Consistent Plot Removal
Please stop with the removal of the plot portion of this article. If you have something which contradicts what has been cited please change the wording or add to it. Let's open a dialogue here to iron out the plot issues instead of starting edit wars on the article.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 17:22, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Simple removal of it is not acceptable (neither to prevent giving away details supposed to be a surprise (WP:SPOILERS) nor to help boost box-office attendance to find it out (WP:ADVERTISING, etc.). If it's supported by reliable sources, it's includable. If there are contradictory sources or disputed details, that can be included as well (or instead if they are more reliable). I'll push it up to full-protection if this continues (apparently it's not just new/IP editors involved (semi-protection is not solving it), but longer-term editors who should know better (I already blocked one).

Please delete the "Plot" section of this wiki. The movie is not yet released and someone has posted a plot.

❌ the plot appears to be from a reliable source - we do not prohibit, or warn about, "spoilers", the fact that the section is called "Plot", should be enough for people who do not want to know the plot, not to read it. - Arjayay (talk) 15:01, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Kaththi opened to highly positive reviews from critics. OnlyKollywood gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and stated Kaththi makes a sweeping statement on the most alarming issue in the country without going over-the-top : 'Agriculture' in a neatly packaged commercial drama!". Moviecrow gave 3.75 out of 5 and stated the movie is smart sharp as its title. Behindwoods gave 3 out of 5 and stated "Murugadoss delivers a strong commercial movie with a nice social angle, in true Vijay style". Iflickz gave 3.35 stars out of 5 stars and over viewed that "'Kaththi' is very sharp and hits you with indigestible facts. Vijay and AR Murugadoss create a different kind of magic this time around". Sify gave 4 out of 5 and stated the movie is a well made entertainer with a powerful message. M. Suganth of The Times Of India gave 3.85 out of 5 and wrote "'kaththi' will definitely be picked up by a big Bollywood star for a remake.For, the knife which was bang on target.

International Business Times gave 4 out of 5 and stated "Kaththi" is a message-oriented and highly entertaining commercial movie. S.Saraswathi of Rediff stated "Kaththi entertains with a message" and rated 4/5 as well. Indiaglitz said "A very sharp solid commercial entertainer movie packaged by Vijay and AR Murugadoss and rated 3.25 stars out of 5 TruthDrive said "the movie has received a grandeur response from the audience" and stated "Vijay does justice to his role as we can clearly distinguish the different roles he is enacting and rated 4/5 as well" Cinemalead.com stated "the knife shines on both the sides" and rated 3.85/5.

 * 3.5/5 doesn't exactly sound like "highly positive" to me. Stickee (talk) 23:40, 11 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: as the 3.5 mentioned by Stickee is about the average rating - there are also scores of 3, 3.25 and 3.35 none of which are "highly positive" - Arjayay (talk) 12:17, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Horrible English
This is terrible! Has anyone noticed the Production Section, specifically under the heading Vijay and arm Combo. Lots of grammatical mistakes, incomplete phrases and the semantics of the overall paragraph is highly incomprehensive.

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: Is Galata Woods a reliable source? -- Sam Sing! 12:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Why does it say it is the highest grossed movie of 2014?
Why does it say it is the highest grossed movie of 2014 when Veeram which was released in 2014 grossed 130 crores? It hasn't been listed on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Tamil_films as the highest grosser of 2014. Can you please remove? Source doesn't make sense and it contradicts with the data that has been stated on Veeram. It says in IB times, Kaththi has grossed 112 crores whereas, Forbes (which I think is a better source) says it has 135 crores. Obviously, Kaththi can't the biggest grosser. Use your common sense and remove it please
