A hollow hype!

Kanthaswamy is largely overindulgent. After taking up a superhero subject, Susi's uncertainty in keeping that one on track makes the movie stoop to lower levels. The movie is unreasonably stretched, for no rhyme or reason. The choppy editing also makes one feel that any scene could be placed anywher...(more)

Style & substance.

The duo of Vikram and Susi Ganeshan have come out with a project (though far from logic) that is laced with all commercial ingredients at right mix. It's an action extravaganza with technical finesse. The computer graphics and the breathtaking stunt sequences are captured well by cinematographer Eka...(more)

Kudos to the entire cast and crew of Kanthaswamy.

Vikram entertains the audiences with his mind-blowing performance. Shriya Saran is at her best as far as looks are concerned. Susi Ganesan and his team have taken care to thrill audiences in each frame. Padmashri Thotta Tharani's art direction, along with the cinematography, gives an international l...(more)
