A character study of the locals of Kammattipaadam
24 May 2016
This is a movie which is not for those who want to watch a completely entertaining thriller/action , but for those who want to see a documentary type/close to reality kind of drama.The treatment and style of the movie-making is similar to the movie 'Annayum Rasoolum' so those who enjoyed that movie will probably like this too.The biggest problem i found in the movie is that the first one hour or so of the movie is really entertaining and thrilling but the rest of the two hours does not match that and felt boring, the movie could have been cut short to a two hour movie so that it could become more enjoyable to the masses.

Performances of Vinayakan as 'ganga' and Manikandan as 'Balan' is really good,though a small role Soubin Shahir did really well as a negative character and his screen presence is amazing , Dulquer did an okay performance ,The heroine also did good. The bgm of the movie is also apt and soothing.The ending of the movie is not so great and felt mediocre, mostly because the movie dragged so much in the second half that the audience desperately want it end as early as possible.

This is a movie which is similar to Gangs of wasseypur and not everyone's cup of tea. There is nothing much to say about the story of the movie. If you are into appreciating the performances characters in a movie and would like some thrilling and comedic scenes and three hour+ runtime won't bother you then you gotta give this movie a try.
