The Story Limps Through Its Runtime!
Poikkal Kuthirai seems like a rushed script that came to the shooting floor even before it reached its fine-tuned version on the writing desk.(more)

Prabhudheva excels in this wannabe brainy thriller
Poikkal Kuthirai is its Kaithi-like angle. Like Dilli, Kathiravan doesn't get a proper backstory either. He operates his way through the trail like a pro and has access to state-of-the-art gadgets like bugs. He hides from an IPS officer. His prisoner father has the aura of an ageing gangster. There are a lot of unanswered questions, and the film definitely has the potential for a sequel/prequel. It might even be a far superior piece of work if the makers opt for better writing choices and the rough edges in the making are polished better.(more)
