Engaging Final Hour Saves This Partially Entertaining Flick!
Haywire till the halfway mark as the focus was predominantly on action. Inducing comedies in between the serious crimes is the major spoilsport. Fortunately towards the end, Sundar.C grips his comedy forte through Vadivelu and some fun situations.(more)

Sundar C & Vadivelu's heist comedy is not so funny and not too dull
his is when we begin to feel how the film would have benefitted a lot from a tighter, more engaging set-up, less violence and seriousness of tone, and more elements involving the heist. At least in films like Aambala and Madha Gaja Raja, Sundar C was using the mass movie elements with a wink, but here, it's all played with a straight face, with full seriousness. Coming to the heist itself, it isn�t as wacky as what we got in the underrated and often overlooked 144, another semi-rural heist comedy, but there are enough elements � Vadivelu�s numerous looks, the mini missions before the final heist, the clever use of Madha Gaja Raja � to keep us entertained, and at least make us not leave the theatre with regret.(more)

Even Vadivelu's humour can't save Sundar C's outdated film
�Gangers� is a film that tries to pack everything into its runtime: comedy, action, sentiment, even some commentary. But it plays like a film stuck in a different era. While Sundar C claims he makes films for the audience, which might well be true, �Gangers� would definitely have benefited from better setups, fresher comedy, and more thoughtful presentation.(more)

An in-form Vadivelu and Sundar C keep this light-hearted, simplistic yet trite film afloat
, Gangers is almost like Sundar C�s homage to his own brand of films, and a reminder why Vadivelu, the comedian, still has it in him to make scores of people laugh at the drop of a hat. Of course, Vadivelu had a terrific turn as the protagonist of Mari Selvaraj�s Maamannan. But this is the Vadivelu that even Vadivelu likes to be. He gets the dance right, the expressions right, the crassness right, the dialogue delivery right, and even the slapstick right. There are more than a few kinks that need to be straightened out, but full points to Sundar C for giving Tamil cinema its Vadivelu back, and how!(more)
