Thittam Irandu

It started off as a romance drama (in a different way) then turned into a decent murder mystery, and then went full-blown whodunnit with twists and turns that was trying too hard after a point, and then turned into something totally different, and then I was like "Oooh! Inteesting. I see where this is going...OH! Wait, WHAT!? NO WAY! I did NOT see that coming! :O Long story short, I think this was a bold movie to come out of India, especially out of the Tamil Film industry. Props, where deserved!

I don't want to reveal much, but you need to watch this to make your own judgement. You're either gonna think there's a lot going on in the movie and dislike it, OR you're going be very pleasantly surprised with the message. You might have your own reservations on the HOW, but will welcome the WHAT that the movie is trying to convey.

Overall, I think the story did try too hard to throw you off (and...it worked...?) but I guess I'll give it a pass. Surely worth a watch!

I have mixed feelings about the movie.

On one hand the depiction, reasearch and convincing acting around gender identity crisis, social stigma and the related problems are spot on.

The detective part was kinda ok ( at times boring, but again ok).

But the movie lacks good editing and screenplay is hit and miss ( good and terrible sporadically).

The most glaring bit seems to be casting ! You don't grow height as part of treatment ! Also no matter what, the bone structure does not change ( facial hair - not as much as the lead here obviously, facial features, musculature etc. Are true)

Though it started with the normal murder investigation thriller, the climax portion that makes me amazed. They have taken an absolutely out of box story and make it correct way to reach and make connect for the audience. Actual story revloves around the three immense characters that written well in the beginning itself. A great effort and that too not went in vein, thats the victory here. Of course there are some logical flaws with timeline but it still gripping and fascinating. Do watch it without expectations, it will give you a different experience. Just wow.

Thittam Irandu (Plan2/B) is a film carrying social message disguised as a crime thriller. It is indeed a well crafted film.

It starts off with a crime and an investigation following it, spear headed by a cop, played by Aiswarya Rajesh. She did carry almost entire film on her shoulders, with grace devoid of usual shortcomings in female led films- over dramatization, poor dialogues and a line on women empowerment. She never looked prettier than this.

Supporting cast including Gokul, Jeeva etc were good and it stood smoothly with the plot.

There are two parellel plot lines converging in the end, giving the viewers a surprise that is both expected and unexpected at the same time- though a social issue, the climax was indeed a total let down if viewed as a 'crime film'. Yet there is no better thrilling way to keep audience hooked enough to convey the social message.

As a hardcore fan of crime genre, this although has a surprise at the end, was quite a disappoinment for me. Personal opinion 6/10.

The movie starts by showing some crime scene. The movie clearly tells the relationship between two "friends" named "Athira and Surya". From the beginning of the movie Athira ( a police officer) came to know that her best friend"Surya" murdered brutally. Athira investigate to find the killer. But the movie comes with an "Unexpected Twist".. The movie tells us a "Great Message".

Overall" Nice Movie" and Must watch Movie".
