VendhuThanindhathuKaadu what an outstanding movie it was! A diff movie from GVM. ARR songs & BGM were next level! Apart from all that SilambarasanTR_ nailed it, such unique acting from him. What an outstanding performer he is! Can't wait for part 2! BLOCKBUSTER!! Thalaivan has given his career best performance as 'MUTHU'! He's back to rule & there's no step back after this. Eagerly waiting for part 2! A definite hat-trick for STR-GVM-ARR trio!! Thanking GauthamMenon SilambarasanTR ARRahman for this outstanding movie! Definitely worth all your money to watch it in theatre. After movies like KGF2, Vikram, Don another blockbuster is VTK for this year. Throughly enjoyed this nearly 3hrs masterpiece! And this is how you should take a movie if it's gonna be 3hrs long.

This movie definitely isn't for everyone in my opinion. It's long, the pace is very slow, there are no hero centric moments, the love story isn't great, BUT if you love raw, authentic cinema this one is for you. VTK reminded me of films like Nayakan, Pudhupettai, The God Father, and Scarface. These were all stories that took their time to build it's characters, you see and feel every moment of their rise, and VTK does the same thing. GVM uses his 173 minutes of screen-time wisely by slowly building, layer by layer, this character Muthuveeran (played by Simbu) and you see his life, his journey, and then his eventual rise in the underworld. The first half of the film was my absolute favourite. The setup of characters and the environment and life they're in was so convincing, and it slowly built up in intensity to explode in what I'm now considering one of my favourite interval blocks ever. I can go on and on about the interval block but I just gotta say I absolutely LOVED the cinematography during that sequence. Moving on to the second half of the movie, this is where I felt it kinda let go of it's steam. We see this rise in pacing and intensity in the first half, with a stellar interval block, and then the movie decides to drop down again in both pacing and intensity, and decides to build that again. Which I'm seeing that some people liked, but I would have loved if they just kept building up from that point onwards. We're also presented with the main love track, which if GVM went his usual route, I feel like would have felt more necessary to the story. Not that it wasn't necessary, it played a key role in the climax, but I wasn't pulled in to their love story the way I was pulled in with AYM or Yennai Arindhaal. At points it also felt like it started to struggle to be a GVM film versus a Jeyamohan film. And then finally we reach the end of the movie, which to me was the biggest let down. The climax was great, but it was ruined with the rushed setup of a part II, ultimately resulting in a film that felt unfinished. But I do think once part ii comes out, and we get to look at this story as a whole, it'll feel a lot better. Just unfortunate that we can't see this as a standalone film. But I'm very excited to see Part II, and by the looks of it - it will happen. Finally, I just want to talk about Simbu. He KILLED it. There is not even the smallest trace of Simbu the star in this movie. He was a totally different person, he underplayed to his range, which was needed for this specific character. He's convincing as Muthuveeran, and you see him put in the smallest of details into playing this character which is believable from start to finish. He's definitly keeping his promise of only choosing scripts his fans would be proud of and as a fan, I am very proud of what he brought to the screen. Super stoked to see what he has in store for us in Pathu Thala, Corona Kumar, and eventually VTK part 2. In conclusion, Although the screenplay, especially with all the ups and downs in the second half of the film along with the rushed ending, could have been much better, this movie is one to appreciate. I didn't touch on it because we already know it's perfect but AR Rahman's music and background score was phenomenal, cinematography was so so so good, Simbu's performance was top class, and GVM is moving on to this new style of filmmaking. This may be a very bold statement but there are films made for movie lovers, and then for people who appreciate the art of cinema. This one is 100% for the latter, and should at least be watched once by all.

Two hours and fifty minutes.. Nothing new absolutely zero freshness. It appears the last ten minutes was a shoot and stich of the lead actor's real life image. The director is found fumbling all the way not knowing what to do, from the second act onwards. Poor screen play and criminal waste of time. Heroine might as well not be there. Gautam looks like he is scratching his head ok what can I do next or what should I do next. No sync between the title, the first act and what the viewer sees in the last act. Appears the movie was shor over 3 years and redone In. Between in patches. One can easily gather that from the protagonist physical build.

The lead role looks like a peace of wood except in some action scenes , worst screenplay and misfitting songs suddenly appear out of nowhere, i never expected this from the team , i was about to sleep suddenly music changes , action sequences become romance , very typical gangster plot , i never expected the catastrophic performance from star director , so called actor and music director . Why everyone is behind gangster stories again ? The love story in this film fades in between unwanted hooliganism. Kollywood needs a break even sandalwood movies are doing good nowadays. Need to learn from them.

This new version GVM works out well with the Magic of STR and ARR First and foremost ARR is the main piller behind this gangster drama his background score elevating the scenes to another level second piller is the STR acting wow his manarisam in every stage of the character his impeccable other than ARR and STR writing stands out each and every character has a scope and it catches screen space perfectly after all these positives there are some negatives too some romantic portions felt like not needed(including a song) If you don't mind these small lags film will entertain you for sure go enjoy this ride in theatres.

The move was three hours long but it was completely good. It feels so good to watch good movies lately, it's rare. Simbu's acting was a 11/10, story play, music was a 11/10, screenplay. It was definitely a great movie where everything fell into place. I loved the story line from the beginning till the end. Looks like there would be a part 2 and can't wait. Totally a worthy three hours I would say. A total new way of a narrating a gangster movie. Next, the short love portion in the move has great with GVM's details. Truly enjoyed that I want the truth well. To more movies with various genre by GVM, can't wait.

A Gautam Menon film without police uniform, bracelet , coffee shop. But the hero who works in that hotel has nothing to do with the dirty village.the richness is there throughout the film. The rich look actor, actress is there throughout the film.weak antagonists, unnecessary love scenes, songs, bad ending. It ended up being a average gangsters story.. In the story of a gangster, the thought should arise whether he is alive or not.but in this story, that thought is nowhere. You should focus on the character. The importance given to the small things in Simbu's character that was not giving to all the characters. Especially maligapoo songs & visuals is so good. Not bonding sister & mother's scenes. Fight scenes, Simbu and Rahman are the reason for don't come out of the theater.

It'd be hard to say that the movie was boring due to its sluggishness or GVM's usual style of romantic sequences but the fact that GVM has come out of his comfort zone of making soft tales is appreciable. The overall film looks like an obvious remake of Vijay's Nenjinilae which came more than 20 years ago and with a style/ mixture of Angaadi Theru + Pudupettai/Godfather with more screenplay touches of Vetrimaaran & Lokesh especially when the film tries to bring in the multiverse concept by introducing Naayagan's characters as the plot revolves in the same Mumbai region, I think that's where Tamil cinema is travelling towards which got ignited by Lokesh's LCU. The most interesting part is that the film doesn't look like the usual GVM movie and does have elements in the plot that keeps you engaged despite its slowness/sluggishness. And Simbu has done a decent part in this film after a very long time, that's appreciable too and Rahman's music does play a big role in it but I feel still it could've been bettered up. Overall, this is definitely a one-time watch but I hate the concept of making 2nd part just for the sake of it.
