Movie follows mugamudi and thuparivaaln. He has lost his touch. Worst among the worst. Creator says this is good cinema, and people are forced to accept it. Mysskin. Concentrate on acting. Your acting is better than your direction.

Psycho, in many ways transcends the limits that Tamil cinema has imposed on many of their 'crime thrillers'. And for that, a moment of appreciation is more than deserving for Mysskin. But for where it should've excelled, it falls flat on its face. When you take a genre of film that is notoriously saturated, at least make sure that your work stands out story wise. Psycho borrows inspiration heavily from many, many western films. And in many ways, Mysskin has created a clone of those crime thrillers that you so love in Hollywood.

All the acting was meh. Nobody's acting particularly stood out. Nithya Menon was the best among the bunch, along with Rajkumar Pitchumani (the psycho), who delivered what was expected of a role like this. Udhayanidhi Stalin was pretty okay, not really dwelling deep into his character.

With the onslaught of crime thrillers in recent times, i really expected this to stand out.

Nothing makes some sense in this movie. A dumb mistake at the start when the female lead says hello to a Ghost, no one was there if you think it's the guy inside the counter she would at least make a Eye contact for a continously made long shot. Bunch of Korean and Hollywood movies with the dexter Mask. The director should make something with all that money invested. What a waste, that girl in wheelchair is the worst thing that movie has. There's nothing remarkable about this movie and the story. I'd say worst Tamil movie I've seen lately. Too bad

Mysskin is a director I respect and i personally believe his best movie was Anjaathey. Psycho when compared to gutter trash like Ratsasan is an achievement but Mysskin can definitely do better.This movie will be remembered for its exceptional soundtrack by Maestro Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja and visuals by debutante Tanvir Mir.Great production values and set pieces also adds to the positives of the film.Story wise theres' nothing new, a serial killer with the cliched abusive past murders and beheads his victims and gets away 15 times or more in this era of cctvs and well lit streets( everything happens in and around a bustling city in Tamilnadu).A blind but well off Udayanidhi goes after the killer when his fiancee gets abducted.He later joins forces with a paraplegic ex cop, Nithya Menen.Those who watched Eli Roths' Hostel or Jee Woon Kims classic 'I saw the Devil' will feel at home whenever the killers' lair and his apron is shown on screen. Mysskin manages to arrange the proceedings somehow convincingly though the killer is not menacing enough. Aditi Rao Hydri in the final moments lip syncs to some stupid preaching in the voice of a 12 year old and manages to kill all seriousness of the mayhem that happened thus far.And Raaja walks away with the crown playing Thaayin Madiyil.

Directed by Mysskin, one of the iconic directors of Tamil cinema, Psycho, as expected is dark and disturbing, similar to his previous films.

Music by Sir Ilayaraja, the BGM score etches the heart of the audience to the screen. Three melodies by the melody king, adds life to the scene and makes you hum even after the end of the show.

Cinematography by Tanveer Mir, is unbelievable. From what we can see, the cameras were swirling around at multiple angles all the times. Kudos to him.

Edited by N. Arunkumar, the film has a professional editing style and it's precisely cut providing audience engagement during the watchtime.

Written by Mysskin himself, the writing was average. The dialogues seemed stuffed and artificial. The characters are one dimensional and any actor could've performed the lead role leaving no space for acting.

Dubbing was awful. Though the dialogues were minimum, they are mostly spoken over closed lips. The voice of the dubbing artist Savitha Reddy didn't suit Aditi Rao Hydari.

Rajkumar as Angulimala and an unknown actress as Teacher Rachel, are the two promising actors in the film who wasn't Mysskin's mind. All the other characters resembled the tone of Mysskin in one or the other way.

To conclude, Psycho is watchable. It's engaging and would definitely be a treat for the thrill loving audience. It can also be disturbing for sensitive people. It's only worth watching in theatres for Illayaraja sir's music and Tanveer's cinematography. Other than that, you must have tolerance towards fellow audience as they can be really annoying and may spoil the thrill and chill.

Psycho-True to it's genre, it's indeed a very engaging psychological thriller..The direction, Cinematography and the music were top notch..The killer's performance was splendid-Finally Kollywood is moving in the right direction..There are lot of logic mistakes but the overall narrative of this movie and Raja sir's mesmarizing music will make you forget all of it and go home with a satisfactory mind..

There r multiple reasons to watch #PsychoTamilMovie - bollywood wont make such an astonishing film because it wont appeal to everyone - director #Mysskin narrates a vicious tale where women r butchered n their heads r preserved as trophies - the cops r clueless - the best part is we know who the slaughterer is - towards the end we actually sympathize with him - #NithyaMenen is perfect as the rude cop who helps the hero - do watch it - rating 3.5/5.

#Psycho- Movie starts with a murder akin to the title and gets right into the plot. The initial 15 minute romance might seem slow but that is the core driving factor for Udayanithi in the movie. He has done a decent job and I think the main reason is because his eyes are never shown. Nithya Menon is terrific as a person in wheelchair throughout. Director Ram's role isn't well defined. The movie is about how a blind man and a quadriplegic women track a serial killer. Illayaraja's background score is terrific and elevates the tension especially in the climax. The movie is self indulgent at times and shots linger a little too long in typical Mysskin style. There are some scenes were there is absolute silence on screen and audience behave like school students without a teacher which spoils the mood. There is scene in the beginning where a blind Udayanithi drives a car and I was wondering why would a blind person drive but it all comes together in the end. The reason the killer chose these women is not explained in the end and the fact that Udayanithi is able to find clues that Police couldn't is a little hard to believe. The movie has excessive violence - so viewer discretion is advised. This is a typical Myskin movie and his fans will love it- not one his best but definitely worth watching for thriller movie fans.

Superb film from Mysskin. Udhayanidhi Stalin's best film till date. Absolutely good performance.

Director Myskkin is a noted Tamil Director of Thrillers. So being a Fan of Crime genre, I saw this movie with great expectation. So there is a killer of Women who gets off on hacking their heads. A blind Hero ( Pathetic Actor), a kidnapped Heroine ( Aditi looks pretty, but that's about it, acting was nothing great), A bad tempered Nithya Menon as a quadriplegic Cop who assists the hero and irritating sidekicks. The cops were reduced to incompetent people in the movie. The villain's reason for killing the victims was not very convincing. Wasted my time watching this movie. Myskkin needs to tighten his script sense before making his next venture.

The place where the psycho killer choose to kill people and his dressing everything is copied from HOSTEL movie of Hollywood... and I wonder hero driving the car with nitya menon beside is stupid..coz she's unable to move her legs but not hands she can drive instead of hero..only psycho's acting is worth watching..love story is trash

Myskin's Psycho has an interesting plot where a blind protagonist is on an investigative mission to find his kidnapped girl friend. The movie is predictable at times and is not as thrilling like his previous films. Stellar performance from the cast and it is technically a brilliant film.

Director Mysskin's tribute to Hitchock has all the signature elements that one associate with the director,may it be eccentric characters,blood-shed,gore,metaphoric innuendos and haunting music!

Based on the buddhist story of Angulimala,this psychological thriller, eventhough follows the cut and dried pattern of run of the mill serial killer films for a meaty portion of the narrative,has tried to go deeper into the psychological aspect present,the result being a satisfying thriller that's worth a watch for its decent first half,good second half and a refreshing climax.

Udayanidhi Stalin,Atidi Rao Hydari and Nithya Menon were adequate in their respective roles,but the big surprise was debutante Rajkumar Pitchumani who played the dreaded Psychopath convincingly on the screen.

Ilaiyaraja's background score and songs were terrifiic.

Unlike earlier Mysskin films ,the flaws and loopholes owing to cinematic liberties were aplenty and could have been checked for improving the overall impact of the narrative.

Overall,Psycho,despite its shortcomings, is a signature Mysskin film that's worth a try from the big screens! 3/5 #Afsaltouchriver (7/2020)

Different genre for Indian audience, but not fulfilled the title and the plot. No logic, no story just psychic isn't enough for the story. Camera, music department and art department done their job well. Nothing more... Worst screenplay, characterisation and direction.

Psycho movie is a very engaging psychological thriller.. pure mysskin movie.. awsm background Score Raja sir's mesmarizing all..udhayanidhi acting next level NithyaMenen is perfect as the rude cop who helps the hero

Direction is in good hands. Director Mysskin has handled this film very well. All the actors have done something very different apart from their comfort zone. Especially, Nithya Menen. The Psycho of this film made our heartbeat go crazy by his brilliant performance. Good crime thriller with some cool shots. This should not stop in Kollywood. Yet, I felt music expecially for songs, is not very satisfying for me personally. In general, it's a good film and mixed emotions in it.

Don't watch this movie in theater at any cost !

No logic nothing , an embarrassing take on the thriller genre , this director should stop directing and hide in some forest as this movie is a shame on the art of filmmaking , garbage smells better than this film and it's actors , all of the people associated with this film should not show their face anywhere in any film for the next 100 years , complete waste of money and time , such flaws in stories should never be forgiven.

Never watch this movie in a theater !

Mysskin again proved himself with his best screenplay....no doubt best movie in Uday carrier... But not for family audience & children's...good movie but not myshkin's best...

Must watch without expectation then u wont get disappointed...songs and bgm are quite enjoyable...casting is not soo impressive even director made them unique compared to other serial killing movie..

Good music, Good lighting, Good sets, Good performance by all characters.

Worst screenplay and untolerable and inappropriate untimely dialogues. Script writer has done the maximum damage.

Unwanted or avoidable semi naked scenes which has no relevance to the movie script.

Overall you may watch the movie only if you have enough time to waste.

One of the different flim in Tamil cinema. All the adults can was the movie
