Kalavu (2019 film)

Theft) is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language crime thriller film written and directed by Murali Karthick.

The film stars Kalaiyarasan and Karunakaran, with Vatsan Chakravarthy and Abhirami Iyer in a supporting roles.

It isn’t a coincidence that Kalavu opens with a couplet structured like a Thirukkural.

The Thirukkural, in one of its verses, says that even a lie will be placed on par with the truth if it gives unblemished returns.

With the scenes and its match cuts, director Murali Karthick firmly positions himself as an unreliable narrator, keeping you hooked".
