                        THUPPAKI

AR Murugadoss after the loss of chance in dheena with vijay, he got Thuppakki with ilaya thalapathy vijay, Kajal and master Vidyut is a smartly packaged action entertainer which is surprisingly riveting all the way till the climax.




His latest film Thuppakki  is a action entertainer where an army officer(vijay) has to kill the sleeeper cells who are mingled with the ordinary peoples.more films are similar to this  but this one is a notch above the rest, thanks to Murugadoss’, good direction and a strong technical team.

Vijay plays as Jagadish, an army officer who’s on a 2 month vacation. He comes to Mumbai to visit his family and he’s introduced to Kajal Aggarwal(Nisha). Meanwhile, Vijay finds out that someone is planning a series of bomb blasts in Mumbai and he goes  to stop the bomb blast. Eventually, this leads him to the terrorist head (Vidyut). The rest of the story is about the mind games which Jagadish and the terrorist  leader play in their attempts to outdo each other.

Vijay is fabulous as an army officer. Right from the moment he nabs a terrorist who plans a bomb in the bus, till the point where he comes face to face with the gang’s leader, Vijay is quite frankly the backbone of the film. Kajal is gorgeous in the film and her scenes with Vijay are some of the most entertaining ones in the film. Vidyut is menacing as the chief of the terrorist group and it’s a pity that he didn’t get a bigger role to play in the film though he dont have biger role he captured most of the fans. The confrontation scenes between Vijay and Vidyut are a major highlight of the film.

After a point, one would tend to think that AR Murugadoss would definitely hit a home run, but there comes the problem. The film’s climax completely falls  which is built around the final confrontation between Vijay and Vidyut.

The placement of songs and romantic sequences right in the middle of a tense drama is a major distraction, but then one can’t complain much about such cinematic liberties.

Harris Jayaraj makes up for fabulous tunes with a hd background score and Santosh Sivan’s cinematography is speechless. His vision of Mumbai and his eye for detail is amazing throughout the film. After the flop of 7aam Arivu, AR Murugadoss makes a strong comeback with Thuppakki. It’s an engaging film, despite a runtime of 170 minutes, and completely catches you by surprise at time.

This diwali will be great for vijay, murugadoss and their teams.......

Next film of vijay is Thalaivaa

RATING  :  8/10
