Thambi - Paarka vaendiya Thiraipadam

Today is one of the risky days. Before you wander your minds thinking what it is, I tell you... I wished to take my mom & sis take out for a movie. So what, why is it risky ? Was it coz of summer ?? Nope ! This is high time risk to attempt a tamil movie in theater with the ladies in home. Recent trends - All songs "pakka kuthu" songs including the romantic duets, perverted dialogues for inducing humour..its going highly bad.

I'd been to Thambi ! Movie is just good for my mindset and recent time attitude. It is not from an ace director so, I never had high expectations. R Madhavan is one of very few actors I like on-screen/off-screen. I know the music already..I was already fan of jaggamma, kaadhalithu paar songs. The movie is somewhat usual and age-old vengence story but, with a message and difference. Madhavan has made few changes in his looks. Long hair, kurta tops..costume that repeat in a movie. Be it lover boy or angry youth or gangster or a-father-for-two, he excels ! He has done it again. Thayir saadham has its taste always ! :-)

Whether he has a big tummy
and..made his gal mummy..he is now a daddy
But, always he is same old maddy !

Movie's plusses are Dialogues, Madhavan, Music ! Three of the major songs although them come hindrance to flow of the movie, are enjoyable and melodies. Few scenes are highly predictable and dragging..after all this is a mass movie with madhavan. So, gals would be lil disappointed. A typical flash-back where the hero loses his loved ones drags the viewers a big time. But, sarcasm on the tree-cutting-episode is interesting. The director proves in few scenes like heroine's token of love, climax where the bad-guy's ploy backfiring himself, maddy's counter attacks on blazing busses, hero knows karate so he could hit powerful and could handle guys, intermission scene where maddy claims he could be that single match to ignite the whole nation, restaurant scene where maddy comforts the heroine.

Of course, movie lacked so logics and impractical but, he never deviated from the theme.. no comedies although Vadivelu was there ! Hereoine is glamour factor, hardly makes any sense with expresssions..falling in love with couple of encounters with hero. But, I would say this is powerful presention than a costly Anniyan which eventually made people remember what REMO did and forgot what Anniyan said !

Keep coming movies like this and keep reminding people to care human/society/country. I had a nice movie.

i saw maddy in some scenes . his tamil accent seems to stay the same , irrespetive of its alaypayuthe or thambi . well thats my take after a couple of scenes on tv ,that generally arent enuf to gauge the actor though!!

"powerful presention than a costly Anniyan"

Right said!! I was scared 2 write a review abt this & ppl almost laughed @ my taste.. Im happy that u endorse it too.. :-)


This is definitely a different maddy movie..he has chosen an off-beat screenplay & has put best of his efforts though the movie director deserves much of the applause for the powerful dialogues..

Madhavan is always good onscreen and offscreen, as u said. U can always risk any of his movies atleast once for him. He is a great actor, I have been watching him right from his Sea Hawks days...

He deserves much better place in Tamil Cinema than wat he has now.. I mean, more than ABC thalapathys, XYZ stars and kaadhal 123s... ;-)

abt this movie, I don't want to watch it in CD neither I have no interest to watch it in theatres. So I will wait for "Indiya tholaikaatchigalil mudhan muraiyaaga" :-D

And it shud be surely better than Anniyan, it was a bull crap except for Vikram's excellent acting and music of Harris Jayaraj.. All other reformation stuff was kiddish, like watching a high school drama!!! :P
