Thadam movie review and ratings: Critics give thumbs up for Arun Vijay-starrer

Arun Vijay's Thadam is releasing on Friday, March 1, after getting highly positive reviews from the critics. It is an action thriller, directed by Magizh Thirumeni in which Tanya Hope plays the female lead.

The story of Thadam is about identical twins with different lifestyles and tastes. Ezhil (Arun Vijay) is a civil engineer by profession. He belongs to upper middle-class and leads a peaceful life. He is in love with Deepika (Tanya Hope) and plans to marry her. On the other side, Ezhil's twin brother Kavin (Arjun Vijay) is a small-time thief, but a street-smart man who understands the loopholes in the legal system.

At a crucial juncture, Ezhil is arrested over the murder of a youth and a cop tries to use this opportunity to settle his personal score with the accused. However, the story takes an interesting twist after his identical brother Kavan too lands in the same police station over another case. What follows next should be seen on-screen.

Arjun Vijay's performance and the tight narration have been hailed by the critics. Check out select-few comments posted by those who watched the movie at a special screening.
