Gethu Movie Review:
Director Thirukumaran’s #Gethu is a so-so thriller that doesn’t fulfill its lofty ambitions. The film knocks all eyes out with aesthetically appealing live visuals but the writing is comparatively underfed.
The unexciting script hits the skids and the sure-fire way of holding the attention of viewers backfires what could have been a competent thriller. Amy Jackson almost vanishes in the second half, like the major female lead characters in Tamil cinema, but turns up swiftly out of nowhere for songs and to lend her jewelry when the hero is in

The unexciting script hits the skids and the sure-fire way of holding the attention of viewers backfires what could have been a competent thriller. Amy Jackson almost vanishes in the second half, like the major female lead characters in Tamil cinema, but turns up swiftly out of nowhere for songs and to lend her jewelry when the hero is in acute need for money. Sukumar’s strong sense of visual pattern and Harris Jayaraj’s occasionally good background score don’t succeed in bundling up an engaging thriller.
Thirukumaran, the director of Siva Karthikeyan’s Maan Karate is very focused in the technical side of his films in addition to the music department and comedy. The
pace of the film is what is hitting on the wrong side, apart from the ‘could have been better’ script.
Technically sound, visually pleasing and as always for Udhayanidhi Stalin projects, Harris Jayaraj holds the key.He holds the key, door, plate, ring, wall, everything
and makes the movie look bigger than the actual. His background score make many scenes work.
Verdict : Watchable Thriller
Rating : 2.5 / 5
