Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu review

Conceived as a two-part film, Gautham Vasudev Menon's film has all the familiar material that you expect from a gangster film but also a few departures and ...

The formulaic twist of using the wife/girlfriend as bait is quite disappointing (how it unfolds reminded me of Kaakha Kaakha), and I wish Siddhi had more to do in the film than play the love interest. Just how far Gautham has moved away from his previous filmography is evident in where the hero and heroine (Siddhi Idnani, playing Paavai) meet – in a small clothes shop where a shy Muthu needs to buy underwear. It’s a risk because the audience may complain that they didn’t understand a line here or there, but it makes the film sound a lot more authentic. Muthu’s back is covered with thorns as he jumps through the flames and over the fence to save his life – it’s a metaphor for what’s to come. When his mother (Radikaa looks miscast) makes him remove his shirt to make a point about their suffering to his uncle, you can see the loss of dignity in his face – and he conveys it without needing to break into tears. He’s shown to be fearless in his village, but it’s more the fight of a cornered animal than the flamboyance of a hero.

According to the trailer, Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu is a crime-thriller story of Muthu, a character played by Silambarasan TR. Muthu, who primarily hails from a rural area, is on a quest to find his identity, and soon he rises to the perils of power by ...

Gautham Vasudev gives his voice as a narrator to tell the audience about Muthu’s journey to the Bombay Underworld and provides a point of view about him. The crime, thriller, and entertainment-filled Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu gathered whopping views of almost 13 million on YouTube within a day of its release. - Another fan praised the director and Silambarasan TR’s performance.

Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu Tamil (Theatres) Director: Gautham Menon Cast: Silambarasan, Siddhi Idnani, Siddique, Rating: 3/5 With 'Achcham Yenbadhu ...

[Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/deccanherald/) Simbu internalises the pain of an accidental criminal who is always regretful of taking lives. The director’s love for Mani Ratnam is in full display. In fact, Gautham brilliantly reflects the cold, matter-of-fact operations of the underworld. Muthu (Simbu) is forced to fight for survival in Mumbai. With ‘Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada’ (2016), Gautham Vasudev Menon stopped narrating gangster stories from the point of view of a cop.

Despite intriguing ideas and an invested Simbu, VTK's refusal to dive deep into the world of immigrants and gangsters means that a lot of potential feels ...

And yet, we are expected to fill up a lot of such meaning and detail in our head, with the film not quite showing great desire in wading into them. And much like in that series where the wand is said to choose the owner, here too, someone says that the gun picks its master. The high point that the first half of VTK moves towards too, is somewhat similar. How has it affected him, and how has he affected it? I also enjoyed that Madhushree’s ‘Mallipoo’ is sung not from the perspective of the dozens of dancing men, but the lonely woman we don’t see in the video call. The allegory, of course, is of people—like Muthu—whose lives hurt and hurt without respite. And when Paavai eventually wears wedding clothes, that’s when you know she’s in real trouble in the GVM universe. Sophistication is a luxury for the impoverished Muthu (Simbu maintains a rather distinct, lopsided walk throughout the film). Someone else says that the gun controls the man and not the other way round. This scorched setting of Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu Part 1: The Kindling, while the title flashes, serves as a prelude for what is to follow during the remainder of the film as Muthu negotiates with the life-equivalent of fires and thorns. [played by a thoroughly invested Simbu](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/tamil/interviews/2022/sep/14/silambarasan-tr-gvm-brings-out-the-real-actor-in-me-34668.html)—is unusual too in the GVM world. At several points in the film, the strange power of this gun is alluded to, almost like it were the Elder Wand in Harry Potter.
