Last
year,
the
much-loved
Mani
Ratnam
suffered
a
major
setback
when
his
film
Kaatru
Veliyidai
opened
to
an
under-whelming
response
at
the
box
office
and
received
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics.
A
romantic-drama,
it
boasted
of
memorable
performances
from
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
and
Karthi.
However,
this
was
not
enough
to
save
it
from
being
a
disappointment.
With
2017
in
the
rear-view,
Mani
Ratnam
is
back
with
his
latest
big
release
Chekka
Chivantha
Vaanam.
A
crime-drama,
it
is
one
of
the
big
releases
of
the
year
and
it
has
already
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
the
movie
buffs,
courtesy
its
awesome
trailers.
Chekka
Chivantha
Vaanam
is
a
multi-starrer
and
features
Arvind
Swamy,
Jyothika
and
STR
in
the
lead.
The
film's
main
cast
also
features
Jyothika
and
Vijay
Sethupathi.
Actor
Prakash
Raj
plays
a
key
role
in
Chekka
Chivantha
Vaanam
and
his
character
is
likely
to
be
an
integeral
part
of
the
plot.
Chekka
Chivantha
Vaanam
hits
the
screens
today
(Septemer
27,2018)
and
its
first
shows
are
set
to
begin.
Here
is
a
look
at
what
the
fans
have
to
say
about
the
film.
According
to
this
viewer,
Chekka
Chivantha
Vaanam
proves
that
Mani
Ratnam
is
a
master
storyteller.
The
fan
further
states
that
STR
and
Vijay
Sethupathi
have
done
a
splendid
job
in
the
film.
CCAs
per
this
fan,
AR
Rahman's
background
score
and
Vijay
Sethupathi's
power-packed
performances
are
the
biggest
highlights
of
this
action-drama.
The
fan
adds
than
CCV
proves
Mani
Ratnam
is
the
best
in
the
best.
#ChekkaChivanthaVaanam
Engaging
screenplay
that
picks
up
the
slack
for
the
ho
hum
script(especially
in
the
second
half).
We
have
seen
this
story
countless
of
times
but
the
performances,direction
and
cinematography
make
it
feel
fresh.
This
movie
buff
states
that
Chekka
Chivantha
Vaanam
offers
nothing
fresh,
however,
it
still
clicks
with
the
audience
because
of
Mani
Ratnam's
excellent
direction.
