If you don't go with much expectations, you will be reasonably satisfied as an ajith fan. This film was far better than vivegam and valimai . The movie which started as a typical bank loot has a deep story into it. I personally liked the 2nd half . Loved the twists here and there. Other than some action and mass scenes of ajith in the first half, there was nothing more to it. Manju warrier reminded me of Tokyo in money heist. Cinematography and bgm could have been better. The bank shown in the movie is a big bank that looks like RBI head office. I have never seen such a big nationalised or private bank. So director should have chose a decent sized bank. I will give 7/10 for this film.

Positives: 1. AJITH: Ajith sir's screen presence and his body language really hold the movie until the end.

2. Engaging first half and the interval block: Movie started off well and the gripping nature in first half never made us feel that there is any lack in logic despite some illogical sequences.

3. All actors did justice to their roles. Special mentions: Samuthirakani, Mohana Sundaram, Manju Warrier and Mahanathi Shankar.

4. Subject chosen by the movie and the message: Various scams involved in banking and stock market (can't reveal much as it becomes spoiler) researched well and must be known by everyone. The message given by this movie has been delivered well and special kudos to H Vinoth for executing the same.

5. Comical tone of thala Ajith throughout the film: The serious subject has been dealt comically throughout the movie in order to reach the audience commercially and succeeded in the effort.

6. Some twists and turns: I don't want to spoil your experience. Watch it and find it yourself.

Negatives: 1. Some portions in second half: As the second half deals with the motive for engaging in heist, motive felt little unconnected in my opinion. But still it's just my opinion, maybe it would be good for others.

3. RIP logic and physics: As I said earlier in positive, first half didn't feel illogical because of the engaging tone even though some scenes are illogical. Even though second half has some entertaining and informative sequences , many scenes are illogical. We sense such illogical scenes, as cinematic liberty have been taken and the limits have been crossed especially in the climax sequence.

4. VFX and editing issues. But not hampering the the screenplay of the movie.

Overall, a decent watch which must be watched by everyone for its message.

My rating: 6.5/10.

I guess this is the first time we didn't see any notable theme for AK by Gibran in the movies he had worked with the star. Extremely disappointed with the BGM..

Yes, the stunts were fantabulous & cinematography was brilliant, but that alone not sufficient for entertainment.

Editing could have been better.. most hyped 360 degree shot was took few seconds to relaiseI, was kept in between the sequence..

Unwanted flashback. Especially Dharshan portion.

Still can't believe the fact that the same director who made this movie had taken Sathurangavettai, Theeran.

Overall the 1st is a visual treat for ak Fans

2nd Half could have been better..

Thunivu- Well crafted heist thriller with a rooted plot that shakes the public and provides deep insights into what exactly the bank does for common society.

Ajith owns the complete movie with his swag, dance moves, dialogue delivery and fights. He up-levels the plot to the next level, and masks somehow the immature editing and few silly scenes.

Vinoth as the director has chosen the right script and educates the audience with awareness.

He exposes the real truth tactfully with twists and turns. Wish the screenplay was bit tight with crisp editing in the second half.

Thunivu strikes the right cord otherwise!

A total treat for Ajith fans and neutral fans of commercial cinema.

AK has the charisma and swag nature of the character to a tee. Apart from a couple of choreo pieces in fights, most action scenes are just explosives, be it from guns or bigger guns.

Manju is a badass like AK , brought her coolness to the game. Comical characters sheds light on fraud journalism just as Vinoth goes on to unravel the dark side of banking. Sure certain moments of revealing "who's who" could have been served at a slower pace in the midst of the frantic heist tussle. A fun joy ride, mass cinema can be done right.
