The masterpiece of Indian film.. Thalapathy vijay just awesome
10razeen07
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.
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

A Diwali treat from Ilayathalapathy. superb songs nice action.Beautiful songs and a thought provoking social message..Vijay as a hero carries the entire movie on his shoulders.Vijay's comedy timing is better than Sathish..Neil Nithin Mukesh Villain ism is a new Genere in Tamil cinema.Neil Nitin does a fabulous job as villain.last but not the least Anirudh.Anirudh Bgm is Mind-blowing.to be frank mass Bgm Mass.George Williams cinematography is outstanding.flash back scene is bit dragging but that's the soul of the story.well obviously it's a dark,intense and sensitive content.you cannot expect a edge gripping screenplay actually it has.but most of the viewers will surely watch with the movie with the mindset of Thupakki which is an Uncomparable all-time blockbuster.the movie technically sounds great. you can Witness a quality and visual sparkles in the movie.top notch Dialogues and of course it's an arm movie .
"Straight of the sheath, Kaththi is sharp most of the time, but not always. AR Murgadoss has come out with a film which has a neat social message, packaged well with mass entertainment elements. Vijay carries the film in a tricky dual role, which brings out the star in him whether doing comedy, romance, songs, fights and emotional scenes".
The film's story revolves around Vijay's dual characters – Jeevanandham and Kathiresan. Jeevanandham is a social activist who fights against a large corporate, which is planning to usurp the fertile lands of the farmers. On the other hand, Kathiresan is a thief who has escaped jail and is on the run. How Kathiresan steps into Jeevanandham's shoes and leads the fight against the corporate forms the crux of the story.
"Vijay as Jeevanandham & Kathiresan has delivered a lifetime performance, and showed a brilliant variety in both the roles, albeit not even a great makeover between both the roles,"
"Technically, Kaththi is a storm. The film possesses stunning visuals thanks to George C. Williams. Editing by Sreekar Passed is neat, yet a few trims in the first half would have stepped on the pedal. The art direction is surreal, and the stunts do bring up the ante, especially the coin flip fight sequence.
Don't miss this one!!!
