Thirunaal Movie Review The Hindu

Recommended

The biggest problem in Thirunaal is that it does not chart Blade’s transformation from animal to human being. In an early scene, Blade forces a man to sell his house at a lower price by using the latter’s daughter as a bargaining chip. The daughter is a cop. She’s on duty. Blade kidnaps her, strips her (this isn’t shown, but a line of dialogue later leaves us in little doubt about what he did), and sends her uniform to her father as a threat. The poor man does what’s needed to free her, and when she’s let go, this female cop can do nothing but seethe silently.
