Poikkal Kudhirai

I enjoyed this movie immensely. I count this film as one of the best movies I have seen in 2022. My first Prabhu Deva movie was Kadhalan (Humse Hai Muqabula 1994) and I saw it in a cinema.

Since then I have been fascinated with his talented actor and I have seen him perform great dance numbers in movies. Prabhu Deva is so versatile: he is an actor, dancer and director.

In this movie he has acted very well and should deserve an award for his role. He plays a handicapped man who lost a leg in an accident. His wife has passed away and he looks after his infant girl by himself. One day during a dance event, his girl collapses and is rushed to a hospital. There the doctors find that she has a congenital heart defect and needs immediate heart surgery, but the cost for the operation is beyond Kathiravan(Prabhu Deva) means. The rest of the movie deals with the events on how he is able to get the money for the operation.

A similar American film I have seen starring the legendary actors Denzel Washinton and James Woods called John Q(2002). You may also enjoy the Irrfan Khan movie Madaari(2016).

Back to this film: It follows all the rules: great script, acting and sound-effects backed by professional cinematography. There are plenty of thrills in the film along with solid action sequences as will most movies of this genre. It can be classed as a dark action-thriller and I enjoy well-directed movies like these.

Overall, I thoroughly recommend this one and also if you're a big fan of Prabhu Deva like me.

P. S. 1st person to review this movie.
