Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru

After a long time, A VERY SATISFYING action thriller. Director H. Vinoth (of Sathuranga Vettai fame) has presented a well made action movie which ticks almost all the right boxes of the genre with minimal compromises.

The movie, which is based on true incidents, recounts an episode in the life of a tough cop from Tamil Nadu who sets out with his team to capture a dreaded gang of thugs that was involved in multiple gruesome, armed robberies and murders in Tamil Nadu as well as other states.

Karthi fits the role of the daring cop and breathes life into the character in every frame. Abhimanyu Singh and his gang are utterly convincing as the brutally intense baddies.

The pulsating score by Ghibran, cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan, nifty editing by Shivanandeeswaran and well executed action sequences choreographed by Dhilip Subbarayan elevate the impact of the proceedings.

Director Vinoth deserves praise for his skillful combination of commercial elements with detailed research, stunning action set pieces and for shunning the regular trappings of super hero machismo and melodrama.

While the movie has its fair share of blemishes including its run-time resulting in some drag and some logical pole vaulting, for the most parts, it remains a riveting watch. I hope more such chapters are added to this cop story which has the potential to evolve into a franchise.

I don't remember when I last saw a fast paced action thriller like this in Tamil. We are thoroughly absorbed in this movie that interval alone indicates that we are at the halfway mark. The only minus point in this movie is the romantic segment, which I personally feel as unnecessary for an action movie like this. So I reduce one star for that. The theme of this movie so unique and original. It's a ghost haunting from the past. The director had cleverly linked the past history to the present fiction. Even though Karthi is a super actor, super heroism, like flying in the air, hitting ten persons in one hit, etc. are minimal in this movie. This is an important plus point in this movie, because it makes you believe that you are actually watching a true story rather than a fiction. Acting by Karthi is excellent, doing his part perfectly without overdoing it. Many scenes in this movie, make you a participant in the ongoing action,than a mere spectator. A real gem among Tamil action movies.

Great Attempt and succeeded as inspired by True Events Kudos to Director H. Vinoth . Director worked hard to create such a nice movie, his research and background work are amazing also he created a new style Tamil movie. The effort taken for the night action scenes in Rajasthan has to be appreciated with a special note. This movie is violent at first but then gets very interesting. I wouldn't request taking any child below the age of 10 . This is not one of the other police movies with full masala mix. Good work and it is impressive

I can't remember the last time I was so engrossed in watching a Tamil film!The events leading to catching the criminals are taken so well and keeps you on the edge the whole time. The movie is taken from the police point of view and is refreshingly good! They could've done away with the romance which I felt was unnecessary. Overall,Great movie!!!

The next level of Tamil cinema is here. Very few Tamil movies are comparable to 'Theeran Adhikaaram Ondru' as it takes a powerful and distinct cinematic effect. Its a high quality movie work done with great dedication and it is evident from the impression it creates on every viewer who exits the theater after the show. An excellent screenplay mixed with perfect cinematography, thrilling background score, casting, nice songs, hot stunts,alpha heroism etc improves the film and heightens the class and value of the film.

THEERAN ADHIGARAM ONDRU is indeed a sumptuous watch. Watch it from theaters only and kill piracy.
