I found a giggling amount of comedy in ‘‪Bengal Tiger’. Focus on the funny bits. It won’t matter if you doze off for the rest of the film though.

When things that are commendable are few and far between, it’s not an easy watch. For all the “Aaluma Doluma” about ‘Vedalam’, the impact is just about a fingerprint. There isn’t enough strength in it to pack a punch.

The screen image of the lead actor isn’t really the problem in ‘Kaaki Sattai’ but with the screenplay itself. Having bitten into Siva’s performance as Mathimaaran, it would be unfair to say Siva isn’t capable of rising amid insensibility. He has ten other Mathimaarans in him, only if R. S. Durai Senthilkumar had pulled the correct rabbit out of the hat, ‘Kaaki Sattai’ would have been the film Siva could have told in his later years that this changed his stamp as an actor.
