New
Year, new hopes, new beginnings,
and new movies! We have the
first set of releases of this
year, not anything big. Thunichal
starring Arun Vijay, Ramana
and new heroine Shiva Manjal
is a tale of the havoc that
a sadistic mind plays in the
lives of many people. The owner
of the sadistic mind has a very
unique philosophy – what
he cannot get, nobody else should
and the object of his desire
should self destroy. And, when
he fails to get the lady of
his dreams, he cooks up a devious
plan to destroy everything in
her life and drive her to self
destruction. The plan involves
a couple of murders and then
misleading people about who
is responsible for the deaths.
The misled minds then go about
damning each other’s lives.
Does the truth ultimately come
out or does the crookedly cunning
mind get the pleasure of seeing
his plans work? That is what
Thunichal is all about.
First, this is not the way we
wanted 2010 to begin. There
are seldom movies where murdering
has appeared so easy. And then,
the murderer so easily convinces
people that someone has actually
done it. All this seems to happen
in some lawless land where there
is no police or anyone to look
into a murder. Most characters
in the movie seem to believe
in an ‘eye for an eye’
method of life and that is why
they set off to murder each
other without so |

much as a second thought. If any part of
the movie impresses, it has to be the final
few portions which has a couple who feign
love for each other with the real intention
of killing each other with neither of them
having a clue about the other’s ideas.
Arun Vijay seems to be in a lost plot after
his Malai Malai high. But, Ramana impresses
with his cold villainy. Other performances
don’t count for much. Director Majeed,
who also has the story and screenplay to
his credit, must have thought long and hard
about the plot. This one fails to hold the
viewers’ attention right from the
start. The ‘lovers out to kill each
other’ thread could have been better
used to give a few interesting scenes which
would have enhanced the quality of the film.
Technically, there is nothing much that
stands out and music by Premji Amaran fails
to make any sort of impact.
Thunichal is a pretty low way to start 2010
for Kollywood. It looks a jaded and unrefined
product, the type that one won’t be
too pleased to watch. Verdict:
Watch it if you have the ‘Thunichal’
