Absolutely amazing

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Blistering performances.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The movie was not so good. There are many vulgar scenes in the movie. Songs were bad in the movie but the BGM was good in the movie. This is not the best of Vikram.

Movie: Kanthaswamy (U)Rating: 3/5I called this film a regular Vikram fare because of two reasons - First being the fact that every Vikram film deals with social issues, and the second, it's entertaining like all his films. This film just adds to the greatness of Vikram sir, whose previous entertainers like Anniyan have won over the people.It's really amazing to see Vikram sir as a superhero. His getup as the superhero is really fantastic. His performance is the best. Prabhu's role is like a regular officer, but even he does well. Susi Ganeshan arrives in a small but fine role. The best part of the film which I felt was realistic approach. This happens even in case of fight scenes. If you see superhero style flying action, you have the justification in the following scene. The action scenes are really amazing and the film hardly has any disturbing scenes at all.However, the thing I didn't like was the vulgarity by the heroine Shriya, though she tries to look glamorous. The editing is not at all crisp as the film's runtime goes beyond three hours and that's pretty patience testing. The comedy track looked forced and it would have better been chopped off. The music was fine. It means the editing of the film stands been Kanthaswamy and a huge victory. But overall, it's not a disappointment, for you get to see a new kind of a superhero. On the whole, if you are a fan of Vikram as well as realistic social superhero films, watch Kanthaswamy. It's not very perfect but then who in this world is able to give a 100% always?

There is no doubt that this is a bad movie, so why bother writing any more about it? well for on thing, the editing is the worst kind possible, the screen is flickering and flashing ALL the time, not just for special action scenes, but for every scene, the brightness is out of control and the flicker is introduced to make the movie seem interesting and fast...the editing is also choppy, the cuts are in milli seconds throughout and the comedy track just shoved in forcefully....vikram has a good look in this movie, but for decent movies in the same genre see, aparichit (vikram), nayak (anil kapoor), hindusthani (kamal hassan) (all the above are by shankar)

Nice exotic locations for songs. Songs lyrics were silly especially meow meow song. The best thing about this movie is vikram's coolness from start to finish and he never has looked more handsome,fresh and fit than this. The heroine is similar to the padayappa(rajni film) character except this time they both end up liking each other.There was one scene where the men in suits(with guns) were hit by a car and escapes but then they choose to fight the hero with their fists when they could av easily used guns to finish him off. They took such a long time pointing their guns to the hero(who was blindfolded)and refused to shoot him straight or take his left arm as ordered.Instead they wanted to play with him. The action and plot has many loopholes.Does prabhu always like be a cop in every movie?About songs, they were so boring....and no wonder the movie did not do well. A tamil movie has chance of doing OK or superhit if it either has a decent plot or nice appealing songs for Tamil as seen in vijay movies.An actor like Vikram should not be misused like this. They have good chemistry but the plot is a let down for his fans. We expect superb performances or dialogues in vikram's movies.The director should keep that in mind.Is this tamil cinema's answer to bollywood krissh? If so it failed.This movie has more style than substance.
