Review:
Alas! It’s a great disappointment for not just Vijay fans, but for audiences who expected a lot from Director Dharani. Director who earlier rocked with blockbuster flicks like Dhill, Dhool and Ghilli has completely presented us with a film that has nothing attractive. All throughout the film, you have the lots of absurdities that will get you annoyed. Well, we are sure even the surest fans of Vijay would been greatly discomfited. Vijay jumping from the height of 150ft bridge and getting hold of a running train at high speed.
The film opens with tycoon Suman and Ashish Vidhyarthi as local MLA at a village in Andhra Pradesh troubling a big group of lay people as their slaves for digging diamonds from the ground illegally. Manivannan is one among them and unable to bear the suffering, he bursts out in anger assuring the baddies that his son will surely get it retaliated.
The scene immediately switches over to 20 minutes of visual kind of advertisement for Car racing, where we have the hero Vetrivel (Vijay) winning it and then followed by a title song where he shakes his leg with Malavika. But sooner, trouble falls on his way when a stranger along with his group asks him and his family to vacate the house.
Situations force him to fleet for Malaysia along with his friend played Vivek as a carrier and over there he has to face unexpected sequences that will let the hidden dark mysteries revealed.
Getting on with the performance, Vijay does a stupendous job when it comes to stunts and dance, but you know something? A person jumping from a long height, breaking a tree by kicking it is something that will make you laugh instead applause for. If Vijay continues to go for same kind of stuffs, then we are sure that Ilayathalapathy will overtake Telugu Superstar Balakrishnan who does more unbelievable comedic stunts like Kicking the track and re-routing the train from one platform to another and Mahesh Babu who breaks the wall into bricks just with a fist of hand.
Trisha on the other hand has nothing when compared to Jyothika’s performance in Dhool as directed by Dharani. Her dance is horrible and emoting to the situations are also not up to the expectations. Vivek is the only convincing part for the film and he makes you laugh to peak with his rib-trickling comedy tracks right throughout the first half. But the greatest flaw is Dharani putting an end to him in the second half.
Suman looks so bubbly that he is not apt for the negative role and it would have been nice if he was termed with starting lines of the song ‘Molu Molunu’.
Though couple of songs has been tuned in well like title song ‘Dandana Darna’ and ‘New Year Song’, other songs aren’t placed properly and it looks odd and makes you yawn with few. And you get vexed with the stunts, for they form major portion of the film. If stunts in the film are extracted, then duration of the movie would be hardly for 60mins.
Few traces of Telugu movie Bangaru directed by Dharani and stunt scenes imitated from Mahesh Babu Starrer Nandu are easily blatant.
As a whole, Kuruvi is a movie that can be watched for those who love lots of stunts without a gripping story and screenplay. A treat for diehard fan of Vijay and nothing special from Dharani who raised our expectations and now dashing it all.

plz
The movie is full of comercial. The first half comedy and second half only action.Second half more scenes copied in telugu movie chatrapathi. Songs all not bad. Really very good dance moments of first intro song(dharna) & climax song(yamma yamma). Vijay proved again his dance moments, and also did a very good job for dance master prem rakshith after ATM (ella pugazum). Vijay can do some leg moments, audience all noticed that prem rakshith only choreographed this song.Totally this movie is a average summer entertainment.
kuruvi-only name fly up..but movie..down..vijay take care next movie..
Good news to Ajith Fans!….
When comparing to our THALAI’s “ALWAR”, Kuruvi is nothing.
ALWAR was a real “BLOCKBUSTER” movie, Kuruvi is a flop one…
I became a diehard fan of Ajith after seeing the action movie “ALWAR”.
Dai “tharuthala” (ali ajith)fansunkala vayamoodungada plz compared vijay &ali ajith films lot of flop movies gave only ali ajith.Hai ‘ilayathalapathy fans’ dont think about bad commends these all commands done by only ali ajith fans .We r really proud of our vijay fans ‘ilayathalapathy vijay’always rocking
IF U WANNA C GOOD OR AVERAGE FILM,B OUT OF KURUVI.
VIJAY introduction itself horrible….he thinks that as if hrithik in dhoom..
how can a man from lift can go to under ground water…and even one bullet from villain cannot hit vijay ah…
VIJAY IS GOING TO BE NEXT VIJAYKANTH [BETTER THAN VIJAYKANTH]
this worthless piece of crap called Kuruvi is the movie to avoid at all costs.
Vijay can also be called as “MOKKASAAMY”
dont worry guys(vijay fans) our thalapathy will be back.thats what he is meant for.
ajith fans are speaking as if ajith hasnt even given a flop,ajith fans for your information ,ajith is the man(?!!!!) of flops.
vijay will rock,
vettri namakee………anbu thalaiva……..
i am a great vijay fan,i am dissappointed by seeing kuruvi,vijay must be very careful in selecting good stories
vijay is best for ever iam die hard fan of vijay because use see tamil cinema only vijay flim is the best entertainment movie i am not see the movie after that i will tell you about the kuruvi i said to all only vijay is unbeatable dont try that or otherwise you are all hurt your self including ajith because super star vijay is only capable to beat rajini records
alwar pelwar ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,pin thalwar
I was moved by Dharani`s previous films Ghilli,Dhool and with a great expectation,I watched the movie yesterday..Huh..Its a total comedy..People who are talking about viveks comedy in the film has missed about Vijay`s stunt comedies. I guess Vijay thinks himself as some superman or some spiderman. Jumping from great height ,chasing the trains, diving away from 100 pistol bullets without injury..What is this?? Even a diehard fan of vijay shouldnt applause for these..(If he has some sanity).
The movie is a total joke.. There is no logic..If u want see some magic, go and watch Harry Potter..
KURUVI sethu pochi pa sethu poche
pls Don’t compare vijay with Ajith, compare with junior Shivaji Dhushyanth and Karthik who had earlier acted in the film Mamadurai…..ok
I have ever seen a worst film in my life. But after seeing Kuruvi I felt very bad. I wasted my hard earned money and precious time. I am not a fan for anybody, So this words comes from my hearr. Truly I am saying Aathi is far far better compare to Kuruvi, in Aathi atleast songs were gud. But in Kuruvi nothing is gud except Vivek’s comedy. Simply to support vijay, his fans are trying.I think they are going mad poor people. Bcoz of Udayanithi’ name and wealth they are trying to show that the movie is big hit and giving advertisement and all.
“Kuruvi” total disappointment for all vijay fans.
Hi, everyone.To be honest with you, I have been following each and every Vijay’s movie. Definitely I think this guy has got good potential. But some how or rather , he often gets lost by giving movies like Kuruvi. Too much of heroism. Not sensible at all. Not too sure if it is , what the people of Tamil Nadu wants?To me hollywood movies they don’t just use cgi just for the sake of showing it to the audience. They use it wisely and whether will ,it suit the particular screen play. I think a movie like Billa was not too good, compared to Hindi version of Don was very exciting. Movies are for entertainment, but movies like Kuruvi will be a dissapointing entertainment. Maybe it is as good as watching Tiny Toons on cartoon Network. Have to wait for Kamal’s big project release. Hope fully Dasavatharam will be something unique. Unlike Sivaji nothing much just alot of money probably spent to make Rajinikanth look young. Just a normal plot from Director Shankar. Surya’s Jillunu Oru Khadaal was nice. It was not a expensive movie, but there was a good story flow. Not unnecessary CGI. Even the newly released Santhosh Subramaniam was equally good despite the fact the heroine was over reacting. Conclusion, Vijay’s Kuruvi is not a take off but a ultimate crash,it crashed even before take off. And one more thing, no point being any actors fan, cos this actors earn living by entertaining us. Their gains will never be shared among fans. Take entertainers as someone who are at our service to make us forget our stress & worries. Don’t let them be part of your lives.
This is one of the worst film…i can’t believe some people say this film rocks just because u r a “VIJAY FAN”…
Sure, I am a fan of vijay too…but to say the truth, it was a very disappointing movie for me.
Hope vijay acts in a better film next time.
Theriyama paathuputten..lol
