Who payed the critics

Excellent but underrated film

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

this is an awesome movie, just wanna say a gift from A. L. Vijay and a cook from Vikram, Jagapati Babu, Anushka Shetty, Amy Jackson and Lakshmi Rai....Just want to thank all of you for such a nice story and a beautiful representation of the message of love, loyalty and trust.....and the piano music of "A Poem For You" is addiction....just don't know how to thank you so that it reaches you, but prayers are with you.....keep it up....u were able to earn blessings and that's the main thing.........Vikram - a GIFT and the rest of them are the bunches of rose.....I would like to see more of such kind in the near future....One more thing i don't understand Tamil at all, i know Hindi fluently... You all can say that a deaf has watched the movie and praised for it....

Thandavam (U)--------my Rating: 3.5/5 HIT or may be SUPER HIT* It is a family packed action thriller.......* Cast , vikram has proved himself greatly after the defeat of "Rajapattai",fantastic performance as a blind man and he comes with a six pack before interval,Anushka was romantic in her first scene and follows, Amy jackson is waste...... * Nirav shah cinematography was superb and feels very pleasant to watch the entire movie with a pleasant feel.... * Story was fantastic and very perfectible....... * Music , G.v.prakash songs were not good except the second half songs are watchable than in first half, in the beginning of the movie BGM started well but he fails in the remaining plot....Very major minus is the movie length which runs 167mins.... - Screenplay sucks in the first half where fastens in the second half... - Santhanam does his best but his space was very little ... as we understand that it is an action flick......Finally ... It is a clean package entertainer with romantic scenes and thrilling chases..overall it is a perfect one time watch....... The film is an action entertainer about a blind man with 'echolocation' power, who takes on a revenge mission. — at Sathyam Cinemas.

Seriously, Director AL Vijay has to stop copying films from now on.His Latest offering Thaandavam's storyline is just a rip-off from the popular movies "Ghajini" and "Ko"The only good part in the movie was the first 30 minutes and Santhanam's comic sequences when he gets caught at the crime scene.When the flashback starts you can see the audience yawning.Songs are not very impressive except for 2 songs.Overall they further hamper the pace of the movie.BGM is awkward at many places.The scenes are very predictable in the second half.I entered the theatre with a lot of expectations due to the earlier success of Vikram-Anushka-GVP-AL Vijay combo in "DeivaThirumagal" but this movie was a huge letdown.It wont survive too long.Better luck next time Vijay! Don't let your next movie worse than this :D :D

Vikram is back with a bang! Returning as a silent but deadly blind revenge seeking hero, he takes center screen to kick butt. Infusing a credible premise with honesty, and peppering the film with tender moments, director Vijay creates an engaging drama that you're happy to emotionally invest in. Technically, Thaandavam is one of the best films to have emerged out of Kollywood in a long time. Add to that some peppy melodies from GV Prakash and comedy that goes with the narration makes it entertaining.It is Vikram and him alone who diverts your attention from the film's little logical script flaws and spellbinds you with an endearing act that is Thaandavam's biggest strength. Exuding menace with his expressive eyes and body language and the tiniest of tics to make flesh- and-blood characters out of Sivakumar IPS and Kenny the blind man seeking revenge, Vikram is simply terrific. Vijay with the help of Daniel Kish, an echolocation expert has made Vikram's blind assassin role credible and awesome.Technically it is Vijay's best film with superior eye-catching camera by Nirav Shah and peppy melodies by GV Prakash with 'Oru Paadhi Kadhavu' being the pick of the lot. The action choreography by Manohar Verma is awesome especially the fast paced fight scene when a blind Vikram is attacked by six foreigners in a London park.Please note inspite of some gruesome killings in the plot line there is no blood or gore, hardly any smoking scenes, no drinking scenes or even an item number. For an audience numbed by predictable Kollywood potboilers week after week, Thaandavam might take some time to settle into; go in with an open mind and enjoy the ride.Well done Vijay and UTV for making a film that can be viewed by family audiences.very gud movie must watch!!!
