Thani Oruvan Movie Review

Cast: Jayam Ravi, Nayanthara, Arvind Swami, Thambi Ramaiah, Nasser, Mugdha Godse, Ganesh Venkatraman, Vamsi Krishna.Direction: Mohan Raja.Genre: Thriller.Duration: 2 hours 39 minutes
Synopsis: An idealistic cop and an ambitious scientist-businessman indulge in a high-stake battle of wits.
Review: For Mithran (Jayam Ravi), the protagonist of Thani Oruvan, a person's friend shows his character while his adversary shows his capacity. Mithran is a young IPS officer whose only goal in life is to find a worthy rival — a kingpin who is the root cause of all other crimes — and destroy him. He meets his match in Siddharth Abhimanyu (Arvind Swami, making a glorious return), an ambitious scientist-businessman, for whom money is all that matters. This is how Mohan Raja sets up the conflict in Thani Oruvan, an efficient thriller, which packs a mighty punch. Raja's films so far have been competent remake efforts, but nothing prepares us for the smart writing (the director has co-written the film with writer duo Suba, whose experience in pulp novels comes in handy as it did earlier this year in Anegan) and the sleek filmmaking we see here.
The plot kicks in once Mithran learns of Siddharth's plan of sabotaging a deal that would result in cheaper medicines for the poor and tries to thwart it without his knowing, but the wily Siddharth manages to succeed.
