Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreIm not a big fan of tamil/telugu films but many films are good. Thupakki made by AR Murugadoss is a good thriller. The film starts off quite well with typical romance and all but ever since the twist is out, it becomes captivating As the film is set in Mumbai Hindi is used more which make it natural though Vijay's Hindi isn't that good yet it gives the film authenticity. The film has good action scenes and good thrills There is the obligatory love story and songs too but thankfully not too irritating.Direction is good Music is as usualVijay does well in his role, Kaajal Agarwal is decent too Vidyut Jamwal who did villain roles in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu films before debuting as a lead in Commando is good in his role Zakir Hussian is as usual rest are okay
View MoreAfter a long time watched a movie with patriotic theme. Big applause to intelligent screenplay which is simply brilliant. Vijay is fantastic as Captain Jagdish. The subtle change in expressions and body language in camouflaging his working mind as per the situation is well portrayed. At the same time presenting himself as emotional family person as well as a cold-blooded ruthless interrogator is awesome.Cinematography is picturesque. However, role of heroine is limited to glamor factor. In fact few scenes involving her seemed forceful. Background score blends well with the situation. This is a must watch movie for entertaining and thrilling plot.
View MoreThis is possibly Vijay's best movie ever. If you don't know Vijay, you need to know that it's not a huge testimony up there - Vijay's movies usually set a pretty low bar, so a halfway decent movie could have gotten that tag. But Thuppakki is a very entertaining masala movie.Vijay is an army captain on holiday in Mumbai with his parents and sisters. They drag him to a prospective bride right from the train station, in his army uniform. This starts off the romantic background for the movie.But the story's crux is that Vijay is actually on a mission to track down and destroy terrorists operating in Mumbai. The fact that he directs this mission by driving around with his policeman friend and eventually stumbling onto a terrorist who bombs a bus, or that his senior officer does not seem to have a clue about this mission, does not detract from the thrill.The movie is implausible, the improvised plans are all too convenient, and we still have a grandiose element that is standard fare for masala movies. But it is entertaining from start to finish. Solid entertainer. My thumbs up to Vijay. See, Vijay? You don't HAVE to make sucky movies. Nobody expects you to make great movies, but you can use Thuppakki as a career guidance chart for yourself.
View MoreYou call this a an action thriller? Please!An army-man coming to Mumbai doing his own job with no intervention from ATS and doing whatever he wants to. Creators, get some brain, will ya?Yeah, the hero here has good repertoire in his credit, but no one's watching this crap with your fame. No plot, no story, this is piece of utter baloney.The actress proves to be a buffoon here with no respect given to the whole of female fraternity. The writer should be sued by female activists.Idiotic sequences, not-so-funny dialogs, I wish I could walk out of the theater halfway!Guys, this movie is not at all recommended just like Jab Tak hai Jaan!Instead go watch some Hollywood flicks which have something new to offer!Vijay & Murugadoss, go and start from scratch!
