Nice effects though.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

first of all vijay is a poor actor, it will be a crime and shame to humanity if we call his movies as movies. But tamils have no choice, being brought up in a cinema culture created by corrupt political mafias and criminals, we Indian people have no damn clue what actually IS a movie. Vijay exists as an actor because he was made to act by his father, producer who does nothing but real estate fraud with dravidian political parties.Vijay is indeed a great actor, he acts as if he is an actor...!!! :D thats his biggest performance. He pretends to behave like a rich talented actor. what a joke.coming to the movie:- As usual, its full of nothing, tamil people think that just because something sounds right. it should. NO. It doesn't.let me explain tamil people's mindset.for example if we look at the vijay film Villu's story, it will sound good if written in any language:- A crime fighting police officer feigns romance with a woman to catch notorious gangsters wanted by Inter-pol.sounds awesome right?... ha ha ha.... u cannot watch the movie, its like a child's drama. The same applies to every film of vijay.This is no exception. The nonsense about villagers, water disputes and what not , all of these are irrelevant. waste of time, space, energy an OXYGEN.

Kaththi movie has many flaws. 1st of all, how come a cola company wait until Vijay find's water underground and kills the land owners/farmers the same night? they could have send in even 100 engineers to find water and done the same killings before itself. Dual roles for Vijay but not even a single difference in appearance. In fight scenes doesn't any goons have a mobile phone light?. TV & Print are media shown in such bad light. Sad that only if some established hero's do movies like this, at least his fans talk about farmers plight (film's theme) otherwise the film itself would have gone unnoticed. So i call it a MONNA KATHTHI.

The film starts with the slow paced story line which might make the audience to feel as if that this is going to be usual Vijay's commercial flick. Later after 15-20 minutes of running the film actually starts and take us into the plot. Being very much fond of farming, I always aim to become a farmer. As this plot is about the issues faced by farmers in real time, the movie has clearly explained the current situation of corporate world and the farmers. The scene where few farmers die to create hype in the media so as to help Jeevanantham(Vijay) was well planned and shot thereby explaining the real time happenings in the Media world. Recommend everyone to watch this film as this has a strong social message though it has some slow pace portions and few misplaced songs within it.

Trailers of some movies promise much but when it comes to the actual product, it will be a disappointment. The opposite too happen where the trailer gives a lackluster or ordinary feel but the end result or the movie would be a good watch. A. R. Murugadoss directed Vijay starrer Kaththi falls under the second category. Kaththi marks the coming together of A R Murugadoss and Vijay after the hugely successful Thuppakki. The film is a mass entertainer but not the typical mass film for a Vijay film. But it is a watchable one that does not disappoint. At the same time Kaththi tests the logic level on many times but who cares when it is a Vijay film where logic side of the brain takes a backseat.Dealing a socially relevant theme with the case of a mistaken identity in the backdrop, the film begins from Kolkata where Kathiresan escapes from jail but ends up in Chennai and have to take the role of Jeevaanandan, a social activist fighting against a Corporate house trying to forcefully take ownership of a land in a remote village. The film focus on the fight by Jeevaanandan and the villagers to protect their land that can serve water for two neighboring districts.The film is not a typical mass masala film with action, songs and romance in high doses but each of these elements are present in the right proportion with songs and fights well placed that makes it a good watch satisfying Vijay fans as well as neutral audiences. On the flip side, the length at 161 minutes could have been easily trimmed by twenty minutes which would have made it a more pleasing watch without any dose of boredom. Coming to acting, Vijay as Kathiresan is your typical mass hero with mannerisms which we have seen from the actor very often while as Jeevaanandan he had a different role to play and he did both these roles quite well. For Samantha it was the normal Tamil heroine role but she had good screen presence without much dialogues to say. Sathish as the Vijay's sidekick did his comic role well and supported by Neil Nitin Mukesh as the central antagonist.Action, choreography and camera work stood out in the technical side. Pre interval punch scene and coin fight are scenes that will raise the adrenaline rush especially if you are a hardcore Vijay fan. Anirudh's music and background score elevated the film and helped in providing the needed feel. The song sung by Yesudas that appear at the fag end of the movie is my personal favourite and a good melodious number.Overall Kaththi is a watchable mass film and without any comparisons with Thuppakki and with limited expectation, it doesn't disappoint you. So it is not a razor sharp and thrilling film from A R Murugadoss but a sharp flick that serves its ultimate purpose of entertaining you.
