Bloody Beggar

"Bloody Beggar" is an underrated gem in Tamil cinema, a genre that's rarely explored. I initially watched it on OTT because I wasn't impressed by the poor trailer, which made me expect another disaster like "Nai Shekar." However, I was completely surprised by the screenplay and its clever twists. Though the film starts off slowly, I was drawn in by the lack of unnecessary romance, glamour, or songs-something that's all too common in mainstream cinema. I really appreciate how the director brought us a dark comedy infused with emotional depth.

The performances were fantastic, with not just Kavin and Redin, but the entire cast and crew doing an excellent job. If you're someone who's tired of the usual masala movies and wants to see something fresh with the same ingredients but a new flavor, this is a must-watch. I give it a solid 10 out of 10.

It was a good film, not bad but It could have been better. Kavin's acting was somewhat ok but not as expected. The family tree was difficult to connect with which made the film confusing. The movie was not having a strong story line yet it was a good 2hrs 19mins. Radha Ravi's cameo did not run for a long period of time but it had a huge impact in the film. Kingsley's acting is an all time blockbuster like we saw in Beast and doctor. The genre of the film is different than the films in today's date. Some scenes were boring and time waste. It is an average one time watch film. It is a good film but not a film that can run in the competition of diwali films. Overall out of 10, I would give this film 6.

Kavin winning with his interesting script choices is lovely to see. This is a film that the OTT audiences will most likely lap up, given its minimalist premise utilized to decent effect. I won't say all the moving parts work, but how writer-director Sivabalan Muthukumar executes the dark+absurd humor elements warrants praise. Jen Martin's score is also wonderful, adding to the emotional side of the film (in an unexpected turn of events).

The survival thriller bits are fun, but the commentary on poverty, social strata, and abuse within the family, is explored to a deeper extent than expected. Redin Kingsley, whom I absolutely wanted to "DELETE" in Kanguva, frequently scores with his one-liners here. I suppose it's a matter of the filmmaker he finds himself working with. The other supporting performances are a mixed bag-some enjoyable, some not so much. "You're Next" and "Ready or Not" are obvious inspirations.

Bloody Beggar (2024) is a gritty action thriller that follows the journey of a mysterious beggar who rises from the shadows to take revenge against a corrupt system. With intense performances, dark storytelling, and raw action sequences, the film keeps viewers on edge. The protagonist's transformation from a helpless figure to a symbol of rage and justice is both haunting and powerful. Though the pacing wavers in parts, the narrative delivers strong emotional impact and social commentary. Bloody Beggar is a bold, unflinching look at power, poverty, and retribution.

The first 1/3 was really great . The next 2/3 was wasted due to poor storyline.

The movie supposed to be a fun/ comedy movie. Mixing it with sad past, and violence dont match the initial momentum.

There was a lot of shouting throughout the film. I would have appreciated a better plot line but it was just a little too weak.

There were some scenes where there was some really good cinematography and editing but since the overall movie wasn't satisfying, those few scenes got over shadowed in my opinion.

The lead, Kavin did a great job during those pivotal turning points in the movie but during the other scenes, it felt a little overdone.

Overall unsatisfying and long plot line but the acting and the small twists kept the movie a little interesting.
