Soodhu Kavvum" stands out as my top film of 2013 for various compelling reasons. Firstly, the captivating introduction and the creative display of the film title set a wonderful tone. The unpredictability of the plot, coupled with impeccable editing, keeps you guessing at every turn. A refreshing departure from typical comedy tropes, the humor in this film is brilliantly executed, providing a welcome break from the usual. The ensemble cast delivers outstanding performances, each actor playing their part with finesse. The songs, seamlessly integrated into the narrative, enhance the overall experience, with "Kaasu Panam Duttu" being a personal favorite. The film's comedic brilliance lingers, making it a memorable experience that beckons repeat viewings. The screenplay, dialogue delivery, and acting are nothing short of extraordinary, contributing to the film's overall brilliance. Notably, the well-edited action scene involving the police officer adds another layer of excitement. Contrary to the notion of waiting for the DVD, "Soodhu Kavvum" deserves the big screen experience, making it an ideal choice for a theatrical outing with family or friends. Embrace the enjoyment this film brings - it's a theater-worthy experience not to be missed.

Film was good until the psycho officer enters and then goes for a toss. This is no way Snatch movie level. Don't even compare.

One of the most hilarious movies made in recent times, this one showcases how some minimalist-yet-efficient can elevate even a simple, plot supported by some excellent writing, direction, editing and performances. Set in today's urban India, without dwelling on the way unemployment is all-pervasive, along with lackadaisical attitudes to work itself, and the way life has become cheap in the face of blatant flouting of the rule of law and everything society needs to keep the criminal element in their limits, or behind bars. In another mainstream flick, this could have been the typical honest cop and politician taking their time and attitude to clean up the dregs of society, but in débutantes Kumarasamy and Kavineyam's deft hands, turning the typical trope around, and narrating it without making it heavy-handed from the typical heroic perspective, elevates the material into something that has to be experienced in order to gain the full extent to which one can be entertained. To be circumspect, I was not impressed with the way it all began, but once I got past the first 15/20 minutes, and the montage of what the main crew was up to commenced in earnest, I was hooked. This movie has surprises galore, with the way the quirks of the gang-leader have been presented - it allows us to poke fun at those elements, but always treats him with respect in spite of those, and Vijay Sethupathy, like in all of the other works he's done, never drops character. His sequences with his girlfriend, in the midst of all the planning and all the action, are a treat to behold, for a movie that never loses focus from the 5 tenets of, ehrm, kednaping. Evoked 'Neram', while also reminding how much better realized this was than the former, with both of them having various elements in common: An almost doc-level appreciation of today's urban milieu, treated with utmost sincerity and respect. Real characters uttering realistic lines, and not getting away with anything they do. Actions have consequences, and no (ehrm, good?) deed goes unpunished. None. Almost treading into creepy area, with the subject matter, but keeping the tone light nevertheless. Cinematography, prod design, art and sound design, along with the score in service only to content, that is ultimately controlled by the maker. 1 excellent teenmaar song, in this case being 'Kaasu Pannam Duddu Money Money'. Where 'Neram' failed, IMO, was in taking a few artistic liberties that would not have seemed out-of-place in a mainstream flick, but did stand out there like sore thumbs, to use an oft-repeated cliché time and again. This one, on the other hand, embraced its Indie roots, and stayed true to that. It was nice to see Ashok Selvan (Thegidi) joining hands with both Simha (Jigarthanda, Neram) and RJ Ramesh Thilak (Neram) and the whole thing, to me, worked as an Indie ensemble. I will look forward to seeing anything this team works on in the future as well, while remaining surprised that the writer and the director have not made anything since this one. Joined as they are by veterans Radha Ravi (have not seen him in many, but he has been slumming too) and MS Bhaskar (also in character throughout - nice little feat). It was also nice to see Karunakaran and Yog Japee (he looked familiar) for the first time, and I am curious to see other works they're in. As I mentioned earlier, in a different genre of movie, Japee would've been the main lead. And that, would've been one hell of a boring yarn. And oh, Santhosh Narayanan (Cuckoo, Jigarthanda) did the score. Not to be missed. Not in cinemas, but do purchase the DVD. I'm super-glad I bought mine, and look forward to introduce this to like-minded enthusiasts.

Enjoyed this movie until the climax. Actually until the 'psycho ' officer comes. Could have been better if the last 30-40 minutes would have changed towards the climax. Vijay is just superb. He is a brilliant actor. The comedies are also very good. I would like to recommend this movie. A good feeling comedy with 2% thriller, 1% twist.

Wow... finally a breakthrough . For us Tamilians the time has come to bid adieu to Hollywood movies from directors like Guy Ritchie for we've got one here. Definitely a world class characterization filled with black comedy with no words to describe. Vijay Sethupathy does it again selecting an excellent script. Everyone in the movie has a definite role. The Indian political 'Thamasha' is dealt superbly with a couple of scenes near the climax. There are a number of favorite scenes in this movie but the best was at the CM's office talking to his minister and the son (I avoid spoiler by not saying more).I paid 150 bucks to watch this movie at a local theater. This movie paid well and even more, for a movie fan like me. Waiting eagerly for more movies of this sort from the team.
