Featured reviews
Kamal and Arjun appointed as head to catch a terrorist team.
They send a cop as a spy inside the terrorist group and collecting the information about them.
Accidentally Nasser the head was caught by kamal in a railway station.
Terrorists needs to know who is the spy and release Nasser. Kamal, Arjun needs whole terrorists. Apart from the main story many questions are being unanswered. Film doesn't say who are the terrorists what do they want? But, we can understand they are portrayed as Naxals.
Nasser plays with black dress which may refer Dravidism. Because the film title has black and red, which is the color of dravidian party. The People in dravidism always wears black dress but, the no on with dravidian idealogy are terrorists. They don't need to become terrorists because, they are ruling the party of Tamil Nadu.
I never heard a naxal raping a police officer wife and assassinating a central minister so cool, shooting a child, and many. The film ends with kids of terrorists killed by Kamal attacking Kamal's son and saying it is a revenge.
If you are a general audience, the film will be nice. But, if you dissect many questions come from it.

An example of action thriller movie in indian cinema carrier is kuruthipunal. Nailed it.
Nowadays youngsters think action movie means mass fight scenes. Search Youtube for top 5 action scenes of Tamil cinema, you will be surprised.
Inaintha kaigal, Kuruthipunal and Kaka kaka are trend setters.
Kamal, Arjun, Gowthami, Nassar and everyone played their character wisely. Kamal, Arjun and Nassar are apt for the Commando dress. Action sequence are flawless.
I missed this movie on my teen age because of it's A certificate. But after watching lot of Hollywood movies, now it seems, not too much. Think this is the only Songless movie in Tamil cinema.
10 stars for this awesome movie.

kuruthipunal will remain a hallmark movie in indian cinema, based on a movie by govind nihalani ("drohkaal") - kamal & p.c sreeram have taken indian cinema to new heights with this movie.
the tight screenplay, the excellent performances, the biting dialogues, the beautiful cinematography all add up to make this one of the best movies ever from india.
the movie did surprisingly well for a movie without songs and was well appreciated in urban circles. the non commercial approach actually added to the offbeat theme of the movie.
this in my opinion is probably kamal's best performance.
a perfect 10.
