For a long time, Tamil Cinema wanted to see an Antagonist who is
brainy rather than being brawny since the villain roles have become
very much cliched in the movies where the antagonist would be there
just make sure the protagonist is shown and lauded as Hero for his
daredevilry.
Thani Oruvan (2015) directed by M.Raja with story from Subha
brought a new and promising premise of battle between Good and
Bad where the Villain would Act and the Hero would react. This movie
was a career defining movie for Jayam Raviplaying Mithran IPS (
one of his best character roles in recent years ) and mainly Arvind
Swamy who aced the role of Siddarth Abhimanyu just icing the
character on the screen with panache and charisma who finally
ended up being the show stealer on the movie.
The title justifies the Protagonist and Antagonist as a Single Person
who traverse on different paths for which seems to be the right one
for them and they do succeed on the same with their own thought
process paving the way for the same.Like they say a Great Hero
needs a Greater Villain, here the same was followed and succeeded.
The intensity in Mithran’s character is the exact balance of the moral
anger inside him and his anxiety to snitch his most prized target
;Siddarth Abhimanyu.
The movie when seen from a Social Angle depicts that all small
crimes and antisocial acts are just a fitting piece of puzzle in a bigger
picture which is completely blindfolded by the Megalomaniacs and
Corporate Giants from the eyes of common man. The movie
emphasized on how the minor and major events are interlinked and
relatively affecting the lives of the common public without disrupting
their daily lives.
Coming to the movie, the movie’s success is a complete Teamwork
from all ends. The most important factor was the Character Design
and Depiction on screen which hit the ball out of the park. Siddharth
Abhimanyu’s character is always cool, never loses his calm and
temper, never shouts lines in decibels instead handles all matters in
phone calls with a bluetooth headset always with him. By this he
always outshines all the hurdles and threats posed by the
Protagonist.

The dialogues are placed pitch perfect for the characters and the
situations that it does not seem like the they were placed intentionally
to spice up the scene. Some of the best scenes would the one when
Mahima (played by Nayanthara ) advices Mithran that his anxiety has
become his addiction which is killing him slowly and the one where
Siddarth Abhimanyu gets to know about Mithran, instead of going for
the big kill decides to bring him down morally.

This movie is one such rare gem in Tamil Cinema that it will be always
remain eternal for its theme, making and presentation on screen with
class and style. This movie was the game changer for Jayam Raja
and Jayam Ravi and also gave a confidence that good story can
always make good cinema when presented unadulterated.
