Sadly Over-hyped

A Major Disappointment

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

If you love crime thriller genre then you are in for a treat. The story is beautifully conveyed. The acting is just flawless. The darkness of the movie is just carried out till the end. The movie never turns monotonous. Some may find it violent and yeah on certain occasions it turns out to be violent but that is how this story meant to be. Every department has been beautifully covered like corruption,ill treatment of the poor,the struggle they face. The love story was for a short time but the sadness of it you can feel when you look back and think about it. I would say go for it and just admire the beauty of this masterpiece!!

Beautiful portrayal of emotions, helplessness of innocents corrupt system. Credit to the casting team, no character seemed out of sync throughout the cinema time. No wonder it won amnesty International Italia award. Makes one see how human rights are being violated. How Innocents are victimized by the corrupt state agencies, which are meant to protect them.This movie is a director's special. Danush not only as an actor has good taste in cinema, he's proved himself as a successful producer. Initially my choice of movies were based on the actors, then actors and directors and movies like these makes one choose based on who is producing that movie, such is the choice of Danush's movies.

Vetrimaaran deserves allocates for having given the best from the team. The extent of enduring pain is as plain as water as they stutter and fumble with their bloody bruised bodies. The hard- riviting screenplay is unstoppable, making no move to shield you from the bitter realities of the merciless world. cameraman S Ramalingam perfectly complements the script by depicting the pain, torture and humiliation while GV Prakash's haunting background score makes it happen like real, The sound of flesh being torn apart by brutal lathi blows will make one finch and even experience it. The story portrays as how innocents are often brought in to fill cases which cant be solved. The extent of torture they undergo to make them underwrite the crime they have never committed is painful and morally awakening. The film brings out how gruesome our criminal justice system is, and the lack of transparency, access to judicial services and no signs of accountability at the cutting edge level is making the common man suffer more every day. It is not to say that all police functions are gruesome. But the movie brings up how the dark side can be and how dangerous it can be to the life of a common man when the power is uncontrolled.I sincerely hope that lockup deaths and police encounters will no longer be mere flash news after watching this movie, as the film sends across a spine chilling message which needs every ones attention.

I m shivering as i am typing this......... Gut wrenching.....Ufff!! I m exhausted!!!! Truly sucked out every last bit of my soul!!!This is too realistic to be labeled as a film.....An extremely violent intense political conspiracy is the apt genre.... Really tests the audience mental strength!!! My heart was pounding during the entire 110 minutes of running time...... Gonna have hard time sleeping at least for a few days!!!This film will undergo some serious cuts before releasing in theater's, as the characters depicted and their language are too raw... Hope censor board takes it easy and release it with minor cuts.....Dinesh, U beauty.....Wat have u done!!!.....National Award is awaiting!!!Out of all the 100 films which i ve seen this year, this tops the list like a Boss.... Too good even for a WORLD cinema standards!!!! Take a bow, Vetrimaaran!!! A Masterpiece in filmmaking!!!!
