Thudarum Twitter review: First half lauded, second half divides viewers; fans say Mohanlal is back

Thudarum Twitter review

Today, April 25, 2025, fans and moviegoers eagerly awaited the release of Thudarum, a gripping Malayalam crime drama. The film, which stars the renowned Mohanlal and the always shameful Shobana, is directed by Tharun Moorthy, whose earlier works have been praised for their nuanced narratives. Working with renowned author K. R. Sunil on the screenplay, Moorthy creates a story that explores resiliency, personal loss, and the silent struggles of daily life.

Let's have a look what the Internet is saying about the film:

Thudarum, which was produced by M. Renjith and supported by Rejaputhra Visual Media, was shot extensively over 99 days, from April to November 2024. Jakes Bejoy's moving original score enhances the film's musical landscape by delicately highlighting the plot's emotional depth without overpowering it.

The story, which is set in the picturesque and foggy hill town of Ranni in Pathanamthitta, revolves around Shanmughan, who is poignantly and deeply portrayed by Mohanlal. Shanmughan is a modest taxi driver who values his vintage Ambassador car above all else. For Shanmughan, it symbolises home, memories, and family—everything he values—while to the outside world it might seem like little more than a relic from a bygone era.

Another user took to X and wrote, "#ThudarumMovie First Half = Mohanlal #Thudaram #Mohanlal We all waited for Lalettan like this, and finally, the day has arrived"

Whether you are a fan of Mohanlal’s intensely human portrayals, Shobana’s elegant screen presence, or simply looking for a thought-provoking Malayalam film that lingers long after the credits roll, Thudarum may well be this season’s unmissable offering.
