Kuruthi Aattam, which was released recently, is a Tamil action thriller film written and directed by Sri Ganesh. Produced under the banner of Rock Fort Entertainment, the film features Atharvaa and Priya Bhavani Shankar in the lead roles with Radhika Sarathkumar, and Radha Ravi among others in supporting roles.

The film was released theatrically as planned on 5 August 2022 where it went on to receive mixed reviews from fans and critics alike as well as the general audience. In response to the film's mediocre response, director Sri Ganesh expressed himself on the matter yesterday (August 22). He thanked all those who supported and wished him but also addressed the elephant in the room.

He took to his Facebook handle and wrote, "THANK YOU & SORRY POST. I want to sincerely thank everyone for the Support, Wishes, and posts during the release of #KuruthiAattam. Don't have words to express my gratitude ❤️🙏 Sorry for the Flaws in the Film, I will work hard, work genuinely to give a much better Film next time. Read through all the Reviews & Feedbacks. For people who missed it in Theatres, #KuruthiAattam in Aha OTT from Sep 2. Thank You all ☺️🙏 ❣️ ". Check it out:

Sri Ganesh's directorial debut 8 Thottakkal which was released back in 2017 opened to rave reviews from its viewers. It was a slow-burning cop thriller that changes track halfway and becomes a contemplation on life. It is a risky move because the film starts to empathize more with its antagonist and wants us to do the same as well, but surprisingly, Sri Ganesh manages to achieve this feat flawlessly. It was this film that had created a high expectation from Kuruthi Aattam that Sri Ganesh unfortunately could not live up to. But we cannot wait to see him redeem himself with his next film.
