    Tamil MA

    I think this is the one of the finest movie in Tamil Cinema ever made. The reasons are background music, cinematography, editing, lighting, acting and finally the screenplay and making. The director done a very good job. The story is about a guy wants to get his master degree in Tamil and what happens. His childhood friend and lover Anandhi who lives with her mother and uncle. After finished his degree, he could not get a job due to Tamil degree. But his friends who don't even know how to speak English, they got a job and getting salary in thousands. So he got mental depression and suffered a lot. Her lover Anandhi also moved to north India. The 75% of the film is flash back. Prabhakar (Our hero)telling the story to Karunas who have the camera. After that he went for Anandhi. While he was in depression he did two murders. The Making is so good. Dialogues are very interesting. Director Ram has done a very good job. It was his first silver screen movie but you could not find out while watching the movie. Music Yuvan Shankar Raja. One of the best music director in Tamil Cinema. Jeeva as a Prabhakar , also done a very good job. His dialog delivery and expression are really good. Anjali as a Anandhi she also done her job very well. Her cute expression are likable.

    Finally 10/10.

    The Best , yes i mean it

    When everyone going GA GA about Bolly wood, as usual a simple Tamil movie wins hands down. This is perfection. Right from the direction, followed by cinematography, acting, music everything blends so well to make it a master piece. Its pity that this flick didn't do well commercially. However who cares? its a must watch for any movie buff. Jeeva with a meaty role and the heroine is a revelation to Tamil cinema. Prabahar, the director has joined the league of Bala and Ameer easily.

    Some say Nayagan is the best movie made in contemporary Tamil cinema.Here comes the winner to surpass it with its simple beauty with lots of elegance, satire, the feel and everything.

    It will hit you hard. Period.

    Kattradhu Thamizh - A master piece from Debut Movie Director Ram

    When the season of commercial movies were ruling the box office, suddenly comes this man 'Director Ram', with a script which is way new and a very disturbing story in Tamil cinema. There are few movies to be remembered in the past and Tamil M.A is one among them.

    The plot and the screenplay of the movie is something new and it is still consider a movie to be played in all media colleges for film learning. The story travels with a man who is graduated in Tamil and the struggles he goes through to live a happy life which eventually affects him mentally. He searches for his love 'Anandhi'.

    This movie is been re-released after 10 years in few theaters in Chennai, and I got a chance to see this film in big screen. Kattradhu Thamizh is one among the best films ever made, and the character's realized their importance of the role and gave their best.

    If your passionate about films/ budding directors, you should really check out this movie. This movie teaches you all about Cinematography, Editing, Screenplay, Characterization, Directing and so on.

    Yuvan's music carried the movie so beautifully. The album hit from musician Yuvan were in loop in all play list, even Today.

    Director Ram is the only one who wants to try something new for his fans and for Tami cinema.

    Kattradhu Thamizh, never fades away no matter how many movies we watch.

    10/10

    Best tamil movie of all times.

    Any user who regularly follows IMDb and watches tamil movies and are impressed by some quality works in tamil and had watched katradhu tamizh would give it a 10/10 with eyes shut. You got to see the movie to believe it is such a movie. A movie might have a great story but might lack screenplay, music or acting and in other ways also. But can you imagine a movie where everything was 100 % perfect ? Watch katradhu tamizh. Story and Screenplay is pure magic. Acting ... Hmmm There are only few in tamil cinema who gets compared to Kamal haasan. And probably, Jeeva walked with that crown quite easily... He has defined acting in the movie. Music... C'mon... This is the best music you could have ever heard. Yuvan had given some really soul stirring numbers that make you go into a trance. Editing by sreekar prasad makes you feel not watching a movie but something real and cinematography is another feather in the cap. To cap it all, the director is a debutant. Unbelievable. Isn't it ? Watch Katradhu tamizh.

    The movie is a great take on the current Indian scenario where rich people are getting richer and poor people suffer due to that and also the frustration and anger that is building on the less privileged people.

    This is one of the best movie one could ever see... Just don't miss it.

    Dark and Gritty

    One of the best movies of India. Story, direction and acting is beyond brilliant. It is so dark that Joker (2019) will look like a kids film. It is hard hitting and impactful movie. Must be watched by every movie lovers just to enjoy the achievement of the movie maker in storytelling and direction.
