Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu

To be honest my expectations were pretty low before watching the movie Cause the press were continuously forcing Gautam to admit this isn't his sort of movie different from all his previous flicks Which I consider is utmost disrespect to Gautam Menon whom i consider one of the very few great directors in tamil cinema or Indian cinema too First half was very good and slowly takes you to the to the journey of Muthu and convince us with how the circumstances makes Muthu to take gun in his own hands and becomes a gangster The only thing I disliked were the climax potions where the movie fast forwards to 5 years and shows simbu kind of like a modern gangster Personally didnt like those portions, except that 10 mins movie was pure gold. Simbus acting was very good and he kind of pulled off Muthu gracefully And it is Gautam menons movie.

This movie is very long in which first half is long but good screenplay! STR role in this movie is awesome...Str is a villager in tamilnadu and how he became a gangster in Mumbai is the moviee...str acting is Vera level(good)!1st half is slow but not boring...Second half is worth watching! Get enough sleep before watching this movie..Being a neutral fan I love this movie so much!songs are good and fight stunts are satisfactory... screenplay is not bad and a good plot which keep me engaged in this movie...I suggest you to watch the movie with no expectations! All characters are good in acting and twists are present in second half for sure...worth watching 👌👍

I watched this movie with subtitles since unfortunately it was not dubbed in hindi on prime but I completed it like I complete other South movies with subtitles if it has the content to hold your interest otherwise if not I switch off after twenty minutes or so because this is the time limit you usually need to understand if the movie is worth watching. This is first time I am watching the lead actor and actress and no doubt they did good job. The heroine does not have much screen space in first half but she is likeable with her good looks and sweet dimple. The direction is good, the set is well made, well shot and a complete entertainer.

An asusual gangster drama which works out well due to great writing , mind blowing music , phenomenal performance and unique kinda treatment in making . GVM as a director gave a great visuals to the Jayamohan's writing , he completely worked out of his comfort zone , happy to see him in a new avatar . Jayamohan's writing was great , Muthu's characterisation was well designed and movie completely focused character arc of Protagonist . First half , story took it's own time to build and interval block was totally insane . Second half , movie explores underground gangster rivals and Romantic life of Muthu it wasn't great as first half but good . STR once again gave a marvelous performance . AR Rahman gave a mind blowing album , his music treatment for gangster drama was unique and great . Cinematography was phenomenal , some of the long single take Shot was great . Drawbacks , 3rd act was bit odd , too many single take shots and finally last 5 mins was totally meh . Overall a well made gangster drama movie to watch , give a try I hope you like it .

While some may view this movie as a cliché gangster film, I found it to have a unique quality that set it apart. Perhaps it was due to the musical genius of AR Rahman, whose score played an incredibly important role in the film. Without his tremendous music, the movie would have been incomplete, unable to survive on the typical gangster storyline alone. The soundtrack added a depth and emotion that elevated the film to a higher level, making it truly memorable.

While the movie started slow and felt somewhat boring at first, it eventually picked up the pace in the second half. Although it didn't quite match up to Gautam Vasudev Menon's other epic films like "Kakka Kakka", it still had the usual magic that fans have come to expect from his work. While some viewers may find it to be a typical gangster movie, the film manages to serve justice to the genre, providing an engaging and entertaining experience. Despite its slow start, the movie ultimately delivers a solid performance, with a satisfying storyline and memorable characters.
