Tried
And
Tested
Concept
Thani
Oruvan's
concept
is
not
something
new
to
cinema.
Though
it
may
sound
clichéd,
the
concept
of
good
vs
evil
has
always
found
success,
provided
how
a
filmmaker
decides
to
portray
it.
Prominence
For
Antagonist
The
true
potential
of
a
protagonist
can
be
exposed
only
by
an
antagonist.
This
being
the
case,
a
play
or
a
film
can
be
made
that
much
more
interesting
by
giving
prominence
to
its
villain.
The
makers
of
Thani
Oruvan
have
done
just
that
by
roping
in
Arvind
Swamy
to
portray
the
role
of
a
baddie.
Also,
a
song
has
been
assigned
to
him
glorifying
his
evil
deeds.
Content
Driven
Going
by
the
teaser
and
trailer
of
the
film,
it
looks
like
Thani
Oruvan
is
a
content
driven
project.
Adding
to
that
the
star
value
this
film
boasts
of,
I
can't
think
of
a
reason
why
this
film
should
be
a
box
office
dud.
Hot
Pairs
Talking
about
the
star
value,
Thani
Oruvan
has
a
couple
of
hot
pairs.
While
Jayam
Ravi
will
romance
Nayantara
for
the
first
time
on
the
big
screen,
Arvind
Swamy
has
been
paired
opposite
Hindi
actress
Mugdha
Godse.
Tremendous
Casting
Apart
from
the
lead
pairs,
the
movie
also
houses
some
tremendous
performers
like
Nassar,
Ganesh
Venkatraman,
Sanjana
Singh,
Vamsi
Krishna
and
Thambi
Ramaiah.
Sleek
Visuals
The
visuals
that
was
served
up
in
the
trailer
looked
sleek
and
promising.
If
that
is
what
the
entire
movie
has
to
offer,
we
are
in
for
a
grand
visual
experience.
Good
Music
After
producing
a
winning
album
in
Aambala,
Hiphop
Tamizha
Aadhi
is
back
with
yet
another
solid
album.
Tracks
like
'Theemai
Thaan
Vellum' and
'Kadhal
Cricket'
are
already
catching
the
attention
of
many
and
the
background
score
too
is
expected
to
be
of
high
quality.
Less
Hype
As
mentioned
earlier,
there
are
hardly
any
hype
surrounding
the
movie
and
that
might
be
a
blessing
in
disguise
for
Thani
Oruvan.
Strong
Technical
Crew
With
Ramji
of
Paruthiveeran
and
Mayakkam
Enna
fame
handling
the
camera
and
V
Gopikrishna
taking
care
of
the
editing,
the
movie
boasts
of
a
strong
technical
crew.
Also,
since
it
is
being
bankrolled
by
AGS
Entertainment,
good
production
value
is
also
expected
from
Thani
Oruvan.
Bankable
Director
And
last
but
certainly
not
the
least,
this
film
has
a
bankable
director.
Though
M
Raja
has
largely
taken
up
'safe
scripts'
so
far
in
his
career,
the
filmmaker
sure
knows
how
to
deliver
a
hit
movie
which
might
come
into
play
at
the
end
of
the
day.
