| Hero
and heroine meet at the altar of death. The ensuing discussion
between them just before taking away their lives leads them
to complete their unfulfilled desires and get back to their
original mission of killing themselves. When they consume
sleeping pills and are in their last minutes battling for
life, they fall in love. Whether the duo survives or dies
or one of them dies leaving behind the other has been narrated
with the help of Vadivelu by director Shakthi Paramesh who
has worked as assistant director in many films. Thavam is
produced by action king Arjun. |

Arun
Vijay is one such actor who is struggling to come
to the forefront in tinsel town despite being talented.
His hard work is palpable in dance, music and stunt
sequences but somehow something seems to be missing
somewhere. Debutant heroines Vandana and Arpitha’s
generosity in skin show does not make an impact.
Vadivelu- He shines in any kind of role and if at
all the film evokes some kind of interest, the credit
goes only to Vaigai Puyal. He dons the role of a petty
thief in the film. He steals the jewels from people
in the beach and makes his escape in a horse. When
the affected party complains to the owner of the horse,
he reassures them calmly saying that the horse would
return to the same spot and that they would get back
the jewels.

True
to his words, the horse returns and Vadivelu gets beaten.
Though the sequence is stale as it can get, it is made enjoyable
by the performance of this veteran actor with his typical
body language and the right timing of dialogues. As it has
become his established trend, Vennira Aadai Moorthy revels
in double entendres. Kalaivani as the mother of Arun Vijay
gives the viewers an arduous time. The director has failed
to etch her character properly and one is totally at a loss
of her presence in the film.
On the technical front, D Imman’s music as well as
background score are appalling and so are the lyrics. As
the sequences right from the start to the finish tread on
an expected path, it is difficult to get involved with the
film. There is no depth in story, screenplay and narration
is weak and pathetic.
Verdict - can be missed
