Thug Life Review: Kamal Haasan, Silambarson’s gangster drama source, then sink
Thug Life Review: Directed by Mani Ratnam, ‘Thug Life’, starring Kamal Haasan and Silambaron, is a gangster drama with emotional beats. While the film had a great set-up east-interlocutor, it falls into a deep pit in the second half and no one turns for legends like Mani Ratnam.
In short
- Kamal Haasan and Silambaron play Bandhua gangsters in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life’
- Film Trust, Betel and Gipping Gangster Drama Starts Strong Starts
- The film is directed by Mani Ratnam.
Kamal Haasan says in one of Mani Ratnam’s most spectacular shot scenes of ‘Thug Life’, “You saved me from death. Since now, you and I are one.” Dialogue, simple, is a deep touch for it. As the story moves forward, you realize that they meant what they said. Kamal Haasan’s Rangaraya Sakshewel and Silambaron’s Amar are actually one. But, what is a rift in this world of thugs? The purpose of Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life’ is to present a fully developed gangster drama contained in this question.
Rangaraya Sakathivale (Kamal Haasan) is a gangster in New Delhi and has a group of reliable colleagues, which are raised by all recruitment and Manikam (Nasar). A encounter leads to the death of a local newspaper seller. Sakshewel, who is deeply upset to see Amar, the son of a newspaper seller, takes him and picks him up with his wife Jeeva (Abhirami) as his son (Silambaron).
Many years later, Live a comfortable life in the form of Sathivale and Amar Gangsters, who take Sadanand Bhai and other local issues.
A gangster Sastivale, with a good heart, serving a two -year jail sentence after an untoward incident associated with Manikkam’s family. He nominates Amar as his successor, which will take care of things in his absence. On his return, Sakathivel realizes that while people still salute him, they now follow Amar’s leadership.
The rest of the ‘thug life’ is about the change in power dynamics, the struggle to remain a numero uno and avenge the death of a loved one.
Director Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life’ revolved the story of thugs – a belief, mistrust, jealousy, greed, betrayal, backstabing and what not! While the film did justice to present a glimpse in the lives of these thugs, it was not a long time in the big plan of things. What does a great gangster really make for the story? This is not only a violent clash between rival gangs-this is a high-dosage that is cut through it. This was all in the first half of ‘Thug Jeevan’.
Sakthivedel and Amar, the small-until the smaller gray-shhed character of the bank, the jealousy of Manikakam or the Pathros (Jujo George) had this room-the character of each character was its own arc, which promised the set-up. You know that this gang is not an adhesive together. It is in details that cheat them others. The ‘thug life’ shows that it confuses the former and Astral. Face-off scenes give you adrenaline, but the film only meets expectations.
When the second half begins, you are ‘introducing’ the colorful Sakathivale, the script of Mani Ratnam falls into a deep pit, and pulls us with her. Problem? there’s no way! The second half follows the most common trops to solve the high stakes set in the first half. The emotional core with which the film begins – showing Sathivale’s promise for Amar – completely lost because the film rands the deitors randomly.
While Rangaraya Sakathivale was an flawed person who could take his opponents in the first half, he became almost invincible in the other. Although there is an explanation for this – there is a confident on it – it rarely adds any gravity to the generic scenes staged among the major characters. When Indrani of Trisha is introduced, you expect some explosives from him. However, his character is a disappointment on a large scale.
The film is extremely verb, which cannot appeal to all. As the story is in the second half, it becomes a big issue with the film. Already with a normal screenplay, we have characters that speak borderline craing dialogues that reduce someone’s enthusiasm.
Performance-wise, Kamal Haasan and Silambaron all perform heavy-lifting in ‘thugs life’. Their well -round arcs, despite being estimated, are pleasant to see. Technically, the film is fantastic. Cinematographer Ravi Chandran’s frame, use of lens flares and framing made ‘Thug Life’ one of the best shot films in recent times. AR Rahman’s background score gives gangster drama an international experience. However, some BGM did not sit well within the story.
‘Thug Life’ begins on a great note and ‘you and I have a’ trop. Sakthivel and Amar’s life goes through ups and downs and so is a random screenplay that leads the film forward.
