Pon Manickavel (2020) User Reviews

An artificial and highly predictable drama

[manirsoffl · 3/10 · 19 November 2021]

Wanted to watch it only for PrabhuDeva as he acted first time as a cop. All the characters were seem artificial, even PrabhuDeva too seems artificial at some points, the cop role doesnt fit him well in my pov. And last the story was highly predictabe and there are some twists and that too guessable easily. Do watch it at your very own risk.

waste of time

[rush8080 · 4/10 · 20 November 2021]

Whats the point in making this movie? Director Mugil you have prabudeva only in the titles, he is no where to be seen in the movie. What a waste.. screenplay is absolute rubbish. I have given it 4 stars because of the brave producers.

Prabudeva if you going to perform in tamil movies like this please stay away, expected more from you.

Your performance in this movie is very armature.

NOT A MOVIE TO WASTE YOUR TIME ON..

Messy Movie with Same old plot

[castingaloysius · 3/10 · 25 November 2021]

This film is totally messed up with plots here and there. Cop story could have been made more interesting but storyline seems to be very week.

This plot has been seen in many movies and that too in a different way. No doubt for the hard work but the hard work seems to be not put in the right direction.

Overall not a movie worth watching. Cheers!

I wonder 2021 these kind of movies

[pradeepmangalore · 1/10 · 20 November 2021]

Very old school cinema style investigation, murder> actor intro🤣🙏> investigation>fight> injury>hospital> centiments > very poor twist , please have a look to Malayalam industry they are going with trend, we need those kind of movies.

Prabudev kind of actor should not have acted in these kind of movies.

Poor poor poor!!!!!

[tmanipra · 1/10 · 19 November 2021]

Poor screenplay..Poor story..Poor twists and turns...lot of loop holes..I became DC in identifying loop holes in this movie..Better learn about Story making first before taking mainstream cinema...Waste of 1 hour..Thanks to OTT by providing Fast forward option.

Nivetha Pethu raj steals the show with one good song...

First standard kid would do a better job.

[sirishsekhar · 1/10 · 19 November 2021]

The production, direction and even the music is all worst.

And please hire a story writter. Many of the scenes had glitch for an instance where the police officer has phone in his hand and next shot he doesn't. I can list many but try to get atleast the shots right or edit it out.

Worst Movie

[arundigitalkarikalan · 1/10 · 20 November 2021]

The director didn't respect the audience since the start of the film. There are so many logical mistakes.

Tamil movie audience are evolved more than this film. The director should learn this atleast afterwards.

Worst movie

[kiwifruitdelhi · 1/10 · 20 November 2021]

Worst movie than sura and valimai.

Direction, editing,acting,cg work everything deserve less than zero marks.

Atleast if movie has prabhu deva dance it will be saviour of movie but this movie doesn't have dance also.

Average

[ahamedmn · 6/10 · 18 November 2021]

A showcase of Prabhu deva and his mass moments. Usual story line with average screenplay. Just watched for Prabhu deva.

Predictable story and screenplay that how to comes to the end.

an average flick

[saru2020 · 5/10 · 27 February 2022]

The plot was just usual like other 100 Tamil films in the same genre but the screenplay was written nicely which keeps us somewhat engaged as it reveals stuff sprinkled over the course of the film and the final reveal of the main character was good as well, although it was expected, still it stands to surprise us at least in a slighter way if you're watching the film w/o guessing anything but just going with what the film presents.

Seeing Prabhu deva in this role was anew but it was the usual characterisation played by many others as well and there were so specific touches of him as such that makes it interesting to watch & all, the surprising fact is that there were almost no dance sequences at all aka his skill not portrayed at all and totally wasted.

The heroine of the film does nothing and comes on screen as a showcase piece to show that the film has got a female in a good light as well.

Overall, the plot of the film being very old doesn't do justice but the decent screenplay makes it a one-time watch for sure.

Prabhudeva different one

[yuvan-69993 · 10/10 · 19 November 2021]

Nice movir without lag and confision perfect action comback for prabhudeva. Nivetha pethuraj and her scenes is done lovable and present. Sometimes makes us feel thr old story and some predictable scenes fails to give complete emotion prabhudeva and nivetha pethuraj had done their 100 % to the movie overall onetime rewatchable movie.

A passable flick...!

[PANDIAN120621 · 7/10 · 19 November 2021]

A predictable plot and an average screenplay makes this one a time watchable thriller...Could have trimmed a little in 2nd half.... Director have made a neat film compared to his previous outing.

Mokke padam

[nandhujujubi · 1/10 · 24 December 2021]

Simply waste.

They entirely rely on mass and sentiments. After the interval it felt tedious to follow the storyline. Very disappointing. I watched it until the end for closure and I wished I didn't. Don't waste your time.

Typical

[Indian_Analyst · 5/10 · 28 November 2021]

If you want a modernised version of 80's or 90's cop story, and if you watch without using logic, then the movie will be excellent for you. Otherwise, don't waste time.

Time wasting movie

[samiran-73153 · 1/10 · 12 December 2021]

Seriously not expect this type of movie from prabhu deva....not only story,acting of prabhu deva is very bad..overacting movie wth bad storyline...after 75% ,I stop to watch this movie..such a bad movie.

Production and Direction failed with a Good Story

[selvinmuthuraj · 7/10 · 3 December 2021]

They had some kind of good story but, they failed in direction keeping the suspense of the story timing where to reveal things like those things. It had to be worked out well.

Better than average

[ravikumarchandran · 6/10 · 31 December 2021]

A decent story. Poor camera work and poor music lets it down. Otherwise taken reasonably well. Slick. Not too much of waste scenes.

Also has some loose ends.

I wish it was more well thought of!

Well done job but with some loopholes

[nallaiah · 6/10 · 20 November 2021]

A decent cop story with familiar plot but unexpected journey Could have made the screenplay a little more thriller and interesting.may b I think if some other mass hero if would have acted the movie could have been added extra masala..yet prabhu deva had served it well I didn't expect such a good plot when I watched the trailer 2 yrs ago. But prabhu deva had did as much he can to save the role given to him .there are some holes but overall the movie had given what they thought to give.

The message and story plot revolves around a killer and the police begin to chase for them. There are some twists and turns and they are good too.

Heroine the same reason they had kept in the story as usual for no reason like all other normal cop story Music could have been further better Overall- an interesting cop story tried in a mature new way and entertained well.
