Thuppakki

If you come to watch this film for Vijay or ARM or Harris or Santosh or Vidyut. The result is you will return home with an idea of Watching it again. I watched FDFS at 5:00 am in Velan theater in Nanganallur. I saw not only ardent fans but also families who came to watch this film with so much interest. Well you can see this only Vijay movies after Rajini.

Now what about this "Thuppakki"??? Is it fighting for terrorism? or Vijayism? or Patriotism?. One word for ever thing is "Sacrifice". Yes this film tells how an army officer would be in border or with his family, he should not back step for sacrifice. He must be alert and cautious and he must work not only with his muscle but also mind.

The plot: Jagdish(Vijay) who is an Army officer returns home for a vacation to his family. But his family decides to make him get married. But he rejects Nisha(Kajal). Soon he discovers a bombing plot which makes assails whole Mumbai. Then rest of the story how he gets the leader and master mind behind this plot.

Vijay with his unique style of acting excels well in this role. He has stunning physique and active gestures makes fit to the role of Secret Agent. Whether its humor,action,sentiment he delivers with ease and no doubt its one of the best performance of Vijay as all rounder in recent times. Kajal looks mesmerizing with her eyes and dance moves. She is lovable. Satyan supports well the story and his final lines on end of the movie gives kudos to whole Indian Army. Vidyut the brain of sleeper cells made huge impact with his cunning plots and problem solving skills in making quick decisions. His martial background adds extra ARM's intelligent screen play and the execution was so brilliant. We can see as he so cautious in screen play after his box office debacle Ezham arivu. Harrish music is so peppy and everything shot well with Santhosh sivan's cinematography especially "GOOGLE GOOGLE" and "Kutti puli kootam". BG score is major plus point in this film and thanks to Harrish Jayaraj.

So over all this film is best of recent times and its sure winner of Deepavali. If you are a Vijay fan nor ARM fan nor any one, you will watch this film and enjoy with a salute to Indian army.

My over all rating for this film is 10/10

Thupakki, the much awaited Vijay-murugadoss combo hit the screens yesterday and luckily I got a ticket for a early morning special screening at a local multiplex. Right from the first frame, Vijay mesmerizes the audience with his sleek looks and awesome style. A big thumbs up to his costume designer who has done the job with utmost care.

The strength of the movie lies in the flawless screenplay and dialogues by murugadoss. The Cat and mouse game between the protagonist and villain has been scripted immaculately. Especially the scene before intermission and climax got electrifying response in the theater.

Vijay seems more mature on the screen and his scenes involving kajal and satyan cracks up the audience. Actions sequence seems more vivid and dynamic in Santhosh sivan's camera who has once again showed the world that he has not won the national awards for nothing. Harris Jayaraj has done a commendable job with his BGM score and it makes some scenes even more striking. Songs are good and murugadoss has taken a special care in choosing the locations for it. Especially Vennilave song's backdrop is mindblowing. Though Kajal agarwall didn't have a big role to play,she along with sathyan and Jayaram provide comic relief at regular intervals.

One more person who if not mention here would be unfair is editor Sreekar Prasad. He has chiseled the movie perfectly and the audience doesn't feel like a watching a movie that is almost 3hrs. Villain Vidyut Jamwal robust and does a laudable job. He has portrayed a character who is brainy and evil.

On the downside the romance track between Vijay and Kajal is Clichéd. Even though songs are good, the situations they appear are not relevant.

On the whole Thupakki is a racy entertainer that keeps you hooked till the end. It is one of the Vijay's best movie in the recent times. With Nanban already a hit and now along with thupakki 2012 is surely belongs to Ilayathalapathy.

Wow wow wow are the three words striking my mind after coming out of theater. you are well guaranteed with entertainment, patriotism and bits of romance. Satyan performed well . Jayaram as cameo done his part well

Kajal did well .

The positive notch in this film is camera by the great Santhosh Sivan . His angles and positioning were awesome. Especially an action block before interval .

The main reason for this movie is obviously AR MURUGADOSS. He again proved he is a good script writer . His pen worked hard in the simple story with many twists .

Vijay carries the story in his shoulders throughout the movie .He performed well . A new hair style and mannerisms worked well .

Positives:

Vijay Script and screenplay Camera Google Google Vidhyut

Negtaives:

Background score Wasting Jayaram

Thuppakki My Review : (This Is Definitely One Of The Best Movies Of 2012 And A Landmark Movie FOR Vijay After Ghilli And Pokkiri)

A completely refreshing movie for Vijay . Brilliant efforts from everyone especially AR Murugadoss, Vijay and Santhosh Sivan. good screen play and superb cinematography did all good to the film. CAST: Vijay : He has done a good job and is totally different from all his films. his expressions are really nice. and all his dialogues including the Hindi lines were greeted with whistles :) Kajal : She has a very little scope in the movie and just comes to create refreshment in the movie.. but she was as usual cute and hot :) Vidyut : he has done a fantastic job and he suited his role very well!! he was just awesome Satyan : he has done his job really well wherever he got chance.. timely dialogues was good and ,and everyone laugh. Jayaram : he was good .. but had little scope in this movie.. overall Cast rating will be : 8/10

Story: Story was nicely scripted ARM.. though it didn't go in a fast pace, the story was nicely taken towards the end..a i ll give story a 8.5/10

Direction and Cinematography: ARM has done a brilliant screenplay in this movie. He has taken the story in a interesting and a gripping way.. Santhosh Sivan was extraordinary with his cinematography and every scene was shown beautifully.. Overall i'll give them a 9/10

Music: The main drawback of the movie is the songs.. Songs were a big letdown expect Google Google.. many people went out during songs which were so boring.. The theme of thuppakki was very good and BGM in the climax was nice.. I ll give Harris 6/10 .

Overall the movie was a treat for Vijay fans who were treated with a refreshing story.. definitely ARM has given a new life for Vijay.. only if the songs were nice the film would have been much more nice. Hope vijay does much more films like this.. this is definitely one of the bes movies in 2012 and a landmark movie for Vijay after Ghilli and Pokiri

overall verdict of the movie will be 7.5/10
