Thaanaa Serndha Koottam is a remake of the Bollywood film Special 26, which starred Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpayee. The original was based on the 1987 Opera House heist of Mumbai: A gang disguised as CBI officers looted a jewellery showroom to the tune of Rs 35 lakh in 1987.
Thaanaa Serndha Koottam tells the story of a gang posing as CBI officers that conducts raids on corrupt politicians and businessmen while looting black money. What happens in their last assignment, which involves 26 young and dynamic graduates, is the crux of the story.
By their own admission, the makers have taken the gist of the content from the original and tweaked the screenplay to suit local sensibilities.

Baradwaj Rangan:
@VigneshShivN's #ThaanaaSerndhaKootam is an entertainingly mass-ified, more hero-centric version of #Special26. The messagey bits feel very out of place, but @Suriya_offl is in good form and the 80s nostalgia is a blast. 3/5. Review soon on @FilmCompanion
Surendhar MK:
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam: @anirudhofficial has delivered a peachy background score. Easily, his best effort among all his recent releases. Catchy retro bits and nice little interludes at crucial junctures
RIP all the comparisons with #Special26. #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam, except for the crux, looks almost like a fresh film with a different emotional undercurrent & the angst. I would say it's a perfect adaptation for Tamil audiences and @VigneshShivN deserves the 'Screenplay' credits.
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam: It's a complete joy to watch @Suriya_offl perform at ease without any inhibitions. His most natural performance in a long time, IMO. Loved how he was comfortable with the space given to other characters, sometimes at his cost too. Great fun ✌️
More than anyone, #Suriya needed a film like #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam to let go of his Mr Perfect image and the Mr Angry cliches we've been associating with him in his past few outings. @VigneshShivN quietly extracts the best out of the 'actor' #Suriya in a magnificent way.
#TSK is the perfect festival film. An ideal family entertainer and easily the PONGAL WINNER by a mile. #ThaanaSerndhaKoottam
Super hit surely on cards. Best wishes @VigneshShivN, @Suriya_offl, @KeerthyOfficial, @RJ_Balaji, @anirudhofficial, @meramyakrishnan
Kaushik LM:
#TSK #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam - @RJ_Balaji - less screen time, max impact. Sema response.. His futuristic 'CBI News' dialogs work bigtime.. @VigneshShivN utilizes RJB the best yet again, after NRD..
#TSK #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam 1st half - Solid response for @meramyakrishnan, she's a Superstar. Nice role for her @menongautham has dubbed for Suresh Menon; GVM could've actually acted too. @KeerthyOfficial looks beautiful as always! @ArtisteKarthik is introduced pre-interval
#TSK #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam 1st half - Highly entertaining & engaging Breezy fun & also has a very emotional angle on unemployment. @VigneshShivN dialogs are bang-on, @anirudhofficial in top form with his songs and retro RR, @Suriya_offl brings all his energy to the fore.
Christopher Kanagaraj:
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam #TSK | Commercial version of 'Special 26'. This is the Surya which we love to watch, he rocks. Keerthy, just for songs. GVM's dubbing voice sema. Gud perf from Ramyakrishnan & Kalaiarasan. Comedy scenes worked well. Superb 1st hlf & Decent 2nd hlf. Worth!
Sreedhar Pillai:
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam is a great racy fun ride, packaged well & crisply told by @VigneshShivN. @Suriya_offl is fabulous along with the rest of the cons especially @meramyakrishnan . Wholesome family entertainer.

@anirudhofficial complete surrender
All set for a similar second half
#TSK - Whatta roller coaster ride it was ! Completely blown out by @anirudhofficial Bgm and @VigneshShivN direction and lastly #suriya's vintage acting !!
Every single penny is worth for this film ! Rocking festival movie !!

Except for the climactic deviation from #Special26, a message overkill which totally did not work for me, #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam is fun. Just out of the theatre, so I'm yet to come to terms with the change in tone. Why couldn't it have been irreverent, like the rest of the film?
Loving #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam, which comes across as a more playful, celebratory and vibrant adaptation of #Special26. And @Suriya_offl is at his charming best, like in 24, and looks . Be prepared, ladies, for you will swoon.

- Slow Screenplay, Lengthy First Half...
Subramanian Surya:
Can't compare. Like I said this is not a remake as such. Director has modified it to make it more native and suit his style as well. Both are different movies in their own right. Special26 had a serious tone and treatment , this one is more fun and lighter vein.
Yes...Not the cliché ending ... But there is of course a stunt in preclimax that is understandably to satiate #AnbanaFans. Nothing wrong with it. Neat job done by @dhilipaction on that one.
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam : Interesting casting of erstwhile director #SureshMenon (PuthiyaMugam fame) in a crucial role and getting @menongautham to do the dubbing for that character. Seemed to gel well with the story and proceedings. @VigneshShivN
Yes...But this one is not a straight scene by scene remake. Director does acknowledge in the titles that he has taken inspiration from Special26.
Movie set in 80s bro. Major #Ulaganayagan references irikku.
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam : Damn impressed with the art direction team for recreating the 80s. Makes u nostalgic to see Gold Spot, and other retro stuff. 80s kids should surely watch the movie again to spot old favorite memorabilia.
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam : Only drawback according 2 me was perhaps the climax. Was expecting a better twist or ending. Felt the ending was bit like a Murugadoss film, bit preachy. Rest it's a fun ride not to be missed.
@VigneshShivN & team have served the best sakkarai pongal 4u.
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam : Liked it. Fun movie, perfect 4 happy festive times. Liked the packaging that ought to draw in family audiences. No skin show or double entendres, blood/gore stunts. Song, dance, fun and frolic ! Go watch with family & enjoy !! Worth ur #Sodakku
#ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam : @Suriya_offl packs a punch with his dance moves and screen presence in #Sodakku song. Celebratory! True festive fun song n dance routine.
#ThaanaSerndhaKoottam : Nice to see veteran #Senthil back on screen and he seems to be happy to be midst the company of youngsters.
Sidhu:
#TSK: Nice seeing a lollumaxx, confident @Suriya_offl, different from the stiff and angry man he's been in his last few films. His happy-go-lucky mood more often than not puts a smile on your face.
#TSK: Technically strong with @dineshkrishnanb's visuals being super colorful and smooth. Editing was noticably good in the interrogation scenes, with @anirudhofficial's retro scores aiding the chronicles nicely.
#TSK: @VigneshShivN's capability to keep the proceedings lively without diluting it or making too serious is an asset. His fresh approach and skillful use of the ensemble starcast deserve worthy mentions.
#TSK: Jolly fun ride. Sets the festive mood all right with a well-constructed entertainer that checks all the boxes. @Suriya_offl steals the show with his cheerful, dynamic performance.
#TSK Interval: Very enjoyable. @VigneshShivN smartly converts #Special26 into a free-flowing, chilled out entertainer. @Suriya_offl turns back the clock and is a treat to watch!
