Sethupathi Movie review
Director: SU Arun Kumar
Starcast: Vijay Sethupathi, Ramya Nambeesan, Vela Ramamurthy
We can never get tired of cop stories. Can we? Sethupathi too, like many other Kollywood movies, follows the cop theme but is still fresh in executing the script. The film is a revenge story between an honest policeman (Vijay Sethupathi) and a villain (Vela Ramamurthy). An incident that jolts a regular cop's life and how he battles it out forms the plot of the movie.
Thumbs up:
• Vijay Sethupathi's character and performance lead the rest in the list for reasons to go for this film. We have seen so many heroes as cops in Kollywood, but Vijay Sethupathi has created a niche for himself.
• As his on-screen wife, Ramya Nambeesan fits the bill perfectly. Her scenes with Vijay Sethupathi showcase some good content and chemistry.
• Despite having an over-used cop theme, the director has managed to hold our attention with the story and screenplay.
• The background score is apt as it enhances the pace and thrill of the film. Nivas Prasanna gets some extra marks for this.
• The interval holds an interesting twist that will leave you surprised and engaged.
• Vela Ramamurthy has played the mighty villain's role well. His dialogue delivery, style and overall performance looked effortless.
Thumbs down:
• The songs seemed forced into the movie. Better placement could have helped, maybe?
• The climax and ending of the movie seemed abrupt. You're sitting, waiting for a smooth finish and you suddenly see 'Directed by Arun Kumar'! Not cool, right?
Verdict:
Vijay's thundering performance along with farm fresh ingredients of entertainment make SETHUPATHI a good entertainer you can watch this weekend!
