotypes without ever feeling preachy. The story unfolds with humor and heart, gradually introducing progressive themes through smart writing and emotional depth.

The performances are standout, especially from the leads. The male protagonist takes on a brave, layered role, while the female lead breaks away from clichés with strength and grace, becoming the soul of the film. Their chemistry is engaging, making the narrative both personal and symbolic.

Technically polished, the film features vibrant cinematography, crisp editing, and a well-balanced soundtrack. What sets *Gatta Kusthi* apart is its ability to make the audience laugh and reflect at the same time. It's bold, entertaining, and thought-provoking-a rare achievement in mainstream Indian cinema. A must-watch with a powerful message.

In summary, Gatta Kushti is a film that deserves to be seen and talked about. It entertains, it questions, and it inspires. With strong performances, a compelling message, and high production value, it delivers on every front. Whether you're watching for the fun or for the deeper themes, this film will leave you with something to think about. It's a much-needed addition to the landscape of Indian cinema-and a slap in the face of patriarchy, served with a smile.

Thanks to Chella ayyavu for a quick ott release and a feel good entertainer that's cleverly scripted & worthy life lessons conveyed subtlety Vishnu Vishal should be appreciated for producing the flick despite knowing that it's about a women empowerment where regular heroic act won't be entertained... Aishwarya lekshmi does a get a meaty role and she does at ease keeping underplayed,sometimes bold and fearless... Munishkant and Kali venkat does strenthen the screenplay with their flawless act and special mention to karunas whose does elevate to the movie to a new level ... Overall a perfect family entertainer makes it a must watch verdict.
