Thani Oruvan

I was Dumbstruck when I saw this movie at theater. M.Raja has indeed grown a long way from being a 'remake' director to his 'own make' director. The base script is usual one - good vs bad. But the way it has been scripted especially the bad part, deserves standing ovation!

PROS:

Aravind Samy - dashing stylish villain is everyones favorite and he doesn't disappoint you ! This villain is very unique! He didn't lay his hand on the protagonist at all! not even for a single shot. He carried the bad role in a subtle but powerful manner! You will surely fall in love with this character!

Thambi Ramayyah - humour is different from comedy and he is the trump card in this movie who keeps on giving us some enjoyable part with his innocence.

Jayam Ravi - He worked very hard for this movie! It is evident from the word go itself. This is a tailor made role for him and he did exceed the expectations.

Atlast, Raja - scripting a detailed cop thriller with pacey screenplay is very difficult and he succeeds very much here!

Very good movie after Thuppaki which should be watched in theaters purely for its excellence in story telling!

This is a smartly made movie though not a genius film!

Kudos to the whole team! Very happy to watch a very good thriller.

This would be my first ever reviews/ comments in IMDb, though am a regular user I found this time for this movie I should give some reviews here.

Totally fantastic picturization and a very strong script. Enjoyed the flow how the director taken us from the beginning till the end. A huge break for all the cast and crew of this movie. Mohan Raja proved the best of his talent and Music/ BGM by Hiphop Tamilzha Aadhi is awesome too.

Best movie scene... - When child Sidharth Abhimanyu speaking of the deal for his father to take the blame from Naser. - When Sidharth Abhimanyu got shot by his lover and lying on lap of Jayam Ravi with the last dialog was simply superb.

Worth of every penny!

Just An Brilliant Movie Best Movie In Thriller Jayam Ravi Awesome Arvind Swamy Was Mind Blowing.... Just Watch It Guys !

As we all witnessed during the past 10 days or so, 'Thani Oruvan' got rave reviews and has been accepted by the film industry and audience as a benchmark movie. There is a transition happening in the Indian movie industry; that is driven by the audience. Today movie goers are well aware of the worldly events. The life-cycle of audience taste is short, meaning audience preference is undergoing change at a higher rate than ever before. The typical romance movie is no longer going to pull the audience. It had been already exploited by the uncountable number of movies in all the possible formats. So what is next? That is called 'Thani Oruvan' way! - A strong theme, embedded with authentic data & logic.

How it all started? Way back in 2013, director Mr. Mohan Raja met with a group of consultants from Fhyzics Business Consultants Pvt. Ltd., specializes in business consulting and business analysis (An EEP of International Institute of Business Analysis, Canada and REP of International Requirements Engineering Board, Germany). By that time, Mr. Raja was thinking about the story for at least 3 years. The one question he asked the group of consultants was "I want to make the movie authentic and different, how you could contribute?" Fhyzics was also looking for opportunities to explore the movie industry. Subsequently, Fhyzics team met the director few times and demonstrated how they can make it different. It clicked, and Fhyzics got its maiden movie project.

The assignment given to Fhyzics team is data and logic research for the movie project. The team researched the IPS training, minute-by- minute daily routines of IPS probationers and officers, costumes, usage of words & terminologies, technologies, background, analysis methods etc. The team also did intensive research on crimes both at national and international level from 1990 onwards to till-date. Organized the crimes under different heads and drawn the linkages. Prepared crime charts, time-to-time emotional graphs, hero vs. villain rise & fall maps etc. Even Fhyzics created a PPT that was presented to the producers by Mr. Raja to give them a holistic view of the movie. Massive amount of data and information were collected, organized in SharePoint (a Microsoft technology), then distilled and presented on weekly basis to the director for the entire duration of the movie making and it has been judiciously consumed in the movie without affecting the entertainment element of it. At Fhyzics, we profoundly thank Mr. Raja for the opportunity and helping us in launching our services in the movie industry with this landmark movie, 'Thani Oruvan'.

Excellent movie. Enjoyed the thriller and saw a very good tamil film after a long time...Great acting by Arvind and Ravi...Credit should be given to director Raja..Good concept and well narrated with no deviation..Raja should continue to do straight films, even if it takes a year.

Talking of music, just loved "kaadhal cricket" song and the awesome voice of the singer. The last song was also good and peppy. Hope this will change the attitude of most of the tamil directors, as long as the story is good and well narrated, it will be a big hit. This also proves, a movie with unrealistic scenes and characters can be successful and in fact hugely successful movie. Big kudos to the entire Thani Oruvan team. All the best..
