movie
review
to
know
what
exactly
does
this
film
has
to
offer.
Thirunaal
Plot:
Jiiva
is
raised
by
a
local
goon,
played
by
Sharath
Lohitashwa,
and
goes
on
to
become
a
menacing
rowdy.
When
he
meets
Nayantara,
he
tries
to
lead
a
reformed
life.
When
his
idea
is
opposed
by
Sharath
Lohitashwa
and
other
gang
members,
Jiiva
decides
to
take
them
on.
A
battle
ensues
and
what
happens
next
forms
the
crux
of
Thirunaal.
Performances:
Jiiva
is
convincing
as
a
notorious
criminal.
His
looks
and
body
language
is
apt
for
the
given
role.
Nayantara,
on
the
other
hand
looks
gorgeous.
But
unlike
her
previous
flicks,
Thirunaal
doesn't
offer
her
much
of
a
scope
to
exhibit
her
acting
prowess.
Karunas
has
bagged
a
crucial
role
and
has
delivered
the
goods.
'Neeya
Naana'
Gobinath,
who
has
played
a
police
officer,
is
a
surprise
addition.
Though
his
screen
space
is
limited,
he
has
managed
to
walk
away
with
accolades.
Technicalities:
With
a
lot
of
clichéd
elements
in
its
storyline,
Thirunaal
could've
gained
a
lot
from
a
pacy
screenplay.
Unfortunately,
that
is
not
the
case
here.
Cinematography
by
Mahesh
Muthuswami
is
the
only
bright
spot
in
the
technical
department
as
he
has
captured
the
rawness
involved
in
rural
based
movies.
Music
by
Srikanth
Deva
fails
to
elevate
certain
scenes.
His
songs
too,
are
tedious
with
'Pazhaya
Soru'
being
an
exception.
Overall
View:
With
poor
execution
and
a
monotonous
screenplay,
Thirunaal
doesn't
have
anything
great
to
offer.
