Story:
Saravanan [Arulnidhi] and his friends
Senthil [Pawan], Pazhani [Tarun Shatriya] and Aarumugam [Murugadoss] are
professional thieves, who are involved in a series of events taking
place in Madurai that lead to lock horns with ill-famed men in Madurai.
During one of the operation Saravanan is chased by policemen and he is
supposed to save Meenakshi [Poorna], who met with an accident. As the
film progresses, love blossoms between Saravanan and Meenakshi, which
lead to the fights between four friends. Go watch Thagararu for the
intervel bang and climax twist...
Performances:
Arulnithi has come out
of his comfort zone and tried to portray himself as action hero, but
couldn't gel with the character. He could have used his height and
stature perfectly and has to improve his dancing skills even.
Poorna has done her
parts well and she looked different in a never done before role. She
could have given more to perform, as Thagararu sees many talking about
Meenakshi all over.
Pawan, Tarun Shatriya, Murugadoss and Jayaprakash thoroughly performed and well suited to their roles.
Technical Analysis:
Debutant director Ganesh Vinayak's
choice of revange drama in Madhurai backdrop is good. But all the
difference is his not so gripping screenplay and narration style. Though
he has given good interval block and climax they seemed forcible.
Dharan composed Thagararu songs weren't
pleasurably placed and looked speed-breakers in the first half. Praveen
Sathya has given impressive background scores that has given life to few
scenes.
Dilraj's cinematography and TS Suresh editing are good, but couldn't help in film's success as the narration plays spoil sport.
Analysis:
Though newbie Ganesh Vinayak opted a
pull ahead script of close to native rivalries of Madhurai in similar
backdrop, he failed it depicting the same with his rieviting direction.
Especially, the unexpected climax twist is bitter.
Director has to be lauded for his young
technical team, who have well supported the film with their personal
excellence. All the cast Arul, Poorna, JP, Pawan, Tarun Shatriya,
Murugadoss have done their parts well. An unexpected twist in the
climax. Arulnithi's acting superb...and energetic. Poorna in a different
way she had never played a role like this before. Ganesh Vinayak hats
off bro done a great job valthukal & BGM r gud.. all over A gud
entertainer!!!
Final Verdict: Winning script that falls short of gripping narration...
