Kolai

The director's over-confidence shows in the first frame itself,with unnecessary VFX shots spread all over the film spoils the mood of the flick which is not upto the standards... A mono musical track and it's bgm is the soul of the movie which is well -placed into the movie...!!!

Vijay Antony is a natural performer though just a grey hair change out in makeup and his personal melancholic mood sets out a drawback to the film... Rithika Singh is just a blunt presence and does nothing to justify the role.... Camera work and bgm saves the movie from a major disaster ... Overall a one-time passable flick to run out of ur time.

Probably the worst ever Tamil Movie i saw after SURA(Was Much Better) . The CGI was so heavy it just killed the movie spirit along with bad BGM. I wonder how the Cinematographer amd Editor could take and edit such Non sense movie and i still wonder how Director and Producer approved it. The Short Films guys have better Cinematography skills.

Pls do not watch this movie as you will be wasting your precious time. I agree the concept choosen was good,But Cinematography, Editing, BGM and even VJ Anthony acting never made an impact on this movie. I saw IMDB rating as 5.3 just logged in to give this movie a 1 star. (Since no option to have negative rating).

A fine classy thriller for the ones who believe in good cinema. The pace & writing will make you feel as if you are a part of this investigation. The VFX is of international quality , the color grading is just perfect & BGM syncs well with the mood. The camera work is impeccable. Vijay Antony is different from what he does always. The Director's vision, narrative clarity, shot taking, treatment, detailing is in a class of its own. Every single actor is remarkable and the technicians behind the screen too have excelled. If you love intelligent films and filmmakers, then this is for you. Cheers!

Why do movie makers use so much of CGI these days? I guess if they are making a Prime or Netflix movie they resort to CGI but this was just an overkill and even funny to watch at times. The production value is as worse than a TV serial which these days are made better than movies. For a Vijay Anthony movie this was a major disappointment. This is why Malayalam movies are on top of their game these days, they are as real as they get and the acting is professional and to the point. I wish movie makers focused more on quality than quantity. A very big let down by Vijay Antony. I'm sorry but can't give this movie more than 1.
