Story

The story is set amidst a coastal slum where Sharath Lokitashwa is a local don of sorts part timing as a loan shark (usury to be precise). His henchmen help him deal with money issues, their way – the hard way with fists. When Dhilip Subbarayan happens to take the lives of John Vijay and Chaya Singh(who plays the sister to Dinesh), it’s time for Dinesh to bucle up and stand up to have his revenge- not by total force, but also by tact. And that is what the story of  ‘Ulkuthu’ revolves around.

Dinesh has shown us real potential when he donned the khakis in ‘Thirudan Police’, but the verve in a ‘rowdy’ demeanor seems a little lacking in ‘Ulkuthu’ sadly. Adding to that his presence in alongside Lokitashwa’s towering stature is very apparent, making it a tad cumbersome to come to terms with his raw character in the movie. Dinesh’s performance in the movie is nothing out of the ordinary, but he has retained his usual emoting flavour.

Though Nandita as the leading lady has only a negligible portion in the film, she aces it in delivering a believable performance when Dinesh’s true colours are revealed. Balasaravanan’s role is one which brims with humour and the actor has justified the same with his comic body language and persona.
