Kaithi review: A brilliant thriller set to stand the test of time

Deccan Chronicle  

Direction: Lokesh Kanagaraj Cast: Karthi, Narain, Dheena, George Mariam, Arjun Das Director Lokesh Kanagaraj of Maanagaram fame has proved that he is no flash in the pan with his second outing Kaithi, a gritty mass action thriller. Like Lokesh's earlier film, here also he uses the hyperlink genre to take forward the story where several incidents happening at different places converge at one point. Kudos to Lokesh for not falling into above said commercial trappings although there was enough scope to incorporate in the narrative, especially when Dilli tells Kamatchi his backstory. Kaithi with its solid story combined with outstanding performances and flawless making is set to stand the test of time.
