Featured reviews
The movie is intense from the word go. Dinesh kanagaraj has Managed to Keep us at the edge of the seat till the end. Every character has done Justice to their role so much so that you can't imagine others doing it. Big kudos to Karthi for donning the role of Kaithi thereby giving a big premise for this great action film. This movie is sound in all aspects starting from cinematography at night, editing, stunts, art direction, BGM and what not. One of the best movies ever released for Diwali.
Karthi is one of the Best and underrated actor in Tamil Cinema. He did different roles in different movies. He did a very good job in this movie too. Camera work is another plus for this movie. Sam CS done a very good work in Background score!. Direction and screenplay are 💥. Definitely a worth movie to watch.
I'm from Northeast India but I'm a fan of Tamil industry. After Vada Chennai this is what I loved a lot. Wonderful screenplay by Lokesh kanagaraj sir. This is the first movie of Karthi I've watched and really loved his performance, Wonderful actor.
Overall a must watch movie.
Oh man..... this one was splendid. Speechless, edge of the seat. As i am watching this late, i was waiting for the hero's entry and boy, did the movie deliver it! Throughout the movie you want the hero to win, the director has somehow found a way to make us feel that way. My heart was pounding throughout the duration of the movie. It is definitely going to glue your eye to the screen.
The direction and screenplay is out of the world. He has even managed to capture the father daughter sentiments in this all round action movie.
The cast is wonderful. Everybody did justice to their role.
The story is fantastic. Its like desi version of John Wick. I would definitely love to see a sequel.
Overall its an outstanding movie.
A drug burst, an injured cop and a Convicted Criminal who wants to meet her Daughter for First time in Life.
Karthi is back as seen in Paruthiveeran. A seat edge thriller without masala.
