A Hurried Yet A Decent Actioner!

Hurried rather than being racy, however it has a relatable backstory. Despite being extremely cinematic without any logic, the �Constantly something or the other happening on-screen� factor engages to an extent throughout.(more)

Ajith lords over this H Vinoth-style vigilante film

However, the other actors, including Samuthirakani, remain more or less functional. The film falters mainly with the performances of the actors who play the antagonists with none of them appearing as a threat to Ajith's character, not even remotely. Supreme Sundar's action choreography, too, pushes ...(more)

Ajith stars in a decent heist film that is weighed down by generic tropes

Thunivu is largely entertaining as long as it stays cold and dark, and as long as Ajith walks, dances, and screams like a maniac. The moment it sobers up, it loses its wicked charm. H Vinoth is aware of this, and that�s why there�s a dialogue in the film that goes something to the tune of, �People a...(more)

Swagger Ajith and high-octane blazing action in the first-half are brilliant in Thunivu.

Thunivu has enough in the first half to satisfy Ajith fans and families while the second half could have been handled better comparatively. As of now, the film ends up as a good watch for the festival.(more)

Mediocre Fare

There is no explanation, and certainly no punishment, for the number of dead bodies he leaves behind. There are too many flashbacks and so the continuity of the story is not easy to follow. After a while, the scenes in the bank get repetitive and boring. How long can you look at Ajith sitti...(more)

Thala Ajith Serves His Fans What They Asked For, But If They Make This A Hit Then They Really Deserve This!

All said and done, despite Thala Ajith�s a little exaggerated and gutsy performance, makers fail to cash in on the proper story by falling into their own cliched tropes of 'masala' cinem a.(more)
