Rajarathinam deserves to be lauded for his spectacular camera and angles, including the right hues for each scene, setting the mood right in every frame. For a movie as convincing as this, without a story and only a theme, it takes the right man on editing for the right impact of the screenplay; Sudharshan is bang on his job. Taking the cake is the apt usage of so many leading stars, instead of scattering them over the same song. Speaking of songs, the film has only two complete songs on screen, thus making for a hinder-free smooth yet gripping screenplay. The underlying theme that seems to have been stressed is that every minute is uncertain and nobody knows what the future holds for us. Be it your instincts or your intuition that you follow, the future is a box wrapped tightly, that you wait in anticipation to open. Driving this point home in one of the most captivating screenplays of recent times, with hardly any concrete story to stick to and an unbelievable climax, Parthiepan has ensured that ‘Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam’ is one of a kind of an entertainer that glues you to the seat all the two and half hours, without any worry of the clock ticking.
