Bronze medal!
Debutant Vishnu has done his part satisfactorily. Saranya Mohan reveals that she is an experienced star after all compared to her fellow artists. Climax is deliberately shot differently. All in all, a different attempt but they should have taken adequate care to narrate it more interestingly. Go for it, for its second half. (more)

Go for it !
Debutant director Susindhran's Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu is refreshingly fresh and innovative. The film has a tight script but does not break new ground, nor does it tell a dramatically different story. But what it does have is a very ‘clean’ screenplay with all the typical elements of a good sports film in place. On the whole, this film will surely keep you glued to your seat. (more)

Surely worth a watch!
Skillful narration always sells. And the latest team to prove it is Imagine Creations’ Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu (U), a sure-shot winner of a story. It’s surprising to believe that Vennila … is Susindran’s debut attempt. So deftly he has worked on the three vital areas of story, screenplay and direction. Down to earth characters and true to life incidents are other highlights. (more)

Suchindran dishes out a 'full sappadu' if not a gourmet meal. The movie has a few minor irritants, such as the slow beginning. But Bhaskar Sathi's pithy dialogues, Lakshman's camera and the background score by percussionist Selvaganesh make you come away wanting more.(more)

Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu is a winner
Director Susindran's screenplay is the real hero here: with the right (if sometimes cliched) situations, cast of characters. The first half could have done with some editing. Despite the rather deux ex machina situations that crop up now and then, their individual characters make an indelible mark. With its superb ensemble cast and script, Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu scores the match-point.(more)

Candid, charismatic and convincing
Debutant director Susindhran has consciously avoided all clichéd commercial elements, yet managed to render an engrossing entertainer. But, the movie has abundant human emotions in it. It’s a refreshing and a different film. Susindhran's engrossing screenplay coupled with pacy narration works out all the wonders. A dignified portrayal by Kishore wins the heart of the film-buffs at the first go. (more)
