Vishal had earned action-hero tag with ‘Sandai Kozhi’, and his performance in ‘Thimiru’ has consolidated his position. It is an action-packed entertainer with right dose of commercial elements to attract the masses. Its story is water-thin yet debutante director Tharun Gopi has managed to make it interesting all through.

Ganesh (Vishal) comes to Chennai to pursue medical course. His professor’s daughter Srimathy (Reema Sen) wants to meet him for helping her out of the clutches of some bad guys. They are surprised on meeting each other, as they know each other earlier. However, a group of bad guys is after them. A flashback unravels another story.

Eswari (Shreya Reddy) is a merciless woman, who lends out money at an exorbitant rate. She causes trouble to families that fail to repay on time. Srimathy’s family is also one of the victims and it is Ganesh who helps them out. However, Eswari wants to marry Ganesh. She goes to the extent of forcing him to marry her by kidnapping his parents. In the meantime, Eswari dies. Now, her brothers Periya Karuppu (Manoj K Jayan) and Veerasamy (Vijayan) hold Ganesh responsible for her death. They are after Ganesh now. Ganesh comes to Chennai to lead a peaceful life but is forced to take up weapon to do away with the bad guys.

Vishal is just two films old but he has improved by many folds. His performance and body language are commendable. Reema Sen’s role is small yet she has done it sweetly. VJ-turned-actress Shreya Reddy deserves praises for taking up such a challenging role. She has delivered the right goods. Vadivelu has succeeded in bringing the house down. Other cast like Manoj K Jayan, former football player I M Vijayan, Manickam Vinayakam and Banuchander are fine. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music is racy and Kanal Kannan's stunts are great. However, the second half of the film is a bit lengthy with unnecessary stunts.

On the whole, it is a good entertainer. Debutante director Tharun Gopi deserves a warm pat from the back for this good piece of work. Vishal can look forward to a hat trick hits with this film.
