For the past one week, there are only two words uttered in Tamil Nadu - Diwali & Thuppaki (both positive & negative comments).

Thuppaki movie will be one of the best movies in Vijay’s career - Murugadoss

Thanks to Vijay TV for showing Thuppaki Trailer. You saved me Rs.200 -- Anti-Vijay fans

Which is the truth? Let’s see the review as a Common Man.

Story: Vijay is an army man who comes to his native Mumbai for his vacation. Bomb blasts happen in Mumbai. What Vijay does forms the story of the movie. Story may look simple but screenplay of the movie was handled intelligently. Movie runs for 2 hours and 45 minutes and you will never get bored mostly.

Vijay's intro song was "Kutti Puli Kootam". Though the song was average, Vijay's extraordinary dance moments add great value to the song.

Vijay looks very stylish in the movie. He is really BACK with a good movie. He has acted really well. He had underplayed a lot in this movie when compared to his recent movies and that is really great for him. Shankar said that people who don’t like Vijay also will start liking him after Nanban. I am quite sure that few Vijay fans that changed after his consecutive movies with similar stories will start loving him yet again.

Scenes between Vijay and Kajal are the major highlights of the movie. There is lots of comedy scenes between them and it was really too good. Kajal really looks very beautiful in the movie and had done a wonderful job.

Vidyut is the villain in this movie. His first movie was Billa 2. His initial scenes resembled Johny in 7 am arivu. He had done a fantabulous job and thereby makes the movie much more interesting as the full movie revolves around him and Vijay only.

Sathyan is the comedian in the movie. But, Jayaram easily wins the crowd's heart as a comedian. Each and every scene he comes, there was huge roar in the theater.

Fight scenes in the movie had really come out very well and it is very much believable.

A R Murugadoss: Even Vijay’s fans were teasing him when 7 am Arivu got released as Velayudham released along with that movie. Vijay fans will be PRAISING him like anything after watching this movie and he truly deserves the credit. What a SCREENPLAY...He has believed in INTELLIGENCE much more than GUN. Instead of Vijay shooting the enemies with gun, he plans everything cleverly and wins against them.

Music by Harris Jayaraj was very average. But, surprisingly back ground music of this movie was much better than his recent movies. Google Google song was the highlight of the movie and people who watch the movies in first 3 days will not be able to hear the song for sure. Poi Varava was nice melody and it had been placed at right place. Vennilavae song picturization was good but it was misplaced in the movie.

Santosh Sivan is the 1st cameraman in Asia to get into the elite club of American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) membership. Each and every Indian should be proud of him. What else can I say about him? He has rocked in Cinematography.

Overall, it is definitely the biggest DIWALI TREAT for Vijay Fans. They will get much more than what they expected from this movie. Vijay fans will watch this movie at least thrice.

For Common Man, due to wonderful screenplay and Vijay's stylish acting, they will like it.

Rating for this movie as Common Man - 3.5 / 5

As hardcore Vijay fan - 4.5 / 5
