Finally, managed to watch Thupparivaalan (துப்பறிவாளன்) movie.
Mysskin films are generally idiosyncratic and Thupparivaalan is no different. It starts off on a slower pace, but picks up speed and leads to an interesting intermission. Movie is heavily inspired by Sherlock Holmes, but good enough for local audience.
Plot is gripping generally, though lags a bit in some places. Lesser dialogues by antagonists was very welcoming. Vinay didn't look too convincing as a villain, but must admit, he had his own style. Bhagyaraj has donned an unusual role in the movie. Could not understand Andrea's role at all. Vishal was good, but his outfits for Chennai weather made me, one watching, feel sweaty and hot.. :) He has portrayed the role of a sociopathic investigator well. Despite being an assistant to Kaniyan, Prasanna makes an impact in his own way. I loved the scene where Mallika attends to Kaniyan's bruises and Prasanna tries to escape, realising the under-played affection between them.. Speaking of love, the one between protagonist and his domestic help is worth a mention and something unseen before. I liked it!
Background music is okay. All in all, it is Mysskin's movie through and through! Worth watching!
