Chekka Chivantha Vaanam

2nd half just collapsed.. Script fails but all actors where brilliant in this movie especially Aravindh Swammy.. could have been better.. 5/10

One of the best Tamil movies to be released recently.

Entertaining throughout the whole movie. Decent amount of comedy and not overly done. Story line is good. Not predictable like some other movies.

Way better than the other movie I saw - Saamy 2.

4 major stars plus a few more are squeezed into a 140 minute timeline.

Most of them have moments which they own but it doesn't make them full characters. This would have worked better as a longer film with them being etched better.

Still, this is a decent film. Arvind Swami sort of wades through a unsurprising first half and comes into his own as the action builds up. Jothika gets exactly one terrific scene. Vijay Sethupathi is very good but he is one of those who suffers from a slightly incomplete characterisation. Arun Vijay and Simbu are ok in their roles.

Greedy and glorious. Need to mention ARR's music and BGM ( bhoomi bhoomi and Sevandu ponju nenji) ,Santhosh Sivan's Lighting . Gripping narration and some emotional scenes. STR and Vijay Sethupathi Charactes are good Overall it's a Mani Sir's movie. Go for it.

You can't call it a gangster film or an action film. Mani tries to cohere these two and the result is terrible. Bad screenplay..Overall the film is damn average and too boring
