Review of Thandatti

Thandatti (2023)
4/10
An okayish affair ruined by a ridiculous ending
15 July 2023
Thandatti introduces a lot of interesting characters, and I found this to be the films strength. As a film, I believe it would've worked better as much much shorter, and as being more comic in tone, but nonetheless it does kind of work. However, in the climax, an utterly bizarre and illogical twist is revealed that ruins the whole film. People should realise that complexity and unpredictability doesn't necessarily make a film that good, and that sometimes simplicity is preferable.

The acting was a mixed bag, with a decent performance from the lead and the character playing Show Pandi. As for the story style, Thandatti lacks severely in subtlety and relies on loud music and countless flashbacks to convey information.

4/10.
