Thammudu

I rarely walk out of a movie. But with Thammudu (2025), I didn't just walk-I fled.

From the opening frame, the film struggled to establish a coherent tone. What was marketed as an emotional action drama quickly unraveled into a mess of clichés, wafer-thin plotting, and painfully illogical writing. There was no emotional core to anchor the narrative, no character worth investing in, and absolutely no sense of momentum.

By the time the intermission rolled around, I felt like I had been duped. The so-called "emotional connect" between the protagonist and his sister was so poorly written, it felt more like a forced plot device than genuine sibling bonding. Dialogues felt artificial, scenes overstayed their welcome, and the few attempts at tension or drama were either unintentionally funny or just plain confusing.

The film tries to go big-grand visuals, loud score, dramatic pauses-but it's all style and no substance. Watching this was like sitting through a bloated prelude to a story that never started. It looks like the director made the movie using his own sanskrit quote - 'Anugachati Pravaha'

Frankly, they couldn't pay me enough to sit through the rest of it.

This script is poorly written, and I honestly wonder what convinced the producer to go with such a story. It feels like a disservice to the cinema industry and is quite disappointing overall. Quality storytelling is essential for our industry to thrive, and this kind of work undermines the efforts of talented filmmakers.

Nithiin is the hero of the movie, and he shouldn't accept such a weak script. Choosing this kind of project could seriously damage his career and reputation. Talented actors like him deserve roles that showcase their skills and contribute positively to their legacy. I hope he considers more meaningful scripts in the future to maintain his standing in the industry.

Such a bad movie. Gosh, I tolerate some crap but this was ultimately unbearable. Overacting, bad cast, exponentially bad graphics, can't express enough how disappointed I was. Can't even put finger on one thing that could lead me to say otherwise, the plot was all over the place, cast and storyline were not coordinated.

Don't waste time on this, I regret wasting my time on it.

I have been waiting to see this movie and added to my watchlist. Was so happy to know it was about to release on ott and have set a reminder for that But was extremely disappointed, Such a stupid plot, irrelevant scenes, prolonged senseless fights, a complete non sense movie.

Watching this movie on ott itself made me feel I wasted my 1 hour time as I was keep skipping all the fighting scenes and stupid dramatic scenes.

To start I should say that I am pretty disappointed and also disappointed that I am disappointed. Confusing? Well my title for this tells you. At first, watching trailer felt like they want to show something but ended up confused as hell. The dilemma of director can be clearly seen as he's confused whether he wanted to make a survival kind of a film or commercial film. This killed the real potential of the film. The story had a potential if the director had stopped pushing the side characters on the hero itself like these characters does nothing, just helpless which literally irritates you. This film goes way to absurd in the second half that you really question your choices over films. Honestly idk why directors want to show their heroes like they are invincible. I watched this film with very lower expectations but still capable to irritate me. I would watch meher ramesh films, why to create competitors to him. I mean he's already enough. If this film is shown with some raw and honest way, this film would've been nithin's best one. The screenplay, music every technicality failed. The only thing was the story had potential but it will be buried. If someone wants to watch films which are unintentionally funny, this is your film. No doubt in that especially villan scenes. Hopefully Nithin gets a comeback. This is my first review and my mind is not in a normal state after this abomination, so I need help. LOL.
