      A society driven reality!

      Thriller cum Horror is what i felt because of things that were happening around. Background score adds to it perfectly. Nothing more could be asked. Simple yet a highly intense one by retaining suspense.

      Solving a series of death/murder mysteries!

      The last film I saw from this director was 'Eeram' which was one of the best horror films Kollywood had ever produced and was a trend setter in the modern days of filmmaking in the Tamil language. Now that genre is well explored that you can find every year films like that making its way out. Coming back to this one, I think it is a decently made film. Based on the book of the same name, the screenplay was given preference to the commercial elements like big stars' films. Otherwise, it would have been a better work from the director, as well as for the actor.

      Like todays trend in Kollywood's B movies to make a parallel cinema to the international standards, this one missed that opportunity. After successfully playing a negative role in 'Yennai Arindhaal', this is his comeback film as a solo for Arun Vijay. He had worked very hard for where he's standing today and for the role in this film. I hope he makes good films in the future as well.

      This is a police story. A murder, a missing person and followed by another attempt of murder, a young cop comes to rescue a young woman, but soon they fall in love with each other. On the other side, the story takes twists and turns while solving the crime. Finding out who and why, the narration enters the final segment and brings an end to everything.

      Much better film than list-A films and like I said it had the opportunity to be an even better film. One of the best police stories with good casting. The length of the film was a bit concern, though manageable because of engaging plot. The songs should have been trimmed off. If you are a native audience, it does not matter, but for the international viewers, it is definitely offbeat for such intensified crime-thriller. I'm not in favour of recommending it, but surely worth a watch.

      A solid thriller!

      Female murders, wonders of medical science, and a police officer combines to form this very likeable movie.

      It has a great premise with good direction, though the climax was rather average. There is plenty of suspense in the first half, but in the second half, it gets predictable. The only disappointing part is that the movie tries to force-feed its core message instead of being subtle.

      Good thriller & good story

      Kutram 23 is a good decent thriller. No lagging. Almost good investigation. Arun Vijay done a good job in this film

      Kuttram 23 a different film

      Kuttram 23, a different script than a usual story being handled by the director, and good casting done by arun vijay,mahima nambiar, movie starts with a good thrill right from the beginning of movie , the instant flash back scenes during the first half was a good move by director, good suspense till the intermission, later on the some scenes were predicable in the second half , Rerecording is good , with some OK songs,the focal length of camera could at mid level than at close up views at fight scenes, the final dialogue about orphans was really good at the end of movie, worth watching to now the meaning of 23 in its movies name.
