This film has once again shown Vikrams extraordinary acting talents, Cinematography and screen play are awesome but the story falls short of expectation as it can be easily guessed and has a lot of flaws. G.V.Prakash kumar's 25th film once again a beautiful job by him BGM's and songs are good to hear. Director Vijay has done a good work ,keeps the audience engaged to the film which has comedy,romance,sentiments and entertainment.

The main plus of the film would be the knowledge of Echo Location for the audience, Jagapathy babu has done a very good job ,Amy and anushka have done good jobs but lakshmi rai has not got much of scenes. santhanam scores in the first half an hour.The film can satisfy unless we don't have much of expectation.
THANDAVAM can be rated a 3 out of 5 :)
