Thunivu

Back bone of the movie was well written story and racy screenplay . First half was totally intriguing right from the movie started . H. Vinoth delivered a good social message in sensible way Gibran songs and bgm were good , well contributed to the movie . Ajith Kumar presence and his character great . Opening action sequence and post interval action sequence were well choreographed .

Cons - Making was bit average . Technical wise cinematography was okayish and below average editing . Second half had few lags , especially flashback sequence were speed breaker . Climax was totally over the top and clumsy .

Verdict - Overall except few flaws , a well written commercial action thriller with good social message to watch .

( Hari kinda making were both positive and negative to the movie )

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.

Like it's protagonist & his team (aka family), even Thunivu's screenplay follows the KISS policy - Keep it simple, silly. The bank heist plan to steal 500cr goes haywire when another team led by the Devil himself take over the heist with eyes on far bigger amount and deeper motive. Who is this Devil and why is he involved in the heist forms rest of the story. With AK leading from the front, Thunivu has a solid first half getting everything right from his intro to using his swag to kickstart the story. There is a barely a dull moment here.

It is the second half which is over simplified with two back to back flashbacks where H. Vinoth let go of his inner Atlee. It brings a major tonal change and the attempt to bring in a strong yet emotional justification to the hero's actions turns out to be too desperate. It messes up the flow big time. Also the oversimplification of the issue highlighted here, makes the action that follow look silly. If only things could be resolved in such a simple manner.

The supporting cast gets badly sidelined in the second half and the prolonged action sequence in the climax doesn't help the proceedings. One cannot help wishing for a better second half as the current one simply doesn't do justice to the entertaining first half.

A gang enter into a bank for robbery but they get surprise already another guy came with plan... Police and officis try to catch the thieves and save the hostages... Meanwhile slowly reveals the protogonist's flashback behind the reason for robbery the bank... And finally criticize about bank frauds.. Good message but not soo strong... Overdo heroism and unwanted mass scenes.. One time watchable movie...

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..
