Hurried rather than being racy, however it has a relatable backstory. Despite being extremely cinematic without any logic, the Constantly something or the other happening on-screen factor engages to an extent throughout.

Hardcore fans do not have to complain at all. Ajith is in solid form and looks stunning firing those bullets with swag and style on point. Manju Warrier does well too as his partner in crime.

What truly comes through Thunivu is that H Vinoth cares, and I think that augurs well at a time when we could do with braver voices willing to take on oppressiv

Overall, Thunivu has enough in the first half to satisfy Ajith fans and families while the second half could have been handled better comparatively. As of now, the film ends up as a good watch for the festival.

There are too many flashbacks and so the continuity of the story is not easy to follow. After a while, the scenes in the bank get repetitive and boring. How long can you look at Ajith sitting with a machine gun on his lap?

Overall, “Tegimpu” is a total mess up with no storyline, no emotion and no hitting factor. It failed by all means and the film remains as a big thumbs-down in Ajith’s career.

Koimoi · Umesh Punwani

H. Vinoth's story had such a strong potential to be a crackling one throughout but suffers from the second-half syndrome of letting a tight pace go all haywire.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
