The Hindu Review Thuppakki: On target, almost!

Our Rating - 4.5/5



A gripping action thriller starring Vijay, Vidyut, Kajal and direction by Murugadoss.
This is best of the movies I watched in recent times after Eega.  Murugudoss ensured that the viewers are well engaged with the scenes all throughout the movie with the mind games between two lead roles keeping you guessing all the while. At no point of time you get bored of the movie even the scenes with absolute silence.



Characters: Vijay & Vidyut[villain] get thumbs up for their performance. Vidyut with his rugged looks was awesome. Kajal added to the glamour part for the songs, which were not that catchy though from lyrics/tune point of view. The comedy part was situational and not overloaded. Overall the movie is a must watch and worth watching in theatre.

Our Review : 2.5/5 Rating


 The movie starts with a suspense but as it unfolds the logical sense deteriorates. The core of the movie is the suspense, which pivots on one point and revealing that one point makes the movie an absolute dud.





Coming to performances Aamir as usual lives in a character so did his best. Rani Mukherjee's was a sorry role. Kareena justified to the glamor part of the movie. The conversations between Aamir and Kareena were quite lengthy and it gets slightly boring. Music is good.



Overall the movie is not a must watch, atleast those who already are aware of the suspense will have a tough time watching it.
