    THERIfic

    Vijay back with a bang Theri is fully a commercial movie which all kind of audience can enjoy.Apart from the normal storyline everything in the movie is refreshing.The visuals of every songs are amazing.The camera work by George is top notch.The screenplay is brilliant as the movie is a racy action packed movie.GvPrakash has gives us a super bgm & music all through out the movie Apart from all these technical aspects Vijay has given his carrer's best performance.Samantha & Amy has done a good job.Nainika is the biggest plus of the movie.Dir Mahendra is just killing in his debut movie as villain.Motta rajendran & Prabhu as supporting artist plays a clean role.

    How is Theri ? - Yes, It's THERI :)

    For me, This is one of the Top 3 best Vijay movies ever. Perfect Mass Entertainer with a good message. It's all about how good parenting can destroy the evil in the society. Ilayathalapathy Vijay's & Samantha's Best Performance till date <3 The Outstanding feature was its Cinematography/Visuals by George Williams - Class :D GVP's Songs/Music/BGM - Awesome work and Goosebumps along with Vijay's Extraordinary screen Presence :) It has all the elements to satisfy the fans and the neutral audience. I didn't get bored even for a nano second and it was worth every penny you spend. The Technical side of the movie was astounding and ATLEE proved he is Shankar's best assistant director. The Three getups of Vijay was really cool.The movie ends like THERI 2 is on the way. All the credit goes to the Director - Atlee, He waited 2 years for this film and he is one of the youngest director in India to work with a superstar in the second movie itself and to gross 100 crores which will happen very very soon. He has told before itself the story will be very simple with a fantastic racy screenplay, credits to Editor Anthony L Ruben for that. Overall it will be very satisfying for all the audience and won't disappoint anyone. SUPERB ENTERTAINER. One of the best Action/Thrillers in recent times. Totally Loved it <3 Rating - 4/5

    A Honest cop Revenge for his family!

    First of all hats off to director Atlee for this film! Such a cool story for who want entertainment. Here all present. Vijay's one of the another best acting movie after Thuppaki and Kaththi. But Theri beat all the previous records soon I hope with Theri! Nainika Baby emotions and body language superb and also strength for this film. And Mahendran sir have a Villain effect it's absolutely good and feel so bad. And Music is too good Except I love En Jeevan song, what a romantic mesmerizing voice. Thanks to Gv Prakash Kumar keep it up! Totally Theri a perfect mass cop with love, family, sentiment, Fight, comedy, Songs and it's absolutely totally Therrrrri! Keep it up Atlee once again for gave a good message to public.

    Preditable entertainer that is worth giving a try!!

    Two things are clearly evident from the film : 1. Atlee lacks originality 2. Vijay's screen presence can save any film.

    To start with the film is highly predictable and with an old beaten to death story the film still manages you show some care for the film due to the tight screenplay and Vijay's screen presence. Starting from the first Baasha like scene to the end each and every scene reminds you the scene from another film and Atlee seems to have raid on this factor.

    After doing some experimental film like Puli which turned out to be a disaster doing some commercial film is the safe bet for Vijay and lets let it go.

    Nainika and Vijay's chemistry as daughter and father being so adorable both ladies and kids may enjoy this film.

An uncut 15 classification was available.
