5. Having received a clean U from the censor board, the film promises a change from the routine, violent Madurai fare.

4. The very premise of the ‘’seval fights’’, of the Madurai railway colony is novel and looks exciting!

3. Vetrimaran showcased his talent with Polladhavan coming up as a director to look out for and judging by his strong debut, Aadukalam is only likely to be a step higher.

2. GV Prakash’s music is already topping the charts. From the refreshing ‘’Yathe Yathe’’ to a soul-filled ‘’kuthu’’ song in ‘’Otha Solaalla’’ to a rap number, the music director has successfully explored several genres and the 2 years of hard work definitely shows.

1. The number 1 reason is the star going strong on 5 hits in a row- Dhanush. Usually self-belittling Dhanush himself rates Aadukalam as being his best work yet. Backed by a director who extracted a career defining performance from him in Polladhavan, Dhanush is sure to sparkle in Aadukalam and only go from strength to strength.
