Kolai

The director's over-confidence shows in the first frame itself,with unnecessary VFX shots spread all over the film spoils the mood of the flick which is not upto the standards... A mono musical track and it's bgm is the soul of the movie which is well -placed into the movie...!!!

Vijay Antony is a natural performer though just a grey hair change out in makeup and his personal melancholic mood sets out a drawback to the film... Rithika Singh is just a blunt presence and does nothing to justify the role.... Camera work and bgm saves the movie from a major disaster ... Overall a one-time passable flick to run out of ur time.

Probably the worst ever Tamil Movie i saw after SURA(Was Much Better) . The CGI was so heavy it just killed the movie spirit along with bad BGM. I wonder how the Cinematographer amd Editor could take and edit such Non sense movie and i still wonder how Director and Producer approved it. The Short Films guys have better Cinematography skills.

Pls do not watch this movie as you will be wasting your precious time. I agree the concept choosen was good,But Cinematography, Editing, BGM and even VJ Anthony acting never made an impact on this movie. I saw IMDB rating as 5.3 just logged in to give this movie a 1 star. (Since no option to have negative rating).

A fine classy thriller for the ones who believe in good cinema. The pace & writing will make you feel as if you are a part of this investigation. The VFX is of international quality , the color grading is just perfect & BGM syncs well with the mood. The camera work is impeccable. Vijay Antony is different from what he does always. The Director's vision, narrative clarity, shot taking, treatment, detailing is in a class of its own. Every single actor is remarkable and the technicians behind the screen too have excelled. If you love intelligent films and filmmakers, then this is for you. Cheers!

Credits to director for bringing a Hollywood pattern to Kollywood, actor Vijay Antony essayed a neat role as a seasoned detective. High points in this film were music, visuals & art direction. Short runtime with Vijay Antony screen presence makes this movie an interesting one. Rest of the cast had less scope, but they depicted a decent job on screen. Too many songs in this intense story is the short coming. Need to trim songs in this mystery tale, so it adds engagement to the storyline. Newbie Siddartha & Meenakshii are seen in very good characters, also their characters are neatly written. On the whole, this murder mystery is a decent watch mainly for the rich visuals.

Kolai was a great watch with the narrative being in a unique style and the play of scenes and timelines where the plot goes back and forth is flawless . The cast was used again in a manner different from how we have seen them before which adds to the charm.

The way the emotions and possible scenarios that played in the detective's mind was shown as a scene to the viewers was beautiful.. The subtle hints dropped at the apt places and the execution of crime unveiling itself like untying of a difficult knot was a pleasure to watch ..

This was holding a classy style of how the story was said to us - the viewers...

Truly a tale not to be missed !!!
