Ilayathalapathy Vijay & A.R Muragadoss' Thuppakki

[SenGOEk]

'Tupaaki' attains a positive response from the Telugu audience:

When compared to last year, the Tamil language films, dubbed and released in Telugu could not attain much success this year... even the recent Suriya's 'Brothers' turned out to have...not much response right from the second week after its release...

But, Murugodosss' recent sensation 'Tupaaki' released yesterday, seems to be changing the sentiment... Vijay - Kajal starrer this most stylish flick, that has a message in the story and is most entertaining as well, is grabbing the audience attention... the first day collections of this film are definitely satisfactory... according to the grapevine the crowd to the theaters to watch this film, will tentatively increase this weekend...

Murugodoss's taking stood out to be a highlight and music scores by Harissh Jayraj are entertaining as every time... and to its advantage, there is no other star's film released this festival in T - Town and this makes 'Tupaaki' to attain much more success... Gemini Film Circuit has released this film in Telugu...source andhrawishesh.com

It seems it is the second best opening in Tamil Nadu, next only to Endhiran . Remarkable achievement considering that other movies released on the same day.

Crow's itseems is not true for Tamil Nadu.

Story
Jagadish (Vijay) is a military man who comes to Mumbai on his one month vacation to spend time with his family. A simple search for a stolen purse in a city bus leads to a big terrorist plot. Jagadish realises that things will not be same if police involves in it. He takes the mission of averting bomb blasts in his own hands. He realises that only way to eradicate terrorism is to get to the boss of these sleeper cells and kill him. The rest of the story is all about how he achieves his goal.

Artists Performance
Vijay who is known as a mass hero seem to be putting efforts to get rid of the mass tag. His films Snehitudu (remake of 3 Idiots) and Tupaki are latest examples. His is suave and sophisticated in the role that need brains. He is excellent. Kajal Agarwal is cute just like the way she is in Mr. Perfect film. Jayaram played the role of Vijay’s boss. Satyan who did the ‘Balatkar’ role in Snehitudu has done the role of a cop. He is entertaining. Vidyut Jamwal is exceptionally good as the leader of sleeper cells unit.

Technical department
Story - screenplay - direction: The basic story is about the mind game between a terrorist and a secret agent. Murugadoss comes up with an interesting screenplay that makes you glued to the screen all the time. The interesting aspect in this film is that the hero and villain doesn’t physically meet each other till the climax. And they try to outsmart each other with cold-blooded thinking all the time. To make this film more universal, Murugadoss also added the family angle and romance thread. The romance aspect of the film is also good.

Other departments: Cinematography by Santosh Sivan is of top notch quality. Background music by Harris Jayaraj is good, but tunes for the songs should have been better. Dialogues are neat and editing is crisp. Action sequences' choreography is stylish. This film is made with slick production values.

Analysis
Tupaki is a stylish and slick entertainer. The director has stuck with the main theme and didn’t dilute it for the sake of masala. It is a subject that has pan-India appeal and it’s an intelligent game between two individuals who are working for and against the country. Murugadoss who disappointed us with 7th Sense strikes back with Tupaki. You may watch Tupaki.

OK , I did not realise even Ajay Devgan's movies run in TN

Though i would agree that JTJJ and SOS aren't big attractions in other parts of TN, Chennai is still sizeable for Hindi movies and more importantly the ill-timed release by GFC of Poda-Podi has not done both Thuppakki and Poda Podi any good.

Watched 3rd time @ AGS NAVALUR- FULL 2.40Pm today...

'It seems' BM might be right here as both the figures are from the same source.

With the weekend staring right in front, Thuppakki is well on its way to breaking Billa 2's overalls in a canter.

Not only in Chennai, Hindi movies run good in Coimbatore too...
