Kannai Nambathey

Just finished watching this movie on Netflix. I quite like the director's previous outing (Iravukku Ayiram Kangal) and the protagonist's previous outing (Kalaga Thalaivan).

Coming to Kannai Nambathey, I was actually quite impressed with first 90 minutes of the movie. Unfortunately, the same clarity in writing is not maintained in the last 45 minutes.

Had the last 45 minutes of the movie handled differently, the result would have been a little better. However, if you are into crime drama thrillers this a very good watch for the weekend.

Quite liked the performance of Vasundhara Kashyap. Snall role though.

The story picks off when the protagonist decides to help a stranger and gets caught in a murder after murder case. The characters are all connected and looks too contrived. The reveal does not bring any surprise, and predictable at places. The motive of antagonist lacks punch, and is only focused on twists rather than a compelling narration.

The Director in the pursuit of surprising the audience made it difficult to comprehend and it just appears twist after twist with poorly established characters. Satish character and auto driver character are not needed for this storyline, but just kept for so called comedy relief!!

Story is really boring . Story has huge plot holes which makes you leave the film halfway. Director tries to make a fancy thriller movie plot by connecting dots of several events. But he failed it really badly and resulted in no continuous story whatsoever. Director/Writer was trying to mimic a great thriller crime genre movie but springing a surprise twist at the end. But there was terrible connection with the events and the way film connected the events was hilarious.

Indian cinema have produced some fantastic storylines under this genre such as Raatchasan but this movie seems just a commercial movie made hurriedly for Netflix.

Please avoid watching this.!

The movie had a good start and I saw I'm going to witness another interesting Tamil thriller movie but sadly this was a total disappointment. The director just focussed on giving some twist instead of giving focus on the character development. Many characters are not even needed in the movie.

For a movie to be watchworthy then the creator should give focus on the screenplay and the story. Here he had a good story but the loose screenplay totally ruined the film and the lighting used for the film makes the movie duller.

The acting however was fine, I wont say great but it was just fine. Go for it if you are bored and I'm sure you are gonna fast forward it.

This is probably the worst movie of the decade from Tamil Cinema, what a waste of time, energy, money, and other resources.

Though the plot was good enough to make a good film, the screenplay was so poorly designed and the overall making was spoiled so much that it felt like watching something awful.

All the characters probably did their job well as was expected but the overall outcome felt like a mix of awful in-digestible ingredients stirred up.

The reason I watched this anti-EPIC was just because of the protagonist as he has recently chosen somewhat decent scripts but this one was utter nonsense and the last phone call from ArulNidhi just didn't work at all.

A total waste of time.
