Excellent, a Must See
... View MoreWatch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreThe joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
... View MoreThis is an exploitative movie with patriotism being the victim genre made specially for Vijay's fans. Let us start with a base score of 10.1. The casting: Vijay doesn't suit the role of an Indian Army Captain. Vijay should sport crop cut hair style, non-colored hair, clean shaved face, no-nonsense Army discipline (instead of comical 'Attention' poses which is downright degrading to a respectful institution), dress as a Intelligence operative instead and not as a college goer and have a sense of for the Army Uniform (soiled shoes really?). Kajal just struts around in outfits and plays a dumb girl who is easily convinced into anything. A man would wonder why don't all women be like this in real life. The Sub-Inspector guy is dorky and dumb enough to accompany super hero Vijay. The dumber the guy who is with you, the smarter you seem. See a pattern here? Wasted talents: Jayaram and Vidyut. Rest of the cast: Nameless and without scope. -1 = 9/102. Storyline: Not applicable. I mean where is the story? -1=8/10 3. Songs: Nothing to write home about. The so called songs are below average in music and lyrics. I suppose people who initially 'loved' Kolaveri might think 'Google Google' is amazing. -1=7/10 4. Direction & Screenplay: Full of non-sense. 10% of ideas + 90% of crap to link the 10% of ideas. The dog can sniff Vijay's sister's scent when she had been kidnapped in a closed Qualis MUV? Vijay doesn't care that he just lost his mate from the same camp to a bomb along with 100s of civilians and MUST go on duet with dumb Kajal? The first bomber apparently doesn't know the full story but has a map with all the future target locations, the date and another sleeper cell. Whoa! This is no sleeper cell - its a terror network! You see, Tamil audience have not heard much about the term 'sleeper cell'. So the director plays the term like its a new trend. There is even a scene of a CBI director on a talk show explaining about it... When the girls are being held by the terrorists, there are enough bad guys inside that room, but not one to outside to keep watch? Yes so -2=5/105. Action: All bullets from Assault Rifles miss Vijay in gun fights? Superhuman strength in fights? Army men are not super men. Army men are ordinary men doing an extraordinary duty. -1=4/10 6. Script: Since most of the bad guys are Muslims, the director saw it fit to appease the community with a single 'tearjerker' scene of a Muslim father sending off his son in the Army at the end. Exploitative to the core. -1=3/10Yes, Vijay fans love to give 10/10 for his movies. Get 50 of them to sign up on IMDb and post biased reviews and rating and you are guaranteed an Oscar. Yeah right.
... View MoreYou call this a an action thriller? Please!An army-man coming to Mumbai doing his own job with no intervention from ATS and doing whatever he wants to. Creators, get some brain, will ya?Yeah, the hero here has good repertoire in his credit, but no one's watching this crap with your fame. No plot, no story, this is piece of utter baloney.The actress proves to be a buffoon here with no respect given to the whole of female fraternity. The writer should be sued by female activists.Idiotic sequences, not-so-funny dialogs, I wish I could walk out of the theater halfway!Guys, this movie is not at all recommended just like Jab Tak hai Jaan!Instead go watch some Hollywood flicks which have something new to offer!Vijay & Murugadoss, go and start from scratch!
... View More'Thupakki' offers so much more than what you expect. Credits to the director, A.R. Muragadoss for providing a movie with sense and a movie that provokes us to think of our Indian Army. the Movie is cleanly a entertainer and its plot is not shadowed by not so "funny" jokes. The first half moves at an amazing pace; filled with action and comedy.I personally think there is no need of six songs in total for a movie of this standard. But that is not a problem as the songs are catchy and good to hear. A huge hand to Vijay for providing a performance which was filled with only one purpose: Entertainment. His new look also takes the film one step further as his old hairstyle was kinda of becoming boring to see. Another round of applause for Santosh Sivan as his camera does the talking for Thupakki. Overall the film is worth the money you give and has a message that should be kept in the minds of all Indians every second.
... View MoreThe movie starts off with Jagdish (an Army Man) coming to his home for vacation, where he is forced to get into action again. But he is a uber cool guy who faces any challenge without fear. Amidst all suspense and action, he meets his hot n spicy girl friend Nisha (Kajal). The movie is focused more about sleeper cells and terrorism in Mumbai. A well executed movie with lots of suspense and action by Bravo Murugadoss! As it is an action thriller, there is very little space for comedy and hence no Santhanam :P. Sathyan and Jayaram have done the comedy role. Santosh Sivan has rocked with camera. And as usual Harris Jayaraj gives the same melodious kind of music. This time it has been little average. But Google Google song has become a HIT - A good comeback by Vijay in Singing too :) Overall a Superb Movie with a Strong Message, dedicated to Indian Army!
