Release Date and OTT

Released in theaters worldwide on 31 October 2024 during Diwali along with Bhai Amaran and Bloody Bagger.

The satellite and OTT streaming rights were sold to Zee Tamil and ZEE5.

Writing/Directing:

The film is an ordinary M. Rajesh begins like a film, introducing the characters and explaining their lives through voice-overs. The problem is not familiarity, but the overuse of every common Tamil cinema cliché in one story. It is not considered a complete comedy, but attempts at humor fail to impress. The family drama is handled poorly, with serious conflicts over the woman’s self-respect at times. However, the setup doesn’t prepare the audience for this theme, making it feel disconnected. A flashback in the second half about Jayam Ravi’s birth adds some interest but feels pointless. His sudden change of heart is acceptable, but his actions after that are not consistent with the movie’s message. The screenplay never ends with dull scenes and weak characters. The title “Thambi” is overused, as everyone, from the servant to the doctor and even his future father-in-law, calls him “brother”, so he feels pressured. A little twist in the climax. Brings a hint of Rajesh’s usual style, but not enough to save the film.

Performance:

Jayam Ravi does well in the second half, especially in the emotional scenes with his brother. Priyanka Mohan struggles with expression, making her performance chaotic. VTV Ganesh’s jokes fall flat and isolated comedy tracks feel boring and unnecessary. Bhumika and her in-laws have some importance in the story, but their roles feel awkward due to their weak characters. Satish looks like a caricature, resembling the comedy role of Beast.

Technical:

The song “Makkamishi” stands out as a vibe-worthy track, while others are decent but repetitive in style. The background score feels lazy, with recycled music that doesn’t match the visuals. The scenes rely on repetitive angles and overuse hand-held shots, which fail to capture the beauty of Ooty. Editing struggles to fix uninteresting scenes, and dialogue, effects, and sound mix badly, with the music clashing in many parts.

Verdict:

The humor is weak, and emotional scenes become unintentionally comical. With lazy storytelling and uninspired direction, the movie has little to offer.
