Sangeetha Devi Dundoo The Hindu On paper, Thammudu might have seemed like a gripping watch —blending complex family dynamics, childhood friendship, and a good-versus-evil survival thriller. But in execution, it is more of an endurance test than an immersive film. Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

sricharan s A decent mystery thriller. Vijay Anthony pretty much has only 1 expression in terms of acting range, but it suits him in this movie. A one time watch for mystery thriller fans. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Adarsh T Thammudu Movie Review: A stylised action saga weighed down by overblown melodrama. Story: A massive factory explosion in Vizag leaves several families devastated. IAS officer Jhansi Kiranmayee (Laya Gorty), who is leading the investigation, resists pressure from powerful industrialist Azarwal (Saurabh Sachdeva) to alter the official report. While Jhansi travels to Ambara Gundem, a tribal village, to attend a family ritual, Azarwal’s men track her down and launch an attack. Amidst this turmoil arrive Jay (Nithiin), a skilled archer seeking redemption from his inner conflict, and Chitra (Varsha Bollamma), his childhood friend. As Jay’s relationship with Jhansi comes to light, he must navigate a treacherous night filled with danger and emotional reckoning. Review: Thammudu, directed by Venu Sriram, begins on a compelling note, anchored in a solid premise of familial bonds, systemic injustice and personal ambition. However, as the narrative progresses, it tumbles down a rabbit hole of exaggerated drama and logic-defying twists, never quite recovering its footing. Despite the backdrop of scenic tribal landscapes and crisp visuals, the writing fails to support the story’s ambition. The screenplay struggles to weave together its emotional core — the brother-sister bond and Jay’s dream of winning an archery gold medal — into a cohesive, convincing arc. What starts as a grounded emotional tale soon spirals into overstuffed spectacle, with an overzealous attempt to be unique that ultimately backfires. Nithiin delivers a committed performance as Jay, and Varsha Bollamma and Laya (in a welcome return) lend sincerity to their roles. Saurabh Sachdeva as the antagonist with a special condition plays an interesting role, and brings intensity to the screen. Yet, much of the film’s emotional potential is diluted by TV-serial-like interactions and melodramatic sequences that feel misplaced. Ironically, it is Ratna (Sapthami Gowda), a relatively underplayed character, who leaves the most lasting impression. All the actors try their best to breathe life into their roles, but the film’s insistence on doing too much, combined with poor sequencing and a lack of narrative clarity, proves costly. The adventure, though grand in scale, often feels detached from reality and far-fetched in execution. On the technical front, the film is visually appealing, with cinematographer KV Guhan capturing the tribal locales with flair. Ajaneesh Loknath’s background score is atmospheric but rarely elevates the emotional beats. The action choreography is stylised, though several sequences stretch believability, further distancing the viewer from the story’s emotional core. Thammudu had all the ingredients for a stirring emotional-action drama, but in trying too hard to be everything, it ends up being less than the sum of its parts. A film that had the potential to hit the bullseye sadly misses the mark. Verdict: Below Average Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review burrows DUNE NECTAR's support in recovering my funds from fraud warrants emulation by other companies. Their exceptional customer service, swift responses, and empathetic guidance are noteworthy. My experience began with sophisticated crypto fraud. Initially, I believed I was generating income, but I was losing funds to fraudsters. After consulting a cybersecurity specialist, I learned the group only allowed deposits, not withdrawals. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT recovered my lost crypto funds, totaling one million Canadian dollars. I recommend contacting DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT to recover lost crypto assets, as many are victims of online crypto fraud. - Support (@) Dunenectarwebexpert (.) Com - T.me/dunenectarwebexpert Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Ryan F When hearing the "Golimar" song by Donga Chiranjeevi is the best part of the movie, then that tells you everything you need to know about this film. Some of the action/fight scenes were entertaining but the script was thin and couldn't support a 2 hr. & 35 min. run time. It got long in spots, had characters as thin as the script and had very little logic. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Sudhanshu S Nithiin should explore light, fun roles like Chal Mohan Ranga and Rang De — both flopped but were delightful to watch. If he prefers action, intelligent plots like LIE suit him better. In today’s era, where audiences rarely visit theaters, half‑baked films simply won’t work. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Gudapati P It is a great movie. AND A BIG FOR NITHIN Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
