Sutta Kadhai is a Tamil language black comedy film released in 2013. Directed by Subu, the film features Balaji, Venkatesh Harinathan and Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli in lead roles. The film is produced by P.Thirumalai and S.Chandrasekaran under their banner Two Movie Buffs. The movie revolves around the life of three friends - Kathir (Balaji), Kumar (Venkatesh Harinathan) and Abbas (Siva). It deals with their experiences after they smoke a cigarette laced with drugs sold by a stranger.

The film begins with the trio who work in different professions, deciding to meet up at a pub to celebrate Kathir's birthday. As they indulge in drinks and cigarettes, they encounter a stranger who offers them a brand of cigarettes that are more potent than the ones they are smoking. Without a second thought, they decide to try it, oblivious to the danger that they are subjecting themselves to.

Unbeknownst to the friends, the cigarettes are spiked with highly potent psychoactive drugs that leave them completely altered. The rest of the movie revolves around the events that follow their decision to smoke this cigarette.

As the effects of the drug take hold, the friends start experiencing hallucinations and their reality slowly starts to unravel. The rest of the movie is filled with twists and turns as the friends try to recover from the after-effects of their ill-advised inebriation.

The film uses dark humor to explore the repercussions of drug use and addiction. The plot throws light on the effects of substance abuse and how it can lead one down a path unwillingly. The film's gritty and realistic portrayal of addiction makes it stand out, and the brilliant performances by the lead actors make it a film that is both entertaining and impactful.

Balaji gives a compelling performance as Kathir, the protagonist who starts off as a fun-loving, carefree young man but shows different shades of himself when he is under the influence of the drugs. Venkatesh Harinathan, on the other hand, gives an intense and controlled performance as Kumar. His portrayal of a person who is trying hard to keep his sanity together and control his emotions is commendable. Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli is the surprise element of the movie as she puts on a great performance as a bystander to the events that unfold.

The music for the movie is composed by Madley Blues, with the album featuring six tracks. The background score is minimalist and adds to the overall eerie atmosphere in the movie.

In conclusion, Sutta Kadhai is a critically acclaimed Tamil language film that explores the dangers of drug addiction and the ill-effects that come with it. It is a movie that is both entertaining and impactful at the same time. The black comedy element makes the film more engaging and approachable for viewers, and the performances of the lead actors are top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to watch a well-made movie that is both thought-provoking and entertaining.
