A script that brought out a bit of controversy which was in no way related to the movie, but a good script nevertheless.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aratrikaspeaks.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/kaththi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-171 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aratrikaspeaks.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/kaththi.jpg\" alt=\"kaththi\" width=\"729\" height=\"386\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So where should I start?<\/p>\n<p>Well maybe we can go in order. First came out this awesome motion poster (till then I honestly did not know that such a thing existed) which was claimed to be copied from some Hollywood movie. Honestly people! Stop it. Someone is trying to put out a decent movie which is something I haven&#8217;t seen in a while. So STFU.<\/p>\n<p>And then there came the teaser. Well the teaser left everyone speaking about it for weeks especially the final pipe scene.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kaththi Teaser | Vijay, Samantha | A.R.Murugadoss | Anirudh | Official\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DbooDjJh-wo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Honestly that scene was simply awesome in the movie as well. After that the trailer was making people second guessing their comments on the trailer. It surely did many peoples&#8217; hopes down since the storyline (assumed) almost sounded similar to older movies like Dhool and all.<\/p>\n<p>So in order to increase the hype, they released a couple of promo videos of the songs which looked in no way related to the trailer. Which kinda made me go back and listen to those songs all over again. Putting up the making of a song in the Chennai Airport is another move that made everyone get all hyped up. Seriously how did they manage to shoot inside the domestic and international terminal man?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kaththi - Making Video Promo | Vijay, Samantha | A.R. Murugadoss | Anirudh\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0tLEDcshApM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I gotta say this Anirudh guy has pulled off yet another awesome album. And the BGM. Oh lord! It was just too darn good and just thrilled up the screenplay even more.<\/p>\n<p>So what is this hyped up movie all about you ask? The same old story of a village being ruined by a corporate and a hero trying to save his village. Except that the hero is just interchanged in the beginning and in comes the guy who knows how to get things done because he is just another criminal who happens to look just like the hero. Things get rough and finally the village is saved from the cola factory.<\/p>\n<p>The stuff they mention in that movie makes us look at the soft drink we have in our hands while watching it. But then we still shrug it off and drink it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>An amazing screenplay though. I gotta tell this. Muragadoss knows how to get a good story turned into a movie. (Whether its his or not, I don&#8217;t care)<\/p>\n<p>And now you have brought another bollywood guy into kollywood. Won&#8217;t be long until Nithish(that&#8217;s his name right) will be starring alongside another hero in another tamil film I suppose. (Guessing from the fate of Vidyut Jamwal)<\/p>\n<p>What really bummed me was the presence of that heroine. Honestly was she even necessary? And the songs&#8230;. The airport song was good. But the other two duets, the visuals would have made a good video song separately. But they just weren&#8217;t right for the movie. Nope!<\/p>\n<p>What I liked the most was the fight sequences. Vijay fighting off two blonde who had infiltrated in the name of getting an interview from him was awesome. And then the coin flip concept fight was mind blowing. Especially the last part where his friend hands him the coin bag and runs to the main switch was unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>Samantha honey, I understand that you are cute and everything. But no matter how revealingly you dress or try to look as mature as possible, you still look like a school girl next to the hero and it almost looks like the kid infatuating on the guy in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qvudbl7WzAM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">short film<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On the whole, a usual commercial film done by vijay with just a little bit of communism mixed to it. But people don&#8217;t give a shit about the message you pass through anyway. They still keep using strawberry flavored lip balms(Ummm, People who saw the movie would know what exactly was mentioned) and egg extract shampoos. One thing that was evident is that the director trolled media and Vijay tv real good. I liked how he had named Neeya Naana \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>Oh! A final note: For all those who complain about my page long reviews and still sit and read it, why do you whine if you don&#8217;t like it? I write reviews because I want to share my opinion to someone and in this case the world. And the best part is the same people who complain are the ones who asked me why I haven&#8217;t put up a review when I told them that I saw this movie. Make up your minds people. Because you are giving me a headache when you do this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_167\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"167\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon small\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/aratrikaspeaks.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Finally happened to watch a decent tamil movie in Big Screen.
