Together with his best friend, Sarath (Jagapathi Babu), they were on a mission to revolves the bomb blasters which later lead them to London. Meanwhile, SivaKumar marries Meenakshi (Anushka), an eye surgeon. The marriage was arranged by SivaKumar's mom.

After their marriage, Meenakshi sets a rule in their relationship where their bond has to start from friendship followed by love. At the same time, she has no clue on SivaKumar's real job designation until they came across the party. The love story that blossom between SivaKumar and Meenakshi beautifully picturized by the director. SivaKumar who was on a mission to capture the bomb blast activist was perfectly trapped in a tight situation. The situation gets worst when he finds out the man behind the mission. As a result, SivaKumar lost his vision in term of saving his love ones during a tragic bomb blast.
THE CAST
Vikram - His dedication towards his work totally remarkable. He is able to carry any task wonderfully to bring his character to live. He does not have lengthy dialogues as his body language speaks for his character.
Anushka - She portraits a beautiful character and plays her role well as she carries an important character in the movie. The lovable bond between her character and Vikram's character perfectly performed and narrates the romance beautifully.
Amy Jackson - After the success debut in Madarasapattinam, she returns to A L Vijay's narration but this time in a modern style as Sarah Vinayagam, the Miss London winner who later have a crush on Kenny. Her beauty without a doubt fits her character. Unfortunately, her character were shading off towards the movie. Being a talented actress, Amy Jackson should have be given the sparks to rise her career in this film. Yet, I could not figure out why is it necessary to include her character as a born British Indian who speaks Tamil. It not going to effect the movie at any cause if her character speaks purely in her own native.
Jagapati Babu - He dons a role who is the best friend for Vikram's character. Besides being in a supportive role, he performs his character perfectly as he carries one of the important role in this story.
Nasser - He plays a Sri Lankan officer who investigates the crime n leads the story. Nasser's experience in the industry totally whelming his character which is presented well.
THE DIRECTOR
A L Vijay venture continues after back to back hit from Kireedom, Madrasapattinam, n DeivaThirumagal. He brought back the entire team from DeivaThirumagal with Amy Jackson, Jagapati Babu and Lakshmi Rai as addition. After the wonderful eye tearing DeivaThirumagal, A L Vijay came with an action pack film.
"An Unusual Revenge Story" - NOT!!! its just another typical revenge story about a man having his own vendetta for the lost of his love one. The only unusual about this story is about echolocation method which A L Vijay has to be given high credit for introduction this method to the audiences. In addition, A L Vijay introduces Daniel Krish, an expert in the echolocation method. In fact, as a blind person himself, Daniel Krish was the founder of this method. Another big applause for A L Vijay for picturing a beautiful love story between the two main lead. It definitely will flow deeply to audience heart. In DeivaThirumagal, A L Vijay perfectly the love bond between a father and his daughter, this time he emphasis the love bond in newly married couple.
As part of portraying a beautiful love story, as I mentioned, it is an ordinary revenge story. While having a perfect master plan to trap SivaKumar who was on a mission to revolve the bomb blast activist, the plot are kindly predictable. The family bond during the arrangements of SivaKumar's wedding which includes awards winners Thambi Ramaiah and Saranya as well as comedian M S Bhaskar to cast as cameo which should have been extracted to entertain the audience more. Besides that, Amy Jackson's role should have been given a strong impact in the movie. Being a talented actress herself, she deserve to be in top performing role.
Director Rating : 3 / 5
Nirav Shah is very well known for his camera handling. Never fails to visualize the audiences with his talent. His camera angles and shots delivers the flow of the story perfectly.
MUSIC
G V Prakash Kumar - A L Vijay combination delivers superior melodies for the audience but this time not all the songs are close deep to the heart as their previous movies. Not really the type of the songs that people would hear again and again. Fortunately,song such Uyirin Uyire totally mesmerizes deeply to the audience as it was melodiously composed by G V Prakash Kumar.
Music Rating : 2.5 / 5
THANDAVAM - Not an unusual revenge story as it mentioned. The introduction to echolocation method and appearances by Daniel Krish totally deserving A L Vijay a big applause of credits. Vikram with an interesting character without lengthy dialogues, focusing more in body language and expression. A beautiful love bond between two couple. 'Uyirin Uyire' lovely composed but shown at the wrong sequences. A predictable storyline especially after the flashback was revealed. A remarkable camerawork with slow and predicted storyline.
MOVIE RATING : 2.5 / 5
*NOT A REVIEW JUST MY THOUGHTS*
