Sundar C’s ‘Gangers’, with Sundar C and Vadivelu, is not much of a comedy but the heist portion isn’t bad

The first half of the story opens in a school, and follows an ultra-generic commercial film template. But the second half gets a little better. The rest of this review may contain spoilers.

Now that Sundar C is not just a filmmaker but also a leading man, his films have changed in tonality. In Gangers, he plays a PT Master named Saravanan, and the first half plays like Nammavar transformed into an ultra-generic commercial movie. The senior students do drugs. A girl is filmed while taking a bath. A little boy falls from a height and breaks his head, and it doesn’t look like an accident. And when a young girl goes missing, the teacher played by Catherine Tresa does all she can do to find her. And slowly, Saravanan begins to set things right. He gets three big action sequences. And what do we get? Lectures. Saravanan sees that the kids in school are all barefooted. He buys them shoes. He says, “If we take care of this generation today, they will take care of us tomorrow.”
