Vadakkupatti Ramasamy

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.

Its a waste of time and money. Its a serious letdown if you think its going to be a funny movie. After watching DD returns movie, there was good expectation that this movie is going to be a laughter feast but this movie is a trash and is no way comparable to DD returns. Most of the jokes didn't make us laugh and the movie was a drag and everyone was hoping for the end cards to be put up soon. Some of the dialogues seems to be politically motivated and seems to make fun sarcastically of social reformers which is a big letdown to rational thinking. Also the climax was a big let down and just followed the regular template of any god template movies of the past. It was surely a regrettable experience going to this movie. I still remember how people really laughed their heart out while watching "DD returns" but this movie is a big let down.

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 .

#VadakkupattiRamasamy

Fun filled Religious Comedy Periodical Fantasy Drama. Different story happen in a village backdrop with an interesting Screenplay. Kept 2 or 3 situational scenes parallel in some places. That found good. Question us 'what will happen next' till the end. #Santhanam bro shined well on all his portions. All the other characters have given equal importance. Shared more screen space to other artists. All performed well. Technical aspects gave grip to the film. Comedy scenes and dialogues written well. It makes us laugh in many places. Slightly slow paced, but it suited for 1960-70's time period. Have some good social messages. Good Work Team, Applause. Overall a good family entertainment. Enjoy watching in the theaters. Do well at the box office. Good start for Santa this year, yet another good comedy film from him.
