Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017) :
Brief Review -
The Father of all Cop-dramas made in the entire decade with solid branding of mass-mania. Listing out the best cop films of 2010s decade which includes mass films like 'Singham' (2011), 'Thani Oruvan' (2015), and mystery like 'Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru' (2016), and yet Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru beats all of them because of extremely explosive nature and solid writing. Thani Oruvan still had mass elements but went wrong with couple of advanced techniques of storytelling while Dhuruvangal Pathiaaru, a murder mystery went on to leave one or two loopholes which are big threats to its genre. Theeran came out as a complete package of entertainment, romance, thrill, action, passion and very honest story which is not at all a regular thing for cop-dramas. Especially, when you consider action-packed films. Breaking all the barriers of limited and senseless content, Theeran rides high on human oriented content without using larger than life idiotisms. Theeran, a police officer, is entrusted with the task to solve the mystery behind a series of murders. The only clue left behind is that all the murders are committed in the same pattern. The film begins on a weak and light note where it sets love-story and basic characters of the film but once all is settled, it gears up and then never stops until it reaches its destination. Using realistical theories like bandits, dacoits and robbers from regional areas have given it a solid boost as far as sensibility is concerned and then additional momentum and passionate scenics provides big time entertainment. Overall, Theeran packs a great punch and dethrones all the regular cop-dramas but most importantly it doesn't lose the basics of prime filmmaking which is very rare in this genre. It deserves remakes in multiple languages.
RATING - 7.5/10*
