Kuruvi Review
KURUVI as expected is an action based film which was much hyped by the fans of Vijay and Trisha before its release. But the long wait does not yield better results as the story is a little bit dragging in the second half. But Dharani still manages to bring in some interest in the film in the climax. This is a sure to watch film for the die hard fans of Vijay. But to the other movie buffers it adds on as just an average movie in this summer. But Vijay’s GILLI is mirrored a little bit in this movie and the action and the scenes in the film depict some scenes in GILLI.
Story
Vetrivel (Vijay) alias KURUVI is a happy young dude. He is a cool guy and takes on life as it comes. He never dreams about his future and so accepts it as it is. Vetrivel lives on the banks of Cooum, which is near to a metro rail service. The filming of the banks of Cooum is done very well. Vetrivel lives in an old house along with his mother and her two sisters. The further narration explains that the three women are wives of Vetrivel’s father. His father’s character is played as Singamthu (Manivannan) who works as a collie in a mine in Cuddapah district. One unfortunate day Singamuthu disappears mysteriously from the work place.
Suddenly all the hell breaks on Vetrivel as one of the credits who gave some loan to his father warns to occupy the house of Vetrivel does not clear the debt. So due to the financial crisis in the house Vetrivel is forced to board to Malaysia as a Kuruvi.
Vetrivel soon succeeds in recovering some money from the villain Kocha (Suman) who was in debt to the hero’s father. Kocha betrayed Vetrivel‘s father for recovering a diamond from the mine and so Vetrivel succeeds in fetching back the debt money from Kocha.
But Kuruvi in an attempt to recover the money steals a precious diamond from Kocha. Meanwhile, Kocha’s sister Devi (Trisha) falls in love with Kuruvi and then elopes with him to Chennai to avoid a marriage with one of her brother’s followers.
The rest of the film runs behind how Kuruvi goes to Cuddapah and happens to discover the camp of slaves run by the villains at the mine.
Kuruvi metamorphosed into an eagle and then destroys the entire evil kingdom of Kocha and his associates and finally settles with his beloved Devi.
Performances
Vijay has Kuruvi has done a superb job and his impeccable acting talent is a sure highlight in this movie. The action sequences and the dialogue delivery look very much apt to the Actor. His dancing talents are well exposed in this movie.
Trisha adds the glam quotient to the film. Her costumes and her sexy beauty is like a soothing breeze in the mid of action packed sequences.
Suman once again has made a mark in the kollywood with this movie. His villainy talent was well exposed in his previous movie Sivaji which featured Superstar as the hero. Now continuing the same kind of rating Suman has excelled as a true villain.
Music in this film is above average and melodious. Vidyasagar has lived up to the expectations.
The director Dharani must improve a lot in some departments. The story is unnecessarily dragged at the end in order to highlight the villain. But the climax of the movie is well carved.
On the whole this movie will surely run for 50 days mark. But more than that is only possible if Vijay’s fans take up an oath in making the film a blockbuster.

Hi,
I could not understand the review for this movie. What dharani able to manage in the climax? UTTER FLOP!!! We expect a good film by dharani (It is not possible always.) But when compare to his old films it doesnt seems to be dharani film. Somebody who entered into the cinema field a month wont shoot this kind film. I think nobody seen the preview before releasing the movie.
People dont waste your money. We are spending our money for nothing. How the actors/actress agreed for this kind of movie. Even andhra kodukku take much better movie. COPY COPY… COPY CAT.. But it wasnt done properly. There is not even -10% logic in this film. We shouldnt expect in vijay’s film. But atleast in dharani’s film we shd expect 50% logic.. Nowhere.. Below things are missing from the film
1. STORY
2. SCREENPLAY
3. GOOD ACTION (Not illogical actions)
4. GOOD COMEDY FROM VIVEK. (Vivek sir.. Please stop this kind of vulgar jokes… Always concentrate on good jokes.. These kind of jokes wont live long)
5. MUSIC
6. DIRECTION
7. + SO MANY THINGS
I beg all the people… DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY…
With Luv
Ram.

Utterwaste movie.Firrst vijay should concentrate on story selection.Continous action movies giving bore to audience.
second half of the movie was copied from telugu movie “satrapathi”.
Dharani did a worst job and really bad screenplay.I think no more saraku from Dharani.
Songs in this movie is another drawback and visually also not catching.
Overall this movie will not attract his fans for the second time,then how come normal audience.
Vijay Betterluck next time.
Dont depend the telugu cinema, Lot of taleneted tamil directors are there in the industry.Use them and give a good movie

Kumar Says:
I do not accept that Dharani managed to keep the audiences interests intact. He failed miserably in doing so. The only solace in the movie is Vijay (who as usual showed the exuberance in Action, Dance and Comedy). The flying scenes will go aptly in the summer season for the kids enjoying the holidays, but very difficult to digest for grownups.
To put it shortly, Kuruvi would have been a super dooper hit had it been released in 80’s. Kuruvi has taken tamil cinema 20 years back and is a sheer shame in front of Paruthi Veeran, Mozhi. Even a disgrace in front of Ghilli, Pokkiri which was a perfect entertainer.

This moview is really really bad.. and most of the comedy dialogues are double meaning and vulgur.. so as the songs… I think Dharani is capable of making much better movie but he for some reason (didnt like the producuer? ) he made it real bad

Dear Vijay,
Your movie was perfect. The first day your movie was released, the theathers here in Malaysia were overcrowded. I couldn’t get a single ticket. I’m a sincere fan of yours. Just this 1 comment, this movie was sort of violent so here they only let people 18+ to watch it. LOVE YOU, VIJAY!!!!!!!!!
