Madhavan’s Irudhi Suttru, a bilingual sports drama film written and directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad released today. Simultaneously shot in Tamil and Hindi, under the title Saala Khadoos, the film features R. Madhavan in the leading role as a ‘khadoos’ (boorish) boxing coach, with newcomer Ritika Singh as an aspiring boxer. Madhavan is no less than a stunner himself and we are sure his fans would drool over his boxer avatar, which is something we have never seen before.

Both versions are produced by C. V. Kumar and S. Sashikanth for Thirukumaran Entertainment and Y NOT Studios, while Varun Manian’s Radiance Media presents the Tamil version and Madhavan’s Tricolour Films and Rajkumar Hirani present the Hindi version respectively.

Irudhi Suttru / Saala Khadoos Movie Review & Rating:

“Saala Khadoos” has rich production values and the music and picturisation are the big attractions in the technical front. As a boxing coach, actor R Madhavan has delivered brilliant performance and his intensity of emotions is the main highlight of the film.

The film itself doesn’t match up to the glory of its stunning visual velocity or its leading man ‘s towering performance. Sivkumar Vijayan’s camerawork glides across the simmering surfaces capturing the anger frustration and bitterness of Madhavan’s character before moving inwards to peer into the anatomy of human failure and redemption.

Mumtaz Sorcar, Nassar, Zakir Hussain and other supporting artistes’ performances are also big assets of the film. Boxer Ritika Singh, who is making her acting debut with this movie, has lot of scope of performance and she has done her best for her role.

Plus Points:

• Madhavan’s performance
• Sathish Suriya’s editing is sharp
• Sivakumar Vijayan’s Camera work
• Ritika acting

All India Roundup Rating: 3.25/5

Final Verdict: Unusual love story against a sport background. Madhavan’s career’s finest performance. Must Watch!
