M Suganth The Times of India If there is a fault, it is that the film feels overlong for its genre, with a couple of action blocks getting over-indulgent. But when it is action that we have signed up for, we cannot complain much about that. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Karthik Kumar Hindustan Times This Karthi starrer is an action film with a soul and a purpose. While it still caters to the masses, it is nothing like a crowd-pleasing commercial film. Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Srivatsan S The Hindu Lo and behold, this Karthi-Lokesh Kanagaraj joyride is by far the best action thriller in Tamil cinema since Theeran Adhigaram Ondru. Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Baradwaj Rangan Film Companion There's a fantastic "mass" scene, set around a swimming pool, where the protagonist stuffs himself with biriyani — it's a stunning few minutes of a purely physical performance. Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Sreedhar Pillai Firstpost Kaithi is Kamal Haasan’s Virumaandi meets Bruce Willis’s Die Hard. In fact, Lokesh has acknowledged both the films in the credits. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Mythily Ramachandran Gulf News (UAE) With its engrossing screenplay, and hinged around a little girl, 'Kaithi' leaves you teary eyed.

A fun movie with strong willed characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Kaithi - 10/10. Tamil cinema loves the action genre. Outside of the romance genre, action is probably the second most delved upon subject in tamil cinema. In terms of an action film, Kaithi is an incredible tour de force. The main thing to do when watching this film is to watch it with a mindset of watching an action drama. If you watch it with that mindset, you will totally love Kaithi. We've seen films where a cop and criminal must tag team to accomplish something (Vikram Vedha for instance) and we've seen films where the film takes place during one night (Saroja). But with this film both those things are used to push the simple but effective story forward. Karthi is an interesting actor because he seems to be one of the few who can pull off playing a larger than life hero, or, play a simple raw character. Kaithi offers him the best of both worlds, allowing him to play a character close to the ones he played in Paruthiveeran and Aayirathil Oruvan, but at the same time making that character into an action force. Its also nice to see actors like Narain and Ramana back in films, they both provide good work for their respective characters. Dheena provides well timed comedic relief and George Maryan surprises with a solid supporting role. Sam CS proves once again he is one of the premier young music directors. Cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan is crazy good! Shot at night, everything visually pops from the screen. And finally, Lokesh Kanagaraj. This man deserves a huge amount of credit for creating such a intense film. From the first scene till the end, the movie doesn't lose any pace or any excitement. Overall, Kaithi is an amazing serious film with some over the top commercial elements. If I were to pick between Bigil or this film for which was the better Deepavali release, hands down, it's Kaithi. Watch it now! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
