Japan

Senseless Narration * Lackluster Story & Very Poor Screenplay * Forgettable Songs * Silly Heroine Track & Investigation Scenes * Half Baked Sub Plots * Weak Characterizations.

* no logic and all characters look like serial drama artist for episodes * Worst body language of karthi and don't know what he is trying to imitate * Even the screenplay is very weakly written. The flow of scenes never makes any proper sense and the scenes never create an interest in the way they are being unfolded on screen. All the subplots are poorly written, especially the heroine track looks very silly and unwanted as she appears only for 10 minutes in the whole film. Even the whole investigation process never engages us.

Probably one of the worst movies in Karthi's career. No idea why he accepted such a movie. And no idea how the director narrated the story to the main cast and convinced the producer to make such a movie. No story, no comedy, no action, zero entertainment. Movie started off with a fight between a husband and wife followed by a robbery scene. Then comes the hero introduction. Probably one of the worst hero introduction you can ever think of. Then the story gives a feeling of an introduction to a good cops film. But continues without any proper direction. No proper villain character and no proper cast. Importantly, no idea about the film location, Cops travel to Andhra then Kerala and then again to Tamilnadu and all these within two days by road. There is no scope for heroine. She comes for few scenes and suddenly disappeared. KS Ravikumar comes for 3 or 4 scenes, but don't know what character does he play in the movie. Time to mother sentiment, just to convince the family audience, which is the biggest minus for the film. Please watch it if you have enough money and time to waste...

Cops in search of a culprit named 'Japan' for robbing a jewellery shop.

Unexpected film from Actor Karthi (played as a lead 'Japan') and director Raju Murugan. Unexpected in the sense 'disappointed'.

The main reason was the poor screenplay. The film started, travelled and ended in a complete boring way. Not even attractive in a single scene. None of the technical aspects supported this film. The composition and a few frames of this film worked from a cinematography aspect. Even the title card didn't perfectly made and the tag animation of Karthi's 25 (The 25th film of the actor who performed the 'Japan' character)too had poor graphics. The cast performed really well.

Nothing positive to say about this film. Really disappointing!! This film would have been better if the importance of Japan's character gave to the screenplay. Only the Japan character, Karthi's performance, his costume design and make up shines.

Before you guys spending money on this movie, Karthi was going with the flow then suddenly I don't know why he chooses this movie worst screenplay worst storyline and acting was kind of unnatural Karthi tried a new body language and slang but it gets annoying in a while.

GV Prakash music was ok other actors like fillers to this movie not an impactful characters.

The movie mixed with variety of sentiment and entertainment but it doesn't helps us to get in with the flow if you 're a expecting something big like Kaidhi or Theeran this is not the right movie overall not worth it for money I spent.

Being a big fan of Karthi's movies, it's disappointing to say that if I were to rank them from worst to best, this particular film unfortunately takes the top spot. I had a challenging time with it - the story felt weak, the plot was confusing, and the attempts at humor just didn't work for me. The pacing issues made both halves of the movie drag on, leaving me pretty disappointed.

The core problem was the story itself - it lacked the depth and complexity that I usually appreciate in Karthi's films. The way the plot unfolded felt disjointed, making it hard to stay connected with the characters. The humor fell flat, and at times, it was just plain boring.

Despite Karthi's efforts with a new approach to his character, something didn't click on screen. Whether it's the script or directorial choices, the effort didn't translate well.

Now, while this film might currently hold the "worst" position in my ranking, I still have faith in Karthi's talent. Every artist faces ups and downs, and I'm hopeful that this is just a temporary setback in his career. I look forward to seeing him bounce back with stronger projects. This review isn't a critique of his entire filmography - it's more like a rough patch that I hope he moves past soon.
