Don

It's just an ordinary movie comedy works at some areas first half good entertainer like typical tamil cinema second half full of emotions. Nice acting and one time watchable. Emotions connected very well in last few minutes👍🏻

Initially the movie seems to follow a overdone formula but it shines in the second half. From start to finish it keeps you engaged and the last 30-40 minutes is where all it's strength lies and is an emotional rollercoaster.

Beautiful movie, Humour was on point. Pretty good character arc and a strong message. Hope SK holds up the streak. And a remarkable job by CIBI. Also IMBEEDI allow for shorter reviews.

College Don is the movie I needed to see . The first half of the movie itself is Comic Relief of the Movie ,laughed all the way through Intermission. Some scenes are straight up absurd. The love story was good .S J Surya gave a great performance as Principle but the highlight of the movie is the father son relationship between Sivakarthikeyan and Samuthrakani.

Oh my... Samuthrakani's performance is top notch and I understood why is he so hot right now as he's in every other movie I watch. The second half slowly turns into drama and by the time of the climax it takes complete 180 and turns really dark in a good way. This type of Father Son dyanamic is not new but this movie is different in my opinion ,it is so relatable and at times I was watching myself on the big screen and by the end made to think and appreciate my father a bit more.

My Nitpicks are some absurd scenes and a few characters which I was not into and my main nitpick is Anirudh's music , which is not bad but I felt it was basic and generic. I had high expectations from him after the massive success of Beast(by the way I keep the Beast Album on loop at night while sleeping every day since past month) and his consistent great music albums which are completely new and different from each other. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations , maybe this movie really didn't need Beast or Master level Albums whatever ,the fact I didn't like the music remains...

6.9/10.

Eventhough SK & other actors did theirpart well, the movie second half is a drag , poor writing, predictable scenes. First half tries to cover up with some decent comedy. Your target audience is looking for fun with bit of surprises and sentiments - yes screenplay had those elements but was not presented well.

I think the director might have missed out his real talent in his college.
