Kavin winning with his interesting script choices is lovely to see. This is a film that the OTT audiences will most likely lap up, given its minimalist premise utilized to decent effect. I won't say all the moving parts work, but how writer-director Sivabalan Muthukumar executes the dark+absurd humor elements warrants praise. Jen Martin's score is also wonderful, adding to the emotional side of the film (in an unexpected turn of events).
The survival thriller bits are fun, but the commentary on poverty, social strata, and abuse within the family, is explored to a deeper extent than expected. Redin Kingsley, whom I absolutely wanted to "DELETE" in Kanguva, frequently scores with his one-liners here. I suppose it's a matter of the filmmaker he finds himself working with. The other supporting performances are a mixed bag-some enjoyable, some not so much. "You're Next" and "Ready or Not" are obvious inspirations.

It was a good film, not bad but It could have been better. Kavin's acting was somewhat ok but not as expected. The family tree was difficult to connect with which made the film confusing. The movie was not having a strong story line yet it was a good 2hrs 19mins. Radha Ravi's cameo did not run for a long period of time but it had a huge impact in the film. Kingsley's acting is an all time blockbuster like we saw in Beast and doctor. The genre of the film is different than the films in today's date. Some scenes were boring and time waste. It is an average one time watch film. It is a good film but not a film that can run in the competition of diwali films. Overall out of 10, I would give this film 6.

The first 1/3 was really great . The next 2/3 was wasted due to poor storyline.
The movie supposed to be a fun/ comedy movie. Mixing it with sad past, and violence dont match the initial momentum.
There was a lot of shouting throughout the film. I would have appreciated a better plot line but it was just a little too weak.
There were some scenes where there was some really good cinematography and editing but since the overall movie wasn't satisfying, those few scenes got over shadowed in my opinion.
The lead, Kavin did a great job during those pivotal turning points in the movie but during the other scenes, it felt a little overdone.
Overall unsatisfying and long plot line but the acting and the small twists kept the movie a little interesting.

If it weren't for Redin, there was nothing to watch in this movie.
Sadly directors are not able to deliver content that holds audiences attention. Else you could have done comedy. Both "dark thrills" and "comedy" takes a back seat in this movie.
Fortunately Redin redeems it for us. His bits seem timed well and worked. But everything else was dull. The starting is so boring that I almost dozed off. The hero's acting skills appear very limited, and if he doesn't choose scripts wisely, it's going to be bummer for him and the film. This movie had some potential in the script, but lacklustre acting all round.

Really I saw the movie after mixed reviews, but seriously the movie is something new that we haven't seen in tamil cinema before. It's like some esperimental Hollywood movie that get a huge support there. But in tamil cinema we don't encourage such new attempts. Here we always enjoy some repeated contents and caste politic stereotype based movies. I don't know what to say about tamil audience.
As a emerging star in tamil cinema, Kavin's script selection shows how he is clear to do versatile and different roles in his movies. His performance is enough to prove that he is definitely a promising star in kollywood.
Bloody beggar is a new and fresh movie that we should watch with family and friends in holiday time, as it has humour, thrilling, sentiment factors.

Bloody begar boering movie too lag, worst screenplay, different story but screenplay, dailog & kavin over acting spoiled the story. Story like bit fantasy script. Boering climax & dark comedy portion too, Camera work is good, editing cutz, music also good. DI coloring enhance the whole movie, make-up work much better. Kavin over acting it makes too boering, sadly directors are not able to deliver content that holds audiences attention. The movie's 1st negative kavin over acting & 2nd one is direction, waste of time to watch. The movie was not having a strong story line. Overall out of 10, I would give this film 4.

Bloody Beggar is a refreshing watch for those who enjoy unpredictable storytelling with a mix of suspense and engaging twists. The film stands out by avoiding clichéd romance and unnecessary comedic distractions. The hero delivers an exceptional performance, carrying the weight of the story with his brilliant acting skills.
The supporting cast does justice to their roles, ensuring every character feels significant. The simple budget and story work well, proving that creativity trumps extravagance. The music, though unconventional, adds to the unique tone of the movie. Despite its simplicity, the film manages to keep the audience entertained with well-timed humor and compelling drama.
It's surprising to see mixed reviews for such a gripping film, but for viewers who appreciate a twist-filled, no-nonsense narrative, Bloody Beggar is definitely worth watching. Kavin excellent acting.

When a hopeless beggar is handed a chance to experience richness for a moment, he jumps on the chance without a second of thought. Life takes a turn and ends up interwining the chaos.
Director's love for characterisation is evident and plays a key role in advancing the movie at an exciting pace except for a few extremities. Oveall an entertaining watch with a story line which is predictable at second order.
Kavin has given us a brilliant performance with a variety, scoring equally with attitude and sympathy and the same time. Redin adds the cherry. Every other character can be described as "eccentric in their own way" and the casting was spot on. Director has a unique visual choreography while resemblance to the movie Doctor by Nelson is surfacing now and then.
One feedback would be the frequent and imprompt jump to and from the flashback. The jumpiness fails to evoke the symathy expected by the director. Maybe if the jumps are not so choppy but streamlined to a longer sequences, audience could have felt more compassion for the love interest of Kavin.

Begining with Kavin and Redin acting was actually superb. This kind of script which we want to see from kollywood different script . Anyways the storyline or screen play could have been more grippier But ask Me if it worst i wouldnt say it is worst. It is just a thrilling journey of Kavin .
Akshara also should be highlighted in this film. She had given the best with her screen play time, Other directors should consider her in their future movies.
Kavin script selection has always been a different jonour. Expecting more different kind of script from him as well in future . I think The Movie came out in wrong time with amaran all. It should have been released earlier or later for people to appreciate the Work.

"Bloody Beggar" is an underrated gem in Tamil cinema, a genre that's rarely explored. I initially watched it on OTT because I wasn't impressed by the poor trailer, which made me expect another disaster like "Nai Shekar." However, I was completely surprised by the screenplay and its clever twists. Though the film starts off slowly, I was drawn in by the lack of unnecessary romance, glamour, or songs-something that's all too common in mainstream cinema. I really appreciate how the director brought us a dark comedy infused with emotional depth.
The performances were fantastic, with not just Kavin and Redin, but the entire cast and crew doing an excellent job. If you're someone who's tired of the usual masala movies and wants to see something fresh with the same ingredients but a new flavor, this is a must-watch. I give it a solid 10 out of 10.
