G.V. Prakash Kumar in Jail (2021)
Three friends Karnan (G V Prakash Kumar) a thief, Kalai (Pasanga Paandi) an ex-convict and Rocky (Nandhan Ram) a drug peddler are childhood friends who live in the government housing board complex in Thuraipakkam, Chennai. The police and the public always eye those in the area as criminals and jobs are denied, forcing them to resort to illegal activities. Rocky is always at loggerheads with a rival gang of drug peddlers. How that triggers a chain of events that spell disaster to the three friends and their families and how a corrupt cop uses them for his own gains is what the rest of the screenplay is all about.

    another gully based crappiest movie

    GV Prakash has spoiled his career to the core and this is another crap coming from his side, the painful fact is that despite being directed by one of the good directors in Tamil cinema, this one came out to be a less than a mediocre film, who is known for his emotional cinema angle, which was totally missing except the protagonist's mother's death scene.

    The trajectory of Tamil cinema is still on the lines of taking gully based movies, I don't know if the commercial success is happening because of that group of people and hence the targeting is still happening but this is definitely not good at all.

    This one especially portrays the lives of the Kannagi Nagar people, the director has tried to justify whatever mistakes that group of people do, a totally irresponsible film making there.

    There are so many ways to present the lives of those underprivileged people if the director does really care about the enhancement of their lives but it was abrupt that the film was just trying to show one side of the story and failed miserably to highlight what could be done for the betterment, in that way, this film could've easily been into the limelight and a box office success if it'd have taken from all angles but just one side of storytelling dumped the whole movie into the gully itself.

    Dramatic garbage!!

    Expected good story, but the director cheated. The direction was compromised. Screenplay, story was pathetic. The message was not delivered well. Cinematography was good. Liked the music.

    Good screenplay

    Perfect vasanthabalan movie. But not in the range of angadi theru or veyil or some of his previous movies. Most of the scenes were almost like from few other movies.. GV was ok . Heroine ok too. Nice music . GVs friends acted well too. Wasn't boring . Was good overall.
