For most of the non tamil people tamil films are just super star movies, kuthu songs, anti gravity fights, crap comedies and so on. But there is also another side of the same industry where the new film makers with relatively unknown heroes make gripping films where a terrific script and their talent are the only capital they have, and manage to woo the audience.Thegidi directed by debutant Ramesh is one such brilliant suspense thriller which would never bore the audience even for a while and keep up the adrenaline rush of the viewers till the end of the film.
Thegidi is th story of a person who unknowingly becomes a part of a series of murders and he has to solve the mystry behind the murders to safeguard himself as well as his lover.The film narrates whether he will be successful in his endeavour.The first half of the film moves smoothly and shows the day to day life of the hero,his friendship, love and how he graduallyends up in a dangerous situation.The second half is all about his investigation on the person behind the murders.The screenplay in the secong half is so engaging that you wont be taking your eye out of the screen to know the next move of the hero as well as the villain and it is told in such believable manner that we won't , even for aminute, doubt anything illogical about the sequences of the film.There are few twists and turns in the film, but its not the twists that makes it interesting but the way the whole investigation is narrated just sweep you by your feet and ended it just perfectly keeping in the scope of a sequel and this itself shows the confidence of the director in hid creation without any presence of superstars.
The other major plus of the film is its terrific background score and music by Nivas Prasanna.The bgm was successful in supporting the director to create the tension and the suspense all through the film and again proves that the right bgm can raise the quality of films many fold times.Though the film's climax is not as racy as we expect,but the crisp editing by John Paul takes over and creates the needed tension in the final parts.In the acting front, Ashok plays the main character with considerable subtelity and has done done a pretty good job but if he could have emoted a bit more in a few intense scenes, that could have taken those scenes to another level.Other characters too didi their part well.
Overall, Thegidi is one of the best thrillers that you would have seen in tamil films in recent times with an intelligent and engaging screenplay overlaid with a stunning background score. Considering that this is the debut film of the director Ramesh, he has shown thate he has all the talent to reach the top league of directors. A movie which everyone associated with it can be proud of.
Definitely a thrilling entertainer !!Go for it !!
