      A must watch for train lovers

      You've got almost 3 hours of train footage, from the pantry, passenger wagons to the conductor room.

      The film starts out brilliantly, but the second half is badly held together by its poor plot and Saroja's weak character - shame.

      But overall, the film has many humorous scenes and characters that will keep you entertained and hooked.

      This film is definitely a treat for all the train lovers out there!

      India's Unstoppable

      Fantastic Performance from Dhanush, Keerthi Suresh and from full crew and A massive CG work and Direction.

      Comedy + Romance + Thrill + Performance + Enjoyment = Thodari.

      A Good Family Entertainer.The first half was little bit long and few boring scenes , but the second half was massive and even the script belongs to 2nd half totally.

      The running time nearly 2 hrs 45 min is very big. If the Screenplay was tight the film would be much better. And back to performance it was very clean and full dedicated performance from total crew. For me the Character SAROJA was the best from Keerthi Suresh in her Career and Dhanush and Thambi Ramaiah screen presence was fantastic.

      Vedict : Watch D30 for Performance and Team work and once again for Dhanush.

      Where is the option for zero star

      Worst movie of Dhanush I have seen till date. Girl is dumb than dumber. If you don't know how to copy a movie than don't do that. You don't have original stories and you sucks at copying and after that you want to enter a lovestory in already worst movie. Totally unacceptable.

      Thodari (2016)

      The movie was worst. Nobody acted good in the movie. Nothing was good in the movie except Thambi Ramaiyya comedy scenes and Badava Gopi's comedy scenes in the movie. Songs and BGM were also worst in the movie. There is no logic in the movie.
      2shobanchittuprolu

      Thodari is one of the worst movies of all time. Dhanush's forgettable nightmarish film of his career.

      Thodari/Rail (2016): Prabhu Soloman is known for his natural love stories set in unusual situations and down-to-earth characters.His notable films Kumki,Kayal,Mynaa have got critical acclaim and success.For the first time Prabhu got a chance to direct a big star like Dhanush and he selected an unusual subject (which is a complete rip off of Unstoppable(2010)). How is Thodari??

      Plot: A cafeteria worker Poochiyapan (Dhanush) is serving the passengers of an ill-fated train traveling from Delhi to Chennai.In journey,he meets Saroja (Keerthy Suresh) a Malayali girl who is an assistant of popular actress.Then, there's the Central Minister Rangaraj (Radha Ravi) and his security guard Commando Nandhakumar (Harish Uthaman). But unfortunately,the driver of the train succumbs to a heart attack and at the same time, a bunch of miscreants enter the train with plans to loot the passengers.Thus the train becomes unstoppable without anyone to stop it.Did anyone stopped it??Is Poochiyappan's and Saroja love is successful??

      Plus Points:

      1)Dhansh: I think this is the most mediocre performance of Dhanush in his career but surprisingly his mediocre performance is the only saving grace of this movie.Karunakaran is decent with his performance even when he failed in comedy.

      Minus Points:

      Except Dhanush,Thodari is a complete disaster.It is a complete rip off of Unstoppable and Prabhu Solomon spoiled its thrill entirely with silly comedy and scenes.VFX and music are terrible.Keerthy Suresh and Thambi Ramayya are irritating at their best,

      SO,Thodari is one of the worst movies of all time. Dhanush's forgettable nightmarish film of his career.

      My rating 2.5/10
