Ilayathalapathy Vijay & A.R Muragadoss' Thuppakki

Watched Thuppakki yesterday evening in Chrompet Vetri... really liked it.. :) ARM fully used Vijay who can always be a safe bet for action movies.. Pre-interval sequence of sleeping cells ellAm pullarippu... :clap: ARM has the knack of telling a story by not letting the audience to think much (you could not find certain plots illogical).

Of course, the movie has its own share of drawbacks - ARM :hammer: padatha mudichuttu ory thabA audience'a pAkkurathillayA... felt the same thing even in Ghajini / 7AM arivu...epdiyA indha padathula unakku 4 Duet vekka manasu varuthu.. it is almost certain that you may forget what happened earlier after each duet.. songs onnu kooda naala illa (incl google in which the saranam is straight rip-off from aachi manorama's portion in Madrasa sutthi (May maadham). The movie would have been much much better had all the 4 duets been cut. To my surprisem HJ faired well in important sequences. Still, he was clueless in the title track (reminds KK title track). Other technical aspects like cinematography, editing, stunts ellam nallA irunchu...

Overall, a neat action entertainer from ARM-Vijay :thumbsup:

P.S: This is my 4th movie Chrompet Vetri. Earlier, I watched Endhiran, Naan E & Kalakalappu. So far, 4-0 for me as well as box office.

- ARM had shown a Vijay who appealed to all classes of audience. Tremendous work has gone behind in improving his costumes and physique. Special thanks to Komal, the costume designer for Vijay in Thuppakki

- Heroism was PERFECT. No over the top dialogues or fancy stunts. Jagdish enters the scenes whenever the audience wants him to. Special thanks to Kecha, who has done a great job with the action sequences.

- Whenever the villain is as good as the hero, we are in for a treat. An Antony for Baasha, Muthupandi for Saravana Velu and now this nameless for Jagdish. Vidyut has all the talents and looks for becoming a big star in the future.

- The screenplay was slick. Gone are the days when movies used to run for the face value of heroes. Now the stars' crowd pull only helps for the initial opening. The sustaining solely depends on the word I mentioned in the first line - screenplay. All the recent hits will prove my statement.

- It has been quite a while since there was a movie with army as the back drop. Thuppakki is not without flaws. But when you finish off the movie with a line - Dedicated to the Indian Army and their families - your sins are to be pardoned.

ARM has left all options wide open for Thuppakki II. No information on people who instruct Jagdish and bigger/higher leaders in the Terror N/W.
Its like how you feel after watching a movie such as Bourne Identify, completely satisfied for a first part, at the same time the movie had enough questions for pursuing sequels. It only looks like a natural extension for Thuppakki II to take shape.

Dhananjayan Govind: If one film #Thuppakki can rejunevate the industry & trade, imagine, how the industry will be if the 10 Big films of next year work at BO

Ilayathalapathy Vijay threw a success party to the whole 'Thuppakki' team and he and Chiyaan Vikram who attended the party seemed to have bonded well and shared some moments.

Just as Vijay did not miss to give a special invitation to Vidyut Jamwal neither did he miss to invite Chiyaan Vikram and it looked like Vikram and Vijay were very good friends.

Vijay took an opportunity through the party to thank the team after receiving good word of mouth, rave reviews from film critics and a tremendous response from the audience for his recent Diwali release movie 'Thuppakki'.

The whole team of Thuppakki, including director Murugadoss and producer Thanu joined the success party of the film.
