Thoongavanam

Stylishly made. But apart from that nothing worked for me. The movie wanders between the dance floor, kitchen and toilet and it becomes boring after a while. I thought they would've worked on this and made a change to the Nuit Blanche script. But it is ditto. I didn't find the original impressive. Same goes for the remake as well..

Not surprising since I knew that you weren't impressed by Nuit Blanche in the first place.....
I wish not to talk much about the Thoongaavanam since it just got out..But I would like to say this..I liked Nuit Blanche a lot...Not just for the pulpy no nonsense action blocks...But also for making me empathise with the main character...That's usually a rarity in fast paced thrillers since there is absolutely no space left for the viewer to get himself in mentally. And to do that in as short as 100 minutes was commendable. So its actually good that Kamal's retained the essence of the original in my opinion. Its a concoction that worked for me...So why not....
