A family entertainer.

Kireedom, a remake of the Malayalam hit of the 80s, is a rollicking yarn, with committed performance from its principal actors Ajit, Trisha and Raj Kiran. Director AL Vijay must be lauded for his sincere and intelligent effort. Though, less experienced, the director has not been distracted from the fact that the performers are lead actors and has stayed focused and kept the plot moving at an engaging pace.(more)

Whose crown is it, anyway?

Vijay has neatly packaged a strong storyline with a sensibly balanced mix of sentiment and action. At no point does the film sag. Looking well-toned and incredibly youthful, Ajith makes a mark both with his appearance and expressions. And matching him equally in the two departments is an awesome Trisha.(more)

An engaging entertainer, go for it

Kireedam is quality cinema, one that is daringly different from the run-of-the mill superstar films that are dished out in the name of mass movies. High on adrenaline as well as human emotions, it turns out to be a well-packaged family entertainer. It has an intelligent screenplay, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant and gripping which leaves a lump in your throat. Bravo director Vijay and his team for making a gutsy, daringly different film within the commercial format(more)

Heady with realism

Kireedam is a sensible and sincere attempt at realistic entertainment. And after a long time, Ajith looks very cool and relaxed --- actually a throwback to his hey days --- and showcases his undoubted histrionic talent with spunk. Trisha shines and brings to fore her growing felicity with comedy. Kireedam's strength is its low-key elegance, and letting honesty of life take over. (more)
