If there’s one thing easier than reviewing a movie like Thithikkum Ilamai, it is knowing the movie by the sight of it – given away by the title here. With a sure shot title that would ward off a decent audience, the director seems to have pinned his hopes on whoever is willing to witness some skin show camouflaged in the name of item numbers.
A bunch of waywardly college going kids indulge in stealing mobile phones, especially from pretty girls, morph the images of those girls found in the phones and circulate them. All hell breaks loose when one of the victims commits suicide after her sleazily morphed images were exposed this way. The enraged girl’s brother sets out on a revenge trip to nab culprits and assassinate them – rather than bringing them to justice.

Brittle storyline, insipid performances, and women in barely-there obnoxious outfits gyrating viciously in the name of item numbers drive the viewers up the wall, if not evoke a sense of queasiness. Performances of a few recognizable actors namely Thalaivasal Vijay, Nizhalgal Ravi, Sandana Bharathi, Sabitha Anand, and Mansoor Ali Khan are squandered leaving them little scope to get things right.

Debutant director Chandramohan could have had a workshop for the debutants before embarking on the movie. At least, to instill an idea that the actors are supposed to act in the movie, if not to

teach them nuances of acting. Not that it would have helped the movie fare any better, given the plot and the intention, but it would definitely have made them acquire a second chance. For who would want to sign them now after having established that they cannot emote any better than a wooden door.
