Karthi's " Khaidi " Thriller Movie .

A prisoner on parole is on his way to meet his daughter. He is enlisted to protect a few cops. With gangster on their heels, can this prisoner save the day.

Khaidi begins with a superb setup. Bejoy (Narain) leads a team of cops to confiscating a record amount of cocaine, hidden in a secret cell under the commissioner's office. The drug mafia manages to put the officers under sedation by spiking their drinks. An injured Bejoy enlists Dilli (Karthi), a life-term prisoner who's out on parole to meet the daughter he has never seen to save the situation. A group of college students find themselves stranded at the commissioner's office with a line constable for company. 

Lokesh Kanagaraj director manages to give us a pure genre film minus the commercial frills so common for South Indian cinema. Despite the two hours of action scenes, one hardly feels exhausted, thanks to excellent action choreography by Anbariv. 

Rating: 3.5 / 5.
