      Dark side of MADRAS

      Prestige, Politics, Friendship, Love & Anger is MADRAS.

      Director Ranjith selection in cast and other technical crew work's out without any fault. All lead and supporting gave the new colour to the Chennai. Supporting actor Kalaiyarasan seems to be a promising one in the future. Composer Santhosh Narayan's delightful music is extraordinary.

      After Berlin wall, Madras movie has a dangerous wall. Realistic stunt sequence is trending among the Action lovers and this move doesn't fail to keep it.

      Verdict: Welcome to the new colour of Chennai city.

      One of the best

      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.

      Madras (U/A) TAMIL ----------- my Rating : ★★★★ HAS A BRUTAL WALL

      STRENGTHS :- * Story Screenplay Direction.... * Casting and Performances.... * Madras slang was perfect.... * BGM and "Naan nee" song.....

      WEAKNESSES :- * Few songs....

      FINAL VERDICT :- * Overall... the movie has a good concept which gives karthi a chance to come back... Do watch it ....

      A wall is a source of discontent between two political rivals. Kaali and his friend Anbu, who is a party worker, get embroiled in this clash.

      A nice message movie for the masses....the original madras citizens

      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

      Beautiful Madras

      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!
