Review:
Irumbu Thirai is not just any other film that talks about hackers, this one is quite different, mainly because it creates fear inside you when you walk out of the theatre. It is so hard-hitting and informative. There are so many technical terms involved in the narrative, so it is important that you stay completely focused right through. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a section of the audience not able to follow the script due to the complexity involved in it.
The director seems to have so much of anger towards this concept called personal information theft. He has beautifully built an action script based on it that can be loved by people from all walks of life. At places you might wonder if the director is blowing up the issue a little much, but that’s unavoidable because he needs to create an impact in a short span of time. It sure is one of the most confidently made debuts in Tamil cinema. Mithran’s hard work and self-confidence is evident from what he has offered us.
The tall and well built Vishal has no problems convincing the viewer of his army background and needless to say that he excels in the fight scenes, especially the climax encounter with Arjun. He scores in the emotional department too when he bursts out to his father Delhi Ganesh accusing him of spoiling his life. Action King Arjun as the sauve and tech savvy villain Sathyamoorthy aka White Devil approaches his role with subtlety and his minute expressions add color to the character. His punch line that he is the scorpion and all his victims are thieves is received by thunderous applause and Yuvan Shankar Raja does his bit by composing a killer theme for him. Samantha is an eyeful as the psychiatrist Rathi Devi and she too gets her mass moment when she leads the villains into a trap set by the hero. Robo Shankar's comedy musters a smile most of the time and we can say welcome back Delhi Ganesh for yet another standout performance. Kaali Venkat, Vincent Asokan and Madhusoodhanan are also in the cast along with a few who are uniformly good.
Yuvan’s songs are functional, his background score is pulsating and plays an integral part in the movie especially during the pre-interval point and during the scenes where Vishal and Arjun meet. George C Williams’ camerawork looks flawless while Ruban’s editing is seamless and makes sure that the movie is not boring one bit even though the runtime is close to 2 hours 45 minutes.
