The same old story of revenge, love, family sentiment returns
in the name of Thenavattu produced by Sun Pictures. For Jeeva
who generally chooses varied and challenging characters, this
film will be just one more addition to his kitty and nothing
more. Poonam Bajwa the heroine who has nothing to offer.

Jeeva
comes to Chennai from Madurai in search of employment.
He mistakes his boss Ravi Kale to be a good timber depot
industrialist and makes for him sickle, saw and other
tools for cutting. However Ravi Kale is a local dada
whose job is to kill people.
Jeeva meets Poonam Bajwa in a temple and as can be predicted
by a toddler, they fall in love. Meanwhile Ravi Kale's
son Sabi who happens to a womanizer eyes Poonam Bajwa
who somehow escapes his clutches. Rajan P Dev who is
a minister with the ruling party abets the carnages
of Kale et al and the desperadoes always go scot-free.
There is also an assistant commissioner Sai Kumar whose
sister was wronged and killed by the villain clan and
he is raging in anger to settle scores with them. The
rest of the film deals with how the enemy camp gets
decimated by the hero gang and about the revenge saga.
Debutant director V V Kathir who is in charge of story,
screen play and direction should have taken extra care
especially when this happens to be his first film. When
many new directors with innovative ideas enter the fray
everyday, Kathir's work does not speak much. |

Music
by Srikanth Deva does not impress. Cinematography is just
ordinary. Stunt scenes by Sumo Arasu do not try anything new.
Thenavattu is for people who just adore illogical masala flicks.
Verdict
- Old wine in an older bottle
