Film Review A faster screenplay, more focus on the bonds between family members, and a few more expressions for Jyothika could have definitely elevated this hill station drama.Priyanka ThirumurthySet in the picturesque and calm surrounds of a hill station in Mettupalayam district, Thambi starts off as a family drama with shots of a woman haunted by memories of her missing brother. Parvathi (Jyothika) is clearly missing her sibling Saravanan, who ran away from home 15 years ago, the vast fields around her amplifying the sense of emptiness. Saravanan’s absence also affects her father Gnanamoorthi, played by Sathyaraj, a local politician. His political career slides as the opposition asks how he would take care of civilians when he could barely manage his child. But the movie changes gears when the family receives information that Saravanan could be in Goa and Sathyaraj immediately leaves to find him. Enter Vikki (Karthi), an...

InterviewThe director also spoke to Tnm about his upcoming release 'Thambi' with Karthi and Jyotika in the lead.CrisThere is a certain charm to Jeethu Joseph’s unaltered Ernakulam dialect. None of the polishing of words one might expect of a man who has been moving around a lot, making films in three different languages. Malayalam, of course, is where he started and would like to keep making movies in the industry. But then circumstances and an awful lot of success out of his 2013 film Drishyam pulled him to other shores. Ready now with his first original Tamil film Thambi (Papanasam was a remake of Drishyam), starring Jyotika and Karthi, Jeethu sounds content with the choices he has made so far. Only perhaps a little mindful of the ‘brand’ he has unintentionally earned as a maker of ‘thriller movies’. “I don’t know how it came. I made...

The plot is intriguing with Jyotika and Karthi sharing the screen space for the first time. From the trailer which is a little over two minutes, the movie seems to be about a prodigal son, Saravanan (played by Karthi) who returns home after a long gap of 15 years. Sathyaraj plays the role of his father and Jyotika his elder sister. Though the parents are convinced that their son has returned, Jyotika, her grandmother and many others in the family are not too convinced about the identity of Saravanan. What follows is a mix of laughter, action and suspense, with Saravanan also shown entering politics. The trailer also has Anson Paul playing the role of...
