Review of the film Kaatteri: This scary comedy has passed its prime

Review of the movie Kaatteri: In Kaatteri, director Deekay reuses the setup from his first film Yaamirukka Bayamey to create a new horror-comedy that features gullible heroes, an eclectic cast of comic characters, and an even more eclectic collection of ghosts. The main characters in this story are foolish small-time criminals who have incurred the wrath of their boss, a terrifying gangster. They decide to flee there with a psychiatrist whom their boss had assigned them to kidnap and an unaware policeman after learning of a village that is home to treasure. But they don’t realise it’s a ghost town until they actually arrive at the location.

While Yaamirukka Bayamey didn’t invent anything new, it was creative enough to provide us with a unique experience and set itself apart from the glut of horror comedies that were popular at the time it was released in Tamil cinema. Kaatteri would have debuted at the tail end of the horror comedy craze if not for production setbacks, which would have given it a period feel. But now that the trend has changed, the movie seems like an anomaly that has outlived its usefulness. It doesn’t help this one’s case that it treads on ground that has almost been covered by movies of its calibre.

There isn’t much to really impress us other than the concept of basing a story around the ghosts we hear in our folktales, such as Kaatteri, Maathamma, Mohini, and Echakkutty, and the opening set-piece where we witness a mass murder. The actors are in fine form, and there are a few laughs and fewer scares, but these don’t feel like enough. The treatment of its female characters, who are frequently objectified, is the biggest letdown. The film feels the most dated when male actors are seen gazing at, lusting after, or invading the personal space of the female characters in the name of comedy.

At first, April 26 was when the movie was supposed to open in cinemas. It was now published on May 3. Under the name Avni Cinemax, Khushbu Sundar is the producer. Released in 2021, it is the follow-up to Aranmanai 3 and the fourth installment in the Aranmanai film series.

Review of Aranmanai 4

Sundar C’s Aranmanai series is meant for the masses who just want to be entertained without too much logic. They want some jump scares, some funny dialogue and comical exchanges between the cast, some fights, some element of faith, a thumping song, and the climax where the evil is vanquished and everyone’s a happy family once again. This is how the Hindustan Times reviewed the movie. Since this is also the central theme in Aranmanai 4, the filmmaker appears to have mastered the idea after four editions. If you walk into Aranmanai 4 with no expectations, you won’t leave the movie utterly delighted, but you also won’t leave feeling let down.”
