After Malaikottai Vaaliban and Barroz disappointed fans and Empuraan left people unsure, Thudarum is being called Mohanlal’s true return to powerful, content driven cinema. Is this the emotional thriller we’ve been waiting for since Drishyam?
The first 45 minutes may test your patience, but once it gets going—there’s no looking back.
The second half? Pure gold. And yes, Jakes Bejoy’s background score recorded in Budapest only adds to it.
Mohanlal plays Shanmughan, a taxi driver whose life goes for a toss. Without spoiling anything—let’s just say this might be his most grounded role in years. It’s subtle, it’s strong and hits you when you least expect it.
But not the loud, massy kind. This is a comeback rooted in substance. Tharun Moorthy gives Lalettan a canvas where less is more and emotions speak louder than action. It’s cinema with soul.
If you loved Drishyam for its layered emotions and family stakes, Thudarum is a must watch.
Mohanlal is back—not with whistles and punchlines but with silence, emotion and storytelling that stays with you.
