Warning - Solid political action drama ends with a sequel setup
lotekguy-121 November 2021
I never tire of the Bollywood mills that crank out cynical, yet ultimately inspiring action dramas in which one honest cop or civilian takes on overwhelming, entrenched cultures of corruption. Dirty police; crooked politicians; gangs with the power of warlords. A righteous hero who also happens to be capable of kicking large numbers of bad-guy butts - mostly in slow motion - all but guarantees a gratifying experience.

Vijay is a bit of a stiff, compared to the John Abrahams and Ajay Devgns who flourish in these roles. But he still delivers the goods on the integrity and courage scales.

Although the ending is mostly satisfying, there's more in store for these characters, in another feature slated for release three years hence. Having been spoiled by tons of Covid-enabled bingeing, I might have waited for both to be available before starting this one had I known I was in for course interruptus. You can now time your viewing of this worthy tale to suit the strength of your own need for closure.

clean movie
ravikumarchandran10 November 2021
Very well taken. Clean script. Very coherently taken. No big surprises is one downside. Another downside is vijay antony. It is high time that he takes serious acting lessons from people like Guru Somasundaram.

But Vijay Antony is very smart in picking the stories. He has proved his intelligence in this movie too!

If only he could act, the movie would have been perfect.

A pleasant surprise..

Is the movie overloaded with dramatic scenes?! Yes.. Does the movie contain over-the-top unbelievable non-realistic action sequences?! Yes.. Is the movie entertaining??! Hell, Yeah..

It is a blend of everything .. I just loved it..

Very good first half and half baked second half
m-ramanan27 October 2021
RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil

Good story and very good first half... the villains are powerful and hero is solid calm in the first half. When hero become active the villains become idiots and calm in the second half.... If they managed little bit IQ of villains, this would be very good masala entertainer with powerful climax... Because of very week second half this whole movie looked like half backed... Vijay Antony is total misfit for the second half. The dialog and his body language is not at all suit for the character... One time watchable for the good story and very good first half.

Kodiyil Oruvan, Starring Vijay Antony, Has A Promising Story That's Let Down By A Disastrous Screenplay
shefali-5924429 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Kodiyil Oruvan has a great story, and had it been made in the 80s it would have been called Oru Thayin Sabhatham (a film with that title was actually made back then by T Rajender). The story begins in a village where a bunch of politicians pick a woman to contest the panchayat elections. Their idea is to get her to do what they want after she's won, without any of her interference. Unfortunately for them, she refuses to be a puppet and they decide to kill her. And in a wonderful Baahubali-like touch, she's saved by her infant son.

Good career move for Vijay Antony
hariharan-8304517 October 2021
Good script and perfect acting from everyone. Due to some overacting fight scenes sometimes it feels cringed. Anyway after a long time feels like that I saw a good movie.

Many scenes are cringe. Script with so much of coincidences, bad editing, zero logic
mailsheik14 November 2021
Not much depth or presence for the heroine character. Most of the decisions my by Hero will be of no logic. Script needs a lot of rework. Movie neither convey something nor entertain us! Don't except anything close to pichaikaran.

As usual cinematic movie!!
tc-venu17 October 2021
Movie is engaging at some point. But very slow in moving.. Worst music and songs which let down the whole movie.. Heroine is unnecessary as usual.. One time watchable..

Bad.....
vibhus-1778018 November 2021
Good concept , but Very bad execution . In name of commercial movie they dumbed too many unwanted things and cringe . Eventhough there was no logic in story it was intresting , but screenplay was poor . Not even single cast performance was upto the mark . Vijay Antony really didn't suited for this role . Songs and music were average . Overall a below average movie . I recommend to avoid it , if you want to watch it , then watch at your own risk .

Only positive - Have given some election-related info.

Other than that, everything else is below average. Old story, sub-par screenplay, unwanted heroine character, over the top fight sequences, etc.

It's mentioned that there'll be the 2nd part, hope at least that's good.
