A well-made prison-break drama that engages you in parts.
Hridhu Haroon's looks are tailor-made for the character, and his power-packed performance really helps to hold the viewer's attention throughout. It doesn't really seem like his debut, as he overshadows most of his co-stars in the film. Munishkanth's one-liners in the second half do help to create l... (more)

Choreographer-director Brinda had mentioned in an interaction with us that she wanted her sophomore film Thugs to be as racy as a trailer.
Having seen her film, I can say she has delivered exactly that with this remake of Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil (2018). Unlike the original which begins with the events that lead the protagonist into a prison, Thugs takes us into the prison right away, and drops an engrossing slow-mo action scene set in the rain.
There’s no time to breathe, and we are planted directly into the claustrophobic world of a prison. The film then goes on to reveal the back story using a non-linear narrative, and this helps pile on the suspense factor.
Despite largely being loyal to the original film, this remake comes off as less complex. Some ideas from the original are knocked off here, including the lawyer character played by Lijo Jose Pellissery, the heroine getting trapped in an asylum, and the murder of an SI. This means that this film is entirely focused on the prison break.
Thugs also spells out a few scenes, as opposed to the more subtle and ambiguous take in the original Malayalam film. Where a character, Sethu (Hridhu Haroon), stops short of escaping the prison at an earlier stage, in this film, he holds the rope, climbs it, and then, decides otherwise.
The question then is, with cops monitoring him in close proximity, how does he get away with it? But these are minor inconveniences in a remake that retains the soul of the original.
The escape plan isn’t exactly perfect or inventive. Sethu and the boys seem inspired by Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption and dig their way to freedom using a tool that’s smuggled into the cell.
But unlike in the Frank Darabont film, where the plan of the protagonist is one of the greatest reveals of all time, here we travel along with the lead characters from the beginning and know what they are up to. Though new obstacles keep popping up, they get resolved by Sethu quite easily.
When problems are beyond his capacity, the screenplay steps in to resolve things for him. For instance, Durai (Bobby) the biggest aid of Sethu, gets framed and is moved to the district jail, but in weeks, he returns, with a rather silly excuse masquerading as a twist.
The technical excellence in Thugs makes up for such convenient writing though. The loudness of Sam CS’s background music might feel overdone, but they help lift the high moments. Praveen Antony’s editing manages to stop the film from feeling rushed and brings in some much-needed balance.
Though Thugs doesn’t offer great scope for the actors to flex their prowess, the invested performance of Hridhu as an astute prisoner keeps the film going; he is great with the action too. Bobby Simha delivers a restrained performance and is an asset too. Actors Munishkanth and RK Suresh shine too, as the naive yet wily inmate and a brutish jailor, respectively.
For a prison break film to be effective, it’s important that we empathise with the protagonist and root for him. Here though, he is a perpetrator and there’s no urgent reason why he should get out immediately. That his girlfriend is safe in the outside world only dilutes the urgency of his escape. Largely though, the remake—bereft of any writing credits—does justice to the original, even if you are not exactly cheering for the escaping prisoners.

Vijay's "GOAT" Breaks Box Office Records Ahead of Release: Vijay's highly anticipated 68th film, "The Greatest of All Time" (GOAT), directed by Venkat Prabhu, is poised to make an unprecedented impact on the box office as it prepares for a grand release tomorrow. The film, which showcases Vijay in dual roles, has already set several records even before its official debut.
Produced by AGS Entertainment, "GOAT" will be released on an impressive 5,000 screens worldwide. This massive distribution is a testament to the film's widespread appeal and the excitement surrounding its release. In Tamil Nadu, the film is set to be screened on 1,100 screens, reflecting Vijay's substantial fan base in the region. The anticipation extends beyond Tamil Nadu, with "GOAT" scheduled to release on approximately 700 screens in Kerala. Gokulam Films, which holds the distribution rights in Kerala, has arranged around 4,000 shows for the film's opening day.
The film's extensive screen count in Kerala makes "GOAT" the highest screen count film from outside the state. The film is also generating significant buzz in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, where screenings will commence as early as 4 AM. The early start times in these states indicate a strong demand from fans, many of whom have already secured their tickets in advance.
The advance booking for "GOAT" has been nothing short of phenomenal. Tickets sold out within minutes of becoming available, and the initial revenue figures are impressive. Reports indicate that "GOAT" has already earned ₹16 crore from advance bookings in Tamil Nadu alone. The film has also grossed₹5.5 crore in the United States,₹1.3 crore in Kerala, and₹3.4 crore in Karnataka.
With a total advance collection exceeding₹30 crore, "GOAT" has already surpassed the lifetime earnings of Rajinikanth's "Lal Salaam," which earned₹30 crore globally this year. This achievement underscores the immense anticipation and fan support for Vijay's latest film, setting a new benchmark in the industry before its official release.
