Cerbral Actioner that excels
The first thing that 'Thani Oruvan' would do is relinquish the tag 'Remake Raja' from it's maker. While remaking films successfully is no mean feat 'Thani Oruvan' keeps asking us 'Why was this man only remaking all this while?'. The film has us glued right from the start when a teenager flummoxes a ...(more)

Raja, Ravi and Arvind Swami deliver an intense battle of wits in Thani Oruvan
Raja has to be credited for writing a story with a lot of mind games involved. Usage of technology to convey a story with a social message is interesting and works in favor of the film. (more)

Go for it
Thani Oruvan is one of the best films from 'Jayam' brothers. Right from the word go, the film's crisp narrative seldom loosens its grip. You are on the edge of your seat for virtually the entire film and there are no compromises when it comes to unwanted romance, item numbers or comedy tracks. (more)

'Show me your antagonist and I'll tell you how effective your film is'.
And even though it is a plot-driven film, the film gives us well-rounded characters, who lend the slightly far-fetched story plausibility. The film doesn't shy away from showing Mithran for who he actually is � an angry young man whose ideals have turned him into an almost psychotic person. Crime, f...(more)

Jayam Ravi and Arvind Swami excel in a well-etched story by M Raja
While the good versus evil theme may be as old as Adam and Eve, what's new is how director Raja has treated the subject, his screenplay and taut characterisation. The director has etched the roles of Mithran and Siddharth extremely well - while Mithran is strong and ambitious as the police officer, ...(more)

I think the film was mostly driven by its terrific screenplay and performances of the cast especially of Arvind Swamy and 'Mithran' Ravi. Jayam Ravi did much better than Arvind Swamy in some crucial scenes like bug scene and towards the climax. Arvind Swamy also very good.Editing was razor sharp bu... (more)

The feeling you get after watching a good movie when you come out of the theatre. Yes that one. Cop story. Sleek thriller. Great Screenplay. Classy Villain without any punch dialogues, doesn't get angry, doesn't smoke or drink still looks brilliant. Arvind Swami is too good. (more)
