Only In It's Title

Thirukumaran's choice of scripts is interesting. His debut Maan Karate had a fantasy element in it. Now in Gethu he wants to tell a action thriller involving an International sniper. Problem is that the thrill factor hardly translates to the screen. All the energy seems to have been spent on the ambience.(more)

A beautifully shot thriller that isn't particularly thrilling

The whole movie bears the flavour of a short-story adaptation, and at a little over two hours, there isn't too much duration in which to flood the story with masala elements and thoroughly destroy it, although, to its discredit, Gethu certainly does try.(more)

Exemplary visuals, but less than moderately engaging

Gethu could have worked better, if the writing was stronger. The director's lofty ambitions in narrating a thriller are palpable, but it falls short of want of more interesting elements.(more)

On the whole there is more style than substance to 'Gethu' but is definitely watchable.

Thirukumaran who has written and directed �Gethu� has chosen a rather slow pace to the screenplay but puts all the red herrings in the right places and the film flows through to the guessable climax. Special appreciation is due for quickly doing away with the subplots like the love story between Amy and getting back to the main theme.(more)
