Director Sri Ganesh’s debut 8 Thottakal and his sophomore movie, Kuruthi Aattam, have so much in commonplace. Each motion pictures are dense in the case of writing. It’s exhausting to get a hold of a one-liner for each movies. Kuruthi Aattam can also be referred to as a tale about Sakthivel (Atharvaa)’s relentless pursuit to give protection to the ones closest to him. Or, it may be perceived as the tale of Arivu (Prakash Raghavan), a coward, who needs to avenge any person who thinks he’s ‘sappa’ (Tamil slang for a wuss). And a large number of other people in reality do. So much occurs in Kuruthi Aattam that constitutes persona building – one thing we seldom see in maximum Tamil cinema. Sadly, within the pursuit of telling the place his characters are coming from, the director fails to inform the place the movie goes. Finally, finally the forged build-up, the movie heads for a generic climax. We don’t get the cathartic enjoy that we had been looking forward to and a key component for any revenge tale.
So far as the tale is going, Sakthivel is a clinical compounder, who assists in keeping making an attempt his Magnificence tenth Math examination. In one in all his re-attempt tests, Vennila (Priya Bhavani Shankar) serves because the invigilator. No issues for guessing the place that is heading. In fact, each fall in love, and so forth. Then again, the catch this is that Vennila hates violence as a result of her father is an ex-con (sure, generic!). Alternatively, violence turns into an integral a part of Sakthi’s existence when he wins a kabbadi event and embarrasses Arivu. Now, Arivu’s cousin, Muthu (Kanna Ravi) is the son of Gandhimathi (Radikaa Sarathkumar), the highest gangster of Madurai. Arivu’s bruised ego results in the downfall of everybody round him.
This beautiful a lot units up the reason and the level for Kuruthi Aattam. However Sri Ganesh doesn’t forestall. He introduces Kanmani (Divyadarshini), a ill woman who bonds with Sakthi, to extend the emotional quotient of the tale. He doesn’t forestall there both. There’s any other tear-jerker of a tale with Sakthi’s sister Kalai too. And he doesn’t… by no means thoughts. This overwritten melodrama finally ends up being the downfall of Kuruthi Aattam.
As an alternative of serving to the movie, the enhancing and Yuvan Shankar Raja’s tune make Kuruthi Aattam appears to be like shoddy. It’s obtrusive that Sri Ganesh has put a large number of concept into the writing of the movie. It’s a long way from being lazy. That’s why it’s stunning to look why he hasn’t prolonged the similar effort in overseeing the underwhelming enhancing of his movie. Alternatively, Yuvan’s paintings is jarringly mediocre when the movie had such a lot scope. The songs are right away forgettable and one can realize a conspicuous reluctance with the unique rating.
Two issues paintings majorly in Kuruthi Aattam. One is the brilliantly-written persona of Arivu, subsidized through a commendable efficiency through Prakash Raghavan. He right away makes you hate the nature, and that makes us stay up for him getting his due. Secondly, the bromance between Sakthivel and Muthu (Kanna Ravi) is heartwarming. It felt natural not like the opposite emotional sides of the movie. Muthu is the one persona that we finally end up taking good care of.
Then again, those few issues fail to redeem the film. It’s moderately disappointing to look a generic movie from Sri Ganesh, who made a promising debut with 8 Thottakal.
