An emotional crime thriller that has a fresh treatment!
Review by: Behindwoods
Critic ReviewRating: 5.5 / 10
Two things work in favor of the film, the intense suspense drama and the underlying emotional plot associated with the story. The emotions in particular have clicked well. Sri Ganesh must be lauded for his gutsy thought to infuse a melodramatic play to a crime plot. That emotion makes the whole plot convincing.
A couple hit the target

Critic ReviewRating: 5.0 / 10
Sri Ganesh has put up a list of the films that inspired him, including Mysskin's 'Anjathey' and 'Yuttham Sei' along with other foreign films by the likes of Akira Kurosawa. Those films were different from the run of the mill, but also in their own rights highly engaging with some entertaining elements thrown in. It is unfortunate that Sri Ganesh's '8 Thottakkal' is neither here nor there, but with the promise shown he is definitely one to watch out for in the future.
A promising newcomer dishes out a worthy crime drama

If you are an ardent film buff, 8 Thottakkal should be on your watch list this weekend. It is unevenly paced and has a few frills. Still, director Sriganesh deserves a warm welcome from viewers.
