Outstanding movie. No unwanted scenes heroism songs etc. Wonderful narration. Kamals acting was so real. Perfect cast. Sure shot blockbuster. BGM theri... Movie was like a Hollywood movie with perfect cuts.

Thoongaavanam - Hindustan Times Review
http://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-...IF8PjNohI.html
Thoongaavanam
Director: Rajesh M Selva
Cast: Kamal Haasan, Prakash Raj, Trisha, Asha Sarath
Rating: 4/5
Thoongaavanam is an absolute slick crime adventure that has two marvellous stars, Kamal Haasan and Prakash Raj, pitted against each other in a cat-and-mouse game -- which unfolds mostly within the noisy smoke-filled, bathed in liquor environs of a nightclub. Can there be a better setting for a cocaine-deal gone awry with Haasan playing an undercover cop, Diwakar, out to trap fellow policemen who are hand-in-glove with the drug lord, Prakash Raj’s Vittal Rao -- desperate to lay his hands on a missing bag of drugs.
The bag is with Diwakar in a film that has been inspired by a French work, Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night), and he finds himself truly cornered when Rao kidnap’s the cop’s young school-going son. Give me the white powder and take your son back, Rao laughs over the telephone, Prakash Raj’s hallmark trait. Diwakar walks into the nightclub, brimming with young fun seekers, and in the noise and din of it all, he manages to lose the bag -- the key to his son’s freedom.
Kamal Haasan actioner Thoongaavanam to have just one song
Stalked by Rao inside the labyrinth of a club, as well as two other police officers -- one of them Mallika (played by Trisha, who seems too frail for the role of a tough cop) -- Diwakar sees the minutes tick up as he plans his moves during a sleepless night in what is virtually a forest of vice.
Mounted with marvellous finesse and edited with breathtaking pace, the movie in just over two hours keeps us mesmerised by its gun fights and kicking sprees which play out -- some of them inside the club’s kitchen, lending a wee bit to hilarity.
There is also a dash of emotion in all this mayhem. There are touching scenes between Diwakar and his son. You are the most important person in my life, Diwakar tells the boy. But you never told me that before, he looks half surprised, half happy.
This is certainly one of Haasan’s better films in recent months (the other being Papanasam), but, yes, Kamal needs to make a greater attempt to sink into a character, something he was adept at in his earlier days. I would say the same for Prakash Raj, but he is, of course, capable of surprising us with a performance like the one we saw in Mani Ratnam’s O Kadhal Kanmani -- where he was the caring husband of a woman, down with dementia.
A last word, Thoongaavanam is eminently watchable, even if that means keeping awake for a late night show.

Kamal Haasan’s Thoongaa Vanam is a faithful remake of French thriller, Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night). Those who have seen the original might feel little underwhelmed as Kamal didn’t add any extra elements in the remake. But for others, it would definitely give an edge of the seat ride with world class action sequences and no-nonsense execution!
Diwakar (Kamal Haasan) is a Narcotic Bureau officer, his only son is kidnapped by drug lord Vital Rao (Prakash Raj) from whom the former has stolen expensive cocaine load. Mean time, two cops—Mallika (Trisha) and Thiraviyam (Kishore) follows Diwakar to unleash his dark side. What happens next? Watch on the big screen to know…
Debut director Rajesh M Selva takes his own time in establishing his characters but once all of them enter into the Insomnia pub (where the whole story takes place), things start moving like a tracer bullet and the tension settles down only during the climax. Though Kamal’s idea of remaking a classy thriller for Tamil audiences is laudable, one has to wait and see how our people are going to embrace the film.
Kamal Haasan has once again proved his inimitable acting prowess with a wide range of expressions. The high octane kitchen stunt between, Kamal and Trisha is mind-boggling, kudos to both the actors for clinching the authentic action sequence in style. It’s a completely different role for Trisha and the actress has pulled it off with great élan.
The other actors including Prakash Raj as the vehement drug lord and Kishore as the double-dealing police officer have given wonderful performances. The surprisingly enjoyable addition is actor Sams, his conversation with Kamal brings the roof down!
Thoongaa Vanam’s big strengths are its music composer Ghibran and cinematographer Sanu Varghese, together they have taken the film to a different level, not to forget the simon-pure sound design by Kunal Rajan.
Ghibran has given enough space for silence and at the same time, his glitch music elevates the anxiety. Similarly, Sanu Varghese’s angles at the narrow halls and pub with minimal lighting deserve applause.
Overall, Thoongaa Vanam is a classy thriller, which will definitely satisfy its target audiences!
Verdict: Good
For those who have seen the movie......
Does Kamal not get cut on the right side of his stomach in the earlier sequence? I thought when he treats himself in front of the mirror the cut is shown on his right side. But then throughout the movie it is shown in his left side.

"Kamal Haasan, realizing the lack of space for star-showboating in this pressure-steamer premise, comes up with a brilliantly restrained performance as the man on the verge of insanity. The way he professes his love for his son over the phone contributes so much to the tone of the film, that you could call it 'The' defining moment. And the writing, all through, makes sure that he subsequently places himself in situations that constantly test his grit and resourcefulness. That way, the audience is constantly kept on the hook. "

"...What to do: Watch the film for Kamal Haasan and because it's an action thriller that's much more Hollywood than Kollywood. It's a cracker this Diwali..."

THOONGAVANAM - Review (https://tamilglitz.in/thoongaavanam-movie-review/)
Rapid action, What did actually happen? is the one line of Thoongavanam movie.
Instead being a regular good honest dutiful police officer Kamal prefers to be a very good of the bad kind with “where there is money there is a will” principle.
He conceals drugs worth huge amount in greed of money. In the middle of all this Kamal’s beloved son is being kidnapped. Why was his son kidnapped? Who kidnapped? Why did they kidnap? Did his son was rescued or not? The answer to all these questions takes us to the climax.
The last two movies after Vishwaroopam being a family drama this one of Kamal is an entirely different plot. Kamal has given a blast and threatened all of us with his reincarnation as an action hero. Trisha has acted as a police officer for the first time and her character in this movie will be spoken for sure. Prakash Raj draws the centre of attraction with his acting and witty counters in the movie. He has completely ruled over Kamal and Trisha. Aasha Sarath who was the big shot of Papanasam disappoints us with a small character.
The movie has enough guts to have only one song which being not a duet shows the next level of Tamil film Industry. Background is a thunder roar. The movie got the speed of a night flying away. One will never expect the first half to be completed so soon while the second half is a bit slow which is actually apt and necessary for the story.
It may be a remake but its a Kamal movie and Thoongavanam is not an exception.
After Aalavandhan this is the first Kamal’s movie to be released on Diwali. The ever stylish Kamal is back again with his action. Thoongavanam is a must watch for all the Kamal fans out there. A blast from Ulaganayagan.
Positive :
Kamal Hassan
Massive Gibran BGM
Racy screenplay
Negative :
Over Drama
Verdict : Kamal’s Car In a Highway with No SpeedBreakers
Rating : 3.5/5
