Soodhu Kavvum

Wow... finally a breakthrough . For us Tamilians the time has come to bid adieu to Hollywood movies from directors like Guy Ritchie for we've got one here. Definitely a world class characterization filled with black comedy with no words to describe. Vijay Sethupathy does it again selecting an excellent script. Everyone in the movie has a definite role. The Indian political 'Thamasha' is dealt superbly with a couple of scenes near the climax. There are a number of favorite scenes in this movie but the best was at the CM's office talking to his minister and the son (I avoid spoiler by not saying more).I paid 150 bucks to watch this movie at a local theater. This movie paid well and even more, for a movie fan like me. Waiting eagerly for more movies of this sort from the team.

The movie was excellent. The story was very good in the movie. Songs and BGM were good in the movie. The movie is thrilling and funny. Everyone acted very well in the movie.

Saw this movie today and I cannot remember when was the last time a movie made me laugh so much. The movie is a dark comedy with a brilliant script which meanders through the various realms of life that make of a typical Indian. The joblessness of youth, the dreams of a bright future, the authoritarian dad, the protective sentimental mom, the prodigal son, the loyal friends, the bullying rule-keepers, the ingenious cousins, the mythical sensual flame, fate's impeccable sense of humour, the Indian polity...it has all these stereotypes brilliantly inter-woven into a brilliant dark comedy. In many ways it reminds one of Guy Ritchie movies, and in many ways it reminds one of "Ek Chaalis ki last local" and again in many ways of "Jaane bhi do yaaron". In a way, this movie is an amalgamation of these and perhaps much more, but yet stays unerringly true to its own Chennaisque character. Very clever movie, and a salute to the director, scriptwriter and the actors (Vijay Sethupathy in particular) for pulling off a wonderful job and making a clever and entertaining movie. Keep 'em coming!

Soodhu Kavvum stars Vijay Sethupathy and Sanchita Shetty, along with MS Bhasker, Ramesh, Simhaa, Ashok, Karunakaran, Yog Japee and Radha Ravi in significant roles.

Dass, a small-time smuggler, wants to graduate to the next level, kidnapping, which he believes is more exciting and lucrative.Pagalavan (Simhaa), Kesavan (Ashok) and Sekhar (Ramesh)are three desperate jobless friends

Dass convinces them that he has the perfected the art of kidnapping and asks them join him. Having no other alternative, they do.

Soon they become successful, and can pull off a series of kidnapping without any hitches.

there are no typical comic one-liners or forced comic situations With every film that he has acted in, Vijay Sethupathy has always managed to raise the bar to an entirely new level. As a Grey-haired, 40-year old with psychotic tendencies, speaking broken English, Vijay Sethupathy in Soodhu Kavvum is truly unbelievable.

There is some good all around performance, especially Simhaa and Ramesh, who manage to steal the show with their unpretentious and honest performance.

Full credit goes to the director, Nalan Kumarasamy, for transforming a simple plot into an extremely engaging film, with ingenious characters and entertaining situations.

Good cinematography, crisp editing and the refreshing non-conventional background score make this film even more distinctive. A must-watch.

Soodhu Kavvum, the best film I've seen so far in 2013. 1. The introduction and the film title display scene are wonderful. 2. Can't guess what's going to happen next and the editing was good. 3. The comedy was great great great, such a great relief from santhanism for a moment. 4. All the actors played their part very well. 5. All the songs are played well, mostly suited for the situation, and runs in background. 6. Loved the song, kaasu panam dutthu. 7. You'll forget most of the comedies, after watching the film, and wants to see the film again. 8. Extraordinary screenplay, dialogue delivery and acting. 9. Loved the action scene of that police. good editing there 10. For those who says "DVD vanthurum athula paathukkalaam", this is a film worth watching in theatres with families or friends or anyone. 11. Enjoy this film watching in theatre

Highly recommended.
