Kaithi (2019) : Brief Review -

A Hollywood Remake converted into a 'Blockbuster A Grade Action Drama' in Tamil Cinema. Among all the South Action films i have seen till date whether it is on Television or on Mobile, most of them had insensible and unreasonable action sequences to please masses therefore i don't have much interest to watch such films. Somehow, Kaithi made it to my watchlist because of High Rating in IMDb and Bollywood Remake announcement. Now i can say that, Yes, South can make Sensible Action Films with right contect, well executed Action sequences and perfect emotional touch. Kaithi is a fine example of A Grade Action Film (not a thriller at all) which is far far away from those unrealistic and non sense action flicks where any thin hero could take on 40 healthy villains and make them fly high with unseen hidden punches. Apart from Action Kaithi also takes care of proper plotting from the start to the end having all the conflicts at right places. The leading role is amazingly portrayed by Karthi. He was into the character from the first scene and never took it out of him whether it is action sequence or emotional scene. It would be hard for me to forget his image and see Ajay Devgn in Bollywood Remake even though Ajay Devgn is a Great Actor. Rest of the cast is okay but no effective impact from anyone. Lokesh Kanagraj direction is matured which is rare in this genre because he kept the essence and content alive. He did not fall apart for adding comedy and make it just another masala film, rather he made it thrilling which is rare. And despite little dark tone the film became a Blockbuster success which proves that Director's vision to make an original flick in an unoriginal genre was right. Finally a relief from senseless Action flicks in South Indian cinema since Bahubali and KGF.

RATING - 7/10*
