Stills From Thoranai
"Thoranai", a Tamil-Telugu bilingual blunder made by director Saba, features the expressionless wonder-cum-brawn bundle Vishal along with Shriya Saran. Thoranai is an interesting family entertainer laced with action and humour.
The movie went to floors with Vishal's introductory song shot in Karaikudi in a huge set erected resembling a village festival.
Aiming for an intelligent action-flick is good but when you have cheesy dialogues, cringe-worthy platitudes, songs shot in Ladakh which make no sense, and a climax that is downright pathetic, nothing works. Nowhere does Vishal's character use his brains — only considerable brawn, and that makes for a very tedious second half.
Vishal's fans might be ecstatic at their star's new movie — but Thoranai's only merit is that it's marginally better than Sathyam. And that's no merit at all.
