Thadam (2019) :
Brief Review -
Probably, the best use of twins theme ever done in cinematic Liberty. A fulfilling twisty ride. Twins theme is not new for cinema world, it's been more than 6 decades we have been seeing multiple stories driven by the same idea. However, it became cliched after some time when filmmakers didn't think about doing something new with it. Finally, Magizh Thirumeni's Tamil Crime Thriller Thadam has ended that dry spell. The murder of a youngster creates confusion among cops when they discover the suspect has an identical twin brother. Thadam lacks quality in cinematic aspects but that doesn't matter much as the film was never supposed to entertain art lovers. It's pretty enjoyable and massy film with lots of twists and logical segments. It also has loopholes though, not quite arguable. But that hurts its overall impact for sure because the twist becomes predictable at one moment. It was like, yeah i doubted that at the beginning only and funnily it turned out exactly the same. But isn't it lovable? I mean sometimes predicting things is more fun than unpredictable twists and especially when it comes to light toned film like Thadam. Yes but we have to agree that director could have made it more accurate and outstanding thriller by covering the loopes such the heroine's character and pretty unintelligent nature of all the cops. Arun Vijay shines in the film in both the roles. The varieties are as real as it could get and the situations are ingrained too. Supporting cast is decent, background music is okay and technical aspects are fine. Thadam is hurt by low grade framework and mass oriented execution but that's forgivable. As a matter of fact, it's all about unfolding thrill in audience friendly manners than getting immense accuracy. Thirumeni deserves all the Love for making such a nice twisty ride on typical theme like Twins.
RATING - 7/10*
