When Tamizh’s father (Ravikumar) dies, the camera gradually slips out of the room as if to not intrude on the family’s grief and the film even asks the same of the audience and breaks into the intermission.
#Thanga magan movie rating serial
Situations that could have become full-blown melodrama of the TV serial variety are treated with a restraint that is admirable.

Tamizh’s break-up with Hema (Amy Jackson), the Anglo-Indian girl whom he loves, and his honeymoon period with Yamuna (Samantha), the girl he eventually marries, happen in the space of few minutes but the film is convincing in portraying the fact that the protagonist has moved on. There is lightness in these scenes and despite the familiarity of the situations, the film keeps us engaged. The scenes in the first half have a smooth rhythm. Ravikumar and Radikaa are pitch perfect, while even Amy, who is made to sing Tamizhukkum Amudhendru Paer (of all things), manages to pass muster. The principal cast feels right in their roles. And, the sense of niceness that we see on screen feels less organic and more calculated.īut the film isn’t a damp squib, either. The characters come across more as archetypes - hardworking father, loving mother, stunning girlfriend, demure wife, wisecracking friend and so on - and so, we care less for them. But the film lacks the edginess that characterizes Selvaraghavan’s films and the naturalism of "VIP’s" domestic scenes. It is Dhanush rightly acknowledging the influence of his brother. There is a scene where the protagonist Tamizh (Dhanush, playing the guy-next-door for the umpteenth time) and his friends are watching "7/G, Rainbow Colony" - a film that so successfully tapped into this fantasy - and the screen fills up with the words ‘A film by Selvaraghavan’.

The film plays on the middle-class male fantasy of young men wanting to be a caring son, a charming boyfriend, a loving husband, and a hero for the family. "Thangamagan" has all that but these moments feel like a watered down version of what we had seen in the previous film. Movie Review: When the trailer of Thangamagan was released, it immediately brought to mind his "Velaiilla Pattadhari" (VIP) with its shot collage of domestic life and masala heroism. The youngster tries to understand why his father took this extreme step and clear his name. Entertaining soundtrack from Anirudh that would have fared much better if not for the familiarity aspect.Synopsis: The happiness of Tamizh and his middle-class family is shattered when his dad commits suicide. Dhanush handles the vocals here too, along with the talented Nikhita Gandhi. The soundtrack’s highlight is Tak Bak, an infectiously fun track that sees the composer set Dhanush’s wacky, onomatopoeic lines to some groovy guitars and horns! Oh Oh is engagingly breezy, only bogged down by the déjà vu aspect in the melody and arrangement. It is the leading man Dhanush’s singing that comes off the weak link in the whole affair. The melancholic Jodi Nilave too is owned by Swetha, even as Anirudh bolsters the melody with a soulful arrangement.

The song especially soars in its single interlude that sees a chirpy flute solo giving way to a sweeping strings segment, all set to a nice folk percussion base. The charming folk-based orchestration and Swetha Mohan’s outstanding singing work big time in offsetting the familiarity that Enna Solla’s pleasant tune carries.
