Kuttram 23

A successful movie can create a new identity to the team involved in making. As Director Arivazhagan is already addressed as director of Eeram, after this movie, he can definitely be addressed as director of Kuttram 23. This credit goes to the protagonist Arun Vijay as well.

Kollywood has established a new benchmark in investigation thriller after the success of movies like Thani Oruvan to recent Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru. Precisely, Kuttram 23 have met those standards with a riveting plot and a befitting social message.

The movie has followed a simple art of story telling with a linear screen-play. But this does not mean that you can sit reclined in your seat.

The action sequences especially are well made and looks realistic. Unlike majority of thriller movies, this movie looks more colorful and grand in visual.

Fortunately, every other factors falls into place for this movie. Please don't search for shortcoming(there isn't any in my opinion), as this kind of movies are meant to be watched by audience of all categories.

From the title card the director get into the story very intensively. The title card gave an insight to the audience what is movie about. From the screenplay part director had done justice by bringing the same enthusiasm and thriller we get while reading that novel.

The drawback of the movie is the love portions of the movie which comes in first half ...and some of the comedy dialogues pulls back the audience thrilling moment.

Arun vi-jay has given his 100 percent effort to the movie which reflects in every scene from his physic and body language...but the only thing is he should have gone with a neat clear cut police hair cut. to sum up all...really a worth a watch movie...Director balanced the entertainment and the awareness he gave from the movie.

The movie was good. Everyone acted very well in the movie. 1st half in the movie was so interesting. But 2nd half in the movie was boring. BGM in the movie was good.

The biggest asset of Kuttram 23 is Arun Vijay,who stole the show with his career best performance that's sure to concrete his position as a bankable lead hero in Kollywood.The way he underplayed the role of a cop invested on him with his stylish looks and realistic dialogue delivery made the small flaws in the narrative immaterial as far as a satisfactory movie experience is concerned.

The storyline based upon a crime novel by Rajesh Kumar was handled well by director Arivazhagan who succeeded in creating a convincing cinematic version of the investigative thriller based upon few medical crimes,a topic that hasn't been discussed much in Kollywood.Bhaskaran's frames deserve a special mention for giving a slick look to the movie.

The action sequences were choreographed very well particularly the fight towards the climax of the movie.Vishal Chandrasekher's musical score was adequate.On the negative side the,climax of the movie felt rushed and the way the mystery was unfolded wasn't impactful as one would expect it to be.The message that the movie tried to convey was half-baked.

Overall,Kuttram 23 is a satisfactory medical thriller that has enough substance to qualify for a watch from the silverscreens !

Kutram 23 is a good decent thriller. No lagging. Almost good investigation. Arun Vijay done a good job in this film
