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).

Wishing you all the best, Director Balaji sir, and Vijay Antony sir! Looking for more movies in your combination.

This movie is such a pleasant surprise, I have no hesitancy in highly recommend it. It combines well developed characters, a great plot, energetic music, high level production, and fun cinematic angles/tricks to make a fabulous "who done it". Even if Indian/foreign movies & subtitles are not your thing, this movie carries a universal appeal that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and have you leaving the theater with a smile. Actually the subtitles make it more fun, and they even throw lots of English lines. It's a surprisingly good-time movie, and you'll be glad that you took a chance on this non-mainstream movie.

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!
