Rudra Thandavam Review




 
#Rudhrathandavam is a well made commercial film... went to theatre after a very long time 😀... The propaganda that it's a casteist film or against Christianity is a good publicity for the movie... actually it is not against any community...it deals more with drug peddling and media's false propaganda, director Mohan G has maintained a right balance in exposing the anti social elements and an engaging screenplay... He has taken enough care to see that it doesn't become a documentary...

Actor Richard looks convincing as Inspector Rudra Prabhakaran...the role doesn't demand an Oscar winning performance, it needs a hero with well built physique, who can act little bit... Richard suits perfectly... hope atleast Rudra Thandavam gives him a new lease of life... Heroine Dharsha Gupta does her job, she comes only in 5-6 scenes and she did what was expected out of her...

Gautham Menon rocks as Vathapi...his sarcastic dialogues like '25 varusham service aam, kudukka chain kooda illaye' etc gets very good reception from audience... Gautam Menon should continue as an actor too... just loved his performance...

The movie mainly speaks about how the PCR act is misused...it takes guys to use the term Crypto Christians in Tamil cinema...hats off Mohan G...I have written this so many times in facebook and my blog - once you convert your religion, you cannot avail the benefits under SC category... it's really sad to see censor muting the dialogue that 'if you can't use your caste after converting, who will convert'... that's what the movie is all about

Director hits sixer by casting Radharavi as lawyer Indeasena...his dialogues like 'Ambedkar is not a leader for one particular community, he is a national leader...he should be celebrated on par with Mahatma Gandhi',' i feel proud to belong to 'pattiyal community(SC)'...

Music director Jubin's bgm is perfect, songs(I think just 2 songs), could have been bit better... very happy to see Vajpayee's photo in court... Malavika Avinash comes looks dignified as a judge...

More than all these points, I appreciate the director for exposing the media's vulture like behaviour... you can relate Puthuyathalaimurai, Sun tv , b grade websites like the news minute, to the scenes shown in the movie...movie explains how these so called youtubers twist the incidents and brings in casteist angle out of nowhere, how protests are stages etc...no wonder these channels are screaming 😀

There's a character named Anwar bhai, he is a honest NCB(Narcotics Control Bureau) official...Joseph(Thambhi Ramaiya) is such an honest man, who almost dies being honest and loyal... Indeasena (Radharavi) is a brilliant lawyer, who says how casteism can divide the people...Jayam S K Gopi as a honest DC...Deepa as Maran's mother(SC) with a brilliant emotional performance in the climax expresses concerns about how drugs has ruined the next generation...

If you observe all the characters above, they all are shown as people from the same communities which the vulture media claims has been projected in bad light...yet this movie is communal according to our press(I don't want to complete that word, then our feminists will abuse me)...

With absolutely no star value(except Gautam Menon), this director is able to create a curiosity and deliver commercial hits without compromising on his ideology... my respect for this man has increased...

Only Mohan G has the guts to expose that politician who comes in blue shirt with cooling glass 😀 




Rudra Thandavam - an enjoyable dance of the 'right', probably the first time in the history of Tamil cinema... you can watch it with your family in theatres with all precautions...
