Kochadaiiyaan
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...the absorbing screenplay and the technology makes Kochadaiiyaan an interesting fare.
-
...succeeds not because of technology but because of the writing.
-
...the poor production values of this highly ambitious film override all the positives and you come out of the theatre wishing for a lot more.
-
...doesn't quite make the world class cut that it aspires for. But it does become one of the most engaging and detailed animated films to come out of our country.
-
...would've definitely looked magnificent in live action form than in the half baked animated format that only looks colourful, but not legendary.
-
Conventional fans might find it a bit hard to worship their hero in this CGI avatar, but Kochadaiiyaan is a big bold step in opening new frontiers to film making, a step that deserves to be supported.
-
...is truly history-making in a sense, because this is the first time that a huge star has allowed himself to be the hero in a full-length animated feature. Walking out, you may find yourself wondering: Did it have to be Rajinikanth?
-
...a sore disappointment primarily because of the poor quality of animation and VFX.
-
This one's strictly for fans.
-
For all the technological risks that Soundarya has taken, the characters have come across as stiff.
-
At best Kochaidaiiyaan is an average entertainer.
-
Has Soundarya pulled it off? Not quite.
-
Rajinikanth does not come to life and the interweaving narrative is difficult to peg, leaving one in limbo.
-
...the outcome is so spectacularly dull that it overwhelms the most technologically advanced cinematography witnessed in Indian cinema.
-
...is not that art you will remember Rajini for.
-
...even Rajinikanth's loyal fans will crave for the real thing.
-
You can’t assume that a film will be effective merely because it crosses a new frontier in technology and stars an acting legend. That, unfortunately, is what debutant director Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin has done...
-
...a fundamentally flawed dud, one without anything to applaud besides grand (if self-glorifying) ambition. And little is as heartbreaking to witness as utterly failed ambition.
-
...is like watching an amateur Indian kiddie version of Grand Theft Auto, except that you can't run over people or even switch it off.
