Thuppaki, an awesome movie ! Vijay's bold and charismatic appearance drives us crazy :) :) Scenes were perfectly scripted and doesn't bore us anywhere, except the Vennilavae song. Dialogues were evenly poised and fits impeccably. Stunts !! Vj has given his best and the best ever, with reduced Gun shots and using knives & muscles also.

Murugadoss, as a director, achieves better than his previous movies Santosh Sivan's Cinematography brings delight and freshness. Harris Jayaraj's BGM and songs were rocking on screen and stylishly made, Kajal, the charming lady, molds with Vj perfectly, Vidyut, as a sleeper cell head, portrays manliness superbly, and Overall its Illayathalapathy Vijay who deserves the applaud for an wholesome entertainer.

Thuppaki is a 'must watch' movie and I Luv to watch it again..

First of all hats off to A.R. Murugadoss for his wonderful direction and shaping Vijay into a new dimension and a super meaningful movie. Vijay->

Vijay has given life to the character as Captain Jagdish. He looks too stylish and he has carried the movie right from the beginning till the end. He is so comfortable and he admires a lot with his stylish dialogue deliveries and peppy dance moves. Vijay has found a new avatar with this movie. Kajal->

Kajal looks so cute and embarrassing. She portrayed her character very well and proved to worth her character as the female lead. She has also danced well with Vijay. Vidyut->

A villain who should be in a Hollywood. Mind-blowing performance by him and the scenes between him and Vijay are the highlights. Technicians->

Santosh sivan has proved his legendary work again. He has showed a pleasant mumbai to the audience. Background score is well used in the movie by Harris. Every frame is credited for its technical value. Drawbacks->

Songs should have visualized much better. Alaikaa laikaa, google google looks good.. Others doesn't found new to the viewers... The screenplay of the movie which is very racy slows down a bit after the Antarctica song. Highlight->

Vijay targeting the 12 sleeper cell with 12 men is speechless. The interval block portraying the dialogue- I'm waiting and the climax scene dialogues looks for a high standard. Verdict---10/10 Vijay---10/10 Kajal--8/10 ARM--10/10 Santosh Sivan--10/10

Bottomline--> A thoughtful movie with high standard with a mass hero in the lead for a sure hit.

If you come to watch this film for Vijay or ARM or Harris or Santosh or Vidyut. The result is you will return home with an idea of Watching it again. I watched FDFS at 5:00 am in Velan theater in Nanganallur. I saw not only ardent fans but also families who came to watch this film with so much interest. Well you can see this only Vijay movies after Rajini.

Now what about this "Thuppakki"??? Is it fighting for terrorism? or Vijayism? or Patriotism?. One word for ever thing is "Sacrifice". Yes this film tells how an army officer would be in border or with his family, he should not back step for sacrifice. He must be alert and cautious and he must work not only with his muscle but also mind.

The plot: Jagdish(Vijay) who is an Army officer returns home for a vacation to his family. But his family decides to make him get married. But he rejects Nisha(Kajal). Soon he discovers a bombing plot which makes assails whole Mumbai. Then rest of the story how he gets the leader and master mind behind this plot.

Vijay with his unique style of acting excels well in this role. He has stunning physique and active gestures makes fit to the role of Secret Agent. Whether its humor,action,sentiment he delivers with ease and no doubt its one of the best performance of Vijay as all rounder in recent times. Kajal looks mesmerizing with her eyes and dance moves. She is lovable. Satyan supports well the story and his final lines on end of the movie gives kudos to whole Indian Army. Vidyut the brain of sleeper cells made huge impact with his cunning plots and problem solving skills in making quick decisions. His martial background adds extra ARM's intelligent screen play and the execution was so brilliant. We can see as he so cautious in screen play after his box office debacle Ezham arivu. Harrish music is so peppy and everything shot well with Santhosh sivan's cinematography especially "GOOGLE GOOGLE" and "Kutti puli kootam". BG score is major plus point in this film and thanks to Harrish Jayaraj.

So over all this film is best of recent times and its sure winner of Deepavali. If you are a Vijay fan nor ARM fan nor any one, you will watch this film and enjoy with a salute to Indian army.

My over all rating for this film is 10/10

Among all the 54 movies including Thuppakki, this one stands separate as the best performer. Poove Unakaga, Kadhaluku Mariyadhai, Ghilli were huge turning points in Vijay's career and set new benchmarks. And now Vijay has put himself into more trouble by raising the bar higher in Thuppakki.

For second movie in a row Vijay's name came after the movie name, which in my view is good and the title cards was good, showing different places in Mumbai.

A decent introduction song, Kutti Puli Kootam but the next song, Antartica came rather quickly and chilled me a lot. I never finished listening Alaika Laika song but in my view that was the best choreographed song in the movie. Google Google meets expectation, Vennilave okayyy, poi varava was heart touching.

The movie flows well in first 20 mins with the regular hero heroine introduction comedies. As soon as antartica song is over, movie enters main story and rest is just THE GAME. A game with thrill, ideas, lot of smartness, team work and the Gun.

Interval block amazing, Vijay's Hindi superb, stunning camera-work, enthralling background score, pacy editing, perfect climax with a touching end :)

Kajal satisfies with her role, Vidyut is smart, Jayaram was too good in his comedies and Ilayathalapathy Vijay was just the best in his career, with his attitude driven performance.

Undoubtedly to be the biggest hit in Vijay's Career... Thank you thalaiva :)

High Energy Action Movie. Thuppakki is an action thriller movie revolving around a youngster from a Mumbai-based Tamil family and his decisions he takes after his life undergoes a sudden turn.

CASTING-10 MUSIC-8 TECHNICAL WORKS-10 DIRECTION-10

Thupakki, the much awaited Vijay-murugadoss combo hit the screens yesterday and luckily I got a ticket for a early morning special screening at a local multiplex. Right from the first frame, Vijay mesmerizes the audience with his sleek looks and awesome style. A big thumbs up to his costume designer who has done the job with utmost care.

The strength of the movie lies in the flawless screenplay and dialogues by murugadoss. The Cat and mouse game between the protagonist and villain has been scripted immaculately. Especially the scene before intermission and climax got electrifying response in the theater.

Vijay seems more mature on the screen and his scenes involving kajal and satyan cracks up the audience. Actions sequence seems more vivid and dynamic in Santhosh sivan's camera who has once again showed the world that he has not won the national awards for nothing. Harris Jayaraj has done a commendable job with his BGM score and it makes some scenes even more striking. Songs are good and murugadoss has taken a special care in choosing the locations for it. Especially Vennilave song's backdrop is mindblowing. Though Kajal agarwall didn't have a big role to play,she along with sathyan and Jayaram provide comic relief at regular intervals.

One more person who if not mention here would be unfair is editor Sreekar Prasad. He has chiseled the movie perfectly and the audience doesn't feel like a watching a movie that is almost 3hrs. Villain Vidyut Jamwal robust and does a laudable job. He has portrayed a character who is brainy and evil.

On the downside the romance track between Vijay and Kajal is Clichéd. Even though songs are good, the situations they appear are not relevant.

On the whole Thupakki is a racy entertainer that keeps you hooked till the end. It is one of the Vijay's best movie in the recent times. With Nanban already a hit and now along with thupakki 2012 is surely belongs to Ilayathalapathy.

Wow wow wow are the three words striking my mind after coming out of theater. you are well guaranteed with entertainment, patriotism and bits of romance. Satyan performed well . Jayaram as cameo done his part well

Kajal did well .

The positive notch in this film is camera by the great Santhosh Sivan . His angles and positioning were awesome. Especially an action block before interval .

The main reason for this movie is obviously AR MURUGADOSS. He again proved he is a good script writer . His pen worked hard in the simple story with many twists .

Vijay carries the story in his shoulders throughout the movie .He performed well . A new hair style and mannerisms worked well .

Positives:

Vijay Script and screenplay Camera Google Google Vidhyut

Negtaives:

Background score Wasting Jayaram

Thuppakki My Review : (This Is Definitely One Of The Best Movies Of 2012 And A Landmark Movie FOR Vijay After Ghilli And Pokkiri)

A completely refreshing movie for Vijay . Brilliant efforts from everyone especially AR Murugadoss, Vijay and Santhosh Sivan. good screen play and superb cinematography did all good to the film. CAST: Vijay : He has done a good job and is totally different from all his films. his expressions are really nice. and all his dialogues including the Hindi lines were greeted with whistles :) Kajal : She has a very little scope in the movie and just comes to create refreshment in the movie.. but she was as usual cute and hot :) Vidyut : he has done a fantastic job and he suited his role very well!! he was just awesome Satyan : he has done his job really well wherever he got chance.. timely dialogues was good and ,and everyone laugh. Jayaram : he was good .. but had little scope in this movie.. overall Cast rating will be : 8/10

Story: Story was nicely scripted ARM.. though it didn't go in a fast pace, the story was nicely taken towards the end..a i ll give story a 8.5/10

Direction and Cinematography: ARM has done a brilliant screenplay in this movie. He has taken the story in a interesting and a gripping way.. Santhosh Sivan was extraordinary with his cinematography and every scene was shown beautifully.. Overall i'll give them a 9/10

Music: The main drawback of the movie is the songs.. Songs were a big letdown expect Google Google.. many people went out during songs which were so boring.. The theme of thuppakki was very good and BGM in the climax was nice.. I ll give Harris 6/10 .

Hi Guys!!!

First thing to say- This film is the precious gift from ARM to the soldiers who save us even without knowing our face.

Vijay(Hero)-> Found another Action Block as an Actor.Stylish,New look,Perfect comfort level,of-course best dance.

Kajal Agarwal(Heroine) -> An ow-some heroine who could have been utilized even better in the film.Again superb appearance throughout the film,perfect carryover & good dancing.

ARM(Director) -> Satisfied each and every one in the seats.All the best 4 his future stories.

The story is again a thriller which tells about an secret agent(Captain Jagdeesh) who comes to his native and finds an unexpected bomb blast and runs towards the theme behind it.Brilliant thinking of the character makes him to find the way to face the villain(Vidyut).The best dialogue delivery and camera work increases the flow of the film.

Highlights - Story-line,Mass Hero,Heroine,Villain,Visualization

Could have done better - Songs,comedy

All the best to each and every participants in the film to attain a great success.

First things first, Vijay has never been revered as a hero of the multiplex crowds.

For someone with terrific track record in the box office compared to all his peers, Vijay is subjected to needless, unfair and unruly criticism by a dedicated minority especially in the social networking space where calling yourself a fan of a good looking actor is seen as an added incentive to gain attention. Some budding small actors also join the bandwagon to use the good looking hero's name to gain popularity.

But wait!!!

Have the efforts of the dedicated minority and some cheap actors paid dividends? Have they been able to make any impact on Vijay's Box-office prowess?

The answer is a resounding NOOOOOO!!!!! The reason is, no matter what the social network says, Vijay is the most consistent and bankable star in the Tamil Industry for good part of last 15 years. Vijay has the largest fan following of all actors in his generation and truly is the Man of the Masses.

The Illayathalapthy is back with a resounding bang with Thuppakki!!!!

In what can be truly said as a resounding slam 'straight to the face' for all who undermined him, Vijay absolutely thrills in Thuppakki.

The movie is also a comeback of sorts for the director and A.R. Murugadoss has sketched a character that promises to turn both his and Vijay's career around. Thuppakki is all about the life of Major Jagdeesh and his encounter with a dreaded head of the sleeper cells network in Mumbai,Vidyut Jamaal.

Vijay enthralls in all areas of Action,Dialogue Delivery,Comedy and Dance and once again proves that @37 he is the fittest and the most energetic hero around. Vijay take a bow!!!!

The technical aspects of the movie w.r.t. Camera by Santhosh Sivan,Editing by Sreekar Prasad and Music by Harris Jayaraj are all top notch. Special mention should be made regarding the background score by Harris, World Class!!!!!

With Thuppakki's resounding success,Vijay has once again proved that he is second only to Rajnikanth with respect to fan following and market value. Thuppakki will always remain an important feather in Vijay's cap and a movie close to the heart for all this fans.

Surely, this is the first of many to come for the Ilayathalapathy and this movie has done its bit to stop the unfair treatment for Vijay in the social networking space. Vijay fans look a lot confident in facing up against unfair ridicule and criticism.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay is here to stay and rule!

Thuppakki the best big hero film in last say five years, best Vijay movie since Pokkiri, and better movie than ghilli and pokkiri put together. Here is why the movie works perfectly, a script not custom made for Thalapathy, thanks to ARM for first writing the script and then choosing the actor, so he has created a role which Vijay can only do because the hero is required to do just about everything crack a comedy, be cool, be stylish, fight, romance and dance all one after the other. No actor in the same stature of thalapathy can actually do dat, one has to be a pure bred commercial hero for this film, and he is the one. If someone comes and says someone else can do this better than him then they don't know what they are talking about because one can excel at one and not excel at another. Pure bred blockbuster. The Story and Screenplay, ARM has woven a very intricate and intelligent story and has executed really well. Lot has been said about the cineatographer Santosh Sivan, I am a mere mortal to talk about this legend, I cant see anyone else providing the movie with such shots, which really helped the movie. The music even though the songs are average, Harriss scored in the BGM department, he excels it to the core, because they showcase the actor as stylish, cool and intelligent. The movie provides everything it promised and more. Intelligent, fast paced, witty and a whole lot of awesomeness......Watch it to redeem of the disappointing big hero movies this year. Pure Bred Blockbuster and the 2nd blockbuster of the year 2012 for Vijay and tamil cinema

THUPPAKKI - worth your time nd penny

STORY- Military man capt Jagadish reaches Mumbai to spend his holidays with family and friends, unexpectedly he witnesses a bomb blast and decides to find the one responsible for it, and during this mission he comes to know about sleeper cells their notorious plans, Jagadish destroys their plans and decides find and kill their leader.

CHEERS - ARM once again proved himself, first credit goes to ARM, story is simple well written nd the screenplay is awesome and brilliant casting and technical team

VIJAY wow ilayathalapathy what a changeover from colorful shirts and punch dialogs to stylish looks and matured acting don't know why he didn't choose such films previous years, vijay carries the movie from starting to end with his power-pack performance. VJ proves himself in dialog deliveries, stunts, dance etc ilayathalapathy 10/10 in all aspects.

KAJAL suits best in Nisha role and does a decent job.

VIDHYUT one of the best bad guy to Tamil industry, plays his role perfect and very matured in acting. (thank god finally Tamil villains also started to prove they are brainy instead of just having ten people around and always planning for a physical attack on hero and getting caught)

CINEMATOGRAPHY is awesome, cant be expressed in words better find out yourself gives a fresh look to movie. last but not the least songs and bgm by Harris is brilliant.

LOWFLYERS - could have improvised comedy scenes, jayram's role could have been used better, feel's movie is draggy at few places but That doesn't stops THUPPAKKI from being the best action flick of the year.

Fast paced, taught, well written and acted action thriller. Waiting fora sequel. Vijay's performance is a revelation and the well paced direction and script is outstanding. It really redefines the action thriller genre in Tamil Cinema. None of the genre tropes are present, and the story ebbs and flows with such logic and ease. If every script that entered the Tamil film industry was at least half this standard, the quality of Tamil cinema would be world renowned and tenfold what it is today. Similar styled to Vishwaroopam, John Wickand the upcoming Thoongavanam, and maybe Yennai Arindhal, it should be revered more as an action classic. I hope Murgadoss and Vijay do team up again, Kaththi was a good but a tad of a misfire due to several shoehorned sequences, and AR Murgadoss needs to rein together the same creative team that made this movie, and plan and perfectly execute a taut sequel that would further the storyline along the lines a Bond or Mission Impossible movie. I do want to see Vijay, or rather Jagdish Dhanapal, to go against another worthy, I say again WORTHY adversary for this next film.

After a long time watched a movie with patriotic theme. Big applause to intelligent screenplay which is simply brilliant. Vijay is fantastic as Captain Jagdish. The subtle change in expressions and body language in camouflaging his working mind as per the situation is well portrayed. At the same time presenting himself as emotional family person as well as a cold-blooded ruthless interrogator is awesome.Cinematography is picturesque. However, role of heroine is limited to glamor factor. In fact few scenes involving her seemed forceful. Background score blends well with the situation. This is a must watch movie for entertaining and thrilling plot.

The Gun has fired loud and sharp... After days spent in front of the Laptop, I got tickets to see Thuppaki The story is based on the intelligence, skills and toughness that a military man possesses and it also depicts the sacrifices that he has to make for his country's well being. Thanks to a brilliantly flawless and logical direction by Murugadas AR , the movie never loses its pace. He has done an excellent job to ensure that the movie does not go too serious and also that it does not go too romantic... Kaajal looks gorgeous and does her part to perfection. Vijay with his timing comedies does not fail to bring laughter to the house.

The last ten minutes before the first half is absolutely mind blowing and it was certainly hair raising, not just because I am a fan of his, but because, I am also an Indian. Jagadish (Vijay) is sharp even under stressful situations and comes out as a clear winner, in the war against terror. Good editing and excellent BGM scored by Harris. Songs are wonderfully choreographed and the locations are exotic. The climax is ultimate and Jagadish proves that he is smarter than his enemies, actually, the Nation's enemies.

To sum it up, a perfect diwali feast for the families and his Fans, don't miss it :)

As soon as the movie started, within 15 minutes of screening, I was able to figure it out that this movie is going to be great. The movie overall is the best & mass movie for Dr. Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay up to date.

Vijay's intro in this movie is far more classic & better than his previous movies. As a military man role, you could see Vijay's hard work in building his body at the introduction scene. The movie goes on pretty smooth and normal, accompanied by Vijay's funny relation with Kajal Agarwal. I felt that Vijay made the audience laugh more than what Satyan in this film.

The movie heats up when Jagadish (Vijay) catches a terrorist who bombs a public bus. Then he sets himself on the mission of capturing the entire terrorists gang behind this. Vidyut Jamwal, the villain of Thuppaki has a brilliant future. He has showed himself as a fearful villain of all time.

On his mission, there are various twists that happens. The way that Jagadish finds where her sister has been kidnapped was mind blowing. The climax also has a twist. We, all the audiences thought something was gonna happen but eventually, it didn't. The intermission scene of the Movie was the most "wow" factor in my opinion.

Now, all the songs were good. "Google Google", "Alaikala laika", & "Kutti puli" was the best of them. However, none of the songs had heavy steps for Vijay which indeed was a small disappointment for me.

And finally, I conclude my review by saying that this movie "Thuppaki" is going to help Vijay reach great heights. A great team work which we all can realize while watching the movie. This movie will be considered to be the best movie for Vijay up to date. I definitely recommend this movie for all.

A riveting tale of an Army Captain who takes on the terrorists in his hometown when on a vacation, Thuppakki is sure to kindle the patriot in you.

But for the usual commercial elements like the opening song for the hero and unnecessary romantic sequences, the film is a gripping edge of the seat thriller.

The bane of Indian Cinema's screen play, the songs play spoilsport in this film too. The damage is more pronounced because the songs and the situations in which they appear are a let down. If only the director, AR Murugadoss had the galls to remove the useless romantic scenes and songs, the film would have got the distinction of being the best action film of the past 10-15 years in Tamil Cinema.

Still, the film is a treat to the average film goer in Tamil Nadu. The pre-interval sequence where the 12 hunters become the hunted stand out. Using his own sister as bait for the terror kingpin shows how much dedicated and confident the lead character is. The climax, many have observed, is not as good as the other parts of the film - but for me it was as good as any and Vijay's acting in that scene. Just wow!! This man knows how to act manly alright.

Vijay's best action film till date excepting Gilli and that is because the romance part is a sore thumb for the film.

Written and directed by A.R.Murugadoss, "Thupakki" tells us the story of an army man who takes up the mission of eradicating the sleeper cells in Mumbai. He does it almost single-handedly with style and panache, brawn and brain, Tamil movie style. A.R.Murugadoss is back to his old form dishing out an engaging story with almost racy screenplay aided by a best technical team and above all Vijay, that one man entertainment troop.

Movie is not without its share of flaws and logical loopholes, as does many great makers' movies are. But what make them click is that they are masters in camouflaging these flaws by a racy narration which leaves the viewers not that much time to think while you are watching the movie. Here A.R.Murugadoss succeeds in doing the same. He flounders in the romantic portion which is marginally better than his previous very dreary "7 am Arivu". But there few enjoyable portions in between also.

There are at least two or three "wow!" moments in the movie which sure would bring goose bumps in most of the viewers. Pre-interval portion is one of the best adrenaline rush scenes in recent times. Another one which warrants mentions is when Vijay emerges out of smoke after shooting one of the terrorists to save the kidnapped girls. These scenes along with the racy screenplay would ensure success. Also the heroism in this movie is not engineered but appears along the flow of the script.

Dialogues are another strong point in the movie. There are many hard- hitting dialogs that extol the Indian army and the sacrifices of the army men. Also there are couple of enjoyable humorous dialogs coupled with Vijay's excellent comic timing that rocks the theater.

Technically it is one of the best Vijay movies. Santhosh Sivan needs no praise for this movie is like child's play for the great man. His candid shots especially are noteworthy. Srikar Prasad's editing is another astounding aspect of the movie. It is not all racy, where there is need for the pace to slow down he does it with proficiency.

Vijay is excellent in a very casual portrayal of an army man accidentally caught in a mission. His body language, Hindi and English diction, comic timing, agility in action sequences and subtle acting makes it one of the best work from him in the recent times next to "Nanban". Kajal Agarwal is gorgeous and dances well, though in terms of acting she has nothing much to do. Vidyut Jamwal is excellent, he is more of a Hero material than Villain though he has done a very good job here. Jayaram and Sathyan lend good support.

Harris Jayaraj's background score is one of his best in recent times. It makes sure that right amount of adrenaline rush happens in the most crucial of moments in the movie. "Google google" and "Kutti puli kootam" are awesome dance numbers while "Vennilave" is a delectable melody. "Antartica" is picturized interestingly while "Alaika laika" has good dance movements. "Poivarva" is a heart-rending number rightly placed.

Agreed there are few moments in the movie that slackens the flow but the larger picture satisfies the audience to a great deal. May be the songs may irritate a few, but when you have a proficient dancer like Vijay, gorgeous damsel like Kajal and above all awesome songs from Harris Jayaraj why wouldn't anyone have songs in their movies.

On the whole, 2012 would be remembered as the year in which all the big stars of Tamil cinema fell by the wayside except for this one man, Vijay who has hit bull's-eye not once but twice.

A completely refreshing movie for Vijay . Brilliant efforts from everyone especially AR Murugadoss, Vijay and Santhosh Sivan. good screen play and superb cinematography did all good to the film. CAST:

Vijay : He has done a good job and is totally different from all his films. his expressions are really nice. and all his dialogues including the Hindi lines were greeted with whistles Kajal : She has a very little scope in the movie and just comes to create refreshment in the movie.. but she was as usual cute and hot Vidyut : he has done a fantastic job and he suited his role very well!! he was just awesome Satyan : he has done his job really well wherever he got chance.. timely dialogues was good and ,and everyone laugh. Jayaram : he was good .. but had little scope in this movie.. overall Cast rating will be : 9/10

Story: Story was nicely scripted ARM.. though it didn't go in a fast pace, the story was nicely taken towards the end..a i ll give story a 8.5/10 Direction and Cinematography: ARM has done a brilliant screenplay in this movie. He has taken the story in a interesting and a gripping way.. Santhosh Sivan was extraordinary with his cinematography and every scene was shown beautifully.. Overall i'll give them a 9/10

Why I said it is the oppsite for Maattrran because no matter both movies are action thriller, Thupakkki is more thrilling from the start to the ending ,while Maattrran thrilling part starts in the middle. I still like Mattrraan but now I think Thupakkki can win over Maattrran or go the same level. The ending was more scary and thrilling for me because vijay was mentioning before the climax that he have to sacrifice himself with the terrorist group. I was upset because I was a vijay fan and I never see him die. I was crying like a baby. Finally,he must escape the plan. I am not going to spoil the ending a lot but this is one of the best thrilling ending ever in Tamil cinema industry.

THUPPAKKI - A near perfect entertainment by Director ARMurugadoss and Vijay combo. The movie is a very-well-Sculptured entertainer which would cater the needs of all audience type. Vijay sizzles right from he beginning of the movie till the end and carries the responsibility with ease as usual. Kaajal Agarwal's role could have been better. The same for Sathyan too. Expected a lot from him after NANBAN. The pre interval and the post interval action scenes are THE BEST action sequence at least for this year. VIJAY at his best to be precise. Santosh Sivan's cinematography is STUNNING. The small logical flaws are overshadowed by the RACY screenplay.

Overall, A comeback movie for ARMurugadoss and a déjà vu victory for Ilayathalapathy Vijay.

Vijay, he looks ever youthful and the V shape that he so painstakingly maintains looks even more tight and muscular in Thuppakki. His prowess at dance and fights is well-known and Murugadoss has packaged and presented the movie perfectly in sync with Vijay's skills at commercial cinema. While on the one hand, Jagdish is a brainy guy who uses the Rubik's cube and his apple laptop to decode maps, on the other hand, his brawny side is also prominent thanks to his blazer, glares and a stylish gait. The pre-interval scenes with the twelve sleeper cells and the fight scenes with a sniffer dog in tow in the second half are a royal treat for Vijay fanatics. The star's comfort level with Hindi and English makes his character as an urban Mumbai Thamizhan appear more genuine and real.

To wrap it up, Thuppakki should turn out to be a hugely profitable venture for the makers and a rewarding experience for the audience. The last dialog, about Army men living in tough conditions for 11 months based on the memories of their short vacation, makes Thuppakki's intentions of being an ode to the Army, a commendable one.

As this movie boomerangs into the much eager Vijay fans bogged down by flurry of stereotyped failures after Pokkiri, and amidst great hype with the boost of Murugadoss direction and Harris' music, it gives a solid character portrait for VJ who sticks to it and delivers it impeccably. Kajal has appeared pretty as always, though not pivotal has done a revolving role around VJ bringing out the funny side of the seriously thoughtful military man. Comedy has worked partially well in the counters with the curious police friend Sathyan, and marginally better with Jayaram. Vidyut has done a fairly good job and reflects Murugadoss' elegant tailoring of the villain sketch. The dialogs (translated into English on my own, could not be brought out better than original language)"his brother joined military on the 14th day", "if he is ready to sacrifice himself in killing 1000 why cant we lose ourselves in the mission of saving those 1000?" "dont you have the habit of stuffing clothes inside your almirah?" "because even a porn star does not like you" "just lose your life in the suspense" evoked different emotions but all of them received thunderous applause and whistles. In all, the movie is easily the best Tamil movie in this Genre for quite a few years. And to all my Muslim friends and Pakistani friends, We all know "just because most terrorists are Muslims, does not mean all Muslims are terrorists", and the movie does not do racial profiling, please do not get hurt..

Murugadoss Squeezed Vijay's acting. Vijay lived up in th erole of encounter specialist. This is going to be his best out put after Nunbun.

Kajal Aggarwal has done fair enough on her part. she is gorgeous in songs.

Jayaram Vidyut Jamwal,Sathyan, all others have done justice to their roles. Vijay has a huge loyal fan base and they will ensure an earth-shattering opening. Thuppakki title issue had kept the movie under the radar for a few months until out-of-court settlement was reached with Kallathuppakki team. Vijay's fans never let that controversy impact the movie. They have taken care of keeping the hype up even during the down periods.

A.R.Murugadoss' films have been big hits in the past even though his last outing 7aum Arivu received mixed reviews. Director AR Murugadoss had been working on Thuppakki's script after the completion of Ghajini (Tamil). He was ready to begin shooting with Akshay Kumar even prior to 7aum Arivu. We can look forward to a complete entertainer from him.

AR Murugadoss' movies have always boasted of slick technical values; Thuppakki will not be an exception. Four times National Award winning Cinematographer and Director Santhosh Sivan will be a major asset to the film.

Harris Jayaraj's 'Google Google' sung and danced by Vijay along with cutesy Kajal have created the right level of buzz ahead of release.
