Thambi - don't watch it
Sometimes on Saturday afternoons, I have an urge to walk into the local theater to catch a movie by myself. Usually, it helps me analyze the movie better and gives me some space for experimentation. This Saturday I walked into "Thambi", the latest Madhavan flick. The movie starts off with the director potraying the flabby Madhavan as a kung fu expert. His friends inform him of a murder in the city and the next moment Madhavan is doing a 100 meter sprint chasing the murderers. Madhavan's role in the movie is supposedly a combination of Subash Chandra Bose and Gandhi but it was difficult for me to see any of this cos the storyline by itself was pathetic. Thambi is a combination of pointless violence, poor dialogue delivery, boring songs and a rhetoric story. Madhavan is an actor of good caliber and it pains me to see when he makes poor decisions and chooses to act in bad movies like "Thambi" which could have been expected from someone like "Ilayathalapathi" Vijay.

Puja,
Rang de basanti was good but the second half was a little too melodramatic. It is one of the better hindi movies though.
Tanu,

Chad,

Madhavan looks really bad in the movie...but feel free to watch it if you still feel like.
