Thudarum movie review: Tharun Moorthy makes Mohanlal throw away the ‘L’ and unleash his enigmatic talent to deliver a nearly flawless revenge thriller | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Thudarum movie review: Absolute magic is what would happen on screen if the director has complete conviction and command over the narrative and the world they have envisioned. In short, that’s exactly what director Tharun Moorthy has managed to pull off with the Mohanlal and Shobana-starrer Thudarum. In detail, Thudarum ranks among one of the finest Indian revenge thrillers that hasn’t compromised on any of its aspects, both on the creative and technical sides, while also ensuring brilliant performances – particularly from Mohanlal and Shobana, together and individually – thus offering an unparalleled experience. For Shanmugham (Mohanlal), his black Ambassador car is the most valuable possession in his life. Not that he doesn’t love his wife Lalitha (Shobana) and children (played by Thomas Mathew and Amritha Varshini); he loves them to the moon and back. But that Ambassador car has a lot of significance in his life, particularly his past, and hence, it is invaluable. Remember Sudhi’s love for his autorickshaw, Sundari, in Venu Nagavalli’s Aye Auto (1990)? Yeah, multiply that by 100; that’s how …
