Rajnikanth's show all the way.

The script falls flat at times, while the movie pulls you into two extremes - Rajini's many extraordinary merits and Pasupathy's warm-hearted honesty. But it is director P Vasu's script that must shoulder the responsibility of how Kuselan has ultimately turned out. If only the dialogues and screenpl...(more)

Lost in translation!

Although Rajini remains the main focus of the movie, Pasupathy proves to be the saving grace of the movie at times. Meena has done an okay job. G.V.

It is a tough task for an actor like Pasupathy to carry the entire burden on his shoulders acting alongside a scene stealer like Rajinikanth. Pasupathy passes out with flying colors. Hats off to him! Meena is more of a realistic portrayal. Nayanthara executes the job entrusted to her quite well. Vad...(more)

Rajni's image makeover.

Kuselan has the special aura and look of a typical Rajni film; yet, in the place of the usual style king, audiences get to see the emotional actor in the superstar. Pasupathy in his role shines as a solid performer. Arvind Krishna's camera and Thotta Tharani's art direction - all these constitute Ku...(more)
