“Thug Life Reviews: Kamal-Mani Ratnam Film Disappoints”

The much-awaited gangster film Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam and co-written by Kamal Haasan, has finally hit theaters. The movie had high expectations, especially because it marks the return of two legends of Tamil cinema. But early reviews suggest it’s a letdown.
Storyline:
Set in a gritty underworld, the movie follows mafia boss Sakthivel (played by Kamal Haasan) and his brother Manickam. They save a young boy, Amaran, during a shootout. As the boy grows up, a tragic incident breaks their family apart. This pushes Sakthivel to seek revenge, even if it costs him everything.
Cast:
The film stars Trisha Krishnan, Silambarasan TR, Joju George, Ali Fazal, and Rohit Saraf. It tries to mix family emotions with gangster-style action.
Audience Reaction:
Despite all the buzz, viewers were disappointed. Many took to social media to express their frustration. Some said the script was weak and the second half made no sense. Others felt actors like Joju George and Trisha were wasted in the film. A few people liked Silambarasan’s performance and praised the cinematography. But most felt the background music, pacing, and emotional connection were missing.
Final Verdict:
Thug Life had great potential but didn’t deliver. Even fans of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam are urging others to skip it.
