TAKKAR Movie Review (Tamil) 

In director Karthik G's "Takkar," we are introduced to Krish Gunasekaran (Siddharth), a teenager who firmly believes that money is the key to living a respectable life in this world. From the beginning, the director establishes the importance of money to the protagonist. Krish arrives in Chennai with the ambition to earn and become rich, but he struggles to find a place where he can work without compromising his personality. Eventually, he becomes a cab driver.

Meanwhile, the film also portrays gangs involved in anti-social activities and the illicit trade of young women for profit. Through a series of events, Krish finds himself crossing paths with one such gang. This encounter presents him with an opportunity to earn a significant amount of money. However, complications arise when his vehicle is damaged, jeopardizing his work.

At a point where Krish feels like his life is falling apart, he meets Lucky (Divyansha Kaushik), an incredibly wealthy woman who believes that money is the root of all problems in life. The story revolves around how Krish and Divyansha's lives improve beyond the constraints imposed by money and social status.

The director's portrayal of two characters with contrasting views on money and life is intriguing. However, the screenplay falls short in certain aspects. The narrative appears crowded with many events occurring simultaneously, resulting in a rapid succession of different emotions such as action, romance, and comedy every ten minutes. It feels as though a wide range of emotions has been forcefully incorporated.

Siddharth shoulders the film with his performance, while the comedy sequences in the second half lack the desired impact. Yogibabu's one-liners are not consistently effective, and Divyansha Kaushik's role doesn't provide much scope for her acting abilities.

On a positive note, Nivas Prasanna's music is commendable. Those who approach the film without any particular expectations will likely enjoy "Takkar." However, for viewers seeking a more cohesive and balanced experience, the film may fall within familiar territory.

Overall, "Takkar" offers an interesting exploration of contrasting perspectives on money and life, with Siddharth delivering a noteworthy performance. While the screenplay could have been more refined, the film has its merits, and Nivas Prasanna's music adds to its appeal.
