Revenge Meets Comedy
The most striking aspect of Thirudan Police is the way it keeps things simple and fun. While the basic thread is rather old school that revolves around revenge the film strikingly deviates from the routine through the abundant dash of humour. The hero never turns super heroic. The villains are a scream. The pacing of the film is neat and you hardly have a stretch anywhere that bores you.(more)

The lawful constable is here to Stay!
There is something about this Father-Son relationship! A sense of responsibility, a lasting care and a personal emotion that lingers between! No wonder young directors have started taking this very seriously by penning scripts around this. KediBillaKiladiRanga, SigaramThodu and now Thirudan Police too follows the same line, but each of them uniquely trying to portray this sensitive bond in their own way. Directed by Caarthik, the movie has Attakathi Dinesh in the lead role along with Ishwarya Rajesh, AadukalamNaren, NaanKadavul Rajendran, Bala Saravanan and NitinSatyaa in the lead cast.(more)

A time pass flick which ought to score on mass appeal
Debutante Caarthick Raju arrives on the scene with Thirudan Police, a film which has been made as an ode to fathers. The police force is the script's focal point and constables, in particular, have been portrayed in a realistic manner. The film succeeds in engaging the masses, with a mix of comedy and sentiment, with very few lag moments.(more)

Good
Debutant director Caarthick Raju�s Thirudan Police is a nice fun ride. It is well written comedy entertainer which also has a strong emotional story about the bonding between a father and son. And also an entertaining hide and seek thriller featuring a cop with a vengeance.(more)

A constable seeks revenge for the murder of his father
Thirudan Police screams identity crisis. Like its hero, it doesn�t quite know what it wants to be. Like a thief pursued by cops, it changes directions unpredictably. It starts off hinting at a 7G Rainbow Colony type of love story, where the idle, good-for-nothing Vishwa (Attakaththi Dinesh) woos the new girl in the neighbourhood (Iyshwarya Rajesh). Like the Selvaraghavan film, it explores father-son issues, with the policeman father (yesteryear actor Rajesh) wanting to make something of his son, who for his part is content watching night shows with money stolen from dad�s wallet. Police dad, thirudan son.(more)

The wonders comedy can do
Lately, it's almost impossible to find a Tamil film without comedy. Even if someone makes a full length action film, you're forced to laugh at a few places for reasons even the filmmaker can't explain. But not all filmmakers succeed in using comedy to their strength, but there are exceptions like Nalan Kumarasamy, Karthik Subbaraj, who know exactly how to use it in their films without diluting the core subject.(more)

An entertaining thriller with a smidgen of comedy
For a debut directorial venture, Caarthick Raju�s Thirudan Police is a commendable end product that manages to prop itself up as an entertaining thriller with a smidgen of comedy mixed in. The overall story is rather run of the mill, with the dutiful father (Rajesh) who worships his job as a police officer and the good-for-nothing son Vishwa (Dinesh) who squanders his time in petty foibles. When the father gets KIA, the son is given a spot in the police squad as a constable and a chance at redemption.(more)

Vishwa, an idler, gets the job of his constable father after the latter is killed during a police operation. Will Vishwa, who is glad that his father is dead, go after his dad's murderers?
Thirudan Police wants to be a sentimental story as well as a comedy. The tone is uneven � one moment we are asked to get sentimental and then in the next, we are told to laugh. This is jarring, as is the manner in which the film turns from an emotional father-son tale to a comedy. To the director's credit, he does this with confidence that we begin to enjoy the humour after initially feeling disconcerted. (more)
