Thaanaa Serndha Koottam

The Overall story of the film is good. Like almost every tamil films, a slow movie with an actress for just some songs and boring scenes. The performance of Suriya, Ramya Krishnan and others are good. Its a fairly entertaining movie you can watch for the weekend.

This movie was a hit for Surya after very long time, editing of this movie could have been better, as sometimes you really get confused, whether you are in current or flashback. Comedy scenes were enjoyable too!

The story is not new or unique. It's the centuries old Robinhood story, retold in the eighties. I'm wondering about the motive of the director for showing this movie to happen in 1987. Perhaps the backlash he would have to face from politicians of the ruling parties. There are a lot of loop holes and inconsistencies in this movie. But we can't expect logic in the movie of a mass hero like Suriya. So forget about the loop holes. Suriya has acted perfectly well. This story doesn't require a heroine. So a heroine for heroine's sake. I've given 7 stars because this movie is an entertainer. If you want to pass 2 and odd hours without worrying about logic, plot, etc., this is your movie. This will definitely entertain you. One time watchable masala movie.

It's a remake alright. But that's probably the reason the movie falters. The remake has been "altered" to "suit" Tamil audience and hence slips into the boring category at times. The director is confused as to what direction he must be taking this movie in - movie with a message or a con-comedy movie. Unfortunately that weighs down the screenplay. The con scenes are well executed but the backstory and the message attempt fail to impress. Could have been much better has it been a con-comedy.

I enjoyed this movie, was the first Suriya movie I watched and thought he was pretty good, of course I watched this movie originally because of Ramya Krishnan.

It does have a nice little message, and it is fun to watch, which Ramya and Suriya were a big deal for the reason why. Seeing Ramya as Sivagami in Bahubali as the first movie, it was fun watching her turn into a sweet motherly type, she has huge acting range that is a shame she isn't globally known, almost a crime. Ramya's own range could be seen in this movie, due to her first scene she looked deadly as a cobra, then switched to a nervous mother type. Watch it aleast once.
