Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Tarun Srinivas After recent failures, Vijay finds success again through Kaththi.Directed by A.R.Muragadoss who earlier directed Vijay in Thuppakki, he again emerges victorious in making a movie which is both critically and commercially alright. The movie showcases the plight of farmers and the problems they face during farming.Coming to the story, Kathiresan(Vijay) is a criminal who escapes from Kolkata jail and goes to chennai. He spots Jeevanandham(Vijay again!!!!) being shot by a group of goons. He decides to trap Jeeva and get him caught by the Kolkata police to escape imprisonment and lands in the place of Jeeva. Meanwhile he learns that Jeeva is the in-charge of a old age home where he is fighting a case against a multi national company headed by Chirag(Neil Nitin Mukesh shines....).He soon realises the gravity of the situation and also finds that Chiraag is also trying to kill the old age home inmates and Jeeva. He then decides to fight the case in the place of Jeevanandham.Vijay has shown remarkable development in acting. His characterizations were handled well by Murugadoss.Samantha plays the usual heroine role and she does her part well.Satish and the other character artists provide ample support.From the word go, Murugadoss rocks the screen with well written scenes and dialouges and especially the climax where Vijay explains the plight of farming and the occupation of farmlands by MNC's illegally were well executed. Anirudh nails the BGM right from the start and even entertains Vijay fans with a mass number. George.C.Williams's cinematography is exceptional.The coin fight scene is a really good idea but gets repetitive at the end.Also the transformation scene of Kathiresan is not so believable and could have been handled better.I don't know why leading ladies are selected if they aren't offered any important role in the movie.Truly speaking ,romance doesn't find a place in this gripping saga.Finally Kaththi is a action thriller which highlights the difficulties of farming and illegal activities of MNC.It is a touching tribute to the farmers of this country.It truly deserves a watch.

Nandhu gp This was a fun movie and its definitely better than Vijays last few films but I have to say its an average film and not better than his old films like Pokkiri. This movie is not better than Hollywood films having rating more than 7 and bollywood films like 3 idiots. Most of his fans gave 10 on this film and this film doesn't even deserve 8. This film is just hardly 7. Some scenes like the fighting scene where Vijay beat down 50 is just too much.There was not much scene for the heroine.Also There are too many coincidence the film too. This film also had great twists that makes the film very unique. Overall this is an impressive movie from Vijay but not the one of his greatest.I will give this a 6 on 10

avineeth22 Kaththi was a very nice and entertaining film,with a very good social message,and i have watched it 3 times already,i have not got bored of it,and im still watching it whenever i have time.Very nice acting by Vijay,and his double role is a different side of him which i have never seen in his other movies.Samantha is a bubbly heroine which you would like to see in the film.Sathish is a good comedian and it was his best in this film in my opinion.This is a good movie to entertain you when you are bored.It has all the elements:Action,Comedy,Romance,and Sentiments.All in all good story,stunts,comedy,sentiments,romance,action and strong social messages.My favorite Vijay movies in a while.

dreambigwin I was encouraged to watch the movie and many friends recommended it on the lines that if you liked Ramana, you will like this movie. But for some reason, I found the script totally lacking common sense and showed the lack of depth in knowledge of the writers of the plot. The plot is centered around the struggles of villagers versus MNC(Corporate). The word MNC and corporate are overused in the movie, that it left such a bad taste to me. Maybe it would have been nice if someone explained Economics 101 to the writers of this movie. My distaste for the movie stems from the simplicity with which commercial Tamil movie makers want to handle the script - black versus white. Heroes versus villains. A lot of movies these days have transcended such stereotyping showing all possible greys, but this movie should have been made like 40 years ago, and then possibly it would have deserved all the praise. In fact a basic fact check would disprove the premise of the whole movie. Farmers earn more when they sell their land to acquiring corporates. It is simple market mechanism. If a beverage company dries out a river, it just means, we people are lazy and like to indulge in carbonated drinks. As long as there is demand, you cannot villify the firms for it. On a sidenote, both Pepsi and Coke follow sustainable practices for most part, and I would encourage the writers to check about it. And the farmers are none the poorer for selling their land to acquiring firms. See all the farmers driving BMWs in Gurgaon. And please for Godsake, companies do not collude as shown in the movie. If you want to switch off the real world and enjoy a masala cum emotional movie, then you will probably like this one. But please please do not come from the movie hall thinking the plot is real or even close to reality.
