Rocky

Raw and rustic . After too many delays , finally movie released on big screens . This movie completely exceeded my expectations . What a debut from Arun Matheswaran . Films with strong violence and gore are rare in Kollywood cinema , this movie gave an another level experience . Story was quite simple , a asusual revenge and survival thriller story , but the way they narrated the story was intresting . Eventhough story traveled bit slow it wasn't boring . I think Vasanth Ravi has great future in Kollywood , his performance was topnotch in the movie . Bharathiraja as antagonist done great job . Other cast played their part very well . We should really appreciate technical team . Cinematography , music and editing were topnotch . Climax was just 🔥 . Overall a most watch movie . If you like bloody , violence and gore , then definitely don't miss it . It deserves to be watch it on big screen .

This is a detailed view of "Rocky" directed by Arun Matheswaran. This movie created some expectations with its teasers, so I thought why not give it a try. The movie starts, I felt quite uneasy for the first 15 minutes the long walk sequence was so annoying the hero walks and walks and goes on, personally felt that sequence was a glitch in a fantastic game. Other than that particular sequence nowhere I was letdown throughout the movie. What a fantastic and astonishing movie the debutant had made. This might be the best debutant work one could ever have done. Through the first half, I thought why "Barathi Raja's" role was praised it could have been done by whoever the role has been offered to, there comes the start of the second half he literally nailed the scene. Rocky, Manimaran, Sami, Nataraj, Malli(Both) and Amutha and the "poo movie person" too, are the perfect ingredients of this movie. Need to say about "Darbuk's Siva" literally am a fan of his work from Kidari, his background score I felt apt for this one. It gave vigor to the movie. DOP did a neat job. Vasanth Ravi, what a man he already proved his worth in Taramani now this tells it's not a piece of one-time luck. Arun Matheswaran did great work, now expectations for his future movies gonna be bigger, and hope he delivers better. I came through one of a person's view on this film and I liked that one it says the plot is about "our valkaiyai thulaitha manithan thanku kidaitha oru nambikaiyai kapatri kolgirana" such an wonderful take on the movie. (Its a war between "A hopeless man trying to hinge through the hope he found and the persons who trying to shatter that hope")

Frist of any other things great direction mades along with great frames , great casting , great screen play. Although it's average and same story but what makes it a must see movie is the way it presented and the casting who made exactly like characters.

A bold violent thriller with raw and bloody. An unceasingly intense performance by Vasanth Ravi. Bharathiraja equated the protagonist with his role. Director Arun made it engage with his narration style. Excellent Visuals by Shreyaas Krisha, his lighting, compositions and sound design added more depth to the film. A treat for cinephiles.

It's a shame that the only way print available right now for this is heavily censored. The glorious arthouse violence is too cut up. But even with so many abrupt cuts, it is still an ultraviolent introspection of violence that is inherent in us. Also feels like there's more inner meaning that is related to the Tamil struggle in Sri Lanka that I may not have understood completely. But this director has made such a beautiful film with a small budget, I'm excited to watch his other films. Got to check out Saani Kaayidham and also Captain Miller from the theater this weekend. Hope they will release the uncut version some day.
