Thammudu Movie Review

In Thammudu, Nithiin portrays a man drawn into the heart of a tribal land, compelled by a heartfelt vow to his sister and a growing duty to defend its people. While the premise has emotional potential, poor execution and a weak screenplay let it down.

Story:

Nithiin’s character enters a tribal region to honor a promise, forming a bond with its people while overcoming challenges.

Analysis:

• Director Venu Sriram, known for emotional narratives, struggles with clarity and pace. The first half feels dragged, and even with Dil Raju’s backing, the production feels subpar. A few moments shine in the second half.

Performances:

• Nithiin is sincere but lacks emotional pull. Saptami Gowda, and others. Surab Satyadev is effective as the villain.

Technical Aspects:

• Background score by Anjanish Loknath is a highlight. Cinematography is average; editing needed more sharpness.

Pros:

• Nithiin’s performance
• Action scenes
• Some emotional beats

Cons:

• Weak writing
• Poor direction
• Sluggish first half
