Thuppakki Movie review



Official Poster


Thuppakki is Director A.R. Murugadoss sir’s latest flick after 7-aam Arivu. Thuppakki is how a military man solving a major bomb blasting mission of sleeper cells in Mumbai by his own efforts and applying his intelligent in this mission.  Thuppaki cast Vijay, Kajal Agarwal, Satyan, Vidyut Jamwal, Jayaram and many more. One of India’s leading cinematographer come director, Santosh Sivan sir handled camera for this film. Harris Jayaraj as Director A.R. Murugadoss’s pair as always scored music for Thuppaki. Editor A. Sreekar Prasad handled cuttings.

Director A. R. Murugadoss sir has written this story very interestingly, how an army man will think and how he will handle a conflict. Some more, the director screen played this film like puzzle which going one by one. The sequence has their continuity one to another and don’t have any jumping sequences. Jagdish start his mission with only one sleeper cell which found at bus and how he destroying the whole sleeper cell network with having only one sleeper cell as clue is the entire story about. But still there are very few scenes has less logics in the film; Jagdish has request ex- army officers who became disable during wars to prepare a plastic explosion at the climax but why he need to ask the favor to them?; but still it’s understandable that the director trying to reveal the sacrifices of the indian army officers towards the country in that sequences. Other than that, the climax fight scene also less logic; Jagdish ask the villain to untie him and the villain also did that to show how his manly daring which very heroism and usually happen in Tamil cinema. 

Cinematographer come director, Santhosh Sivan has handled camera very well for Thuppakki. Night sequences lighting very firm especially the table talk scene with blue and red lighting make the scene livelier. Also the fighting sequences has captured more creatively. Santhosh Sivan sir has visualized all the songs amazingly. Vennilave Tharaiyil song’s visual is really impressive; the location add more credits for the song; the shots are amazing with sun light especially in front of lake view shot Vijay dancing on the bench is beautiful with sunlight effects. Alaika Laika song’s gold tone is very nice which gave a rich look for the visual. Kutti Puli Kootam song’s visual is very colorful and give a fresh look for the audience. Google google song’s shots are creative with lighting. Director A. R. Murugadoss sir and Santhosh Sivan sir came on screen for this song is really cool.

Another part, Harris Jayaraj has scored songs and background scores for Thuppakki. All the songs are super hit for now. Google Google, sung by Vijay became very catchy. Harris Jayaraj’s background score add credit for many scenes. The theme music seems keep on repeating many times; even Jagdish theme music but it will more nice if the theme music played in many version according to the sequences. As always Harris songs become hit and will rule for few months and that’s also applicable for Thuppakki songs.

Thuppakki is an action- thriller with romantic film. Satyan also played an important role in this film as Jagsdish’s close friend. Even Satyan make few comedy sequences with story but still he played a heavy role in this film. Actor Vijay has contributed his best to this film and for sure he will rise more if he being choosy to his story with less of heroism. At last, Director A. R. Murugadoss make this film as his dedication to Indian Army. Thuppakki  produced by Kalaipuli S. Thanu and distributed by Gemini Film Circuit.
