Starts with an outpour, ends with an outpour.

Outpour of emotions, unsettling moments, helplessness, hopelessness and whatnot! Extremely brilliant captivation of each and every character in the movie. Kudos to direction, cinematography and art direction. Top notch work is music which has Manidhi as my fav. Track. Movie doesn't have much commercial or theatre erupting scenes but it is filled with moments which are perfectly true for the situation and the very base idea of the title - Iraivi. This movie is not a celebration of women but talks exactly what women-hood is.

My most fav. Character is Ponni played by Anjali which is award worthy in all sense. Cast was so perfect that, none of them seem like a misfit or less efficient in-their own space. Movie is definitely a once in a decade kind of a movie that takes such a subject and stands true to its core idea.

Personal Note: Watched this in theaters back in 2016 when it was released and I assume I missed so many details. Did a revisit and Man, what a making, Mr. Karthik Subburaj. Hats off to you and the entire team.

Love the twist in tale. It was heartening and completely fulfilling to see the lads getting back to where they belong - In Style

147 minutes! Does it sound longer to sit and witness a single night's event? If you are an indian movies follower, does it sound boring to watch a movie which doesn't have a female lead or any songs to tap our feet? Huh. If you have any more of such doubts, take my answer. This movie is utterly impressive and absolutely worthy of your time and money. Lokesh Kanagaraj who made Managaram which again was a thrilling tale of few characters in one night. It was perfectly casted and made as a complete film and hence all eyes were on Kaithi. Lokesh had just arrested me with his screen writing and treating every scene with so much conviction to blow audience's mind completely. The cast again was topnotch. The constable Napolean (Maryan), Anbu (Arjun das), Inspector (Naren) and every little character was so tailor made for everyone respectively. It gave a fresh sense of viewing the movie as the buzz it creates right from scene one was perfectly fitting. Except for a slight (very minimal) slump in second half which was actually unavoidable to have the story completed, the movie was amazingly well crafted to it true genre. Loved this movie and look forward to next avenues of Lokesh as he seem to be one of the greatest asset to Indian cinema already.
