Gatta Kusthi was definitely interesting, comic, and touching on core values. Somehow, the screenplay felt too common and could have been approached in a more innovative way
DELICIOUS
-Gatta Kusthi was very entertaining from the get-go and Karunas (playing Veera's uncle) was in part responsible for this because he went above and beyond. His chauvinistic mannerisms and comments were too funny
-VIshnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi were simply fantastic Kudos to Redin Kingsley playing the temple servant petrified by his wife
BLAND
-So, the movie carried a good lesson on empowering women and teaching husbands to honor their wives, but we've seen this so many times before.
It'll actually be better to see these lessons implemented in Tamil cinema rather than just preaching about it in movies because too often, female characters are marginalized
-Aishwarya Lekshmi's fighting choreography could have been more robust and aggressive. The constant use of slow motion seemed to be hiding some imperfections.

This is an pure fiction Movie. Don't expect any logics, because you can't find one. Main plots explains the reality and requirements of women empowerment. But they totally forgot about mens and described men's as the most dumbest creatures in this world. One of the key characters karunas gave an wonderful annoying experience. No words, simply irritating. Kingsley's comedies all are really fun to watch. I can't say this is one of the best movie because it lags good screenplay, reality and logics. Vishnu vishal's come back is really appreciable and Aishwarya gave an fantastic screen time as an wrestler. Delete the climax from your mind, that was really lame. Unwanted villain, unwanted or worst writing on climax. Watch, Laugh and Forget. I personally prefer Dangal over this movie for Women empowerment.
Gatta Kusthi movie's view point is something thoughtful to the audience where the women is getting dominated by the men especially after the marriage life. A direction is very meaningful... No doubt for the comedy entertainment. Definitely a Humorous movie. In this society mostly the husband will be a dominant character where he can't be accepting to be dumbed before his wife. But in this case, Vishnu Vishal is acceptable to his role and executed his performance accordingly. And Aishwarya Lakshmi's role is super hardworking. Humour, music, cast and crew, required location is entertaining. Congrats to Chella Ayyavu.
Gatta Kusthi is a refreshing blend of mass entertainment and meaningful messaging. While it checks all the boxes of commercial cinema-action, comedy, music, and drama-it cleverly challenges patriarchal norms and gender stereotypes without ever feeling preachy. The story unfolds with humor and heart, gradually introducing progressive themes through smart writing and emotional depth.
The performances are standout, especially from the leads. The male protagonist takes on a brave, layered role, while the female lead breaks away from clichés with strength and grace, becoming the soul of the film. Their chemistry is engaging, making the narrative both personal and symbolic.
Technically polished, the film features vibrant cinematography, crisp editing, and a well-balanced soundtrack. What sets *Gatta Kusthi* apart is its ability to make the audience laugh and reflect at the same time. It's bold, entertaining, and thought-provoking-a rare achievement in mainstream Indian cinema. A must-watch with a powerful message.
In summary, Gatta Kushti is a film that deserves to be seen and talked about. It entertains, it questions, and it inspires. With strong performances, a compelling message, and high production value, it delivers on every front. Whether you're watching for the fun or for the deeper themes, this film will leave you with something to think about. It's a much-needed addition to the landscape of Indian cinema-and a slap in the face of patriarchy, served with a smile.

The attempted story line gives a breath of fresh air in tamil cinema.
The movie starts off in splendour setting the scene and strongly imprinting the intensity of each of the charcters but at some point fails to keep the tempo going.
The female lead character Keerthy is well played by Aishwarya Lekshmy. The cheek fillers looks a bit odd, and a the short haired version would have been nicer with some better hairdo as it stands out very weirdly. The acting was fairly good , but some clear difficulty in transitioning between the tough and the soft characters is felt.
The male lead character Veera is brilliantly played by Vishnu Vishal. His physique and hardwork is well noted. But his character loses a bit of justice from the initial build up.
The Comedy part by Redin is a big let down. I wish the script writers had focussed a bit more witty and funny scenes, as there were many opportunities, where they could have cracked the laughter pot and made it memorable.
The anatgonist role played by Dass ( Ajay) and Rathnam ( karunas) was given built up very well but those characters gave up weakly without any justification for the role played. Moreover a reaction after knowing the real situation before the fight from the coach kodangi ( Hareesh) which was expected is also missing.
Overall, very good attempt, the movie along with characters loses tempo in the 2nd half. Looks like there was a bit of hurry to finish the movie towards the end.
Neverthless, Definitely a good family entertainer. A very good opportunity to teach children about gender equality and sports motivation.
