Usually I refrain from watching action films. 'Upgrade' was the first one I liked (I think), but so called masterpieces such as Mad Max: Fury Road didn't interest me. However, Kaithi is different. LK delivers a better film than his first (maanagaram), which almost entirely consists of action. The aspect of the film which worked so brilliantly was the beating emotional core that everyone could understand: a father who simply wants to meet his estranged child. Tamil cinema should cease producing garbage star-powered vehicles such as 'Theri', 'Mersal', 'Bigil', and 'Viswasam' and start producing stylish and classy films like this.
