Thangalaan Movie Review: The film works because of its concept and Pa Ranjith's execution.
Thangalaan Movie Review Synopsis: THANGALAAN follows the narrative of a brave guy. The year is 1850. Thangalaan (Chiyaan Vikram) is the Veppur village leader, who lives with his wife Gangamma (Parvathy Thiruvothu) and their four children. Despite his position as chief, he is forced to labor as a bonded labourer. The zamindar's (Vettai Muthukumar) soldiers set fire to his farm, destroying his produce. He is unable to pay taxes and is compelled to relinquish his land. This is when Lord Clement (Daniel Caltagirone), a British officer, comes in Veppur. He is looking for gold in a nearby region and asks the Veppur people for assistance because he is aware of their ancestral ability in locating it. Everyone initially refuses, claiming that the gold mine area is filled with ghosts. Thangalaan's great-grandfather, Kaadaiyan (Chiyaan Vikram), was also an expert. Thangalaan agrees, and a few villagers accompany him in the gold-finding mission. Thangalaan, on the other hand, suffers from hallucinations of Aarathi (Malavika Mohanan), a sorceress and defender of the gold field. What occurs next determines the rest of the film.
Thangalaan Movie plot Review:
Pa Ranjith and Tamil Praba's plot is creative and unique. Pa Ranjith and Tamil Praba's screenplay has flaws, but it is thorough, engaging, and addresses some significant subjects. Azhagiya Periyavan's dialogue is crisp. However, the Hindi-dubbed dialogues fall short of expectations.
Pa Ranjith's direction is exceptional. There is no doubt that he is technically proficient. He has previously employed sound, mood, camerawork, and other techniques to create a distinct cinematic experience, and THANGALAAN is no exception. The moment in the pre-climax that transitions from night to day and back again demonstrates his creative ability. He also offers the film a commercial approach while avoiding the common cliches seen in mass entertainment. He does everything his own way. While doing so, he discusses caste atrocities and avarice, which contributes significantly to the picture.
On the other hand, in numerous instances, the film becomes overly weighty and even untidy. There is a lot going on, and the audience may become overwhelmed as they assimilate everything. The film is also quite abstract, and despite commercial components, it is not your standard mass-appeal film. These two reasons would limit the attractiveness.
Thangalaan Movie Review Performances:
Chiyaan Vikram becomes unrecognizable. His change is incredible, and his performance is nothing short of spectacular. He has delivered some outstanding performances, and this is undoubtedly one of his greatest. Parvathy Thiruvothu gets into character and appears to be a poor peasant. She also has a significant role and performs admirably. Malavika Mohanan has a minimal screen time but steals the show. She is an excellent fit for the role. Daniel Caltagirone is amazing. Vettai Muthukumar is barely present. Hari Krishnan (Varada), Preeti Karan (Arasani), Arjun Anbudan (Asoka), and others provide valuable support.
Thangalaan music and technical aspects:
G V Prakash Kumar's music is not chartbuster and may not appeal to the Hindi audience. The film's tracks, including 'Murga Murgi', 'Katai Ghana', 'Koi To Aae Raah Dikhae', and the title song, fail to attract. G V Prakash Kumar's background score is significantly better.
Kishor Kumar's cinematography is stunning. The action in Stunner Sam is a little gory, but it works well for this type of picture. The outfits worn by Aegan Ekambaram and Anitha Sundaresan are not glamorous, but rather realistic and rustic. S S Murthi's art direction is thoroughly researched. Hybrid 360's visual effects are exceptional. Selva R K's editing could have been smoother and faster-paced.
Thangalaan Movie Review Conclusion:
The film's concept, execution by Pa Ranjith, and award-winning performance by Chiyaan Vikram contribute to its overall success. However, this is not your usual mainstream entertainer. As a result, its Hindi adaptation will require strong word-of-mouth from its target population to be successful at the box office.

STARTED BID AMOUNT – ENDED BID AMOUNT |Example
in the above pic where they had to spend only 24000000 Rs (2.4 Crores) they have spent 396000000 Rs (39.6 Crores).
i.e they could have easily saved 35 Crore rupees(just from these 8 people) and could have given it for useful purposes and unsolved issues in our country.
this concept is the same for every player
in the place of spending the required amount, they have lavishly spend
for example, if you find corporation and government school children, you may notice them they arent having proper food, clothing even slippers/ shoes. Imagine what this 35 crore rupees could have done,
say one slipper costs 200 Rs | 1,75,00,000 (1.75 Crore) slippers could have been distributed
say one day food costs 150 Rs | 23,33,333 (23 lakh) children would have had quality food for a day (or) 77,777 (77 thousand) children quality food for one month can be provided
according to my perspective, people are going to watch irrespective of what member is in what team, its just a sport and people support the sport because they love it.
SO FAR

CSK | 11 Players | spend 62.9 Crores | Have 17.1 Crores remaining
MI | 9 players | spend 64.2 Crores | Have 15.8 Crores remaining
DD | 15 players | spend 67.7 Crores | Have 12.3 Crores remaining
RCB | 14 players | spend 64.1 Crores | Have 15.9 Crores remaining
RR | 9 players | spend 56.5 Crores | Have 23.5 Crores remaining
KXIP | 10 players | spend 58.1 Crores | Have 21.9 Crores remaining
SRH | 16 players | spend 72 Crores | Have 8 Crores remaining
KKR | 13 players | spend 72.4 Crores | Have 7.6 Crores remaining
So, there has been 80 Crores alloted for each team, i.e 80 x 8 = 640 Crores | Only for selecting players to be a part of their team
for 97 players they have spent 517.9 Crore Rupees
even if they spent 1 Crore on Average for 1 Player, more than 400 Crore rupees could have been saved and contributed towards projects related to welfare of poor people
(or)
even if they spent 2 Crore on Average for 1 Player, more than 300 Crore rupees could have been saved and contributed towards projects related to welfare of poor people
IS THIS NOT POSSIBLE, THEY COULD HAVE SAVED MONEY AND GIVEN FOR OTHER CAUSES RIGHT ?
there are also some good initiatives by some cricketers like
https://www.thebetterindia.com/129274/five-cricketers-who-are-making-thousands-of-lives-better-off-field/
Lets see some top actors/ actress salaries
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
this is top 10 list taken from forbes website
in 2017, these 10 people collectively earned like $183M, that is 183,000,000 Million Dollars ( when converted to INR is 11712000000 Rupees ) more than 1100 Crore Rupees
Main source of income for them is through public
there are also other actors who demand is more, for example some of them are Kamal haassan, Rajnikanth, Vijay, Suryia, Ajith, Vikram, Prabas, Mahesh Babu, Ajay devgan, Pawan Kalyan, etc.. and more each popular in their region.
If you put all these actors profit together, how much we give for them will go drastically higher.
i am not a person against movies, infact i watch a lot of movies, there are also very good movies that come time to time which creates awareness, inspires and motivates us,
the problem is why are we spending lavishly and growing demand for these actors and actress.
But one think positive about suriya is he is running a foundation called “Agaram Foundation” which contributes towards the society https://agaram.in/
I am not sure if there are similar ones run by other actors/actress
its we the people together who grows these kind of people, and create a bigger demand for them
profession should just be a profession, but Media and Entertainment industry is way above our heads, Its become mandatory for more people since their one of the most important relaxations apart from work is food and entertainment.

if we people are able to collectively give thousands of crores to a movie
we definitely can fix issues in our country together and make it a better place for all people.
we only need to make a priority shift towards whats important leaving behind unnecessary things.
PART 2 – SALARIES OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
People who are educated and more responsible who always works towards the welfare of our country just compare their salaries to the previously discussed Entertainment and media stars and think who has to be given more importance for the growth of a nation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salary_of_Government_Officials_in_India
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-salaries-of-IAS-IPS-and-IFS-officers
Even if we complain there is corruption all over, which is a major issue and has to be solved at some point of time, we without are knowledge aren’t focusing on what is right, what is needed, what has to be done, what opportunities are available, what opportunities can be created, are we supporting right people, are we destroying our culture, tradition and values ?
PART 3 – SITUATION OF INDIA | Random Thoughts
POPULATION OF INDIA ( 1.347 Billion = 1,347,689,431 people ) | Jan 2018
http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/india-population/
INDIA IS A VERY VERY WEALTHY COUNTRY ISNT IT ?
THATS WHY ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE PLAYING WITH MONEY !!!
In India, for example, see these two articles
https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/indias-richest-1-corner-73-of-wealth-generation-oxfam-survey-1802968
India’s Biggest Problem | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cb2aQ2jz6U
Do we ever wonder why ?
RICH GET RICH & POOR GET POOR
Do we ever question ourselves ?
ARE WE BEING PURPOSEFUL WITH OUR LIVES ?
IS OUR ENVIRONMENT AND PEOPLE AROUND HAPPY AND HEALTHY ?
Do we ever stand up or support ?
TO FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY ?
and impact the 67% of population in india who are in Poverty
TO BRING IN CHANGE WITHIN & AROUND US ?
Are youngsters (Generation of tomorrow) being given the right education,
have awareness on our government and government policies ?
do we have a closer connection with our government and motivating them to go on the right track ?
Are we aware of our leaders and are we right in choosing them ?
Most rich people and organisations who earn more are doing many good things too, there are two things solved, one for them so they can get tax benefits and other for society and surroundings because some people gets directly benefited.
I understand that celebrations are very important and i am not against that fact and practice but In india we spend more for marriages, major part of that cost can be saved too !!
one thing we need to understand is difference between Leaders and Actors and we should not confuse them.
we need to make the priority shift from focusing on promoting actors to growing more leaders.
Recently we would have come across a film that is yet to be released called “PADMAN” actor Akshay Kumar featuring a great personality called Arunachalam Muruganantham
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunachalam_Muruganantham
Only after a movie comes most of the crowd is aware of such person, but he began his journey very early. this has become the state of this generation youngsters, we get to know through media and social media, but most of the newspapers and media is not doing justice to public, there are very less positive news and very less motivation.
So i feel we need a strong connection between the Public and Government, government should take initiatives in talking about positive leaders in every locality and creating awareness in all aspects as possible.
read updates and news from good websites like The Better India, YourStory, etc…
try finding some articles like, for example
https://www.thebetterindia.com/129302/coimbatore-waste-no-dumping/
and try contributing and helping their vision which in return is going to impact the welfare of the public
go with your group of friends to a nearby government school, see what issues are there and how to solve them
go with your group of friends to a nearby village and see what problems the people face and how solutions can be derived
go with your group of friends around 5 km radius and ensure there are no beggars, child labors etc…
Watch movies just as movies for fun and there is nothing more to it.
Stop watching games and start playing them with your friends in nearby grounds,atleast it becomes a little exercise and builds Team work, and new relationships.
Stop watching politics and try to go into society and solve issues. Don’t give importance to corrupt politicians rather be a leader and grow leaders.
Stop giving children the use of technology at a very young age, motive them to be with people, play sports, develop skills instead.
FIGHT FOR REAL FREEDOM BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, ELSE NOTHING CAN BE DONE IN FUTURE
FOCUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT
FOCUS ON WHAT IS MORE ATTACHED TO HEART
TOMORROW WONT BE AS TODAY
Anything for the welfare of our Country
Jai hind !
Kamalesh
