Story
Kaththi stars Vijay in dual roles, as
soft hearted leader Jeevanantham aka Jeeva and thief Kathiresan aka
Kaththi. Story begins when Jeeva is dealing with the problems of farmers
in his village being a graduate in Hydrology. On the flip side Cedric
Peter Von [Neil Nitin Mukesh], a business man who buys farmer lands and
plans to sell them.
Film trolls in an expected way with
clash between Jeeva and Cedric. Meanwhile, Kaththi escapes from Kolkatta
jail and plans to fly to Bangkock with the help of his friend Ravi. But
happens to save his soul mate Jeeva and accept his position to solve
farmers burning issue. Romantic side of Kaththi is shown in the interim
with Ankita [Samantha]. How Kaththi saves Jeeva? Will he be able to
solve villagers problems? Forms the crux of Kaththi...
Performance
Vijay has effortlessly
carried all the angels, be it be Jeeva or Kaththi. His dance moves,
fights and dialogue delivery, just takes the movie a step higher.
Neil Nitin Mukesh takes
the center stage after Thalapathy. He looks charming and has given a
promising performance along with neat dialogue delivery and perfect
dubbing in Tamil. There couldn't be a best debut for him than Kaththi.
Samantha has been given
enough scope, as per story line. She has done justice to the role in
her comfort zone. Sam looks gorgeous, it could have been much better if
she matches Ilayathalapathy's energy, especially while dancing.
Sathish and the age-old grandfathers' had their contribution in the movie.
Plus Points
Minus Points
Technical
AR Mmurugadoss is one such smart story
teller who can read viewers mind. Coming to Kaththi, it has strong
social message that is aptly delivered with Vijay's face. Only lagging
part in the film is the first 40 mins, which needs a few trims. Else
Editor Sreekar Prasad has done a great job.
Kaththi is a new addition in Anirudh
Ravichander's sequential hit list. Background score of the movie is as
interesting as his soundtrack.
George C Williams visuals are treat.
Intro jail scene and interview scene are well shot. Songs and fights are
captured with grand visuals. Effective team work could be seen in the
'Coin flip' fight sequence. Stunts are one more asset for the movie.
Analysis
Vijay-AR Murugadoss's Kaththi will be
much appealing as a story oriented movie than a sleek action thriller.
Though the movie has enough portions of romance and comedy, they are
just sidelined. So as the songs played speed breakers.
Samantha has nothing to do with the main
script. She is been just a glamdoll for the rest. Neil Nitin Mukesh is
one more actor from North [Bollywood] who proved his mettle in
Kollywood, to be here just like Vidyut Jamwal.
Pre-climax Vijay's speech is something similar to Vikram’s speech in Anniyan and Vijayakanth’s speech in Ramana.
Final Word
Sharp Kaththi with few Blunt Edges...
