Thunivu

I guess this is the first time we didn't see any notable theme for AK by Gibran in the movies he had worked with the star. Extremely disappointed with the BGM..

Yes, the stunts were fantabulous & cinematography was brilliant, but that alone not sufficient for entertainment.

Editing could have been better.. most hyped 360 degree shot was took few seconds to relaiseI, was kept in between the sequence..

Unwanted flashback. Especially Dharshan portion.

Still can't believe the fact that the same director who made this movie had taken Sathurangavettai, Theeran.

Overall the 1st is a visual treat for ak Fans

2nd Half could have been better..

Like it's protagonist & his team (aka family), even Thunivu's screenplay follows the KISS policy - Keep it simple, silly. The bank heist plan to steal 500cr goes haywire when another team led by the Devil himself take over the heist with eyes on far bigger amount and deeper motive. Who is this Devil and why is he involved in the heist forms rest of the story. With AK leading from the front, Thunivu has a solid first half getting everything right from his intro to using his swag to kickstart the story. There is a barely a dull moment here.

It is the second half which is over simplified with two back to back flashbacks where H. Vinoth let go of his inner Atlee. It brings a major tonal change and the attempt to bring in a strong yet emotional justification to the hero's actions turns out to be too desperate. It messes up the flow big time. Also the oversimplification of the issue highlighted here, makes the action that follow look silly. If only things could be resolved in such a simple manner.

The supporting cast gets badly sidelined in the second half and the prolonged action sequence in the climax doesn't help the proceedings. One cannot help wishing for a better second half as the current one simply doesn't do justice to the entertaining first half.

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..

SIXER 🔥

A total treat for Ajith fans and neutral fans of commercial cinema.

AK has the charisma and swag nature of the character to a tee. Apart from a couple of choreo pieces in fights, most action scenes are just explosives, be it from guns or bigger guns.

Manju is a badass like AK , brought her coolness to the game. Comical characters sheds light on fraud journalism just as Vinoth goes on to unravel the dark side of banking. Sure certain moments of revealing "who's who" could have been served at a slower pace in the midst of the frantic heist tussle. A fun joy ride, mass cinema can be done right.

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!
