Vadakkupatti Ramasamy

I did not expect this film to be this funny at all. Till some time before the interval the movie is a dull same old boring comedy film but from the moment the military general(My favourite character in this whole movie)comes in the movie is a laughter riot. It had been so many days since u burst out laughing like this for a movie. This film with it's intentional jokes is not that funny but unintentionally it is so funny. Oh my god! These moments of laughter work cause of some strong writing points here and there. This works with the new yet old kinda comedy that the film produces. Some of which are still stuck in my mind like Motta Rajendran saying Vodka or The military's delulu or the Idachathu neethane, and Lakshmi idupu sayal and many more. I really liked this movie for the laughter it gives even though its writing is weak. The climax is just a laughter riot. Superb!:)

It's disheartening to observe the prevalence of online reviews seemingly influenced by paid endorsements, resulting in an abundance of ratings lacking substantive comments. Despite this trend, I feel compelled to share my authentic perspective as a genuine viewer from America. The movie, in question, stands out as a comedic gem that not only entertained me but also surpassed my expectations.

In my sincere opinion, the comedic elements within this film outshine even notable productions such as 'DD Return.' Moreover, I'm bold enough to assert that it surpasses the comedic aspects of the Leo movie, which, in comparison, pales in its humor quotient. It's refreshing to witness a comedy that truly resonates, and I believe it deserves recognition beyond the sea of potentially biased reviews. My intent is to contribute a genuine and thoughtful assessment, countering the prevailing noise with an earnest portrayal of the movie's comedic brilliance.

My expectations for Santhanam movies are always the lowest it could ever be. Last year alone I watched three of his movies in theaters and ended up hating them all. In fact, "Kick" is still by a large margin the worst movie of 2023 in my opinion. So the fact that "Vadakkupatti Ramasamy" wasn't really horrible came as somewhat of a surprise.

Here is the movie's biggest win - it had a rather grounded and coherent plot; something that's always missing in Santhanam's movies. The comedy was definitely hit-or-miss, but it wasn't unforgivably annoying; as again, has been the trend in all of his movies. "Vadakkupatti Ramasamy" tells the story of an atheist from an extremely superstitious village and how he decides to profit off the gullibility of the villagers by constructing a temple and monetizing everything around it. The plot and ensuring conflicts are decent enough and doesn't really try to be anything more than it is, and that works out extremely well in its favor.

Sometimes silly and sometimes satire, "Vadakkupatti Ramasamy" ends up being a Santhanam movie you could actually sit through without a fuss; which coming from me, is as high a praise for his movies as I could ever give these days.

If i am being honest i went into the movie with little to no expectations as Santhanam's movies have been either a big hit or a huge miss. But this film pleasently surprised me Storywise there is not much but the screenplay and the comedic acting(everyone including Santhanam have done a splendid job). Almost every joke in this film connects with the audience with many memorable comedy scenes to reflect on later. Had an absolutely fun time in the theatres with family. It would be better to watch this in theater because the experience is amazing. The negative or mixed reviews are very surprising to say the least. The best way to view the film is to go with an open mind and Laugh your hearts out.

Cheers!!.

If you are really someone who like to laugh at silly comedies and dialogues this movies is for you

The whole theatre was laughing out loud during entire first half and the second half was also maintained the pace .

After DDreturns this is one of the best comedy movies of Santhanam I would say

The recent movies such as Leo was nothing when compared to the amount of heart felt emotion se got for this movie

The entire theatre enjoyed it and it was very well worked

Best thing about Santhanam is that he is still keeping up the same old gang he was from without forgetting or leaving them behind we can see this gang every film with him .
