Gangers Movie Review – A Laugh Riot with a Twist of Mystery
“Gangers” is a full-on comedy entertainer featuring an ensemble cast including Sundar C, Vadivelu, Catherine Tresa, Vani Bhojan, Munishkanth, Bakhs, Hareesh Peradi, Mime Gopi, Arul Doss, and Santhana Bharathi, among others. Directed by Sundar C himself, this film invites viewers to set logic aside and simply enjoy the comedic chaos unfolding on screen.
The story kicks off with Sundar C arriving in a village as a Physical Education Teacher at a private school run by the shady Mime Gopi. He joins a faculty that includes Catherine Tresa, Bakhs, and Vichu. Soon, rumors begin to circulate about the mysterious disappearance of several girl students. In response, the police assign an undercover officer to the school, posing as a teacher, to investigate the situation.
As the story unfolds, Sundar C stumbles upon a series of illegal activities orchestrated by the school’s correspondent and his gang. What follows is a rollercoaster of comedy, confusion, and unexpected turns as he attempts to uncover the truth, leading to an action-packed and humorous climax.
As a director, Sundar C, working from a script by Venkat, keeps the laughs coming. While the film does borrow elements reminiscent of foreign films and Sundar C’s earlier works, it maintains its own charm thanks to a strong dose of humor. The first half may lag a bit, but the second half picks up with high energy and consistent laughs.
The movie also marks a notable return for Vadivelu. While it doesn’t fully recapture the magic of his comedic peak, his chemistry with Sundar C, Munishkanth, and Bakhs brings back about 70% of the vintage Vadivelu we all love — a promising sign of more to come.
Performances across the board are solid. Sundar C, Munishkanth, Bakhs, Mime Gopi, Hareesh Peradi, Madhusudhan and Arul Doss fit their roles well. Catherine Tresa’s performance leaves room for improvement, and unfortunately, Vani Bhojan isn’t given much scope to showcase her talent.
Venkat Raghavan’s screenplay and witty dialogues help keep the audience engaged. Sathya C’s music blends seamlessly with the narrative, while E. Krishnamoorthy’s cinematography and Pravin Antony’s editing give the film a polished finish.
Produced by Khushbu Sundar (Avni Cinemax Pvt. Ltd.) and A.C.S. Arunkumar (Benzz Media Pvt. Ltd.), Gangers is a light-hearted film that’s best enjoyed with family. If you’re in the mood for a laugh-filled outing, this one won’t disappoint.
Rating: 3.5/5
