Thillalangadi tells the story of a very successful professional who just does not find life interesting. He is too smart to be challenged by the ordinary daily grind of office work and soon starts. He finds life boring and decides that something interesting has to be done to spice it up. The path that he chooses to spice up his life is not easy, safe or legal. How does this affect his life and love?

The spilt genius theme has not been often handled in Kollywood and so will have a unique feel. Jayam Ravi plays the role that Ravi Teja excelled in Kick. He will be looking forward for a big box office hit. His last release Peraanmai gained a lot of appreciation and was noticed for his makeover to the action mould. Now, he will be trying something entirely different. That is not to say that Thillalangadi is short of action. There seems to be plenty in it. Shaam, who repeats his role from the Telugu version, will be eager to put his Kollywood career back on track. And, Tamannah, the new hit machine of Kollywood will perhaps be the lucky mascot of the film.

Thillalangadi will also have a lot of emphasis on comedy. There seems to be quite a lot of footage on Vadivelu and it looks like a few famous scenes from recent movies have been spoofed. It definitely is going to be a laugh fest if he gets into top gear. He also has Santhanam for company which will make matters even funnier.

Others in the cast include experienced artistes such as Prabhu and Suhasini. Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and Thaman Sai is peppy and energetic.

With a hit team behind it and an already successful original showing the way, Thillalangadi has the odds going for it at the box office.
