Good acting by each one in the film. So many twists and Unexpected Climax. Music was backbone for some places. No need of songs. Director was well thought of the film. Some scenes are mesmerized the way it was taken. One time watch and Great Suspense Thriller....
The way of story was better. Then the narration was superb!! But few twists were Expected, Have a decent crime thriller experience!
Pradeep Krishnamoorthy's Kabadadaari is the official remake of the Kannada film Kavaludaari. We have seen many crime thrillers in Tamil and Kabadadhaari is definitely one among them. Kabadadaari is a thrilling film that wasn't made in the usual commercial format. We don't have unnecessary romance, dance numbers or even, superhero kind heroism which is refreshing. There's a certain uniqueness in the narrative pattern which works at moments. The interesting plot points that derive from the original film seem to have their proper place in this one too. It actually works at times and gives us a certain excitement during the narrative but it wasn't effective which is a major letdown in this film. Kabadadaari doesn't connect us with the characters. We are not able to feel their emotions or to understand their mindset because we don't have the much-needed emotional connectivity. There are few emotional scenes that are not strong enough to make us feel for it. Despite having strong performers, we don't get the effectiveness or the connectivity needed which is slightly disappointing. Sibi Sathyaraj is playing the role of Shakthi, a traffic constable who is stepping into a very old crime case without his higher official's permission. Sibi Sathyaraj fits well in this role and performs with his given space. Nassar plays a pivotal role and his performance is definitely helping the film to be more interesting. Jayaprakash dons another justifying pivotal role. Kabadadaari might fall prey to a middling screenplay but it's lifted by the brilliant background score of Simon K. King. After creating a pulsating background score in Kolaigaran, he is the one who drives the film effortlessly. His background score keeps us thrilled in the suspenseful moments. Speaking about Director Pradeep Krishnamoorthy, he has done purely justice to the content. The flaws that keep us away from the narrative could have been well done but honestly, Pradeep has made a film that would make your time. Overall, Kabadadaari is a decent crime thriller with some surprising twists.
It is one of the best of Sibiraj after a very very long time.
The film got a good surprising element as it takes us through a few decades old incident revivals/investigation that unfolds a lot of characters but still giving a strong foothold to each characterisation by the director was something that shows their efforts they've put into the script, keeping us engaged & gripped almost throughout the film making us do the guesswork of who would've been the culprit and when that surprise unfolds it definitely gives a nerve maybe because of the kinda revelation or the bgm or something but that piece was interesting though it could've been done in a much better way by having a known face/villain(like KS. Ravikumar or Petta villain) in that character as it'd have amplified the role as a whole and also the dialogues/convo b/w the pro/antagonist could've been bettered up to give even more amplification. But, overall it was a good watch for sure.

A traffic police starts to investigate the murder when he saw bone remains in bridge construction area...
Once he starts it leads to big shots and politicians..
Finally he find out the culprits and bring into justice..
Nice story and script for crime thriller subject but poor making and casting...
One time watchable movie..!
