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.
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.

Stop wasting your time in reading reviews, you just don't want miss the best of Vijay & AR Murugadoss, If you still want to know something then read on...
Water Scarcity for farming resulting in farmers suicide, Disrespecting elderly people, Media's hunger for TRP, Corporate/MNC's domination, City people ignoring villager's issue.. Well these are the various issues highlighted in the movie while the farmers issue being the main theme. Murugadoss is a master of screenplay and good concepts (like how he developed ACF in Ramana, 7am Arivu theme, 12 on 12 in Thuppakki) and this movie has some good sequences. He starts with bits & pieces and post Aathi song the movie picks up and ends with a bang. The technical dept is brilliant like Thuppaki, DOP George u rock man u r the future,I bet u wont miss Santhosh Sivan.. Anirudh's first big movie and he delivers well in Songs & BGM.. Sreekar Prasad continues from where he left in Thuppakki. Excellent Action sequences by Anal Arasu.. especially coin fight where he delivers a logical way of how a single person can fight 50 people,am stunned coz in Thuppaki too the fight sequences made sense,hats off to Murugadoss for it.
NOTE: Only in Thuppaki & Kaththi you can find a hero getting tired after fighting.
Vijay's performance as Jeevanandham & Kathiresan is excellent, the performance comes from body language,mannerism and Vijay is bang on.Get up change is not needed.. According to me he is the best for facial expressions..woww.. let it be the cute reaction after slapping Samantha or Mocking Neil Nitin after Killing him.
Neil Nitin is typical corporate Amul Baby, Excellent dubbing in his own voice for a first time Hindi actor in tamil.. now thats good
Special mention tp all the elderly people, they have done well.
Excellent choreos for songs, Paalam song & A fight sequence were removed to make sure movie is speedy enough.
The downsides are Samantha & Song placements.
Apart from Vijay fans.. post Ghilli 2004 probably Sachein 2005 & Thuppakki 2012 were widely appreciated Vijay films.. Remaining were either liked only by few or some had issues with remakes (come on everyone does remakes) But Kaththi will be liked by everyone...Vijay & ARM has Nailed it. I have not mentioned many things enjoy it in theater with ur family

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
The masterpiece of Indian film.. Thalapathy vijay just awesome
