Thuppakki kk shesham ithrem hype thonniya vere vijay Padam illa. But after initial mixed reviews ente expectations low ayi. So Padam kaanan poyath with zero expectations
Theatre- Aries Plex
Status-full
Review(might contain small spoilers)
First half - main positives ayi thonniyath both VJS and Vijay. VJS as the ruthless gangster/one punch man
oru rakshayamilla.. this man is on different level.
And Vijay also very good.. with a different swag and attitude as the drunken master..
Thudakkam story pacing kurach slow ayi thonni with both the character intros going more than 30 min..but till intermission oru vidham engaging ayrnnu.. .especially the interval block (highest point in the movie)..also no unwanted seperate comedy track and punch dialogues
First halfil ithiri kallukadi ayi thonniyath the placing of kutti story song ....what was the need for that???
Lokesh vicharichu kaanum nalla paattu ..Ith evide enkilum kuthi kettanamallo..
First half -4/5
Second half - first half endil I am waiting paranjit poya VJS pine oru 45 min no confrontation with Vijay..
THIS IS MY MAIN ISSUE with the film>>Vijay-VJS conflict not developed properly...padathinte USP athayrnnu.Ath correct ayi vannilla. Both characters
Nammal full hypeil irikum aaha ini anu hero-villain cat mouse game ..ini aanu story.....because angane anu first half end cheiunnath. Ennit no follow up on that.. ee 45 min mainly focuses on vijay-juvenile kids, Malavika romance plot...sherikum izhachil feel cheithu.
Due to this lag.. final Vijay-VJS meetup also oru impact undakiyilla.
Second half my rating -2/5
Avoid cheiamayrnu ennu thonniya karyangal:
Malavikas role & the whole romance sub plot
Andrea role
Truck chase
Kabbadi scene
Arjun das role (yes.. I also didn't like the twist)
First halfil oru intrigue undayrnnu.. second halfil full predictable ayi poyi..also chila samayam vijay full rakshakan mode feel cheithu
Final verdict -2.5/5 one time watchable.
Ithu oru 100% Lokesh movie ayrnuenki oru pakshe vere result akumayrnnu instead of 50 vijay 50 Lokesh.
Not a fan of vijay-atlee movies
So for me Pokiri>thuppakki>kathi>master>theri/mersal/bigil>sarkar
