Quite Engaging But Lacks The Punch!!!

A template revenge drama that works for a while as it keeps things under wraps for quite sometime. But the flimsy flashback plays spoilsport.(more)

A Watchable revenge thriller

As mentioned earlier in the review, Caarthick could've opted for a better hero for this script. Ulkuthu demands a star rather than an actor.

Packs the punch despite a conventional story

While it�s becoming a fad for directors to romanticize dons and rowdies on the big screen, Caarthick has a different message for his audience. That living a better life is no substitute to the vanity and �gethu� that these characters seem to ooze out. The director has also let a sneak into how the h...(more)

Action elevates this routine revenge saga starring Dinesh, Dhilip Subbarayan

Ulkuthu does full justice to the title but doesn�t quite leave us in awe. Nevertheless, it isn't a bad film and director Caarthick Raju deserves praise for making it work despite how predictable it gets in the end.(more)

The routine don saga

At the end of the film, one cannot help but think that this film - if at all it deserves to be made in the first place - should have been done by a slightly bigger star, who is comfortable in a film where he is all powerful and invincible. After acting in movies such as Visaranai, one wishes that Di...(more)
