Critics Review
2.75
'7 Naatkal' ends up as a fairly engaging as a murder mystery thriller, thanks to the suspense element retained till the and twists that work out well.
Lot of time taken for character establishment with the cliched voice over of the director could have been avoided. The idea of a speaking dog in order to infuse comedy, hardly serves its purpose. However the comic antics of M.S.Bhasker and Chinni Jayant as naive cops evokes some laughter here and there. The length of the film is another issue which could have been avoided by minimizing the commercial ingredients. There are certain logical loopholes too.(more)

7 Naatkal Movie Review
Sakthi is comfortable in a happy-go-lucky character, while Nikesha does her part well. Ganesh Venkatram and Rajeev Pillai manage to engage with their characterisations. Prabhu and Nasser are apt in their roles. MS Bhaskar, who impresses with his witty antics, gives a touching performance towards the end, in perhaps what could be called as one of the few impressive scenes in the film. The mediocre music and extended narration, make the flick a little tiring in the second half, which otherwise could have been an impressive attempt.(more)
