A slow-mo dance that has its moments
Director starts off by promising a story with depth about friendship formed by mutual grief but forgets that and wanders into two love stories that both bring more misery. His message is that a person who has an unfortunate beginning should also have a similar end and worse take others with him which is depressing to say the least. The pace is lethargic throughout the first half.(more)

Good performances in a predictable film with an oft-told message
The tragedy here has little shock or surprise value, and you see it coming from a mile. Kaalakkoothu needed something cleverer, something more imaginative, but in his earnestness to be content with telling the caste-is-bad message, Nagarajan fails to adequately explore the dynamics of the relationships he creates with such involvement. I wish some of our filmmakers realised that it's okay just to stop with telling a good story - and that they can be told even without messages.(more)
