Kadhikan movie review: what critics say (1)

Critic Score appears after 5 rated reviews. 1 of 5 so far.

≈2.5est.
The Hindu · Saraswathy Nagarajan

However laudable the aim of the film, a work like this has to look plausible and that is where Kadhikan falters. The interactions between Mithun and Chandrasenan look a little wooden in some scenes.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know

In the 1980s, a renowned storyteller (a "Kadhikan") currently earns a living at the sawmill, hiding the performer in him due to his dire circumstances. A 17 year old in a juvenile home wishes to learn from him with the support of the Superintendent. His desire to learn the art form reignites the storyteller's faith in the same. Over a short span of time, the relationship between the Kadhikan and the boy becomes a bond unlike any other, unfolding new dimensions in both their lives.
