Siruthai - Review

Rocket Raja (Karthi) is a small time thief who is talented enough to steal anything he comes across. In the company of Kaatupoochi (Santhanam), he enjoys life to its extent and even falls for the charm of a beautiful girl (Tamannah). The first half of the movie goes completely dedicated to Rocket Raja and how is life is with the up's and down's and the scene where he is in the police station and tries to steal the officers purse and acts as though he didnt is a big A+ for Karthi in terms of comedy. However, his life changes forever when a small girl comes to Raja calling him dad. As Raja finds out the girl's past, a flashback reveals that she is the daughter of an honest cop Rathanavel Pandian (Karthi), who is a nightmare to baddies.However, Pandian is now is on the run because his enemies are behind him and his daughter. Eventually, the villains find the whereabouts of Pandian and finishes him off. So steps in Rocket Raja (with the help of Pandian’s colleagues who are behind the girl reaching him) into his shoes and finishes the unfinished work of Pandian. He also takes care of his daughter. The combination of Karthi and Santhanam is a major plus in terms of comedy and the sense and timing of Santhanam proves to be good laugh. Overall a roller-coaster ride of fun, joy, camaraderie and romance is what 'Siruthai' is eventually. A must watch this Pongal.
