MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
santhosh-10290 The movie was not so good. There are many vulgar scenes in the movie. Songs were bad in the movie but the BGM was good in the movie. This is not the best of Vikram.
Prashast Singh Movie: Kanthaswamy (U)Rating: 3/5I called this film a regular Vikram fare because of two reasons - First being the fact that every Vikram film deals with social issues, and the second, it's entertaining like all his films. This film just adds to the greatness of Vikram sir, whose previous entertainers like Anniyan have won over the people.It's really amazing to see Vikram sir as a superhero. His getup as the superhero is really fantastic. His performance is the best. Prabhu's role is like a regular officer, but even he does well. Susi Ganeshan arrives in a small but fine role. The best part of the film which I felt was realistic approach. This happens even in case of fight scenes. If you see superhero style flying action, you have the justification in the following scene. The action scenes are really amazing and the film hardly has any disturbing scenes at all.However, the thing I didn't like was the vulgarity by the heroine Shriya, though she tries to look glamorous. The editing is not at all crisp as the film's runtime goes beyond three hours and that's pretty patience testing. The comedy track looked forced and it would have better been chopped off. The music was fine. It means the editing of the film stands been Kanthaswamy and a huge victory. But overall, it's not a disappointment, for you get to see a new kind of a superhero. On the whole, if you are a fan of Vikram as well as realistic social superhero films, watch Kanthaswamy. It's not very perfect but then who in this world is able to give a 100% always?
rohonnag There is no doubt that this is a bad movie, so why bother writing any more about it? well for on thing, the editing is the worst kind possible, the screen is flickering and flashing ALL the time, not just for special action scenes, but for every scene, the brightness is out of control and the flicker is introduced to make the movie seem interesting and fast...the editing is also choppy, the cuts are in milli seconds throughout and the comedy track just shoved in forcefully....vikram has a good look in this movie, but for decent movies in the same genre see, aparichit (vikram), nayak (anil kapoor), hindusthani (kamal hassan) (all the above are by shankar)
harshavardhan-in Stupidity at its best ....Complete injustice had been done to vikram in this movie.... This is not what you expect put of Vikrams movie..Forget Vikram this does not deserve to be called at least a decent action movie.Movie had nothing but loopholes. Why did not the Mexicans shoot him right when they got him? Were they waiting for him to kick their ass later ..After the Jeep hits them ...they have plenty of chance and time to shoot him..instead they start fighting fists with him...NOw thats exactly what I called DUMB....A Millionaire AP Business Magnet , spending all his time in his stupid bus,with chicks around all the time and his money comes out of no where ...oh yeah ..that makes sense ..In the climax , the hero walks into his BUS ..smashes everything and then .....Wallaah...he finds all his documents, black money in the BUS...Thats Brilliant..... What a Wonder place to hide money ..I never thought millionaires were so stupid ...Shreya was useless as usual in the movie ...but she did looked pretty..she did her part..And why the hell is the screen play so fast...I mean calm down a bit , let the people know whats going on .. I felt like whole movie was fast forwarded ...why SO Hurry ...Horrible Songs .. AWFUL... I am not supposed to speak bad words here...but let me tell you ..they S***********************KI wish I could give this movie (-10) rating ...I am sorry I cant..Even action sequences were pretty bad. They tried to make them look real by showing all the wires and stuff, good effort but not enough. They looked very very unnatural. I never saw vikram throwing one proper kick.All I see is that when he faces the bad guys , they suddenly speed everything up and later you see the bad guy dead...I am supposed to assume that in the mean time vikram would have kicked them bad....Oh yeah thats true action sequence ..thank you very muchAll in all.. an AWFUL movie
