Karthi’s terrific performance and director Vinoth’s well researched racy screenplay makes this a must-watch Don’t miss it! Review
How do you find a needle in a haystack? That adage describes the story of a Tamil Nadu police officer who was determined to bring to justice a group of criminals out on a rampage for almost a decade.
With just a fingerprint as a clue, Theeran arrives in Rajasthan with a group of subordinates to nab the dreaded dacoit leader Oma Singh in Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru.
Director H Vinoth takes viewers on this investigative trail that keeps you hooked onto the screen with its gritty screenplay and a nail biting finish.
The story dates back to 1997 when a group of dacoits looted houses situated on the ChennaiBengaluru highway, leaving behind a trail of dead bodies. Theeran (played by Karthi), following his posting in Ponneri, begins investigating these cases but is given little support by his seniors until a local MLA’s house is targeted by dacoits and is killed too.
With the case now getting its due importance, Theeran’s long journey begins.
Unlike the regular cop stories of Tamil cinema, Vinoth’s story is about an ordinary policeman who takes his duty seriously and with pride. Karthi’s Theeran is unlike the roaring Singham Durai of Singham, with loud dialogues and actions, but a lion that prowls business like in pursuit of its victim. And, that makes Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru believable. It’s clearly a career defining role for Karthi, who projects Theeran Rakul Preet Singh and Karthi. is currently showing in the UAE.
