Pros:
*First 45 minutes of the movie gave me the satisfaction of watching a complete art film. I don't usually shed tears for movie scenes but this movie almost made me cry for few scenes. Instead of polishing the scenes with too much tragedy, things are presented very naturally yet leaving the deep impact. Aurangazeeb drama and the scene where Vijaysethupathi seeing the city people's lifestyle from an auto were top class emotional.
*Cinematography and background music both are big pillars for this movie. They given life to almost every scenes
*Vijaysethupathi's performance as an old man.
*Characterization: Mouli, 'Naduvula konjam pakkatha kaanum' fame Bagavathy Perumaal and Saravanan, Mahendran, Karunakaran and guys who acted as directors in this film have performed well. Cameos from Bharathiraja, Bhagyaraj, Ram and Ramya Nambeesan were good.
*Delivering comedy through face expressions was really good. Because of this, Junior artists who acted in one or two scenes also had the scope to impress with their performance/expression. Though the comedy scenes were too lengthy, all of them are enjoyable
Cons:
*It seemed like there was no editing at all. There were too much re(peated)takes in shooting spot scenes on both first and second half of the film. Though the comedy was good how long we can be patient seeing the story is not at all moving further? It would be better if some scenes were trimmed
*I felt that someone else might be the better option for that guy who acted as a producer-hero in second half. He is having the major screen space in second half and personally I felt he is not a good choice
*Though the message they tried to deliver was good, story was too weak for a feature film. In most of the scenes, I felt like they are just passing the time by showing the shooting spot scenes. According to me the movie was over in first half itself. Second half was like extended version of few scenes they shown before interval. And also moving this kind of story with elements like soul, ghost etc are not at all suitable.
Overall Seethakaathi
1st Half - Satisfied 2nd Half- Not Satisfactory
Who can watch: Vijaysethupathi fans, those who like silent comedy movies, art film lovers and also those who blamed Vijaysethupathi for acting same kind of characters in recent times must watch this film
Who may skip: commercial movie lovers, those who expect a fully fledged comedy film like naduvula konjam pakkatha kaanum, those who expect Vijaysethupathi's performance to be like in his recent films may skip this movie.
Rating: 6.5/10
