Kaathal – The Core is a watershed moment in Malayalam cinema, much like The Great Indian Kitchen. Both Baby and Mammootty have shattered a glass ceiling, the sound of which, one hopes, will reverberate loudly in the society and for long.

Kannur Squad has sequences – the fight scenes, in particular – which raise the tempo of the film every now and then. The presence of a veteran like Mammootty at the forefront takes the film a notch higher, and while the script may seem clichéd at times, it succeeds in holding the viewer's attention.

Soori is finally freed from the shackles of the comedian stereotype. He ditches his slapstick humour and mannerisms to slip into the character of Kumaresan – both physically and otherwise - and shines like never before. Viduthalai is a multi-layered film, held together by a gripping narrative.
