THUPPAKI - REVIEW 



Thuppakki marks the joining together of AR Murugadoss, Ilayathalapathy Vijay and world class cinematographer Santhosh Sivan.  Does the film increase up to the expectation?

Jagadish is an military man who comes on a vacation to his hometown in Mumbai. His parents’ efforts to get him married did not succeed. However, he develops an attraction towards the proposed girl at a later stage only to be denied by her. Do they join or not make for the romantic part of the film.

On the other hand, the hero happens to come across a bus blast and gets to keep his hands on the perpetrator of the crime. However, he was sure that the criminal is not the head man and that he is only a sleeper cell. He wants to catch hold of the lead man. How intelligently he moves ahead and makes Mumbai free of terrorists’ sleeper cells forms the crux of the story.

Vijay is a pleasure to watch.And as usual pleasures the audience with his dancing skills, though at times you feel that the director has gone for an overkill of the same. Vijay’s outfits have also gone for a makeover like his character in the film for the good. Vidyut Jamwal as the bad guy has scope for performance and he has given a effective overall performance.

Like any other AR Murugadoss movie, the love angle in the film has a fresh attraction. Kajal Aggarwal has done rights to her role. Sathyan as the sub-inspector has nothing major to do but is good and adds some lighter moments to the other wise action based script. Jayaram as the armed forces officer too has done a good job.

Santhosh Sivan’s camera does not need any introduction. The film has been extensively shot in Mumbai and the city unfolds before you in all its busy charm. Harris Jayaraj’s songs are good and the songs have been picturized in the most beautiful manner. However, the placement and number of songs do not go well for the film’s pace and length. One feels it should have been a respite if at least two songs had been removed from the film. Though good, the BGM gives out a heard-before feel. Sreekar Prasad’s editing is good and excels in action scenes.

The film is engaging and racy and has a mention-worthy climax. As mentioned in the end card, the director has made the film as an ode to the Indian Army.

Thuppaki starts rolling in Hindi



Thuppaki, which got released this Diwali starring Vijay and Kajal Agarwal in the lead roles is already received a huge response from the viewers. A R Murugadoss has also showered with appreciations from super star Rajinikanth and the star has also watched the film twice.

Now the director has decided to do the film in Hindi with Akshay Kumar doing Vijay’s role and it seems like Parineeta Chopra will play Kajal’s role or it would be Katrina Kaif, whose name is also making the rounds. This is not the first time that Akshay Kumar is acting in a Tamil remake. He has earlier made a power-packed impression in Prabhu Deva’s Rowdy Rathore, which is the remake of Tamil movie Siruthai.

Actually the original Thuppakki story was first narrated to Akshay about a year back but he could not start the project due to his earlier commitment. The latest we hear is that Akshay has given his dates to Murugadoss and wants to start the film immediately. Murugadoss has said in an interview that “My next film is the Hindi remake of Thuppakki with Akshay for producer Vipul Shah, which should start rolling by December”.

Vijay starring Thuppaki in the direction of A R Murugadoss got release on Diwali and is running successfully on theatres. The film produced by S Dhanu stars Vijay, Kajal Agarwal, Sathyan, Jayaram and others. Thuppaki gained a huge response from the viewers and was big hit at the box office.

The film ends with Vijay leaving Mumbai and joining army again. So, there is a possibility for the sequel of Thuppaki, claims sources. A fan of Vijay questioned the actor whether they are planning a sequel and for which the star said that he has told A R Murugadoss to plan for the second installment of Thuppakki. It seems like A R Murugadoss has also plans for the sequel of Thuppaki.

Thuppaki is doing a great business in the domestic and UK Box Office, so there are possibilities for breaking the records of pervious films. It is also heard that Thuppaki has neared the record made by Rajinikanth’s Endhiran movie.
