Thappu Thanda

This is a nicely executed suspense movie. Till the fag end of the movie, you'll keep wondering if the lead character (Vetri) is a double role or not

Vetri comes to his friend's house from his village in search of some job. His friend is working for the MLA and is helping him distribute a huge sum of money to the public before election. Vetri joins a 'Thief Academy' to learn how to steal from people. The students in that academy and Vetri make a plan to swindle the money in transit. Police finds this our and ceases the money. Vetri double-crosses the team, steals the money from the police and escapes.

Miller, the investigating police officer, from whom Vetri stole the money, finds another person who looks exactly same like Vetri so he takes him to station and thrashes him to get him accept the crime. But he repeatedly is able to see from media and other proofs that the captured individual is not Vetri but works in a BPO.

After the court trials, the captured individual is released but the MLA captures Miller and the innocent and has his men kill them

Till this time, viewers think that Vetri and the innocent individual are 2 different people but infact they are one and the same.

The core of the film is that the information or "news" shown in the media can be manipulated and can make public believe something that might not be true.


Verdict: Nicely executed movie. The cast might not have any super-hit people, but the content and execution was very nice. Worth the watch. However, the first half was a bit slow and could have been better.
