Sleek but with few thrills

Debutant Rajesh has made a sleek film without any compromises.The first half whizzes past and the tension nicely builds up. But the night seems to get really long in the second half.(more)

Unlimited action guaranteed.

Thoongavanam doesn't quite fall in the suspense category; rather it's more of a raw gritty action drama that chugs on with the help of a strong edge of the seat screenplay. (more)

There are thrills and surprises worth experiencing in this Thoongavanam

If one has to complain, it must be about the slight slow pace of the movie. On the whole, Thoongavanam, though looks to be a long night, is a happening one! (more)

This Kamal Haasan-Trisha starrer is more Hollywood than Kollywood

It's an action thriller that stays true to its genre and a good break from the regular Kollywood films. It has no song and dance, romance or masala. It's a slick, well-made film that takes you through the course of what happens over one night to one man. (more)

An okay thriller, with goodies for fans

It s a revolving-door thriller, with a breathless series of entries and exits. But for a while, the smoothness of the writing (note the invisible nature of Sampath s introduction) doesn t translate to screen. The rhythms are stiff, the pauses in the dialogues seem a few seconds off, the humour l...(more)

Thoonga Vanam is worth a watch

Director Rajesh has chosen not to stray from the crux of the story. There are no songs to mar the narrative nor does he waste time on unnecessary emotions. But there is plenty of humour to keep you entertained. (more)

A worth watching movie. As usual ulaganayagan has stolen the show and also watch out fr the superb performances by Trisha ,Prakash Raj and others especially the little boy.

I think the movie is immensely watchable but still some minus points are there.One being the pacing in second half and other being some dialogues/comedy which does not click much. (more)

Ramesh Kannan S

Thoongavanam, neatly made thriller with slight pace issues and movie has little awe-inspiring moments like Kitchen fight sequences, dialogues. Technical wise music and DOP is brilliant. Apart from Kamal and Trisha, other major characters are not utilized fully. Though individually they did their par... (more)

Gowtham Viswanath

Thoongaavanam, the remake of Nuit Blanche, hadn't reached out to that Original. With few unaffecting and unimpressive changes done to the Screenplay, Kamal Sir fails delivering the connecting factor. Though not bad for a debut the Director couldn't do justice to the Original. As for other works, the... (more)
