Bloodbath that only leaves you numb!

You expect Devarattam to be predictable and replete with cliches. But what hurts it is the absence of an emotional connect. The message of Devarattam is that women are precious and men should protect them. Wondering who will protect us from the regressive ideas that these films propagate. (more)

In the name of formula, Muthaiya keeps giving us clich�s in Devarattam.

Sadly, both these gambles don't pay off because the writing is predictable and pedestrian.

In the end, Devarattam seems like just another film which shows Madurai as a traditional land that is also a blood-soaked, lawless place where cops and gangsters are hand in g...(more)

a violent film where the violence serves no purpose

Devarattam is yet another Tamil film that uses rape/sexual assault as a ploy to take the story forward. The film comes at a time when the disturbing Pollachi incident is still fresh in our minds.

This Muthiah-Gautham Karthik Collaboration Is A Total Underwhelmer

This kind of action-drama cannot. You wish they had worked on the emotions, instead. And the casting. And the cinematography. And the sound design. And the editing. And the production design. And the stunts. And the songs. And the choreography. And the�(more)
