    Decent Entertainer

    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.

    Well crafted heist thriller with a good social message

    Thunivu- Well crafted heist thriller with a rooted plot that shakes the public and provides deep insights into what exactly the bank does for common society.

    Ajith owns the complete movie with his swag, dance moves, dialogue delivery and fights. He up-levels the plot to the next level, and masks somehow the immature editing and few silly scenes.

    Vinoth as the director has chosen the right script and educates the audience with awareness.

    He exposes the real truth tactfully with twists and turns. Wish the screenplay was bit tight with crisp editing in the second half.

    Thunivu strikes the right cord otherwise!

    AK's Swag

    Perfect Content Action Packed.. #HVinoth Made his Mass writting with Many Great Dialogues to People... #AK's one of the best performance #Gibran's music is good

    Its an all in all AK madness. His swag, his way of firing with the guns, his evil calculative smile , his anger, AK was being untied and gave the complete freedom by the director to do what he wants. That was the feeling post watching his performance.

    1st half as director claimed its for Thala fan, I will say that its for all those who love mass & 1st half was awesome.

    2nd half it was a mixture. As H. Vinoth in his Galatta Plus interview stated that he stress on giving information on a specific subject through his interview & that what we could see in 2nd half. The financial scams, the bank issues etc blended with the cinematic ingredients, movie throws out to be a watchable flick.

    Overall Thunivu is a mass entertainer backed by a relevant message..

    Mastered commercial knowledge but failed in physics

    Positives: 1. AJITH: Ajith sir's screen presence and his body language really hold the movie until the end.

    2. Engaging first half and the interval block: Movie started off well and the gripping nature in first half never made us feel that there is any lack in logic despite some illogical sequences.

    3. All actors did justice to their roles. Special mentions: Samuthirakani, Mohana Sundaram, Manju Warrier and Mahanathi Shankar.

    4. Subject chosen by the movie and the message: Various scams involved in banking and stock market (can't reveal much as it becomes spoiler) researched well and must be known by everyone. The message given by this movie has been delivered well and special kudos to H Vinoth for executing the same.

    5. Comical tone of thala Ajith throughout the film: The serious subject has been dealt comically throughout the movie in order to reach the audience commercially and succeeded in the effort.

    6. Some twists and turns: I don't want to spoil your experience. Watch it and find it yourself.

    Negatives: 1. Some portions in second half: As the second half deals with the motive for engaging in heist, motive felt little unconnected in my opinion. But still it's just my opinion, maybe it would be good for others.

    3. RIP logic and physics: As I said earlier in positive, first half didn't feel illogical because of the engaging tone even though some scenes are illogical. Even though second half has some entertaining and informative sequences , many scenes are illogical. We sense such illogical scenes, as cinematic liberty have been taken and the limits have been crossed especially in the climax sequence.

    4. VFX and editing issues. But not hampering the the screenplay of the movie.

    Overall, a decent watch which must be watched by everyone for its message.

    My rating: 6.5/10.

    Good message but not strong..!

    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...
