This tale of redemption and retribution is a meandering mess
A film on a silent assassin coming to a new town and finding a home with them only to be uprooted by revenge-hungry antagonists is a trope done to death. We have seen it happen across films like The Equalizer and even KGF closer to home. Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan needed a stronger emotional anchor, and more smarts in its writing. The poeticism in the title and the chapter names feel unjustified because the film just meanders without a reason. We don�t root for anyone, and every single aspect of the film feels too staged and made up. Even then, the potential for a salvage operation is buried to the ground with a shocker of an epilogue.

A lacklustre Vijay Antony film that fails to engage
Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan is a lacklustre film that doesn�t have much going for it. The film moves at a good pace thanks to parallel tracks but sadly, there is no cohesive strong, story to talk about.(more)
