    Kathakali (U/A) TAMIL -------- my Rating: ★★★½ SEAT EDGE THRILLER

    New movie Reviews and lots more Hot news .... LIKE THIS PAGE : English Hindi TAMIL TELUGU Facebook : Movie Review by Yunus Irshad https://www.facebook.com/YunusIrshadsMovieReview

    Kathakali (U/A) TAMIL -------- my Rating: ★★★½ SEAT EDGE THRILLER STRENGTHS:- * Very Gripping second half..... * Story Screenplay and Direction..... * Powerful casting and performances.... * Racer sharp editing..... WEAKNESSES:- * Hip Hop's Aadhi's music and BGM..... * Few characters were not used properly.... FINAL VERDICT:- * Overall... it is perfect seat edge thriller, each and every scene was well placed. Makes you engaging with unpredictable scenes. I strongly recommend this movie if you like suspense thrillers. Vishal always doing same gangster film but it is lucky for him. An honest, simple common man is caught in a web of problems when is he accused of killing the leader of a local rowdy gang.
