Kannai Nambathey

Just finished watching this movie on Netflix. I quite like the director's previous outing (Iravukku Ayiram Kangal) and the protagonist's previous outing (Kalaga Thalaivan).

Coming to Kannai Nambathey, I was actually quite impressed with first 90 minutes of the movie. Unfortunately, the same clarity in writing is not maintained in the last 45 minutes.

Had the last 45 minutes of the movie handled differently, the result would have been a little better. However, if you are into crime drama thrillers this a very good watch for the weekend.

Quite liked the performance of Vasundhara Kashyap. Snall role though.

There were some promises early in the movie deserving the one star rating. As the plot became more and more convoluted, the movie becomes bigger and bigger mess! I had some hope that it will all make sense somehow in the end and God I was so wrong!

The plot was thin. Had lot of holes all the way. Add the seemingly endless co-incidences and it is a recipe for a very poor movie! This movie is ripe with such impossible co-incidences where all the characters happen to be at the right place at the right time with the right weapons and right reasons!

I liked the ending because it was the end of the excruciatingly painful movie!

God, I wish I did not see this!

Story was too convoluted and felt like non sense.

The first 75%of the movie is just a waste of time, new characters are introduced in climax and the totally change the view. They made it seem like everybody knows everybody in a huge city. At one point I was confused what is the main mystery since there were too many.

First they wasted time in explaining one mystery and after that they introduced new mysteries in climax and the hero solved all the mysteries at once with or without knowing. That was surreal and no building of characters.

There is no logic in this movie.

I wouldn't recommend.

The movie had a good start and I saw I'm going to witness another interesting Tamil thriller movie but sadly this was a total disappointment. The director just focussed on giving some twist instead of giving focus on the character development. Many characters are not even needed in the movie.

For a movie to be watchworthy then the creator should give focus on the screenplay and the story. Here he had a good story but the loose screenplay totally ruined the film and the lighting used for the film makes the movie duller.

The acting however was fine, I wont say great but it was just fine. Go for it if you are bored and I'm sure you are gonna fast forward it.

Story is really boring . Story has huge plot holes which makes you leave the film halfway. Director tries to make a fancy thriller movie plot by connecting dots of several events. But he failed it really badly and resulted in no continuous story whatsoever. Director/Writer was trying to mimic a great thriller crime genre movie but springing a surprise twist at the end. But there was terrible connection with the events and the way film connected the events was hilarious.

Indian cinema have produced some fantastic storylines under this genre such as Raatchasan but this movie seems just a commercial movie made hurriedly for Netflix.

Please avoid watching this.!
