Madras

Engaging from start to end. Very realistic and has some great acting. The wall itself feels like a character in the movie and that's a big win.

Director Pa ranjith even in his previous movie attakatthi, now in this movie portrays the emotions of common man of north madras correctly....

Nowadays i'm keep on wondering on the astonishing growth of Tamil cinema industry....Rather than showing usual fights, usual dramatic romance, usual heroism, usual buildups of normal Indian movies...they are standalone....This movie is one of its kind....

It clearly portrays the normal chennayite.....It showcases two different characters...one anbu, a energetic, political knowledged bravo...who is keen on developing the people of their region....another one, Kali(actor karthi)...a friend who just want to live his life happily...

As everyone has written so much in the above reviews..i don't want to narrate the story once again..i just want to tell some important things and drawbacks in this story

The film gives a social message to oppressed people as well as others that political knowledge is a must....As we are seeing the effects of lack of political knowledge in this dumbest generation......It also shows usual fights of the same region guys....

selection of actor karthi is good......but heroine selection is normal....They should have chosen some local chennai girl for this story....Even Anbu's wife Mary could have been selected as a heroine, as she represents the face of north chennai girls, moreover she is nice and beautiful....But Catherine will suit for other stories that will be story packed as well as commercial stuffs....

every song is nice...background sometimes playing when it doesn't require and it doesn't play when it is required....Like it plays when the masses try to erase the wall by pouring paints..at that time the music try to diminish the main thing protest...and it is been portrayed dramatically...Likewise when kali try to kill villain guy at last...simply background music plays..it should play when viji kill already beaten villain....

Of total...it is total superb movie with a important message that everyone should be taught of social politics which is needed for todays generations...and it shows kali starts doing it..instead of becoming usual hero involving in politics....Hats off to director pa ranjith...It 's a movie which we shouldn't miss

A must watch movie. Showcases the real life of the people of chennai. The influence of politics on them and their lives. This is a must watch.

The film encompasses elements like politics, drama, friendship, romance, betrayal, revenge and pride, and is a gripping affair all the way, with just a few minor breathers in the second half when the fare becomes predictable. The first half sets the benchmark pretty high with the tense, action-packed interval segment being among the best this year. Editor Praveen deserves credit for making the first half as taut as it is. Karthi has to be appreciated for accepting this script where he is just a part and not the pivot. This is easily one of his best and his noted caliber as a versatile performer comes to the fore again. In the raw fist cuffs and brawls, Karthi's intensity, punches and slaps appear truly real. Credit to the stunt choreographers too. Madras is definitely high on action!

Watched 'Madras' movie recently. You can see the teamwork on each and every frame. They have shown the life of the people as it is in the real life and not making compromises for the cinematic elements. Karthi should be really appreciated for giving scope to the other character 'Anbu' which was the main role in the first half of the movie. And the characterization of the other actors in the movie was perfect. The guy who did the Johnny character was simply superb. Heroine did her part well, except in some parts she did not blend well into the people shown in that area. That's mainly because of her makeup in some sequences.The background score by Santhosh Narayanan was simply superb.He always stays away from the limelight but his music speaks a lot in the movie.

Overall this movie is a very good entertainer and thoroughly gripping.You name it whether it is cinematography, background score, casting, fight sequence , they did very well in all the departments.

Go for it. Don't miss this one!!!
