    Vijay is back with a Bang

    The film conveys a strong social message which depicts the current pity situation of farmers, where their resources are exploited by multinational companies.

    Regarding the first half, the screenplay is much slow and dramatic which makes you unfocused off the movie. But the film takes on in the second half with racy screenplay.

    Vijay's performance looked neat where he had emoted good in few scenes and avoided unnecessary punch dialogs. Actress Samantha is adequate in the movie. She is just used for filling the glamor quotient. Cinematography by George is appreciable.

    What worked out in the film is, A.R. Murugadoss' bold attempt in depicting country's corruption as well as MNC's con moves by razor sharp dialogs.

    Finally, actor Vijay has succeeded once again by joining with A.R. Murugadoss after 'Thupaaki'. After the failures of his previous flicks, Vijay had managed to rectify his mistakes and A.R. Murugadoss had well used the actor in the film.

    Kaththi sharper than Thuppakki

    One of the best script and dialog's in recent Tamil movies. Vijay performed very well. Hats off to ARM sir and BGM is mass.Samantha is cute as usual.Neil Nitin Mukesh was perfect for his role.The message which was spoken in the movie is well conveyed and it will reach every corner of India. The dialog in the climax is class, Vijay delivered it in a very good manner. Dialogues in many scenes were too good.Only negative thing i feel that is the song placement.You can't compare Thuppakki with Kaththi, Thuppakki is an action thriller movie and Kaththi is an emotional social message movie. Overall the film is a blockbuster and a must watch movie.

    Nice one from Ilaiyathalapathy VIJAY

    Another nice movie from the director of the blockbuster THUPAKKI.The movie ensembles the real life struggle of the farmers who experiencing the water scarcity.Vijay's acting skills are charismatic and he have done best on both of the dual roles.Again director Handled the social problem in an correct manner.Overall the movie is good. Background score is an masterpiece of aniruth ravichander.Character selection for the movie is good.Samantha's performance should be appreciated all the songs are good the negative thing in the movie is dulling comedies by karunagaran.We have to majorly thank the elder ones who acted in the movies because all of them done a great performance.According to the sources the revenue of the movie is profit and also ANOTHER 100CR collection record for VIJAY

    Blockbuster of the year 2014

    AR.Murugadoss again comes with an excellent story line.. First half reached up to an above avg with explaining the life of Jeevanandam and the old people.. An excellent narration of the story makes so strong inside the audience while the mass components were reduced while comparing with other vi jay films..!! interval punch was simply superb with the punch "i am waiting" once again...!!!! second half starts as Kathhiresan involving more into Jeevanandam life... and goes well and ended brilliantly by AR.Murugadoss.. good direction makes the movie into higher level without any lag...and also main positive is that there is no even a 1 minute romance seen in between the serious story, other than the songs...!!

    Thalapathy steals the show... Recently the best from Kollywood...
