Kandasamy is a commercial masala but comes with a Midas touch of master craftsmen like Susi Ganesan and Vikram. Also the film is releasing at very right season when the audiences are tired with a series of crap movies.

The Vikram-Thaanu-Susi Ganesan combination is becoming the biggest winner of this season with a perfect, hi styled commercial film with an evergreen theme i.e., The emergence of superhero against corruption in the system!

The film opens with scenes which showing the poor people praying in a Murugan Temple at the outskirts of Chennai. They simply sending their prayers to Kandasamy, another name of Tamil Lord Muruga who in the temple, through a letter and tie it in a tree (known as petition tree) in front of the temple. After few minutes, our Kandasamy (also the name of our hero Vikram) collects the letters and helps them according to their needs. Mostly people requesting financial help from God!

After few incidents Kandasamy becomes the local god for the prople. His Robinhood style of helping poor woes lot of petitions and also the attentions of police. The local DIG of Police (Prabhu) suspects that there is something unnatural about it and starts his investigations.

Meanwhile, our hero has the other face as a strict, powerful and intelligent CBI officer Kandasamy! He is on a mission to find out black money and illegal wealth of rich and corrupt Indians stashed in foreign banks, which he believes is responsible for all the crime in our society.

Soon he clashes with Pallur Paramajyoti Ponnusamy (Ashish Vidyarti), the man with a golden tooth and greedy heart. Kandasamy conducts a raid in his palatial bungalow and finds unaccounted cash and documents of various foreign deals including his Mexican connections worth over Rs 1000 crore!

Ashish Vidyarthy is devastated after the raid and his only daughter Subbalakshmi (Shriya Saran) swears revenge and pretends to fall in love with Kandasamy.

At a stage, situation exposed that both the Kandhasamies are the same. But a senior official in CBI protecting Kandhasamy in this critical situation.

What makes Kandhasamy to do all these Robinhood activities? Why this senior officer protecting him? Will the DIG succeed in proving that Kandhasamy is no God? See the answer for all these interesting questions in the Silver Screen!

Though the story is looks like a mixture of Anniyan and Sivaji – The Boss, Susi Ganesan succeeds in providing a 3.15 minutes roller coaster entertaiment with all needy ingredients without any questions even in some illogical moments. The Rooster get up of Vikram, the Mexican portion are stunning.

On negative side, the length is definitely not a plus point. Susi must reconsider the length of few portions particularly the scenes involve with villains.

Vikram rocks as a CBI officer Kandasamy and as a local Robinhood. He has given a new dimension to the characters he plays in the film and steers it to the winning post. Particularly, his appearance with a rooster head and differnt costume steals the show. The highlight is Kandasamy dressed as a woman (like Aishwarya Rai). The presence of Charly and Mayilsamy make the scene very hilarious.

Certainly, Kandasamy is another feather in the golden cap of this fantastic actor.

Ace comedian Vadivelu rocks in the role as Thenkakadai Thenappan. Prabhu fits well in the role of an investigating officer. Susi Ganesan also appears in a cameo role.

Shriya, as a heroine did her role well. Her stylish look and impeccable professional approach make her role close to the viewers heart.

Devi Sri Prasad’s music is another pleasing element in the film. All the songs are coming out well and the  camera work of NK Ekambaram makes the film as a high class entertainment.

Watch-worth!
