Thuppakki

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.

After a long time watched a movie with patriotic theme. Big applause to intelligent screenplay which is simply brilliant. Vijay is fantastic as Captain Jagdish. The subtle change in expressions and body language in camouflaging his working mind as per the situation is well portrayed. At the same time presenting himself as emotional family person as well as a cold-blooded ruthless interrogator is awesome.Cinematography is picturesque. However, role of heroine is limited to glamor factor. In fact few scenes involving her seemed forceful. Background score blends well with the situation. This is a must watch movie for entertaining and thrilling plot.

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.

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 .

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

High Energy Action Movie. Thuppakki is an action thriller movie revolving around a youngster from a Mumbai-based Tamil family and his decisions he takes after his life undergoes a sudden turn. Kajal Aggarwal has a meaty role in Thuppakki. Her role is not limited to be an arm-candy of Vijay in Thuppakki. Well, she will be seen in the role of a boxer in the film. She plays the role named Nisha, an iron-willed girl. However, the actress will also be seen in glamorous avatars. Jagadeesh is a carefree youngster whose life takes a jolting turn and he is faced with crucial decisions.Vijay's costumes are perfect.Well set trailer .

A riveting tale of an Army Captain who takes on the terrorists in his hometown when on a vacation, Thuppakki is sure to kindle the patriot in you.

But for the usual commercial elements like the opening song for the hero and unnecessary romantic sequences, the film is a gripping edge of the seat thriller.

The bane of Indian Cinema's screen play, the songs play spoilsport in this film too. The damage is more pronounced because the songs and the situations in which they appear are a let down. If only the director, AR Murugadoss had the galls to remove the useless romantic scenes and songs, the film would have got the distinction of being the best action film of the past 10-15 years in Tamil Cinema.

Still, the film is a treat to the average film goer in Tamil Nadu. The pre-interval sequence where the 12 hunters become the hunted stand out. Using his own sister as bait for the terror kingpin shows how much dedicated and confident the lead character is. The climax, many have observed, is not as good as the other parts of the film - but for me it was as good as any and Vijay's acting in that scene. Just wow!! This man knows how to act manly alright.

Vijay's best action film till date excepting Gilli and that is because the romance part is a sore thumb for the film.
