    Sethupathi: A Cop's Journey Through Music, Action, and Mustache Magic

    He movie "Sethupathi" kicks off with the soulful opening song "Mazhai Thooralam," which beautifully captures the essence of an Indian cop's life. As the song fades out, you're already emotionally invested.

    Vijay's portrayal of the cop is spot-on, with his body language perfectly suited to the role. And that moustache-massive! In my opinion, this film stands as his best work to date. The supporting cast, including the heroine and other actors, also delivered commendable performances. While the storyline follows the familiar cop genre, the direction manages to keep it engaging.

    The background music (BGM) composed by Prasanna is nothing short of mind-blowing. Each song blends rock and pop elements in unique ways. Overall, "Sethupathi" offers a delightful mix of family drama and action-packed entertainment.

    Take my word for it-you won't regret watching "Sethupathi." 🎬👍

    An honest cop's confrontation with a ruthless gangster!

    Recently I reduced watching Indian films, but still hanging around Tamil films. Now and then checking out some parallel films, particularly the Vijay Sethupathi films. Police is a character that donned by all the top stars in Kollywood and saw tremendous success. So when I heard Vijay Sethupathi doing one, I don't want to miss it. Well, it was not a great film, not for the standards of Vijay Sethupathi I've been looking for. Because of little commercialised with traditional Tamil cop film style, including punch dialogues and the way of confronting the bad guy. Yet quite enjoyable.

    Sethupathi is an honest cop. Married with two kids. The criminals are scared of him and so people in the department under him. Well, one day he tied up to investigate the death of a police officer. But it begins to take a twist every time he nears to resolve it. Soon a direct confrontation happened between him and the bad guy. And after a series of challenges exchanged between them, finally who would triumph and how it all happen are told in the final quarter.

    This is the second collaboration between the director and the actor. Not the seen the first film, now I'll give it a try. It also a second collaboration between two lead pair after 'Pizza'. Nice performances by all, including the little ones. The domestic audience might like it better than the outsiders. Because it had all the ingredients they would look for. Even though I thought the villain was the most clichéd thing ever. Not just in this film, but any Tamil commercial films. For the international merit, it should have been a little better, especially leaving out the music videos would have done a better job. Then the film would have been pushed back to around hundred minutes. But I think it is still worth a watch.

    How to make a movie like a soap opera 101

    Zee tamil has mastered the art of relaying TV serials all 7 days a week with the addition of this movie to it's roster. Vijay sethupathi has 0 emotions as usual in his delivery and his fans go crazy crazy for his most bland expressions like he's Sivaji ganesan.

    Poor Remake of Saamy (2003)

    The movie is a blatant copy of the superhit movie Saamy which came 13 years before this. The story structure is so similar even the end except for few differences.

    But the writing is absolute garbage. In one of the scenes the hero, a cop will ask his subordinate if he pulled the trigger unknowingly to load the gun. Won't a cop even know this? So poor writing. In another scene the hero's son who will be around 5 years holds a gun and shoots.

    Boring movie overall.
