Thudarum Review – Vintage Mohanlal is Back, and It’s Fabulous!
If there’s one word to describe Thudarum, it’s fabulous.
I finally got the chance to watch Thudarum, and honestly, it felt like watching the classic Mohanlal I grew up loving — full of charm, effortless humor, and scenes that tug at your heart in the most genuine way.
Mohanlal's Vintage Vibe
What makes this film so special?
It’s not just another Mohanlal movie — it’s a return to form. The jokes? They land. They’re not dark, not layered with sarcasm, not something only a niche group would understand (like in Monster or Aaraattu). These are genuine jokes — the kind that make everyone in the theatre laugh.
You don’t need to “get” the joke — you just feel it. That’s vintage Lalettan. The comedy in Thudarum feels warm, natural, and effortlessly relatable.
Simplicity is the Strength
In an era where over-the-top action and complicated plots are common, Thudarum stands out with its simplicity. It doesn’t try too hard. It flows with emotion, humour, and grace. And that’s exactly why it connects so well.
There’s something beautiful about a movie that doesn’t need high drama to make you feel — Thudarum achieves that effortlessly.
A Film for the Fans
If you’ve been waiting to see the real Mohanlal on screen again — not the experimental, not the exaggerated, but the natural actor — Thudarum is your moment. This one is a gift to the fans, and I hope we get more movies in this tone.
Final Verdict
Thudarum is more than a movie — it’s a reminder of the kind of storytelling and acting that made Mohanlal a legend in the first place. It’s warm, funny, emotional, and oh-so-satisfying.
If you love films that make you smile without trying too hard, go watch Thudarum. It’s Mohanlal the way we all want to see him — genuinely funny and naturally brilliant.
