The Good and the Bad of 'Thudarum'

The transition from a calm narrative to a thriller is enjoyable. Many scenes were predictable, yet the film maintained its grip. The absence of unnecessary dialogues and excessive action scenes adds to its strength. However, the lack of a sharp screenplay like 'Drishyam' is a letdown. The second half feels lengthy and drags.

'Thudarum' on OTT

Unlike 'Drishyam,' which focused on intelligence, this film is action-packed. Malayalam film enthusiasts won't be disappointed. However, those accustomed to Tamil and Telugu action sequences might find it testing their patience. The film is now streaming on Jio Hotstar, available in Tamil as well.
