Misfired . Movie tried something but it was completely Misfired . Story follows the love triangle between Rambo , Kanmani and Khatija . This love triangle movie was bit different from other . First half was too slow and boring , it took more time to build the story . Second half was not boring , instead it was cringe . Comedy worked out in few places . Main positive of the movie was Ani's music , literally backbone of the movie . Vijay Sethupathi , Nayanthara and Samantha's performance was good . Technically , cinematography was good . Lip syncing was terrible , literally spoiled some moments . 2hrs 39mins was too long . Overall a average rom-com . "May be" family audience enjoy it .

( ~ bro movie epadi ?

Me : May be Samantha and Nayan kaagha pakalaam .

May be Vijay Sethupathi performance kaagha pakalaam .

May be Ani music kaagha pakalam .

May be ungaluku pidikum .

May be ungaluku pidikathu . May be neegha pakalaam .

May be neegha pakama irukalaam . )

When you make movies for fun. OTT material
personalacc-8724728 April 2022
An average entertainer, illogical!

What a joke, Anirudh saves another film again with his music. Watch this only if you want to waste your time.

Wait for OTT, watch it online.

Simpley making hype . Not at all worthy
gopaliyyavu1 May 2022
Just 1 time watchable With sleeping mode at second half . Don't get too excited for two heroins and waste your money . Think befiore twice . But the social media's simply creating hype for this waste movie to collect the profit.

Just wait for HD to come . This is worth to watch in mobile for one time . That's it.

Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Plastic is a film that exemplifies two things:

Both Nayanthara and Samantha are highly overrated.

Vijay Sethupathi effortlessly excels in any challenging scene.

While the basic idea of the film may be acceptable, the story developed around it is nothing short of rubbish. The characters feel forced into the narrative, lacking authenticity.

The screenplay is abysmal, with an unbearably dull and silly first half. Every scene fails to entertain and lacks humor.

Vijay Sethupathi's performance is monotonous for the most part, only shining in a few scenes.

Nayanthara's appearance resembles a patient with all the fat squeezed out and a face filled with botox, yet her performance is somewhat passable.

Sam's artificial overacting, coupled with her self-dubbing, becomes unbearable. She exudes a plastic demeanour throughout the film.

On a positive note, the cinematography is good, and the production values are rich. The music is acceptable, but nothing extraordinary.

If you are content with mediocre and silly films, it would be advisable to wait and watch it on an OTT platform. Otherwise, it is best to skip this film entirely.

KRK
TharsheyN9 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
KRK is both really good and utterly disappointing. The storyline is kinda hard to understand at first and you won't really be sure of what is happening until things are cleared up later in the movie. That being said I actuslly really enjoyed the storyline and it's twists and turns throughout the movie.

I even ended up really liking Rambo x Kanmani x Khatija. Which for me is super unusual as I always like a couple to be monogamous in love. However in this rare occasion I ended up shipping both Kanmani and Khatija with Rambo. I would hace given the movie a 8 or maybe even 9 if **SPOILER ALERT** they ended up with him at the end of the movie or went through with the double wedding they both agreed to at first with him. However I found the ending to be appalling and an absolute letdown, from Rambo having 2 beautiful, smart, kind and amazing girls loving him and ready to marry him to losing them both is just ridiculous in my opinion. To make things worse they had a cameo ending scene with Katrina Kaif as his new love-interest/possible fiancé. It felt extremely forced and included for comedy only. So that lost points with me. However besides the disappointing ending of not getting Rambo marrying either of his 2 loves the rest of the film was really enjoyable. It was also really funny and had me laughing along through many of the scenes which reinforces how dumb the ending was for that bit of comedy they thought they were adding.

Anyway enough ranting on the bad ending and how I was actually fine for once with Rambo marrying both Kanmani and Khatija. The acting was really great, both Nayanthara and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are stunning actresses, they're both extremely talented and both deliver amazing performances in KRK.

Nayanthara aka Kanmani looks amazing while playing the more cultural/traditional girl of the two and does an amazing job. Her character is unique and a nice contrast to Khati's. Samantha Ruth Prabhu plays Khatija/Khati, the more modern girl of the 2. She is absolutely beautiful and nails the sensual side to her character, we get to see her both in more traditional clothing and in more modern dresses etc. Both Khatija and Kanmani contrast well with one a other, they both offer something unique and enticing to our poor Rambo. Speaking of Rambo, Vijay Sethupathi does a really great job as Rambo, though he is an idiot (Rambo that is, not Vijay) to find true love with 2 beautiful woman and lose them both in the end.

The music was also pretty good, especially the song Two Two Two. Samantha and Nayanthara both look sexy in their outfits, once again each rocking a slightly different style. One more traditional and one more western. Both wearing sexy outfits and looking drop dead gorgeous.

All in all, KRK is a really enjoyable movie with a good dose of comedy (though you'll be laughing at the sheer craziness sometimes), some action here and there and more importantly a lovely romantic arc. At this point I'd leave it with that 8/10 or 9/10 rating, unfortunately it does have that ending we have to remember, which drops that rating to a 7/10.

Every time I see the ending (I mean seriously!? Both of them have moved on and have found other people now, and this idiot Rambo has missed out on 2 perfect woman. He should just have picked 1 rather then lose both like god damn it lol. Who to pick idk lol, I'd probably have gone with Khatija or maybe Kanmani I really don't know. Both are so amazing!) I really want to give the movie a 5/10 or 6/10 instead but the 2 actresses who put in so much time and effort along with Vijay don't deserve that, so I leave the film with a mostly well deserved 7/10.

P. S. Just pick Khati and marry her lol. Both girls are virtually equal in my eyes however I'd pick Khatija over Kanmani as I find Samantha to be slightly more attractive then Nayanthara. Plus now that Kanmani's house is secure she doesn't need him as much.

Think twice before watching at theatre!!
iamThesie_0428 April 2022
Expected a lot given the hype but one word, disappointed! Wat was meant to be a rom-com clearly didnt work out in many areas. Should have considered OTT release. Acting wise good & Anirudh was the saving grace. Director Vighnesh Shivan kindly consider alternative profession please.

Not worth to have this in theatres
dineshcserbk28 April 2022
Better to have this in OTT.

Acting is good from three of them.

Vignesh Shivan story is not good as expected.

I don't like this kind of movie from him.

CONVINCINGLY A FEEL GOOD FILM...!
PANDIAN12062122 May 2022
A breathe of fresh air after a series of flop movies for kollywood...not so refreshingly new but a neat screenplay makes it worth a watch,A huge break through for VJ after losing streak...All three lead characters performance was top notch and does not lag in between director was in a terrible situation to give a success and does at ease finally...overall "ALL MINUSES BECOME PLUS ON SOMEDAY" for KVRK team.

Not even a minimum guarantee film
samastha-5027929 April 2022
Not worth your time and money. The only element we expected from this movie was comedy (because we knew that a sense of romance does'nt exist in the kollywood industry). However, since there were justifications for romance in the first half, I had to give the film two stars. The movie dragged for so long that we didn't even wait until the end credits - we rushed back home nearing the climax. The second half was so predictable and boring. The movie had litterally nothing except an aged nayanthara, glamorous sam, and a stout vijay sethupathy. The village sequences were cringe-worthy and illogical. Rest is up to you.

Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal Movie Review: A Hotchpotch of Escapist Male Fantasies
shefali-5924429 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Just at the beginning of the third act, after the central conflict is resolved and Rambo (Vijay Sethupathi) has his epiphany, he goes to a tea shop and orders tea with salt - to give him some shame, apparently. He then walks over to an old man and asks him to take off his slippers. "Ammava vittuttu poviyanu kelunga," (ask me if I'll ever leave my mom again) he says. The old man obliges. "Adinga enna," (slap me) he urges. Phatak, phatak, phatak, Rambo comes to his senses. This is perhaps Vignesh Shivan's message to critics who come with expectations.

To be clear, dear reader, I did not expect anything unreasonable. Despite the trailers' warnings, I went expecting only a Vignesh Shivan-esque comedy - an irreverent, lighthanded, college boy-level take on semi-serious issues. For Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal, even that is too much. Because it is just an escapist male fantasy stretched on for too long.

KRK is such a Jolly and Cringe ride with VJS, Nayan & Sam
Don_Bradman_IMDB28 April 2022
Note: This movie is not that much bad, Lot of negative reviews, most of them from Vijay fans since Vignesh Shivan is going to direct with Ajith in the next movie.. Its one time watchable not too bad. Let me start with negative first.

Negative: Length of the movie is quite far. Felt lagging in some places. When VJS took a car trip of Nayanthara around her flat, that scene was cringe overloaded. Also such an disappointed climax.

Postive: Its such a new concept in Tamil industry. Fantastic love comedy movie. Jolly ride with superb performances from the lead team Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara & Samantha the powerful package. VJS Performance is ultimate, the energy and charisma that made him a beloved star. Great comback for VJS and well balanced writing from Vignesh Shivan. Comedy came well with with redin kingsley. Anirudh elevates the momentum of the scenes & romantic theme next Level, he incredibly earwormy with his songs. Its one time watchable movie.

Not worth the hype!
madcinephile02728 April 2022
This movie is truly an exaggeration. I still don't know why this movie was filmed.. or at least could have been in OTT. There were very few comedy scenes.. that too not that funny. Just HAHA funny. I really love Nayanthara, but this movie ain't worth it for her too! Too disappointed. Could have stayed home.. but can't forget how CRINGY the movie was..!!

different plot with an averse to the current societal setup
saru20201 May 2022
The concept is a weird one that doesn't coincide with the current society setup and hence may be, this film has garnered so much attention.

Although the concept is weird and people would automatically think that there'd be a vulgar scene for sure that's the surprise that the film disappoints you with no such scenes at all and the film portrays this concept in a very good light although, in the end, it feels more like friends living together and not as couples, which makes this film very decent with not even a single bad double meaning dialogue as well.

The main actors did well to the extent of what the script demanded but the problem of the film lies in the director's writing where the film gives so many usual scenes & comedies that have become somewhat boring nowadays since we've seen such comedy sequences already in many films but still some of the sequences were watchable and there were some emotional sequences in the film but the scenes were made in such a way that even before the audiences get to feel it, another mockery kinda comedy sequences takes over and spoils it up, it looks like the director tried to mix things up but didn't come in real as they had wished.

But, overall it was a good laughable watch, the first half was too good, 2nd the half was spoiled to some extent, otherwise, it would've been a nice one, a watchable one in your boring/free time.

Stuck badly in the theater.
nikhilrajdcsmat29 April 2022
On this summer the only good thing happened while watching this movie is you can site in side a cool room and enjoy the AC. If you want to watch a entertainment movie, better opt for another movie. Badly stuck in theatre. Never expect this from Vignesh.

Wish the film was shorter
moneymaran2 June 2022
First half was really good. But the second half felt too long. If this was a two hour movie with unnecessary scenes removed then it would have been a great entertainer.

Complete garbage
If you are brought up like this: 1. One love is true love 2. Treat girls with respect 3. Don't cheat anyone 4. Don't cheat in the name of love 5. Don't be a playboy

Then, this movie is not for you.

A guy cheating 2 girls at the same time. When found out, he makes a drama, creates sympathy, gives justification for his cheating. HE IS CALLED AS A HERO. And those who follows the above said points are called fools, sambhar, boomer, sappa.

Making this movie is damn easy. Vignesh did it like a cake walk. 1 same situation, same dialogues, same scenes but delivered in 2 ways with 2 different girls.

So many justifications given for hero dating 2 girls at a time. But nothing actually justifies his act. Overall he is a fraud. Nothing can justify a fraudster.

I don't know how so many people celebrate this movie, calls it a blockbuster, fav hero, fav heroine, best romantic movie (trust me, people do), breezy movie. It's just a 2.30 hours garbage.

A nice entertainer with loads of romance and comedy
ags-8513529 April 2022
The movie is really good. Kudos to the team of Vignesh Shivan for bringing Samantha, Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupati in this romantic comedy film. Samantha as Khatija Begum was fantastic along with Vijay Sethupati as Rambo and Nayanthara as Kanmani.

The screenplay is awesome and even if you don't understand the language, the subtitles makes it easy for you to laugh on certain comedy scenes. A different concept but altogether a movie full of entertainment.

why people did not like this?
pugazholi3 December 2023
Vignesh Sivan is not a yet another director. Just from the movies, a fun loving but a very realistic. When i just thought this is some stupid fun only movie and making use of his wife/girl friend to make money, but with the wonderful climax he made me think he is different.

Vijay Sethupathi with 2 girls pair, only made me think he is lucky 😊 but when i realized husband/girl friend directing and picking him means something.

2 different story for Nayan and Samantha and a background story for vijay connecting in a very funny way with small emotions all over and finishing the story with a punch and reality. Nice.

Why imdb folks did not like this movie much? May be they expected too much? 😂😂😂

Pathetic
enterhari22 May 2022
The worst VJS flim, to be Frank the worst flim I've ever seen.

The cringe content is overloaded. Vignesh Shivan is a kind of director who came into flim industry by luck, and this movie is a prime example of that.
