    Dark and Gritty

    One of the best movies of India. Story, direction and acting is beyond brilliant. It is so dark that Joker (2019) will look like a kids film. It is hard hitting and impactful movie. Must be watched by every movie lovers just to enjoy the achievement of the movie maker in storytelling and direction.

    The Best , yes i mean it

    When everyone going GA GA about Bolly wood, as usual a simple Tamil movie wins hands down. This is perfection. Right from the direction, followed by cinematography, acting, music everything blends so well to make it a master piece. Its pity that this flick didn't do well commercially. However who cares? its a must watch for any movie buff. Jeeva with a meaty role and the heroine is a revelation to Tamil cinema. Prabahar, the director has joined the league of Bala and Ameer easily.

    Some say Nayagan is the best movie made in contemporary Tamil cinema.Here comes the winner to surpass it with its simple beauty with lots of elegance, satire, the feel and everything.

    It will hit you hard. Period.

    Best tamil movie of all times.

    Any user who regularly follows IMDb and watches tamil movies and are impressed by some quality works in tamil and had watched katradhu tamizh would give it a 10/10 with eyes shut. You got to see the movie to believe it is such a movie. A movie might have a great story but might lack screenplay, music or acting and in other ways also. But can you imagine a movie where everything was 100 % perfect ? Watch katradhu tamizh. Story and Screenplay is pure magic. Acting ... Hmmm There are only few in tamil cinema who gets compared to Kamal haasan. And probably, Jeeva walked with that crown quite easily... He has defined acting in the movie. Music... C'mon... This is the best music you could have ever heard. Yuvan had given some really soul stirring numbers that make you go into a trance. Editing by sreekar prasad makes you feel not watching a movie but something real and cinematography is another feather in the cap. To cap it all, the director is a debutant. Unbelievable. Isn't it ? Watch Katradhu tamizh.

    The movie is a great take on the current Indian scenario where rich people are getting richer and poor people suffer due to that and also the frustration and anger that is building on the less privileged people.

    This is one of the best movie one could ever see... Just don't miss it.

    A surprise Package

    A movie which came up with zero expectations and was highly acclaimed for its shear class.I was really surprised by the fact that this movie was made by a new comer.Everything in this movie is perfect.Story,Screenplay,Direction,Editing,Music,Cinematography and so on.

    I need to give a special mention about Yuvan Shankar Raja's music.He suddenly drifted from his stereo type techno genres to this breath taking unorthodox use of violins and flutes.A music which will make u vibrate,Make u cry,make u feel the pain of love and what not.Hats off to him.

    One big reason i went for this movie is Sreehar Prasad.A six time national award winner has proved his class once again.

    The actors were just on target without overdoing their part and were perfectly suiting the roles.

    The director truly is precious gem to the Tamil cinema and has really got the potential to take Indian cinema to world stage.

    In spite of great reviews and acclaims,this movie wasn't a commercial success and didn't get any awards.This really pricks me each and every time i watch this movie.Such good and bold cinema can come in Tamil or rather in India only if their hard work is recognised.
