Thandatti

The story is merely simple, the making of the film is also simple,, rustic, as it is, yet very interesting to follow. In fact, the rustic atmosphere and picturing of the people and surroundings make this work live and natural.

It's just that unfortunately, there are a number of tucked-in conflicts that aren't resolved until the end of the film, thus making the audience wonder: Really? Is that it? How come it's over? What about their problem with finding the earrings and the stealer? What about the people who eloped because of the advise of the dead Granny?.

But above all, the plot suspense is good, it really makes you curious. The director is good and successful in organizing and directing the players to follow the storyline, the jokes are "crazy" natural in the style of "Srimulat" or "Ludruk Suroboyoan" (Srimulat and Ludruk are traditional comedy show from Jawa and Surabaya, Indonesia).

Good for you, film-maker team ! Greeting from Indonesia.

Thandatti introduces a lot of interesting characters, and I found this to be the films strength. As a film, I believe it would've worked better as much much shorter, and as being more comic in tone, but nonetheless it does kind of work. However, in the climax, an utterly bizarre and illogical twist is revealed that ruins the whole film. People should realise that complexity and unpredictability doesn't necessarily make a film that good, and that sometimes simplicity is preferable.

The acting was a mixed bag, with a decent performance from the lead and the character playing Show Pandi. As for the story style, Thandatti lacks severely in subtlety and relies on loud music and countless flashbacks to convey information.

4/10.

Before I get into the review.. I watched the trailer, sometime back, and found it quite interesting..it also brought back memories of my grand mother wearing these.. but then I forgot about the movie until my mum said she was watching it.. so that made me look it up on OTT

Now, the movie's plot about a (pair of) thandatti missing from a dead woman's corpse, a cop getting involved in this and the development is perhaps a neat one-liner. I actually enjoyed the movie but somehow was not very convinced with the story telling. No offence to the the director / producer, applaud them for the subject, the story, the intricacies but definitely could have been a tighter, gripping presentation.

The cast did a fantastic job. Literally everyone. They delivered their roles to a T. Not just the main cast but the extras also. The music and background score was good but could be better.

End of the day, a good movie to watch (but would have stayed in memory if the treatment was better).

What a movie, great story, saw with subtitles and it's a different story plot. Story revolves around a lady's life who has to see lot of struggle and post her death too family was only greedy. See the climax that's the last 5 mins. And you will understand what destiny could be for some.

Moreover the acting, dropback of a village and casting is amazing. If you like no nonsense serious story watch it once. A unique tale of love, life and family.

Family movie and can be watched by any age though little sensitive as funeral and dead body are part of the plot. Watch it and enjoy the saga of a love story.
