She debuted in Tamil with the film Vetrivel (2016), playing the role of Latha. Editing for a non-linear screenplay is a challenge and Praveen Antony has done no mistake with that.Nikhila Vimal is a South Indian actress who predominantly works in Malayalam film industry and has acted in a few Tamil and Telugu films. The dutch angle in the very first shot of the movie is the best example for that.The stunts in the film have been very raw and violent. S.R.Kathir's visuals are not only beautiful but also very much supportive of the story. 'Vandiyila Nellu Varum' and 'Thalakaalu Puriyalaye' are noteworthy numbers from the Rajathanthiram actor.

O.A.K.Sundar and Ramasamy do justice to their roles.ĭarbuka Siva makes his debut as music director with Kidaari, and he has given a wonderful background score for the film, which elevates the moods of every scene. Suja Varunee and veteran actor Napolean appear in brief cameos. He carries the role with ease and perfection, and his mannerisms suit the local don. Vela Ramamurthy, who made an impact with films like Komban, Madha Yaanai Koottam, Sethupathi, plays the character of Kombaiya Pandian. Her attempts to attract Sasikumar are cute. Nikhila Vimal is a lovely selection in the cast who fits into the role perfectly as Sasikumar's love interest and small town girl. Right from his entry till the last frame, he has carried the movie on his shoulders and his screen presence works in the favour of the movie. Kidaari is yet another addition to Sasikumar's regular rural drama. Being a revenge saga, the movie has many fight sequences, but over a point of time, it gets a little too much, as there is so much violence. Had the writing been much stronger, its narration could have worked much better. The film loses out on its engagement at times due to its slow narration. There are typical Sasikumar dialogues, but you do not see even one friendship dialogue in this movie, which is a regularity in Sasikumar's films. Scenes involving the lead pair are beautiful and their chemistry works out good.

The non-linear screenplay, coming from a debut director, Prasath Murugesan is very much appreciable and promising.Though the film is raw and rustic, you get to see emotions conveyed in a subtle manner. The movie moves in episodic structure and every episode adds value to the core plot.

Though the story might be a familiar one, the screenplay is where the director scores. Do they kill him? What does Kidaari do? Well, the movie answers these questions with a violent and rustic screenplay Being a local don in the surrounding, Kombaiya Pandian tends to earn a lot of enemies who in turn, plan to kill him. Kidaari (Sasikumar) is a loyal servant and man of guard for his master Kombaiya Pandian (Vela Ramamurthy).
