A fairly engaging rural drama with a unique premise
Thandatti is a fairly engaging watch � inventive and, at the same time, overly ambitious.(more)

A superb Pasupathy anchors this middling mix of satire and melodrama
Thandatti tries to weave many aspects like the tale of forbidden love, a frenzied family's fight over their mother's treasured belonging and two eventful days in the cop's life. Though the execution could seem all over the place, it certainly has the heart in the right place. Above all, the soul-stirring finale, will, for once, remind us of the most precious gift that we behold; a gift from the one that got away... that will last a lifetime and beyond.(more)

Pasupathy shoulders a partly entertaining, mostly inconsistent drama
The film also showcases the perils of caste, and the purity of love and there�s even a 96-style conversation in the end. Thankfully, filmmaker Ram Sangaiah keeps them all real instead of getting preachy. There�s also a beautiful �life comes to a full circle� angle to the primary cast of the film and the thandatti�s birth and end involving fire is a wonderful allegory to them. The final reveal, in spite of being poignant and heart-touching, opens a new set of questions as the age differences between characters don�t really add up. Despite the film being far from perfect, because of the inconsistent writing, the fewer scenes that work make an impact on us. Thandatti reminded me of Karthi�s line to Narain at the end of Kaithi... �It�s broken, but it�s still gold.�(more)
