Theri review: Vijay is delightfully human, not his usual cold-face self

Theri has all the essentials one expects in a vijay starrer but central to the film is the father-daughter relationship and that’s where the film scores big..

Vijay’s film Theri is a masala entertainer, which has all the elements his fans expect.

Director : Atlee

Cast : Vijay, Samantha, Amy Jackson, Radhika Sarathkumar, Mahendran, Baby Nainika

Rating : 2.5/5

When I walk into a Vijay film, I know exactly what I would be pounded with--cyclonic action, humongous heroism, nobility and syrupy romance. Vijay’s latest Robin Hood adventure, Theri, has all of these ingredients to make the movie into a masala that Indian cinema terms entertainment. In the first hour of the film’s run time of 158 minutes, I counted five songs and dances -- one of them with Vijay (playing Indian Police Service Officer, Vijay Kumar) and his lady love, Mithra (a Bengali name that Samantha sports), dressed in Arabian costumes! Here’s a curious case of imagination running wilder than the movie’s make-believe creation.

Read: Vijay-starrer Theri to release in 144 screens in the US

The film stays true to its song and dance ritual. (TheriMovie/Facebook)

When Vijay is not swaying to the beat of the drums and the hum of the musical notes, he plays Mr Noble in Khaki, bumping off a powerful minister’s (Mahendran in his debut role, and what a fine piece of acting from a man who once directed classics like Uthiripookal and Nenjathai Killathey) son, because he molested and murdered a young Information Technology professional.

Read: Was stunned by Vijay’s refusal to use a body double, says Atlee

Read: Theri actor Sunaina excited about working with Vijay

A shaken and shattered minister vows revenge which, as he says in his viciously terrifying voice, will be worse than death. Yes, death to Vijay’s wife -- Mithra had by then married the cop -- and his fun-loving mother, portrayed in her characteristic style by Radhika Sarathakumar. The couple’s daughter survives the bloody onslaught in a kind of incident that reminded me of Sholay and Gabbar Singh’s evil demolition of a happy family.

Watch Theri trailer here:

All this in Theri comes to us in a sequence of flashbacks, and the Tamil work’s opening shots are in Kerala, where Vijay in an assumed identity as Jacob Kuruvilla is playing papa, papa to his little daughter, Nivi (Baby Nainika, a brat whose smartness goes beyond cinematic liberty).

And Nivi’s teacher is Annie (Amy Jackson, in her usual wooden avatar, looking positively uncomfortable lisping Malayalam) who flips for Jacob and lets her inquisitiveness get the better of her. She finds out about Jacob’s past, but director Atlee keeps an important part of the man’s mysterious life for the final frame.

Vijay plays Mr Noble in Khaki. (TheriMovie/Facebook)

Beyond this, there is little novelty in a plot that only appears rehashed (probably for the nth time) with some annoying and ethically questionable police methodology. In this day and age, are we to go home after watching Theri where all that Vijay Kumar does is virtuous? Given the kind of fan craze one saw at the opening of the movie cinema must introspect on the kind of social message it spreads.

To be fair to Atlee and his Theri, he got Vijay into a rare emotional mould. (ActorVijay/Facebook)

However, to be fair to Atlee and his Theri, I must say that he got Vijay into a rare emotional mould. The star actually cries a great deal more than he usually does. He has always had this tendency to mask his feelings with a cold, unexpressive face. This time, Vijay seemed delightfully human, essaying a very different kind of policeman, whose heart beats could be seen on his face.

THERI MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

Finally the day that Vijay fans were eagerly awaiting has arrived. Yes, we see the arrival of one of the most anticipated Tamil films of 2016, Theri . After an experimental Puli, Vijay gets back to his commercial route. The plot of the movie revolves around an ex-cop who is being revenged by an evil politician and the battle between the two. In simple words, Theri is a story about a good father versus a bad father. Vijay is the real Theri of the film; he brings in that spark to the floor. He sports three different makeovers and if his third get up had not been revealed in the trailer, there could have been a surprise element for the audience. Be it as a loving father or as an honest fearless cop or as a caring husband, Vijay shines in every frame. The Theri man has given his best. Overall a performance that will satisfy all center audiences and it is the most convincing cop avatar Vijay has portrayed. 20 minutes into the movie, there is Baasha kind of a moment for Vijay, his fans waiting for the real ‘Vijay kumar’ to erupt. You sense the restlessness, and when it does happen, it is the perfect first day first show fan moment. Special mention for editor Ruben for his fast cut edit pattern in the opening stunt. Jithu Jilladi is also one such addition for the fans to have a blast, creatively canned. One thing that goes against the film is the predictability factor. When there is a suspense moment, you would want the audience not to guess it right. But in Theri ’s case, viewers are able to connect the dots and predict what is going to happen next. Perhaps could be a case of trailer revealing more than needed. Atlee must be lauded for handling the emotional scenes very well, but few such scenes look a little force fitted and dramatic taking the pace away. Two duets also slow down the proceedings.  You would find a momentarily mass scene whenever you feel the screenplay is tilting towards the slower side, which would keep the crowd buzzing now and then. One of the best high points of the film would be the interval block. There are quite a few fight scenes in the film for fans and all are crisply choreographed. The biggest find of Theri is obviously the legendary director Mahendran’s acting skills. His mannerism, style and dialogue delivery are all top class. A couple of battle scenes between Mahendran and Vijay will be talked about. Motta Rajendran travels throughout the film but does not have too many chances to score, but whenever he gets a chance, he makes the best use of it. Theri could be one of Samantha’s best roles; she plays a doctor and has given out a soulful performance. Amy’s makeover in Theri as a teacher based out of Kerala, is quite convincing. Nainika is a doll and her expressions are just adorable. She scores the second highest claps and whistles in the hall, after Vijay. Theri will also be known for its visual brilliance. Be it the action sequences or the songs,  you would find some top notch camera angles as well as lighting, thanks to cinematographer George C Williams. GV Prakash’s background score definitely adds the mass as well as the emotional connect elegantly. One more credible work to his list.

On the whole, Theri is a little predictable emotional ride with some great performances, superlative technical work with a mix of commercial elements.

Theri: 2016 Thrilling Action-packed Tamil Movie Review

Theri HD , UHD Posters | Flickr

Official Release: April 14, 2016

OTT platform: Prime Video

Duration:  2h 37min

IMDb Rating: 7.3/10

Another blockbuster movie by our one and only Thalapathy. An Exciting Combination of Social Commentary, Emotion, and Action. The Tamil blockbuster “Theri” will transport you to a world of emotion, action, and unparalleled drama! Starring Vijay in a role that has captivated millions, “Theri” is a cinematic masterpiece that weaves together the raw intensity of love, the unshakable links of family, and the persistent pursuit of justice.

Powerful Dialogues:

Let me excite you about the movie with some powerful dialogues such as

“Police-ah irundha enna, pala kodi makkalukaga uyiroda irukken. Appa-ah irukken na, oru kuzhandhai mela uyiroda irukken.” which means Being a policeman, I am alive for the sake of millions of people. But as a father, I live my life for my child.

“Naan police illa, porukki.” which means I am not a policeman, I’m a thug.

“En kodi pillaikku oru kodi asai… Adha kedaikka naan oru kodi perai adikka ready!” which means My child has a million wishes… And for that to come true, I’m ready to fight a million people!

“Puli paththi singam lam bayapadradhilla… Enna pathi therinjikonga.” which means A tiger doesn’t fear a lion… Get to know about me.

Introducing Theri:

In the realm of Tamil cinema, where action-packed thrillers and emotionally charged dramas often captivate the audience, Atlee’s “Theri” emerges as a formidable blend of both genres. Released in 2016, this film stars Vijay in a dynamic role, accompanied by Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson, offering a cinematic experience that is both thrilling and heart-wrenching. “Theri” not only showcases high-octane action sequences but also delves deep into themes of love, vengeance, and social justice, making it a compelling watch.

Plot Summary:

“Theri” unfolds the life of Joseph Kuruvilla (Vijay), a loving father living a peaceful life in Kerala with his daughter Nivi (Baby Nainika). The narrative takes a dramatic turn as Joseph’s serene existence is revealed to be a facade, hiding his past life as DCP Vijay Kumar, a fearless cop in Chennai. The plot intricately weaves through Vijay’s past and present, detailing his battle against a ruthless politician and his own quest for justice following a personal tragedy. The film skillfully balances emotional depth with engaging action, guiding the audience through a rollercoaster of highs and lows.

Analysis of Themes and Motifs:

At its core, “Theri” explores the enduring power of love and the quest for justice. The film juxtaposes the warmth of familial bonds with the cold brutality of crime and corruption, offering a nuanced commentary on the societal challenges faced by individuals standing against injustice. It also touches upon themes of redemption and transformation, as Vijay transitions from a vengeful cop to a caring father, only to confront his past for the sake of his daughter’s future.

Character Analysis:

Theri : Extra Large Movie Poster Image - IMP Awards

Vijay’s portrayal of Joseph Kuruvilla/DCP Vijay Kumar is nothing short of spectacular, as he seamlessly transitions between the tender-hearted father and the formidable cop. His character’s depth is explored through his relationships, particularly with his daughter Nivi, played endearingly by Baby Nainika, and his love interest Mithra (Samantha Ruth Prabhu). Samantha delivers a heartfelt performance, complementing Vijay’s character with her own resilience and warmth. Amy Jackson, as the supportive teacher Annie, adds another layer to the narrative, embodying strength and kindness. The antagonists, portrayed by Mahendran and others, effectively evoke the ruthlessness of the world Vijay battles against.

Direction and Cinematography:

Atlee’s direction in “Theri” is commendable, as he masterfully orchestrates a narrative that is as visually stunning as it is emotionally gripping. The film’s cinematography, led by George C. Williams, is a visual treat, capturing the essence of the film’s varied settings, from the serene landscapes Kerala to the bustling streets of Chennai. The action sequences are choreographed with precision, offering a visceral experience that complements the film’s emotional depth.

Music and Soundtrack:

The music of “Theri,” composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, plays a pivotal role in elevating the film’s emotional and action-packed moments. The soundtrack is a harmonious blend of energetic anthems and soulful melodies, with songs like “En Jeevan” and “Jithu Jilladi” becoming instant hits. The background score is equally impactful, adeptly accentuating the film’s dramatic tension and emotional moments.

Critical Analysis and Personal Opinion:

Theri Movie New HD Poster Released - Gethu Cinema

“Theri” stands out as a significant entry in Tamil cinema, successfully merging the elements of action and drama to deliver a powerful narrative. While the film follows a somewhat predictable trajectory of revenge and justice, it distinguishes itself through its emotional depth and character development. Vijay’s performance is the cornerstone of the film, bringing authenticity and charm to both facets of his role. However, the film occasionally falters in pacing, with certain sequences feeling elongated. Despite these minor setbacks, “Theri” remains an engaging watch, primarily due to Atlee’s direction and the compelling performances of the cast.

The film’s approach to addressing social issues, particularly its commentary on the education system and the plight of women, adds a layer of relevance to its narrative. “Theri” encourages viewers to reflect on the societal implications of its story, making it more than just a tale of personal vengeance.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, “Theri” is a testament to the power of storytelling in Tamil cinema, offering a perfect amalgamation of action, emotion, and social commentary. It is a film that entertains, engages, and enlightens, driven by stellar performances, adept direction, and a compelling narrative. Vijay’s dynamic portrayal of a man torn between love for his family and the call of duty is both inspiring and heartwarming. “Theri” is undoubtedly a must-watch for fans of Tamil cinema and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted action drama that resonates with real-world themes.

Theri movie review: Vijay’s limitations as an actor exposed in a predictable storyline

The movie, possibly the millionth remake of rajnikanth’s revenge film basha, where the hero is a daredevil with a larger-than-life persona, is yawn-inducing.

theri movie review in tamil

The much-anticipated scene from Theri, in which Vijay sings a nursery rhyme to some goons, and a few other scenes where his character’s supernatural abilities have been showcased, offer the only moments of relief in this “mass entertainer”.

It’s true that we don’t go to watch a Vijay film expecting a logical screenplay or sequences. But here, the passionate fanbase of an average actor with very little variety of expressions and body language does nothing but encourage a budding director to repeat a long-buried formula and storyline on the big screen.

The movie, possibly the millionth remake of Rajnikanth ’s revenge film Basha, where the hero is a daredevil with a larger-than-life persona, is yawn-inducing. In Theri, Vijay plays Joseph Kuruvilla, a baker who lives a peaceful life in Kerala with his daughter Nivi (Nainika). When Nivi’s school teacher Annie ( Amy Jackson ) shows interest in Joseph and follows him, his past is revealed — he was once Vijayakumar, the deputy commissioner of Chennai .

Festive offer

The story is predictable and Vijay’s limitations as an actor are exposed in melodramatic scenes. Nainika, daughter of south Indian actress Meena, looks charming. Samantha and Jackson both look like they were used to add to the glamour quotient. The saving grace is Mahendran , who enacted the antagonist’s role with ease.

Cinematographer George C Williams does a good job behind the camera, capturing the beautiful landscapes of Kerala, and GV Prakash’s songs go well with the total absurdity of the movie.

Theri depicts brutal violence, so the only question that remains at the end of the movie is, why did our overtly-sensitive censor board reward this movie with a ‘U’ certificate?

crazy how Vijay pulled a “once upon a time there lived a ghost, he’s not a myth anymore” before Aandavar.

Michael James

Review by Michael James ★★★

The revenge thriller is indeed a cliche loaded rehash of Sathriyan, yet stays entertaining as its proportionately packaged with enough crowd pleasing elements needed for a masala movie. The father-daughter portions were too sweet n enjoyable. Though familiar, the emotional beats work well and land the impact. Love portions were ok. However the body language n dubbing of actors trying to create these cutie pie moments felt a bit awkward. Interval portions and the mass moments are bang on. All the social elements felt forced and too conveniently written. Anyways, the entire narrative drive is aimed at elevating its hero, and VJ effortlessly carries the show in that regard. GV strikes with his music. Was happy to see the legendary Mahendran on screen. On the whole, a decent masala action entertainer.

Soumajit Nath

Review by Soumajit Nath 2

This is insane! Comedy, drama, emotion and romance...Atlee has already mastered that equalizer setting with his debut. But with Theri he strikes a balance between his own kind of over-the-top mass action against those organic resources of sentimentallity, resulting in a film that resonates with a broader audience and makes us wonder like never before! By the way, the only star (here) doesn't just twinkle, rather he shines like a sun— Thalapathy Vijay, he is the man, made for this MASS action swagger! Love every second of it. Enjoy every second of him on screen! ... Counting days for JAWAN !

Review by Nith ★★★½ 2

Ask filmmakers & audiences alike what the biggest issue in Tamil cinema today is and anyone that’s clued in will tell you that it’s the lack of dedicated writers for directors. Many directors are not writers & vice versa, yet the industry is such that to be a filmmaker one has to take on all of these tasks. Atlee is perhaps the biggest case of a director who’d benefit from a writer. The man does not even write scenes lol everything is derivative of something. And the irony of it in this case is the film’s story being derivative of K Subash’s  Sathriyan , a film written by Mani Ratnam. That aside, as a director there’s an incredible flare to him. He really brings…

Theri: Spark

”Go away, Satan!”

Atlee’s Theri is my favourite from his collaborations with Vijay. Mersal was too convoluted and Bigil was all over the place. This is an effective Masala film. Very basic storyline that Atlee structures neatly. We get a cute father-daughter relationship. Vijay plays the meek Joseph. Meek until we get a backstory. The love story is fine and the musical numbers are a lot of fun. The emotional scenes that lead to the present timeline are very well done. Even scary. The rest is a standard revenge template and Vijay mouthing some badass dialogues. Watched this in preparation for the Jawan trailer. If Atlee sticks to his formula I am expecting something more emotional and entertaining…

Review by sydney

objectively the best out of the atlee-vijay movies as it's more straightforward, the flashback feels like it's moving from point a to point b along with the plot rather than bigil or mersal where it seems like you just watch a different movie for a little while. the humor/action are a bit better balanced too, still has some real fucked up shit but the kid is cute and samantha is cute and it never feels like it goes too far in one direction or the other. but honestly i really enjoyed all three movies and i have no idea how i'd rank them - as messy as bigil and mersal are they're so beautiful, and i kinda like their chaotic…

Going by the initial reports, fans are celebrating the day and Theri has got houseful shows across the state. Check out for a few tweets:

While Vijay is the star attraction of the movie, many have applauded Nainika's performance in Theri .

Theri Movie Review

Illayathalapathy Vijay’s 59th movie Theri has finally released and the movie is directed by Raja Rani Fame Atlee and the movie is produced by Kalaipuli S. Thanu. The movie features Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson in predominant roles. Prabhu, Radhika Sarathkumar, Baby Nainikka, Rajendran, Santhanam, Kali Venkat were also part of the cast.

Vijay in Theri Movie

George C. Williams has done the cinematography. The editing work was done by Anthony L. Ruben and the music was composed by the super music director G.V. Prakash Kumar. The songs which were released earlier have received huge welcome by Vijay’s moviegoers. The songs such as “En Jeevan”, “Eena Meena Teka” and “Rangu”are hit songs from the movie.

Theri is a typical revenge action drama along with a superb message about parenting and how to bring them up by teaching good and bad things as they have to learn to face the world. The movie has more emotional scenes and there are also many stunt scenes which Vijay has done excellently. In Theri Vijay is seen in three characters namely Joseph Kuruvilla, Vijay Kumar, and Dharmeshwar.

Samatha has done role of spouse of Vijay and she goes by the name Mithra and she is a doctor in this movie. One of the Vijay’s characters is a cop and that is the highlight of the movie. Samantha has done justice to her role. The British girl Amy Jackson has acted as a Malayali teacher and Radhika Sarathkumar has done role of a single parent. Meena’s daughter Nainikka is the highlight of the movie. Her innocent dialogue delivery and face actions are a treat. George G. Williams has done a superb cinematography, the first half of the movie goes well and the second half falls flat with usual revenge. Atlee should have focused more on the revenge part. He kept it flat.

Overall, ‘Theri’ is not as ‘Terrifying’ as the teaser claimed to be!

Fans of Vijay are pumped up with release of Theri

Theri review - not theriffic.

Theri's story is based on a simple revenge drama carried by an uninteresting screenplay with highly predictable scenes narrated over a painstakingly long run-time. It is obvious from the first reel that there is a gruesome past that the hero is trying to keep it under wraps. Director Atlee has no di... (more)

When Inspiration Reign Supreme!

Getting inspired is absolutely understandable. But, depending on the inspiration in order to sell your own product is a matter of grave concern.

A little predictable, but an enjoyable mass ride with Vijay aka Vijay Kumar aka Joseph Kuruvilla

One thing that goes against the film is the predictability factor. When there is a suspense moment, you would want the audience not to guess it right. But in Theri's case, viewers are able to connect the dots and predict what is going to happen next. Perhaps could be a case of trailer revealing more... (more)

Vijay fans might find this film 'Theri'-fic

A lot was expected from director Atlee but he has fallen short in this Vijay film. Having a star like Vijay he should have made maximum use of his talent, skills, and popularity. But he didn't. The story is very slow (especially in the first half) with many scenes that don't add value to the film. I... (more)

This man is from Mass

I�m not saying you cannot find a place for these sentiments in a mass-hero movie, but the film ends up schizophrenic trying to balance them with the more macho stuff the actor�s fans want. So after all those tears, we end up with the hero as the ghost who walks, a phantom who appears out of nowhere ... (more)
