Jagame Thandhiram Review: Story & Performances
Earlier the makers decided to release the Jagame Thandhiram movie in theatres but due to the pandemic, they had to opt for the OTT release.
Writer & Director Karthik Subbaraj introduced us to the three
lead characters of the movie. Suruli(Dhanush), a paratha restaurant owner of
Madurai, is also involved in gangster activities.
Peter (James Cosmo), The British crime lord, an anti-immigration
racist. Sivadoss (Joju George), an Eelam Tamil in the UK, an arms dealer, and biggest rival of Peter. We have recently seen The Family Man Season 2 with a story
based on Eelam Tamil.
Just a few hours before his engagement, Suruli killed the
brother of a well-established businessman in the city, and the incident made
his life more difficult staying back there in Madurai.
Peter needs a Tamil gangster to take down his rival
Sivadoss. Vicky(Sharath Ravi) also a Tamil guy who lives in London, approached
his boss about Suruli. After listening to the story from Vicky, Suruli agreed
to go to London for a hefty amount of money.
In London, Suruli met with Attila (Aishwarya Lekshmi), a
nightclub singer, and fell in love with her. She has many secrets which she
doesn’t share with anyone. After helping Peter to kill Sivadoss, Suruli came to
know through Attila about his mistakes and he was filled with remorse. He
promised Attila to take revenge on Peter.
It will be quite unfair if we expect logic in the film as
there are a few scenes that might seem completely illogical. A few scenes looked
a bit funny, like the one when Vicky tries to convince Suruli for coming to
London, and another one was when Suruli first time met with Peter.
Karthik Subbaraj previously directed hit movies like Iraivi, Mercury, and Petta. He has tried to highlight the social issue through this
movie with his convenient writing.
Dhanush was the show stealer of the Jagame Thandhiram,
delivering another brilliant performance at ease. Aishwarya Lekshmi also looked
convincing. James Cosmo, mainly famous for Game of Thrones, did a decent job
as the antagonist.
What is good about this film?
Dhanush is the only reason you can watch this movie. His
dialogue delivery, comic timing, and action sequences everything was superb. Santhosh
Narayanan's background score was another positive side of this movie.
What is bad about this film?
The weakly written characters might make you realize that Joseph
Joju George’s character deserved more attention.
