Review
The Thunivu movie got positive reviews from critics and audiences. Over 15k people rated this movie 7.1 stars out of 10 stars on IMDb, which are positive reviews from audiences. M. Suganth from The Times of India rated this movie 3 stars out of 5 stars and said “Despite raising many relevant questions about the operations of our financial institutions and the impact that has on the common man, the film’s refusal to show it as something that affected the protagonist directly makes it impossible to root for him whole-heartedly. And when the film turns into a logic-defying chase on the sea, we begin to wonder if guts alone can be enough for glory“.
Janani K from India Today rated this film 3 stars out of 5 stars and said “Overall, Thunivu is a film that brings back the Ajith we have enjoyed in the past. With an excellent premise, the film has a lot to offer. But, remember to look past the flaws“. Sudhir Srinivasan from Cinema Express rated the film 3 stars out of 5 stars and said “Like when a bad guy asks AK for forgiveness and he retorts, “But your CIBIL score is low.” That there is violence worth the price of the ticket“.
