Kaithi (2019)
5/10
Unrealistic movie that survives due to the emotional connection between a convict and his daughter.

Warning: Spoilers
Although the director has put his heart and soul in this movie, most of the sequences in this movie looks unrealistic. The protagonist more or less looks like a immortal being sent into this plot who could survive infinite amount of melee attacks and could also survive several stone attacks on the back of head.

One part of the plot that revolves around the police station was too good to be true. When a bunch of youngsters who are detained in police station for drunken driving in a normal world wouldn't involve themselves in acts that could potentially prove to be fatal. But, the director defies the norm here. The detained group of youngsters (read as good samaritans) decide to help a old cop who has been transferred to that police station that night keep vigil until the protagonist along with the senior cop arrive there. As one would expect, the police station that has rogues filled in it and parasitic thugs who try to jail break the police station from the outside finally butcher one of the detainees.

Just like his previous film, "maanagaram", lokesh kanagaraj has made this movie with logic defying stunts that are absurd to say the least. In spite of all this, the emotional bond between the protagonist who waits for 10 years to see his daughter for the first time lifts the spirits of the entire movie which is otherwise pulled down by the trite sequences.
