Kanithan movie review: what critics say (7)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 7 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the script and the action.
Kanithan tries hard to satisfy multiple agendas that telling an interesting story becomes secondary to everything else.
Read the full reviewTN Santhosh's Kanithan resembles his mentor AR Murugadoss's Thuppakki in a lot of ways. The heroes and the villains of both the movies keep playing mind-games. They don't confront each other till the climax.

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.
