Cast: Arun Vijay, Tanya Hope, Vidhya Pradeep
Director: Magizh Thirumeni
When you know the lead character of the movie has a twin, you probably would have predicted it that one would be good and other would be evil. Yes, you are right here as well.
But the director Magizh Thirumeni stops your guessing there. Ezhil and Kavin have different characters, well distinguished by the body language and acting by Arun Vijay. Ezhil is a construction Engineer, drives BMW and is hopelessly in love with Deepika (Tanya Hope). He dreams of marrying and settling down with her. Kavin, on the other hand, is selfish and does all criminal activities for money with the help of Suruli (Yogi Babu).
The movie starts picking up the speed when the murder of an NRI happens. The police under the guidance of Gopalakrishnan (FEFSI Vijayan) find the image of Ezhil (or Kavin) in the mobile phone of the NRI and immediately arrests Ezhil. Twist happens when police also grab Kavin.
Gopalakrishnan hands over the case to his junior Malarvizhi (Vidya Pradeep). With literally zero evidence to identify the criminal between Ezhil and Kavin, Malarvizhi takes up the case and will she succeed and how?
This forms the crux of the story.
Arun Vijay in the dual role has once again proved his acting skills and will remain as the most underrated actor of the industry.
The other actors, especially Vidhya Pradeep played her role to perfection.
The movie has its own set of flaws. Magizh Thirumeni could have avoided the spoon-feeding moments to tell us the difference between the twins. Also, the movie takes time to hit you but the second half, especially the last twenty minutes of the movie makes up for all the flaws.
On the whole, Arun Vijay’s Thadam is a much-eatch thriller, all credits go to Magizh Thirumeni and the entire team.
