Don

Surprisingly , a well made entertainer . Emotion , Comedy , Romance , action , motivation everything was very well balanced . Story was pretty simple, it was inspired from the director's life ( Cibi )and he presented it well . Cat and mouse between SK and SJ Surya was really intresting . 1st half was completely filled entertaining elements plus few dose of cringe too . 2nd half was also entertaining and at same time motivating . Last 20mins emotional scenes really worked well . Eventhough Comedy was bit cringe it worked in most of the places . Performance wise SK , SJ Surya and Samuthirakani were show stealers , their characters were very well designed . Eventhough Priyanka had less screentime her characterisation was pretty impressive . Again Anirudh with his music just rocked it . 2hrs 43mins runtime was too long . Overall a well made entertainer . After some disappointing commercial movies in Kollywood, this movie is a well made one . I hope Don will satisfy audience in every aspects .

Initially the movie seems to follow a overdone formula but it shines in the second half. From start to finish it keeps you engaged and the last 30-40 minutes is where all it's strength lies and is an emotional rollercoaster.

The director probably tried to sneak as much as comedy in this film which made it into a mess!

Everything was good enough to make family audience happy!

But there was a lot of illogical scenes in this movie! The student vs principal thing would never happen in reality!

The only good thing in this film is SK, Ani's Music and last 20 minutes!

The father sentiment worked really well!

Overall: 6/10.

College Don is the movie I needed to see . The first half of the movie itself is Comic Relief of the Movie ,laughed all the way through Intermission. Some scenes are straight up absurd. The love story was good .S J Surya gave a great performance as Principle but the highlight of the movie is the father son relationship between Sivakarthikeyan and Samuthrakani.

Oh my... Samuthrakani's performance is top notch and I understood why is he so hot right now as he's in every other movie I watch. The second half slowly turns into drama and by the time of the climax it takes complete 180 and turns really dark in a good way. This type of Father Son dyanamic is not new but this movie is different in my opinion ,it is so relatable and at times I was watching myself on the big screen and by the end made to think and appreciate my father a bit more.

My Nitpicks are some absurd scenes and a few characters which I was not into and my main nitpick is Anirudh's music , which is not bad but I felt it was basic and generic. I had high expectations from him after the massive success of Beast(by the way I keep the Beast Album on loop at night while sleeping every day since past month) and his consistent great music albums which are completely new and different from each other. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations , maybe this movie really didn't need Beast or Master level Albums whatever ,the fact I didn't like the music remains...

6.9/10.

It's just an ordinary movie comedy works at some areas first half good entertainer like typical tamil cinema second half full of emotions. Nice acting and one time watchable. Emotions connected very well in last few minutes👍🏻
