Sathru

First half is a drag. The last part of second half is worth watching although the screen play is predictable. Background score is mostly unnoticeable. More edits would have been good to keep the movie short and crisp. The stunts were pretty good. Story is a bit wanting. They could have spent a lot more effort on the characterization of antagonist as it wasn't a match to Kathir's cop character and the whole movie revolves around the cat and mouse between the two characters. If we ignore all these limitations it's a one time watchable movie.

Any film that respects its audience is considered as a good movie. The debutante director of Sathru has done a good job in that aspect. It's a simple cat and mouse police game, but with a number of well written (not well staged) interesting twists. The director did a very good job by making the movie almost without any logical loopholes. Though there was a scene of coincidence, the plot development manages to justify it. Again, its because the director respects the audience. The places where the movie struggles are dubbing,screenplay and the climax. I think the director wanted the movie to be under 2 hours, that's why the climax felt rushed up. I would've happily traded an extra 20 minutes for a more interesting climax , which I think the director is very capable of. With slightly more budget, better screenplay, and better climax, this movie could've been a first class thriller like Thani Oruvan. But nonetheless, all this can be neglected, given that it's the director's first movie.
