Thani Oruvan (U): Book Your Tickets Right Away!
Thani Oruvan Plot:
The movie deals with a basic concept of good vs evil which has been narrated in an unique style. Jayam Ravi plays an upright IPS officer whose priority is to safeguard the serenity of his town.
On the other hand Arvind Swamy has played the baddie who deceives others with his charming looks, subsequently making them fall into his trap.
A game of cat and mouse ensues between Jayam Ravi and Arvind Swamy after the latter's menace reaches an unbearable height. But this battle is more of a psychological clash which makes this film quite interesting.
Performances:
All the lead actors including Mugdha Godse have delivered the goods. Arvind Swamy's body language is something that you may find interesting throughout the film and his dialogue delivery is an added advantage.
Special mention goes to Nayantara, for she deserves it. The talented actress has yet again proved her worth with her subtle and clever expressions.
Supporting cast of Ganesh Venkatraman, Harish Uthaman and Sricharan have played their respective part in an efficient manner while Vamsi Krishna looks way too rigid for one's liking.
Kudos to the director for assembling a near perfect cast with Thambi Ramaiah being the only exception as his role is a slight mismatch in a movie like Thani Oruvan.
Technicalities:
Thani Oruvan is a technically strong film. Intriguing screenplay backed by engaging background score forms a lethal combination. Both first as well as second halves are fresh and manages to keep you hooked.
Ramji's cinematography adds stability and also enhances the overall feel of the film. Colors too have been used brilliantly as the team has managed to give us a feeling that they sure know where to draw the line in order to make the pictures look sleek and truly international.
While Gopikrishna's cuts are sharp enough, he could've perhaps shortened the overall length of the film as 2 hours and 38 minutes is slightly on the longer side for a thriller.
Overall View:
Thani Oruvan is a classified thriller which is new to Tamil cinema. The whole team deserves a pat on their back for pulling off a new age cinema while keeping all the commercial elements intact.
