Some Interesting Character Conflicts But That's About It!
Sri Ganesh probably wanted to make an emotional action film. The emotions do work at least to an extent but the action never gives you the adrenaline rush that it ought to have. Considering the fact that this is a film made by someone who made 8 Thottakkal, Kuruthi Aattam is definitely a bit disappointing, to put it mildly. Otherwise, it is a generic film that remains watchable but one that becomes tiring by the end.(more)

A solid actioner with some powerful moments
Kuruthi Aattam is a decent action entertainer which could have done really well with better writing in the second half.(more)

Atharvaa's revenge saga has too much action and too little depth
While there's not much to dig into Yuvan Shankar Raja�s music, some of the key dialogues are well written, especially the one about mistakes and friendships. The action choreography and sequences deserve special praise, but the numerous slow-motion shots could have been avoided.(more)

Melodrama and shoddy editing let down this passable action-drama
Two things work majorly in Kuruthi Aattam. One is the brilliantly-written character of Arivu, backed by a commendable performance by Prakash Raghavan. He instantly makes you hate the character, and that makes us look forward to him getting his due. Secondly, the bromance between Sakthivel and Muthu (Kanna Ravi) is heartwarming. It felt organic unlike the other emotional aspects of the film. Muthu is the only character that we end up caring for.(more)

TARRING ATHARVAA AND PRIYA BHAVANI SHANKAR, IS A SERIES OF ACTION SET PIECES WITH NO EMOTIONAL GLUE TO BIND THEM TOGETHER
The most emotional shot is that of a door opening and revealing a small-sized hall. It's the heroine's home. To her left is a framed photo of her mother. To her right, we see her father, who walks with a limp. In an instant (and without any dialogue) we get an insight into this woman's world. It's a picture that speaks a thousand words. Otherwise, we are left with a shell of a film that speaks with a thousand punches. (more)
