    Meaningful Commercial Film that we need

    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.

    Well written women empowerment film with the worst climax in the history of Indian cinema.

    The movie started of well. Aishwarya's role/character has been written really well. However, as a feminist, it triggered me when there were talks about gender discrimination throughout the film. It's almost the same concept in every South Indian film you know, where most of the storyline involves gender inequality. Nevertheless, my rating for this movie totally dropped during the ending, which is so poorly written. It's like they had given up on writing the storyline last minute and just made something up to wrap up the script.

    For very obvious reasons, this movie was not able to live up to my expectations. It does not reach up to the level of the bollywood film, Dangal or any other wrestling films; the starting did but the ending ruined the whole thing.

    Stereotyped Movie

    This movie is a based on stereotypes on men who lives in village. Some thoughts in this may be true but not all , this movie is only carried out because of actors and some humor. Music is not at best. One time watchable movie.

    But I want address some real issues in this movie that men are portrayed as guys who have many good expectations in marrying a girl, all have expectations in life because they see people growing up in a environment like girls should be like that like this... bla bla. The root cause is education we have to teach guys how to behave with girls and protect them not exploit them.

    Could have been approached in a more innovative way

    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.

    Entertaining

    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.
