It isn’t just these ideological problems though. For a film spotted with so much violence, Thilagar sorely lacks energy. This has to do, in part, with the snail-paced manner in which its major scenes play out. The film doesn’t even end in a satisfying manner, choosing instead ‘a message ending’. Even the ceremonial item number, featuring Neetu Chandra, hardly makes an impact. In its own way, it sums up the film — a lot of gun powder, no explosion.
