Latha Srinivasan Hindustan Times Pa Ranjith's film is intertwined with some fantasy and mystical realism. A must watch for Vikram fans. Aug 16, 2024 Full Review M Suganth The Times of India The magical realism in the final act does make us wonder how much of what's unfolding is happening inside Thangalaan's head, but Ranjith's refusal to spell it out is what makes the film singular. Rated: 4/5 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Gopinath Rajendran The Hindu It’s Vikram and Ranjith who almost pull together this splintered mess that promises a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, only to have way too many chinks in its golden armour to save itself. Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Manoj Kumar R Desimartini Thangalaan is a film that demands not just to be watched but to be experienced. It’s a tale of struggle, grit, and perseverance, where every frame is imbued with a sense of purpose and meaning. Rated: 4 Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Kathirgamanathan K Great and. Historical movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Kash This movie offers a wonderful experience that not a lot of Tamil audience have been generally exposed to. If not now, in a few years, they’ll be celebrating it and calling it a “classic”. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Velmurugan can see only for Vikram Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Thangalaan - 7.5/10. Its unfair to compare this film to Pa. Ranjith’s previous films, but I kinda have to here. The socio political commentary is good here, but I feel like its not as striking and effective as his previous works. Madras is awesome, Kabali was solid (flaws and all), Kaala was great, and Sarpatta Parambarai might have been formulaic but it was so damn good. So, with this film, we get a historical period piece film which happens to have fantastical elements (magical realism if you will). The problem here is that everything seems to be so so good here. Vikram delivers yet another great performance, and gives his all. The rest of the cast and crew have given so much effort as well. But, again, there’s something missing here. I give Ranjith credit for trying this genre out and giving it his all. Its just that its not as good as I hope it would be. Good film, but I was wishing for more here! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Ruban F The movie is compelling... It flatters ... It mesmerizes ... Amidst a superb display of vibrant colours, emotions and drama, the protagonist takes us on a throwback journey that evokes memories of an era gone by, during the British rule in India... Beautifully presented are the subtle core messages of servitude and religious bias, the latter truth will definitely rub some people the wrong way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Priyan B Pro's:- 1) Gv Prakash BGM. 2) lead actors performance. 3) cinematography and camera work was nice. 4) sound design. Con's:- 1) dialogues are not audible sometimes. 2) bad cgi. 3) predictable and draggy second half. Overall: worth watching but could have been better compared to other pa.ranjith movies.
