    Vijay 'Sethupathi' defines a cop

    The film starts out with an opening song 'Mazhai Thooralam' describing the life of an Indian cop.By the time this song ends,you know you're moved already.

    Vijay's body language is perfectly suitable to the 'cop' role.And that moustache - mass!I'm sure that this film is the best of his till date.Heroine and other actors were given decent roles.Although a routine cop story,direction was pretty good.

    The BGM music composed by Prasanna was mind-blowing.Every song had different combinations of rock and pop.The film is a perfect family and action packed entertainment.

    Trust me you won't regret watching 'Sethupathi'

    How to make a movie like a soap opera 101

    Zee tamil has mastered the art of relaying TV serials all 7 days a week with the addition of this movie to it's roster. Vijay sethupathi has 0 emotions as usual in his delivery and his fans go crazy crazy for his most bland expressions like he's Sivaji ganesan.

    Sethupathi: A Cop's Journey Through Music, Action, and Mustache Magic

    He movie "Sethupathi" kicks off with the soulful opening song "Mazhai Thooralam," which beautifully captures the essence of an Indian cop's life. As the song fades out, you're already emotionally invested.

    Vijay's portrayal of the cop is spot-on, with his body language perfectly suited to the role. And that moustache-massive! In my opinion, this film stands as his best work to date. The supporting cast, including the heroine and other actors, also delivered commendable performances. While the storyline follows the familiar cop genre, the direction manages to keep it engaging.

    The background music (BGM) composed by Prasanna is nothing short of mind-blowing. Each song blends rock and pop elements in unique ways. Overall, "Sethupathi" offers a delightful mix of family drama and action-packed entertainment.

    Take my word for it-you won't regret watching "Sethupathi." 🎬👍
