Inspite of its lengthy run-time and some minor flaws, Kaththi will capture your attention. This may not create an impact like Thuppakki, but it will certainly win your heart. This is surely a Diwali treat for all Vijay fans.

Kaththi, which translates to sword in English, is largely blunt at the important edges. It reeks of overdose of melodrama and the need to preach.

Kaththi may not be in the same league as Thuppaki, but still is a well made entertainer with a powerful message.

Regardless of the excessive masala moments catering to Vijay's mass hero image, the film does convey an important social message.

...unlike Thuppakki, the previous Murugadoss-Vijay effort, Kaththi is overlong, over-the-top, over-familiar, and overtly preachy.

Kaththi worked like a tonic. Picks up slowly, but delivered a power packed performance. Recommended to you if you truly expect an action entertainer performance. It's actually a one time show.

What a con Kathiresan offers to the farmers and how he justifies the replacement he made for jeevanandham who is well built as a social activist is Kaththi in short.

Kaththi is the perfect follow-up to Thuppakki. Vijay has surpassed himself in Kaththi with the right amount of action, comedy, and emotions.

Kaththi is no 3 hour entertainer to go enjoy, have dinner and go to bed. The film deals with a deep social issue. The audience here, are more like the media in the film.

Murugadoss has made use of Vijays potential and delivered a powerful social drama with a few twists in both the halves.

To sum up, Kaththi is a grand production which rides on Vijay’s dual roles, the social interest angle and some impactful scenes which are part of the mix.Verdict: Murugadoss delivers a strong commercial movie with a nice social…

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 one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
