Guess kerala mega stars might soon request not to screen anymore thalaivar films in kerala :lol:

It's people like Mammooty who would start revolting such requests. I think they've done in the past when some tamil biggie did huge business over their mallu biggie. Can't remember the name.

A four crore for 'Thuppaki'
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 15, 2012] Comments

Ilayadhalapathi 'Vijay's latest Tamil film 'Thuppaki' is becoming an eye opener for the trade analysts of the state with its surprise initials. The movie which was released in 126 centres across the state is said to accumulate around four crores with its 2-day run, the best ever for a Tamil film in Kerala. The movie started screening in the wee hours of the release day. Special shows kickstarted by 4 am in the capital city while a release centre at Palakkad started it at 5 am. Many of the centres witnessed lathicharges before the ticket counters and were forced to go for a fifth show on the first day which resulted in almost 600 shows in a single day- a record number of screenings for any film in the state. This will make merry for its distributor Thammens who had bagged around 2 crores in two days as distributor share, making it another easy earner for them.

Meanwhile , Actor Vijay is all set to visit the state by the 19th of the month, to see the fans who has given a instant thumps up for his movie. The actor will be visiting the theatres at Calicut this time, where the movie is being screened in three different centres.

Interestingly it was the BigM's Malayalam films that thoroughly lost to the Vijay starrer. In much of the cities Mamootty's 'Jawan of Vellimala' was forced out of theatres while 'lal's Run baby Run' has almost stopped screening in much of the centres.

Watched the movie in cineworld london. Theatre occupancy about 90% on weekday. Went with a northie friend who actually didnt need the help of subtitles unlike me.

Had the songs been avoided and love track omitted this movie would have been on par with hollywood movies. Had lots of interesting twists throughout. Other than the last song nothing else really seemed to dampen the speed of the movie. Racy screenplay. This movie is definitely better than pokkiri just for the intelligent content alone.

Vijay. When did he become such a hottie? I was jolling all over the place. vidyut is equally hot. I liked the fact that how the villain mostly outsmarted the hero, except in the climax. The climax was crispt, kinda blunt but to the point. Overall thuppakki definitelys got repeat value. Well done murgadoss. Id gladly watch a part2 without kajal and harris.

[Shanker]

Watched Thuppakki a couple of days ago in Singapore, Golden Mile. Cinema was half full even at 12.30pm on a weekday. The film was technically brilliant and so were the cast, especially Vijay. His screen presence was phenomenal. When ARM said in an interview he had extracted the best out of Vijay, I was sceptical but his movie has proven it. Vijay owned the role of Jagadish. The story itself is simple enough but it's the execution where this film really shines.

Kajal was OK, she was more like a heroine cum comedian and her role wasn't meaty enough unlike the roles in Ghajini and 7aam arivu. Nevertheless, she had done pretty well in comedy and song sequences. Sathyan and Jayaram also provide comic relief and they are adequate. Vidyut as the villian was excellent. His quiet, subtle performance was terrifying.

Santosh Sivan was brilliant through out, be it in a dhoby ghat or in a club. However, I felt that due to the script, he wasn't really given an opportunity to shine... unlike Raavanan. Sreekar Prasad did a fine job in the editing department. Though the length was quite long at 2hr 45mins, there wasn't a dull moment though the Vennilave song was put in abruptly and slowed down the movie a little. Last but not least, ARM. This man had an idea of a script, wrote it, made a screenplay and directed it to perfection, despite tiny flaws. Hats off to ARM. Special mention should be said about how he crafted Vijay's look in the film. Pure class with subtle mass.

Now to the negatives... The weakest link in the movie is HJ. The BGM is honestly fantastic but that's about it. Song are OK and were picturised quite nicely, especially Antartica and Google Google. The film also got a bit over the top in the climax, with a Ghilli-like sequence but it was bearable.

Overally, it's one great film. Easily both Vijay's and ARM's best to date. Going for my 2nd show tomorrow and dragging a Vijay-hater along with me. My favourite scenes in the movie would be the pre-interval sequence and Vijay's entry during the rescue mission. Goosebumps. And I am already seeing fans requesting ARM for a Thuppakki 2 in Twitter. I don't see why not but only if ARM and Santosh Sivan are part of it. HJ is expendable.

On a side note, I can see why Vijay requested for a different script from GVM. Yohan would be too similar to Thuppakki, only perhaps more James Bondish and less Sherlock Holmish. Waiting eagerly for Vijay-Vijay combination now.

Tupaki Reviews - Telugu Critics give thumbs up

http://www.moviecrow.com/News/1579/tupaki-reviews---telugu-critics-give-thumbs-up

[ajaybaskar]

Though the Kajal chapter was needless, I thought she had done a pretty neat job. I liked her reactions while she confronts Jayaram with Vijay in the former's house. To be fair, ARM couldn't have written that role with more details. It would've reduced the pace of the movie.

Vidyut was menacing. Credit to ARM for writing a role who is as brainy as the hero and outsmarts him in the cat and mouse game. Not many times does an antagonist gets such a meaty role. Two things I noted. His name was not at all revealed through out (Or was it?) and he meets the hero only in the climax. The movie was all about that meeting.

I liked the songs before its release. But I thought they were poorly picturised. Only Alaika Laika looked good on screen. It looked as if they had shot the other songs just for the sake of it. However, Harris made amends with his BGM. A pulsating score which complimented the jet speed screenplay. Last time I liked HJ's BGM was in PKMC.

Santhosh's camera work was commendable but it was nowhere near his earlier works with Mani. Also, the ARRI Alexa's greatness, which I witnessed last week in Skyfall, was missing. May be ARM's rather quick working style played its part. But still the cinematography stands tall. Especially, the scenes in the busy streets of Dharavi.

And one important man I would like to appreciate is Kecha. I didn't know anything about him before watching this movie. On googling, I found out that he was the stunt co ordinator of Billa 2 and Vishwaroopam. The actions blocks were nothing short of great and this should be the best for Vijay. No ropes used. No flying around. But the intensity was amazing.

I had reduced my expectations on this movie after ARM's last work. And ironically, he gave similar statements before the release. Vijay's best work, gripping screenplay, blah blah. And as Kumudham article pointed out, nothing had gone right from the start for Thuppakki. The GFC SAC dispute, the ARM -SAC dispute, title dispute, the postponement issues and many. And my hopes were getting reduced with each blocks. But at last it is here - The year's blockbuster, proving that there is always dawn after the dark.

[MrIndia]

Had a chance to watch the movie today.
Overall experience was great. Even with 6 songs the movie was pretty fast.
Camera and screen play played a big role. Vijay was amazing and more natural in the role. kajal was ok.
Clearly see lot of hardwork is put into the movie and it came out really well. Vj should act in these kinda movies hereafter.

Our Critic mind always find some faults or improvements in the movie. I felt two/three songs could have been cut and choreo/songs could have been better using Vjs Dance Talent. But again one of dialogues vijay said to his sister in car comes to my mind
"neenga haai-ya veetla utkaandu remote-la channel maathitu ippadi pannirukalaam apidi pannirundha nalla irundhukum solluveenga" :p

One of the best movies in recent times. Vj was more mature and i over-heard people appreciate his acting in this movie.. I never thought i will hear this :)

Hope this success helps vijay to make decisions for his future movies. varushathukku oru nanban(4 months) oru thuppaki(8 months).. pothunganna.. engaiyo poyiduveenga.
ARMurugadoss, Brilliant Job.

Adhellam odum, it actually earns more advertisement to the movie. But it is better to leave this terrorism theme itself. It just increases the biased vengeance over muslims among the common public who are unaware about the background of terrorism. Put them in your shoes you will understand

[otedoric]

'MrIndia' - Where did u watch and how abt the occupancy %

[ajaybaskar]

Sri,

In india, most of the incidents that happen are conducted by the terrorists of one particular community. There is a saying: Not all Muslims are terrorists. But all terrorists are Muslims. Yes. There were some incidents which involved other religion ppl too. But the lion's share goes to Muslim terrorists. But the portrayal of them should be in a more matured way. They have their own set of ideologies. Not many movies have captured that.

Thuppaki - Telugu review

http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-tupaki.html

Jeevi rating:3.25/5
Punchline: intelligent play
Genre: Action
Type: Dubbed (Thuppakki in Tamil)
Banner: SVR Media

Cast: Vijay, Kajal Agarwal, Satyan, Jayaram, Vidyut Jamwal etc

Music: Harris Jayraj
Cinematography: Santosh Sivan
Editing: A Sreekar Prasad
Story - screenplay direction: Murugadoss
Producer: Kalaipuli S Thanu
Release date: 13 November 2012
Theater watched: Screen 3, Cinemax Banjara Hills, Hyderabad


Story
Jagadish (Vijay) is a military man who comes to Mumbai on his one month vacation to spend time with his family. A simple search for a stolen purse in a city bus leads to a big terrorist plot. Jagadish realises that things will not be same if police involves in it. He takes the mission of averting bomb blasts in his own hands. He realises that only way to eradicate terrorism is to get to the boss of these sleeper cells and kill him. The rest of the story is all about how he achieves his goal.

Artists Performance
Vijay who is known as a mass hero seem to be putting efforts to get rid of the mass tag. His films Snehitudu (remake of 3 Idiots) and Tupaki are latest examples. His is suave and sophisticated in the role that need brains. He is excellent. Kajal Agarwal is cute just like the way she is in Mr. Perfect film. Jayaram played the role of Vijay’s boss. Satyan who did the ‘Balatkar’ role in Snehitudu has done the role of a cop. He is entertaining. Vidyut Jamwal is exceptionally good as the leader of sleeper cells unit.

Technical department
Story - screenplay - direction: The basic story is about the mind game between a terrorist and a secret agent. Murugadoss comes up with an interesting screenplay that makes you glued to the screen all the time. The interesting aspect in this film is that the hero and villain doesn’t physically meet each other till the climax. And they try to outsmart each other with cold-blooded thinking all the time. To make this film more universal, Murugadoss also added the family angle and romance thread. The romance aspect of the film is also good.

Other departments: Cinematography by Santosh Sivan is of top notch quality. Background music by Harris Jayaraj is good, but tunes for the songs should have been better. Dialogues are neat and editing is crisp. Action sequences' choreography is stylish. This film is made with slick production values.

Analysis
Tupaki is a stylish and slick entertainer. The director has stuck with the main theme and didn’t dilute it for the sake of masala. It is a subject that has pan-India appeal and it’s an intelligent game between two individuals who are working for and against the country. Murugadoss who disappointed us with 7th Sense strikes back with Tupaki. You may watch Tupaki.

Coming to the film,

Vijay's one of the finest and matured performance right from body language, attitude, style and dialogue delivery.. Full credits to ARM and Santhosh..
The Best movie/screenplay in recent times.. Best thing abt movie is though the duration is 2.45 mins, totally gripping, no dragging and boring sequence.. liked kajal and her screen presence is good too.. Jayaram and sathyan expressions were really good in all scenes..

Liked the picturisation of vennilave and antartica song.. Good that HJ used main theme as BGM thru'out the film..

Like ARM said, Military Full meal saapta satisafaction..

[ajaybaskar]

Exclusive interview with Firstpost, Murugadoss opens up :

Q. Congratulations on the initial reports on Thuppakki.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the opening and the feedback I’m getting about Thuppakki. All sections of the audience are loving it and WOM (word of mouth) is strong. Right from the time I wrote the story, I was sure it will work and with Vijay agreeing to do the film, I was even more confident that it will be a hit.

Q. You have an impressive track record with superstars. What is the secret of your success at the box-office?

First and foremost, I believe content is king in commercial cinema. Today’s audiences want something fresh and innovative in story and presentation. I got the story idea of Thuppakki from 9/11 and 26/11 Mumbai attack, which happened due to meticulous planning and the use of sleeper cells. I found that terrorism is an industry by itself, and sleeper cells are there in many parts of the world to coordinate terrorist strikes. After my story was ready, I looked for the commercial packaging, which is important if you have to reach the mass audiences.

Q. So, story, big star and essential commercial elements are the ingredients for a super hit?

Yes, definitely a big star has the pull. The fans of the star initially buy a ticket to watch him in action and if the content is good, the film becomes a hit. In the case of Thuppakki, Vijay has a huge fan base, which helped the film to garner an opening.

However, the most difficult thing is to get the correct commercial mix, or what we call mass elements, to sync with the story. In the case of Thuppakki, there was comedy, romance, action and songs. The best of technicians added finesse to the product. The villain played by Vidyut Jamwal was as cunning and smart as the hero, and in the end he loses out only because of his ego, which made it believable. The ‘Google Google’ song, composed by Harris Jayaraj and sung by our hero Vijay along with Andrea, has become a chartbuster. I believe in telling a story under three hours with a popular star. It has to be engaging, interesting and at the same time, entertaining.

Q. How did you manage to rope in internationally reputed cinematographer Santosh Sivan and national award winning editor Sreekar Prasad to be part of the film?

(Smiles). Yes, it is a coup of sorts to work with national award winners such as Santosh Sivan and Sreekar Prasad. To work with Mani Ratnam’s cameraman and Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s editor is a dream come true. They agreed to do the film after I narrated my story to them. Today, a commercial film has to look rich and technically chic in all aspects. Santosh sir and Nani sir (Sreekar Prasad) have done a great job. Santosh Sivan has shot the film using digital cameras and has shot in never seen before seen Mumbai locations, while Nani sir’s seamless editing with no jerks made a 2 hour 50 minutes film racy.

Q. What next?

I’m starting the Hindi remake of Thuppakki with Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra in December for producer Vipul Shah. The technicians and the rest of the star cast are being finalised.

Q.The best compliment you received so far?

The one and only superstar Rajinikanth called me up after watching Thuppakki and said it was brilliant and a well-made entertainer. During my school and college days, I was a crazy fan of his and still remember watching his films first day first show!

[ajaybaskar]

gurunath meiyappan ‏@gurunath75 (https://twitter.com/gurunath75)
Thupaki is a super duper hit. Congrats to Kalai Pulli Thanu and the entire team for making such a good film.

[aceqoxim]

Despite not loving the songs much, I absolutely loved the BGM. Athukagave harris manichu vidalam. Innonu, after a long time I didn't see Vijay on screen. I only saw Jagdish, this stylish, sherlockish, smart guy who flexes his brain more than his muscle. Like vj santosh shivans camera was subtle but stil had an electrifying presence. I loved the shot of Vj sitting by the beach before the kidnap scene and the frame fades out to him waking up along the sidewalk.

The mushy idiot in me loved vj's reaction and voice modulation when his sister asks him to get her a pair of jeans not knowing she is being used as a live bait. 'antha matterke unnai pudikalai' line had me in stitches, but also showed how much vj has humbled down or rather his charecterizations has humbled down. Thottale paranthu paranthu adikira vijayai parthu parthu this movie is such a welcome relief. A sentiment echoed by my friends who are neutrals.

like someone else said I can understand why vijay must have said no to yohan. He could have easily pulled of the westernized yohan with the ease he pulled of the stylish jagdish. He probably wanted to avoid similiarities in scripts, another thing that shows me his careless days of not giving two shit about story selections are over. Which is why I believe that al vijay or that whatshisname new director may have something good in store for us.

http://www.firstpost.com/bollywood/rajini-said-thuppakki-was-brilliant-director-ar-murugadoss-525968.html

Kollywood-Bollywood director AR Murugadoss is on cloud nine.
His Diwali Tamil release Thuppakki with Vijay has taken a gargantuan opening and is being hailed by both the masses and the critics. The trade has declared it a super hit.
On the opening day, Thuppakki netted an impressive Rs 9.25 crore from Tamil Nadu alone. Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, who had a special screening at home, called up Murugadoss after watching the film and congratulated him for a “fantastic job and a brilliant film”.

The Kollywood grapevine has it that when Aamir Khan was first introduced to Murugadoss for Ghajini, he mistook him for a schoolboy! But soon, Amir realised that behind that boyish charm was a steely determination and enthusiasm to get his work done. The man from a small town in Tamil Nadu, Kallakurichi near Salem, is today one of India’s most wanted directors among Bollywood and southern superstars. He will be starting his next film with Akshay Kumar shortly, the Hindi remake of Thuppakki.

A R Murugadoss.
Take a look at Murugadoss’s awesome strike rate. His debut film Dheena (2001) with popular Tamil star Ajith was a super hit. It was followed by Ramanna (2002) with Vijaykanth (now the opposition leader in Tamil Nadu assembly) another super hit. Then came Ghajini (2005) with Suriya, which was a blockbuster. Next was Aamir Khan’s Hindi remake of Ghajini (2007), which is considered to be the first Rs 100 crore-club film in Bollywood. He has also done a hit film in Telugu, Stalin (2006), with megastar Chiranjeevi.

The only exception was his last Diwali release with Suriya in Tamil, the Sci-Fi thriller 7aum Arivu (2011), which was an average grosser. Now, the big budget specialist has bounced back with Thuppakki, which trade analysts feel has blockbuster written all over it.

Thuppakki Movie Review by OVFC :
All that begins well, ends well says proverb. The year that had begun with "All is well" for Vijay fans, has ended extremely well this Diwali, thanks to Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Thuppakki directed by A.R.Murugadoss.
Ever since release of Nanban, Vijay fans were eagerly waiting for the release of Thuppaki. The prime reasons being:
> First time combination of Vijay and A.R.Murugadoss
> Straight action film from Vijay after long time
> Vijay's next after hatrick hits of Kavalan, Velayudham and Nanban
> A rare outing of Santosh Sivan apart from his usual Manirathnam's movies
The wait of 10 months and watching it on Diwali day has given the fans the pride of a mother seeing her new born child, of course we also waited for almost 10 months with patience and pain in heart. So it’s a scream for us.
When Vijay's movie is set for a Diwali release, the Diwali is not complete for Vijay fans till get catch it in theatres. If Thirumalai was an atom bomb, Sivakaasi was a saravedi and Velayudham was a 1000 wala, Thuppakki is more than a 10000 wala for his fans. The vibrations and excitement would take a long long time to settle down.
Sorry if this hurts the sentiments of Ghilli devotees, even I am one. But Thuppakki is clearly a film to celebrate and cherish above Ghilli, because it is an original work. (Remaking is not at all bad)Moreover, it has a never seen before Vijay rocking all over and it is his best performance in an action film. The film has been chiseled out by the experienced hands of many top technicians. While Ghilli had a few overdone scenes for the mass factor, Thuppakki exudes even more mass without such scenes. So clearly, Thuppakki holds a higher hand followed by Ghilli.
As every other fan, I have different most favourite movies of Vijay in different genres. For comedy it is Vaseegara, for romance it is Sachein and so on. Ghilli and Pokkiri were my favourites in action genre; Thuppakki has now easily taken over the top spot.
Is this an ARM film or a Vijay film?It is tough to say. It is a team effort of Vijay, ARM, Santhosh Sivan, Sreekar prasad and many other technicians. But putting a gun to my head, I would say it is an ARM film executed by Vijay. As he said, he is the bullet in Thuppakki and his presence is what makes the film work big time.
Murugadoss has worked very hard to make this a different action film. He has made a slick action thriller and at the same time stayed within the commercial boundaries to entertain all classes of people. He has also got the best out of not only Vijay but his whole team which is what makes the film brilliant.
Another major work of ARM involves placing the strongest villan against Vijay, not just physically but also in terms of intelligence. Vidyut Jamwal shines as the villan, without the way his character has been chiselled out, it would have been just an one way encounter and the film would have lost substance. His actions close on the heels of Vijay is what brings the thrill to watch.
The scenes which would give any good movie lover goose bumps are:
- The moment when dog barks and enters the place where the girls are kidnapped and kept, andthereafter entry of Vijay with a gunshot.
- The sleeper cell destruction scene when Vijay ends the game and orders for shoot
- The scene when Vijay asks Sathyan to take care of his family
- The climax scene when Vijay says. "Andha bayam irukanum da"
If ARM is the brain of Thuppakki, Santhosh Sivan is the eye. Be it racy action or sweet romance, indoor or outdoor, his camera work speaks for itself, no wonderit comes from a national award winner. Same has to be said about Sreekar Prasad, who has edited the film without even a single dull moment and never make you feel like watching a movie of about 165 mins. Art direction in Vijay's house settingsand songs is neatly done; the setsof Alaika Laika and Google Googleare real treat to watch. The whole technical team has done their best to ensure the success of the film.
Keecha is a new name for a Vijay movie, but his style and execution of the stunt choreography in Thuppakki is highly commendable. The whole body language of Vijay in fight sequences of the film is entirely different from his previous actionventures. Not only that, all fights are extremely believable, of course, barring some heroism which has to exist. More of a street fight of an army man with his opponents than a mass hero'sover the top stunts is what has worked very well for Thuppakki.
Vijay's chemistry with Kajal has worked out very well in Thuppakki, for me it is on the lines of Trisha and Asin, as she matches up with Vijay in comic timing, dance and their romantic scenes have come out really well. The voice over by Raginisri of Super Singer fame has worked out to her advantage. Vijay and Kajal make a beautiful portrait in Vennilave song which is a visual treat. I would be lovely to see them together sometime again in the future.
Whatever average work Harris does for other movies he works for, he has not failed to deliver for Vijay films both in Nanban and Thuppaki. While the audio was already a hit among fans with smashing songs, the bigger responsibility of rerecording work has been executed with near perfection by Harris. The theme song 'Jagdish on Mission' used by him in many places is a rage in the film. It perfectly suited the scenes wherever it was used. All action scene BGMs including the villain theme were too good. Not just that,the Nisha rap used for Kajal, Vennilave and Poi Varava BGMs placed aptly in many scenes were all samples of the good work done by Harris.
The emotions run high for everyone when it comes to nation and patriotic feelings. The scenes where Vijay explains about the army man from Pudukottai who was tortured and killed, when he explains to Sathyan why he is not worried about sacrificing his life and the Poi Varavaa song in end credits will really make your hearts go out to those Jawans guarding us day and night all through the year against all odds. No wonder when the "Dedicated to" caption is displayed, people applaud in theatres.
Vijay has lived the character this time, which is usual, but the major differentiation is his completely different style of acting and body language which he maintains throughout the film. Not only he has underplayed his mass hero image, but he has acted in such a way that you will feel the mass inside you rather than it explicitly showing onscreen through Vijay. It is not that he was not capable of it before, but as ARM said, he has extracted the best out of Vijay as much as he can. And it shows off clearly on screen.
To say more about Vijay, he has this extremely good physique for the role of army man in this film, quite natural one, sans unwanted six packs and beefing up. As always, he is best in the songs and comic timing. Kutti Puli kootam is a subtle opening song,very different from usual Vijay films. His stylist and costume designer needs special mention as he looks like a million bucks in all costumes. His Hindi and English dialogues are perfect and fans give a roaring response in theatres whenever he utters them.
If you want to be thrilled and entertained in this festival season, Thuppakki is the best choice. Even otherwise, if you respect good films and honour the sacrifices of Indian Army to the nation, you must watch Thuppakki. For Vijay fans, this is a movie that has to top the record number of times you have watched.
As every other Vijay fan, I would also love to see this combo of Vijay-ARM-Santh osh Sivan-Sreekar Prasad once again. Definitely, yes!. Let them bring on Thuppakki part-2 soon. We (Vijay fans) are waiting.

A R Murugadoss.
Take a look at Murugadoss’s awesome strike rate. His debut film Dheena (2001) with popular Tamil star Ajith was a super hit. It was followed by Ramanna (2002) with Vijaykanth (now the opposition leader in Tamil Nadu assembly) another super hit. Then came Ghajini (2005) with Suriya, which was a blockbuster. Next was Aamir Khan’s Hindi remake of Ghajini (2007), which is considered to be the first Rs 100 crore-club film in Bollywood. He has also done a hit film in Telugu, Stalin (2006), with megastar Chiranjeevi.

The only exception was his last Diwali release with Suriya in Tamil, the Sci-Fi thriller 7aum Arivu (2011), which was an average grosser. Now, the big budget specialist has bounced back with Thuppakki, which trade analysts feel has blockbuster written all over it.

Ramana was blockbuster and got better response than even Gajini (atleast in B & C). Varalaru mukkiyam :)

Thuppaki Movie Review in The Times of India

It is also good that filmmakers are dedicating movies to the army men(and also their families), but it would be even better if they move beyond tokenism, do their research properly and don't port...ray members of the armed forces as caricatures. Most Hollywood films hire military experts to get their act right, but obviously none was on board for this film. And so, there are bloopers galore, the best example being the interactions between Vijay and his senior, played by Jayaram. A little more attention to detail and a little research could have helped avoid such mistakes, which are jarring in a movie by such a senior director.

But if you are ready to ignore goofs like these and some gaps in logic, the movie is an enjoyable watch because of Vijay's powerhouse performance. The movie has already taken a stupendous opening, and is the next in his ever growing list of hits after 'Kaavalan', 'Velayutham' and 'Nanban'. He dances like a dream in song sequences (watch out for 'Google, Google') and packs quite a punch in action sequences. There is a quiet confidence in the way he delivers his dialogues and in the way he carries himself throughout the movie.
The other strong point of the movie is the screenplay by Murugadoss and the tight editing by Sreekar Prasad. Not for one minute do they allow the movie to sag nor do they allow any dull scenes to impede its flow. And with the superb work behind the camera by Santosh Sivan, the audience will find it difficult to move their eyes away from the screen.
Kajal Agarwal has a light role and makes the best use of it. Her chemistry with Vijay in the comic sequences adds to the fun component of the movie.
The ending of the movie has been left open, and it may have been intentional with Murugadoss eyeing a sequel. That may or may not be so, but one thing is sure: 'Thuppakki' will definitely be picked up by a big Bollywood star for a remake. For, the gun was bang on target.

Just came back from the movie. All I can say is :smokesmirk: and :clap: What a flick. Can't believe 3 hours passed by so fast. The movie and vijay both were stylish and smart. It did not treat the audience as stupid. The villain was really smart. That made him even more dangerous. There were quiet a few scenes with the villain I was thankful for. Kudos for keeping the villain intelligent and not your average baddie.
I am also a muslim, I did not find anything that was offensive in that movie. They did not even say they were muslims. You only know that by their names. I dont know what their problem is.

Predicting the box office collections of a Tamil film is a challenging process, since there is no transparency in this regard. Despite this cinemalead.com managed to get the box office collection figures from various sources.

We have already reported about the first day collections of Thuppakki almost in accordance with trade pundit’s prediction. Here we give you the first three days collection of Thuppakki (gross) worldwide.

TN- 22.15 crores
Kerala- our source says 3.5- 4 crores.
Andhra- 2 to 3 crore
Karnataka- 2 crore
USA and UK- 1.25 crore
Malayasia, Singapore, Srilanka- 3 to 4 crore
Even if we consider the lesser amounts ie., for example we are taking 3.5 crores as Kerala collections similarly in Andhra 2crores and in Malaysia, Singapore and Srilanka 3 crores. So when we are calculating all these figures the three day gross report is approximately 33.9 crores ie., the total box office collection will lie within 34 – 35crores.

The weekend collection will shoot up say the sources and according to our prediction by one week the box office collection of Thuppakki will be around 55- 60 crores. Stay tuned for more updates…

Vijay hints at Thuppakki 2
Jagdish finishes the mission at the end of Thuppakki and returns to his border duty, without getting married to Nisha. “It looks like you guys are planning on a sequel!” This was the question thrown at Vijay in a talk show.
The actor jovially said that he has said the same thing to Murugadoss, the director of the film, hinting that there might be a follow up to Thuppakki.
Presently, both the actor and the director are enjoying the success of their action film.

[ajaybaskar]

What is that logical loop hole that these reviewers point out? Why should Jagdish report things to the police or his higher officials in the army? He is a DIA agent and he has all the liberty to do whatever he wants to save the nation. No secret agent will go to the police and reveal that he is one. Buggers, think before you review something.

NGO bantah filem Thuppakki

Oleh NORAZRIN MARZUKI
pengarang@utusan.com.my

AMIR Amsaa Alla Pitchay (tiga dari kanan) bersama ahli Ikatan Rakyat Insan Muslim Malaysia menunjukkan laporan polis membantah tayangan filem Thuppakki di Ibu Pejabat Polis Dang Wangi, Kuala Lumpur, semalam. - UTUSAN/WAHIDIN SALIM
KUALA LUMPUR 16 Nov. - Tiga pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) hari ini membuat laporan polis menggesa supaya pihak berkaitan menghentikan serta-merta tayangan filem Tamil berjudul Thuppakki yang didakwa boleh mencetuskan provokasi terhadap umat Islam.

Laporan dibuat oleh Ikatan Rakyat Insan Muslim Malaysia (IRIMM), Majlis Madrasah India Muslim Malaysia (Mim) dan Pertubuhan Ansarul Islam Malaysia pada kira-kira pukul 12.30 tengah hari di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Dang Wangi, di sini hari ini.

Presiden IRIMM, Amir Amsaa Alla Pitchay berkata, sebahagian besar adegan dalam filem tersebut yang mula ditayangkan di Malaysia sejak Deepavali lalu menggambarkan umat Islam sebagai pengganas adalah sangat keterlaluan.

"Boleh dikatakan 90 peratus adegan dalam filem tersebut menceritakan betapa jahat dan ganasnya penganut agama Islam dan umatnya perlu dihapuskan.

"Ini adalah provokasi melampau yang cuba dicetuskan oleh penerbit dan pengarah filem tersebut justeru, filem ini perlu dihentikan serta-merta daripada ditayangkan di seluruh negara," katanya kepada pemberita di sini hari ini.

Sementara itu, Setiausaha Agung Mim, Kamal Batcha Noor Mohideen berkata, beliau meminta agar kerajaan dan agensi berkaitan seperti Lembaga Penapisan Filem dan Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia (Finas) supaya lebih tegas dan berhati-hati membawa masuk filem luar sebelum ditayangkan di negara ini.

"Sebenarnya kami agak pelik bagaimana filem-filem sebegini dengan mudah masuk dan ditayangkan di negara yang mempunyai majoriti penduduk beragama Islam.

"Sehubungan itu, kami meminta agar kandungan dan jalan cerita setiap filem import diteliti terlebih dahulu sebelum ditayangkan," katanya.

OMG, ENTHA LOOSU PADAM PAARTHATU?

[Kumaran.P]

Krish Singer : #Thuppaki Round 2.. Night show...;-) im really excited.

[Kumaran.P]

Venkat Prabhu : Going to watch#Thuppakki now
with Biriyani Team!

[directhit]

Was wondering who was the voice for kajal, was thinking it was Andrea..thx to twitter found out it was super singer Raghinishree! :o very nice :p :D

[smaiitm]

Finished watching Thuppakki for the second time. Forum Value Mall, Bangalore. Theater was full.

Impressions:

A new look, fit, youthful, intense Vijay who pulls of a great performance. A pleasure to see him, suave and urbane.
Sathyan plays the role of friend and not that of a comedian. That is performed by Jayaram. Both are ok. A few jokes evoke laughter.
Kajal: Not very sure about her role. Not much of romance or does she contribute to the main theme investigating the sleeper cells. The girls in the roles of Vijay's sisters were cute.
Mr. Sivan - Outstanding
HJ - The last song is good and so is Google Google. Antartica is also good. BGM should be quite alright, since it did not disturb too much.

Loved the joke on having the bride sing. 'Jana Gana Mana than paada mudium'.

The climax scene with Vijay 'straightening' himself after being beaten senseless reminded of the climax scene in Ghilli.

The first half, except for the few scenes before the interval did not leave an impression and could have been avoided. Songs seemed force fitted, except for the opening song, Google Google and the last song.

A very tight second half. One wishes that this cat and mouse game happened from the opening. Guess songs and romance are required to reach the masses.

Hats off to ARM for portraying VJ so differently.

Will be seeing it again next week.

[ajaybaskar]

And the person who dubbed for Vidyut was Abhinay, the second hero of Thulluvadho Ilamai.

[venkkiram]

After a long time, am about to watch a Vijay movie in theater. Excited.

[venkkiram]

Big Cinemas 3:15 show is houseful. Good that we booked online the tkts.

[ajaybaskar]

Thuppakki makes a huge jump on Friday in the US. Collects $75,000. Total: $180000 as of Friday end.

Thanks for your review, Sir. It's good to see Vj getting high praise for his acting skills. Not something neutrals easily admit to. I'm glad that you enjoyed you first Vj's movie in theatre in a long time.

[venkkiram]

இசையைப் பற்றி குறிப்பிட மறந்துவிட்டேன் பின்னணி இசை - படத்தின் அலைநீளத்திலேயே பயணிக்கிறது. கூடுதல் பலம். ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜ் அமைத்த முதல் தரமான பின்னணி இசை என்றே கூறலாம். பாடல்கள் - பிரமாதம் / மோசம் என இரண்டிற்கும் உட்படாத நடுத்தரமான ஒன்று.

[Kumaran.P]

venkat prabhu : #Thuppaki a stylish action thriller!! Thalabathy is super duper cool!! Loved his new look!! Still looking so very young!! Excellent making!!

[Kumaran.P]

Tapsee (Actress) : Met a few friends n saw thupakki. Loved the movie. Very intelligently made. Was gripping all through out!

Big Cinemas 3:15 show is houseful. Good that we booked online the tkts.

The 4 20 show here in Atlanta was also housefull. It's been a long time since I watched movie with housefull crowd in Atlanta. This is Vj's big hit in US in aft 5 years. Also met Selva in the theater in between the shows.

[VinodKumar's]

Lot of repeat audiences were there from my office. Could see lot of kids as usual for vj movie.

[venkkiram]

When Vijay corrects his bone damages one by one during the last climax fight sequences, a girl from front seat clapped for long time.

[Mukzi]

During the interview in Vijay Tv for Diwali Special.the anchor asks what kind of film do u want to give the audience or something.Murugadoss replies that he wants each person to watch my movie atleast five times.he has been very successful in it.watched for the second time yesterday,the crowd was.huge.never have I seen so much crowd for any recent movie...except.for endhiran....on average I am sure even a neutral would watch it twice...

Good Review Venki Sir.

[venkkiram]

ஒரு சில சண்டைக் காட்சிகள் என்றாலுமே மிகவும் நேர்த்தியாக தொகுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. P_rருக்கு பிடித்துப் போகும் என நினைக்கிறேன் இறுதியுத்தத்தில் வில்லன் ரொம்ப ரசித்து சண்டை போடும் காட்சிகள் கண்களிலேயே நிற்கின்றன. வில்லனுக்கு இறுதிக் காட்சி சண்டை என்றால் ஜெகதிஷிக்கு தனது நாய் மூலம் வில்லனின் இடத்தை கண்டுபிடித்து சண்டை போடும் காட்சிகள். ரொம்ப ஸ்டைலிஷ் அதே நேரத்தில் நம்பகத்தன்மை வாய்ந்தது. நாய் ஒரு மூலையிலும், ஜெகதிஷ் ஒரு மூலையிலும் நிற்க எஞ்சிய கூட்டத் தலைவனை பிடிக்க நெருங்கி வரும் காட்சி - அதகளம். முருகதாஸ் ஷங்கர் போல தோன்றுகிறது. ஹீரோயிசத்தை அவர்கள் நாம் நினைத்துப் பார்க்கவே முடியாத உயரத்திற்கு கொண்டு செல்ல முயற்சித்துக் கொண்டே இருக்கிறார்கள். பாராட்டனும்!

[otedoric]

The scene where VJ gets the first terrorist when he escapes from hospital was also good and fun!

Not sure which scenes they have removed
going again today
Hopefully not the good ones

As you say, the scene now seems even more powerful!!!!. :)

[elsaen11]

Watched It, totally a perfect action thriller that entertains huge. :clap:
Vijay's parts were executed neatly. And , vijay's screen presence is amazin and a biggest strength for the movie. We see him that we never saw before. Terrific man!
A.r.Murugadoss Take a BOw :bow:

You did not fail this time, wonderful screenplay that kept everyone engaging till the end.
I felt songs were good too, except one or two.
BGM was best from Harris in recent times, it added more value for getting thrill during the spine chilling action moments,

Kajal :slurp: An example, when paired up with vijay, you have no other way than dancing good and performed well too.

Jayaram & Satyan have done their roles superb especially the former, the scenes involving him with Vijay impressed everyone , for instance A first meet up between both of them in a Hotel :hilarious:

technically the film excelled as well, a good picturization by SS throughout the movie, and crisp editing by SP :) a lengthy movie but never gave that feel when we completed with the film!

The film has everything to turn out to be a Biggest Blockbuster in TC .
Verdict : THIS BIG BUDGET DID NOT FAIL AS THE MOST OF ARE ,THIS YEAR :razz: :thumbsup: !

[Kumaran.P]

watched it again today for 5th time! Could see bunch of family audience and kids inside the theatre!
HEAT IS STILL ON!!!!
The year ends well for Tamil Cinema !

[arulraj]

Watchd 3rd time with family and friends...enjoyed sunday with thalaivar..lot of whistles and cheers from family audience.... Great come back thalaiva...

[interz]

Thuppakki - my review n thoughts.

Went to a theatre 40 km away from home to watch the movie. A lot of family audience here as well, few guys with so much gel in the hair that they decided the look has to last forever and some girls with active cells sms'ing a lot, movie started at tamil time 9 pm-...(meaning 30 mins later).

The movie is quite simple, the hero is fighting terrorism like in many other indian movies, but the way he fights them is what makes movie worth the watch. There are a few surprise elements in the movie but it would be a spoiler to those who hasnt watched it.

POSITIVES
- Vijay is pretty good, he is a cold blooded soldier who will do ANYTHING to protect india from terrorism, but more importantly really clever as well. He does well in dancing as usual, fighting also super.
- Kajal Agarwals hotness
- Vidyut Jamwal, I was surprised that he was a larger threat than Villains usually are in tamil
- Jayaram is too hilarious
- fighting (who is stuntmaster?)
- director murugadoss impresses me again, I have seen almost all his tamil movies (except Dheena)
- the intro song was good to watch pachai mannila, pachai color dress pottutu soldiers aadumpoothu paarka nalla irukku.

Negatives:
- Alghough Kajal Agarwal is a hottie, I dont get her character in the movie. director Murugadoss made her look like spoiled silly loosu ponnu like in many tamil movies
- "TV serial family" the scenes with families seemed articial for me, and I cant stop imagening the artists from the family are from popular tv serials
- eventhough the dance and emotional expression were good the songs slowed down the pace of the movie, but I enjoyed the scene with murugadoss and the cameraman in Google Google song though
- romance? Maybe Murugadoss got confused watching SJ Surya's "Irukku aana Illai" scene from Ah Aah", in Thuppakki its like "pidichirukku aana pidikkalai"

Overall Thuppakki is a pleasant treat for Vijay fan like me. Its a big boost for Vijay that his latest 4 movies (Kaavalan, Velayutham, Nanban and Thuppakki) were/are succesfull ventures

[Warden]

Mayajaal today.54 shows housefull except for midnight shows :) Beat that!

[Mr.GreyShirt]

Thuppaki is on youtube already...

[mareen]

Just came back from watching Thupakki. Really liked it, very racey and engaging throughout the end. However, I found the songs slowing the movie down unnecessarily. Plus, they have also cut all fights scenes here in UK, so stupid!

[rachel]

My friend wanted to watch a movie because she passed her exams. she asked me to go with her. so i agreed.

positives
1. vj looks young and fit,he dances and fights well. he looks so smart in his army uniform.

2.kajal also looks beautiful in sarees and modern dress, nice to watch her in songs, great figure

3.villain..he is so handsome, his silent acting was good. in the climax, when i see him with vj in the same frame, he outshines vj in looks and presence.
4. new plot(cat and mouse game) and story and dedicated to indian army, really touching.

negatives
1.i didn't like satyan's irritating comedy

2.climax was very quick and short, no twists and turns

3.kajal's acting was not impressive.

4.about vj- he looks good, but he comes as serious army intelligent person when he tries to find the head of the crime, fighting and killing and thinking seriously to solve the puzzles, but the next scene, he is with kajal like normal fun loving guy with no care in the world, for example he put the dangerous criminal in his cupboard and then he tries to kiss kajal in front of his cupbord with criminal inside making jokes about the situation, those things reduce the seriousness and intensity of the film IMO.Maybe vj fans like it, i don't know.

over all you can watch it once,it was ok film for me.i liked 'antarica' and 'google' songs

[Mr.GreyShirt]

I found Vijay's personality twisted. He is a fun guy but when he gets serious he gets psycho like. I found that well shown since he acts as a secret agent in the army force. He obviously had many missions where he had to torture the enemy to gain information or even endured torture himself, which changed his personality than what it was before joining the army. When he comes to visit his family he obviously had to put on a different personality to hid his now twisted self. But that's just my view of thinking.

may be but the 'Andha bayam irukkattum' and the dialogues and the delivery and the vijay expressions are way better than damal, dumeel & twists and turns. A very different one. I liked it.

They have cut a scene while going behind 12 sleeper cells and muted the words when VIJAY speaks to SATHYAN over phone...
Nothing much.. :)

[CEDYBLUE]

The stupendous success of Thuppakki has only reinstated Vijay's Box Office power.
Almost all big stars in Tamil Cinema have good openings for their movies and when each of their movie releases, we see so many articles claiming them to be Box Office Kings/Superstars etc.,
Similarly, we have some bankable stars who may not have the greatest fan following, but hold fort because of their popularity among family audiences.
But can we say, Vijay is one of those rarest heroes who invariably has a great fan following and hence enjoys a great start, at the same time is also quite strong among family audiences? thoughts?

[ajaybaskar]

Very very true. :)

[abhiveeru]

The entire team of Thuppakki is basking in good reviews and praises. Recently the film’s lead actor Vijay, in order to celebrate the success of the film hosted a superb party for the entire team at his place. The entire team including director AR Murugadoss is said to have attended the party and through their social networking pages, the attendees expressed how good Vijay and his better half, Sangeetha were in throwing parties.

Meanwhile, Vijay is also gearing up for his next film with AL Vijay. It hasn’t been titled yet, but the director is likely to decide on it before he leaves for the schedules in Malaysia and Singapore.

Amala Paul pairs up with actor Vijay for the first time and Santhanam is also part of the cast. Though a formal confirmation on the crew hasn’t come our way, it is expected to be AL Vijay’s usual team, comprising of GV Prakash, Nirav Shah and Anthony.

the first two day collection is any record?

[Dammy R]

The numbers are amazing. I remember most of us were upset when the release date was moved from 9th to 13th. Given that only 13th was a holiday in India (working day in the rest of the world), and the next 3 days (wed thru fri) were working days as well before the weekend....this is a tremendous achievement by any yardstick. Just imagine what would have happened if it had released on 9th ;-). And as Ajay said, most of the night shows are 70% + booked even today...awesome response to a truly deserving movie....very happy for Vijay!!

[ajaybaskar]

Softy,

The first two day collection was on par with many recent hits. But the real record was the next 4 days. The film didnt show any sign of declining as WOM was awesome, Hence the numbers..

Character Sketch of Jagdish Dhanapal:
He is an army man and also a specialist in Defence Intelligence Agency(DIA) who is on a secret mission. He is ubercool. He is levelheaded. He is not afraid to speak out what he feels. He is the smartand sexy boyfriend of his hot and spicy girlfriend. We are talking about IC 58464 Captain Jagdish Dhanapal of Thuppakki.
He doesn't react to anything without a thought. Whether he isseeing a terrorist trying to escapeoff the hospital or his sister is in danger or his life is threatened bythe villain or he is being double crossed by the villain, he has this"lets face it" attitude and never gets into the emotional circle. Even for rejecting an alliance, he thinks of solid reasons of why it is not suitable for him.
Always surrounded by friends and family, yet his secret agent role needs him to have a dangerous parallel life where he is left alone to make decisions, face enemies and win over them, even if his life is in danger. The irony is that he enjoys this parallel life as much as his public life known to others.
His family gives him enough independence and space that helps him achieve his targets as planned. His mind keeps thinking about what to do next. Even if he is in a romantic encounter with his girlfriend, his subconscious mind keeps thinking about his mission. He always searches for clues to solve the problem he faces. He is confident of his actions because when he is performing them, he would have already thought about the consequences from all possible angles and thought about the next step too.
He is stylish, dresses for the occasion, likes to freak out when he is not in army zone and throws his charm wherever he goes. Well versed in Tamil, Hindi and English, he never has a problem with communication. Heis fit enough to fight his enemies,has a toned body required for thearmy but sans any beefing up or six pack attractions which are not part of majority of army officers fitness regime.
He respects his seniors even though they turn out funny to him and even if they talk him down in front of others. He respects his profession very muchthat he keeps in touch with injured army men who were given forced retirement after they became disabled. And even though he is in service, he likes togive them their due respect, an example is going down on his knees when speaking to a group of army officers in wheel chair so that he can look up and speak to them.
On other side of this sturdy army soldier is a person who loves his family very much and misses them when he goes away. He is a mischievous son, a doting brother who enjoys fighting withhis sisters and ready to go to any length when it comes to save them from danger. He cares for every girl from the family of his friends like his own sister and he doesn't want them to witness the blood and gore he lays hands on when he is on mission.
He is very attached to his family and respects his future in-laws too, who will be soon part of his extended family. At the same time, he is ready to bet on his own life or even his family's safety when it means that there can be done something worthwhile to the nation. He feels that if terrorists taking out thousands of life can make sacrifices, people like him destined to save lives should also not be bothered of making sacrifices.
The more he respects his profession, the lesser he speaks out his own pride. He lets his actions do the talking. Even whenhis policeman friend claims policehas to do more work and think more than army, he never underestimates them with ego. Instead, he makes best use of their intelligence for his operations and succeeds in them.And in the course proves how army is better.
When he is set on a mission, he hardly cares for anything - what he eats, where he sleeps, where his girlfriend is and so on. His mind is set only on the task he has to complete. He has lot of links from whom he gets what he wants - be it messages or materials. He is licensed to kill but never harms anyone without a reason. But when he witnesses an atrocity in front of his eyes, like school children getting killed in bomb blast, his revenge is severe.
He is not just brawny but also brainy with an equal intelligence as his muscle power. His decoding of clues, planning every move of his games against enemies, anticipating how the enemy would react to his moves and planning his next step accordingly are few proofs of how his intellect is employed in fighting evil. He knows every nook and corner of his city which helps him travel around very easily.
For the rugged person he is, he also is a soft romantic at heart with his girlfriend - provided she is also a freak out personality like him. Being a Mumbai Tamilian and brought up in modern ways, he is never attracted towards shy, timid and reserved girls who stick on more to the tradition and rather prefers someone outspoken with a modern outlook.
That's Jagdish Dhanapal for you - The Ultimate Agent on Mission.

Kajal breaks the jinx!
At last Kajal Aggarwal has a hit in Kollywood.
Her Vijay starrer Thuppakki is all set to be this year’s biggest grosser. Kajal who was considered jinxed in Tamil was on the lookout for a hit in Tamil, and she has hit the bulls eye with Thuppakki.
Kajal is one of the most successful heroines in Telugu with a series of hits ( Maghadheera, Brindavanam, Businessman ). And her Hindi debut film with Ajay Devgan Singham too went on to become a blockbuster.
However, in Tamil Kajal films were either flops or average at the box-office. Her early Tamil films Pazhani, Modi Vilayadu and Bomallatam were colossal flops and she was written off. But she made a comeback of sorts with Karthi’s Naan Maahan Alla , which turned out to be an average grosser.
Kajal’s big ticket to stardom in Tamil was Suriya’s Maattrraan and Vijay’s Thuppakki . While Maattrraan turned to be an average grosser, Thuppakki was right on target at the box-office.

[nickraman]

Watched the movie.

Great show by Vijay. I think this is his true comeback than his previous ventures with Siddique and Shankar. Villian was kinda off a joker at times (didn't seem to show that "terror" seen in most villians. Vidyut got more screentime than he did in Billa 2.) Vijay's Hindi was awesome (much much better than his ATM dialogue) especially in the climax. He had confidence in saying a dialogue like "I am waiting" vs the peter lines in Kaavalan.

Kajal was stupid in this one. I think TN cinema is slowly becoming like Andhra cinema in heroine department. The love scenes were okay at first, but that post-Google Google-song kiss-adikira maadhiri scene was just ugh. Better than her role in Maattrraan I guess. In the comedy department, Jayaram scores over Sathyan (pretty weak in general.) A film like this doesn't require much comedy scope like Ghajini. Harris did good in music, though I wish he never composes a song like Alaikaa Laikaa ever again. 2 horrible singers (Javed Ali sings like a Marwadi in thamizh; Sayonara mumbles her way w/o clarity.)

It's Ghajini good but not upto Ramana standards (best ARM movie till date.) Still, it's a good comeback for Murugadoss after than horrible nonsense last year. After Ghilli, here's comes another film with repeated viewing.

Completely agree. Jayaram for comic relief and Sathyan as a 'thozhan'. Liked both the roles.

Thuppakki is no different from Vijay's other mass masala entertainers. But why has it attained such a phenomenal success? I tried to list down a few reasons.

- ARM had shown a Vijay who appealed to all classes of audience. Tremendous work has gone behind in improving his costumes and physique. Special thanks to Komal, the costume designer for Vijay in Thuppakki

- Heroism was PERFECT. No over the top dialogues or fancy stunts. Jagdish enters the scenes whenever the audience wants him to. Special thanks to Kecha, who has done a great job with the action sequences.

- Whenever the villain is as good as the hero, we are in for a treat. An Antony for Baasha, Muthupandi for Saravana Velu and now this nameless for Jagdish. Vidyut has all the talents and looks for becoming a big star in the future.

- The screenplay was slick. Gone are the days when movies used to run for the face value of heroes. Now the stars' crowd pull only helps for the initial opening. The sustaining solely depends on the word I mentioned in the first line - screenplay. All the recent hits will prove my statement.

- It has been quite a while since there was a movie with army as the back drop. Thuppakki is not without flaws. But when you finish off the movie with a line - Dedicated to the Indian Army and their families - your sins are to be pardoned.
