Vathikuchi (English:Matchstick) is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language thriller film written and directed by newcomer Kinslin and produced by A. R. Murugadoss in association with Fox Star Studios. The film featured Dileepan and Anjali in leading roles, while Jayaprakash, Sampath Raj and Jagan appear in other pivotal roles. The film, which has music composed by Ghibran, opened in March 2013 to a positive response from critics and performed well at the box office.
The film was first announced in January 2012, when it was revealed that Murugadoss's brother Dileepan "The Spark" would make his debut as an actor in a venture to be co-produced by Fox Star Studios. Murugadoss chose the film's title as reference to the song 'Vathikuchi Pathikadhuda...' from his first directorial venture Dheena.
After winning accolades for her performance as a chirpy young nurse in Engaeyum Eppothum, Anjali was signed up by producer A R Murugadoss for his second successive production. Impressed with M Ghibran's score in Vaagai Sooda Vaa, both Murugadoss and Kinslin decided to sign him on for the film.
The satellite rights of the film were sold to STAR Vijay.
Vathikuchi received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Vivek Ramz from in.com rated it 3 out of 5 and stated that Vathikuchi is more brawny than brainy. He added that Director Kinslin shows promise in his debut film with different treatment for this somewhat cliched story. His way of storytelling is realistic at times with very grounded level approach towards a common man issue. The problem with the film is that he has introduced too many characters and made few simple situations more complex which works at times and at other times backfired. Finally concluding that it's not a bad film at all and can be watched once! Tikkview.com gives 3/5 for Vathikuchi. and their review says that "Usual story line.We may seen this story in many movies.But narration style is really good." Indiaglitz says "Economic ride jarred by minor speedbrakers, yet reaches the destination on time!". Behindwood remained neutral with 2.5/5 saying "Vathikuchi has equal moments that will interest you as well as make you restless in your seat"
