Analysis
‘Soodhu Kavvum’ is a comedy like no other. The comedy isn’t forced by one-liners or running gags. The plight of the characters stuck in comedic situations is what gets the laugh out of the audience. All this can be credited to the great script coupled with wonderful direction. Director

It has only one song, which is very less considering Tamil cinema standards, where the characters break into a song in every five minutes. The use of background music compliments the scenes a lot.
Star Performances
Vijay Sethupathy is amazing as the quirky, crazy yet innocent Das. His comic timing is extraordinary, and when matched with the humorous situations in the plot, the result is a laughter riot. The supporting cast is outstanding. Bobby Simha, Ashok Selvan and Ramesh Tilak shine as the reluctant sidekicks to the oddball Das.
