A comedy with countable laughs

Kathanayagan aspires to be an entertainer with quite some interesting ideas. But the final product is a watchable fare at best. (more)

This Vishnu Vishal starrer produces intermittent smiles rather than laughs

To enjoy Kathanayagan, there is just one word - don't take the movie seriously; in fact even the movie doesn't claim to take itself seriously as well. Kathanayagan is similar to a relationship, where small moments matter more than the larger ones. It might not be a laughter riot but sure does make you smile, at least.(more)

Kathanayagan Movie Review

What makes us stick until the end us is the spoofy tone, which keeps assuring us that the next comedy scene is just around the corner. Quirky characters like that of Anandraj (as a wealthy Sheikh) and Mottai Rajendran (he plays a singer and gets to sing some of the chartbusters, which is one of the gags that works) inject fun. Even here, there is a detour in the form of a mistake at a hospital, which leads to a Vijay Sethupathi cameo that sounds fun, but isn't so on screen. To the film's credit, things start to get funnier towards the end ensuring that we don't leave the theatre disappointed. But, should we, the audiences, be satisfied with this 'this will do' attitude?(more)

Where the fun doesn't shine

There's effort in making them quirky - 'Mottai' Rajendran playing a singer and a dreaded bald don who just won't talk � but in a film that just seems to want to pack everything, they mostly fall flat.(more)

Kathanayagan - Screenplay is the villain

Go for it to enjoy the climax sequence which is good enough compensation thanks to Soori, Anandaraj and Mottai Rajendran(more)
