Thandatti

The story is merely simple, the making of the film is also simple,, rustic, as it is, yet very interesting to follow. In fact, the rustic atmosphere and picturing of the people and surroundings make this work live and natural.

It's just that unfortunately, there are a number of tucked-in conflicts that aren't resolved until the end of the film, thus making the audience wonder: Really? Is that it? How come it's over? What about their problem with finding the earrings and the stealer? What about the people who eloped because of the advise of the dead Granny?.

But above all, the plot suspense is good, it really makes you curious. The director is good and successful in organizing and directing the players to follow the storyline, the jokes are "crazy" natural in the style of "Srimulat" or "Ludruk Suroboyoan" (Srimulat and Ludruk are traditional comedy show from Jawa and Surabaya, Indonesia).

Good for you, film-maker team ! Greeting from Indonesia.

What a movie, great story, saw with subtitles and it's a different story plot. Story revolves around a lady's life who has to see lot of struggle and post her death too family was only greedy. See the climax that's the last 5 mins. And you will understand what destiny could be for some.

Moreover the acting, dropback of a village and casting is amazing. If you like no nonsense serious story watch it once. A unique tale of love, life and family.

Family movie and can be watched by any age though little sensitive as funeral and dead body are part of the plot. Watch it and enjoy the saga of a love story.

Watched the movie without any expectations. The stellar acting by Pasupathy carried the movie to the next level. Add to that a clean performance by all other known actors and excellent performance by all the villagers and a fairly clean script and nice twist, you get a very nice feel good movie!

The light comedy spread throughout the movie makes light of many scenes. The movie is thoroughly enjoyable and I highly recommend it!

Seeing Pasupathy's acting once again reinforces my belief that Pasupathy is such an under rated and under utilized actor! He can make any situation human by his mere presence!

This movie is a very nice surprise!!!

This film made my cry for 2 hours, actually i dont every weep for love sentiments but this movie made me. It was really emotinally connecting and touching , and i am really heartfelt and so down after watching this movie. This is a multi genre movie, at first u wont get the feeling what i have said but at the end definitely. A surprise package at the end . Pasupathy and rohini omg they r god of acting, every scene is performed with concern. All others did their role to the best. The story was humourous at first heart felt at the end. U may feel a bit dragged at the start but surely u wont disappointed. Just watch this movie without any expectations. A special kudos to the director, an amazing writting. Brought my memoirs together. Please do watch it available in amazon prime.

Thandatti introduces a lot of interesting characters, and I found this to be the films strength. As a film, I believe it would've worked better as much much shorter, and as being more comic in tone, but nonetheless it does kind of work. However, in the climax, an utterly bizarre and illogical twist is revealed that ruins the whole film. People should realise that complexity and unpredictability doesn't necessarily make a film that good, and that sometimes simplicity is preferable.

The acting was a mixed bag, with a decent performance from the lead and the character playing Show Pandi. As for the story style, Thandatti lacks severely in subtlety and relies on loud music and countless flashbacks to convey information.

4/10.
