Our Review of Balti
Balti is an action packed sports thriller set in the border town of Velampalayam between Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where Kabaddi reigns supreme. Shane Nigam stars as Udhayan, a fierce player caught in a web of love, betrayal, and gang rivalries alongside his brother-like friend Kumar, played by Shanthnu Bhagyaraj. The film explores themes of brotherhood turning into rivalry, justice, and revenge amid intense Kabaddi matches and street fights.
Directed by Unni Sivalingam, it features strong performances from the leads and supporting cast like K. Selvaraghavan and Preethi Asrani. The visuals and action sequences are gripping, with Sai Abhyankkar’s music adding energy. However, the plot feels predictable at times, and some emotional beats could be deeper. Overall, it’s an entertaining watch for fans of sports dramas with a thriller edge.
What Worked
- Shane Nigam’s energetic role as a kabaddi star feels authentic and engaging.
- Bilingual setup in Malayalam Tamil to reach more crowds, with real players in cast.

What Didn’t Work
- Pre release buzz is okay but might get lost in Onam rush with other films.
- As a debut directorial, some parts could feel raw if pacing slips.
- Limited star power outside Shane might not pull massive openings.
