Thug Life Review

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel gave Mani Ratnam directorial movie ‘Thug Life’ two-star rating and called the Gangster Film ‘A HUGE LET DOWN.’

In a post on X, he stated, The movie starts off with a bit of promise and some interesting moments, but it quickly loses steam and becomes dull. The first half is just about watchable because of the setup and a few engaging scenes. But after that, it completely falls apart…..The only good things here are a few moments in the first half, the high-quality production, and the beautiful visuals."

He suggested that the Kollywood movie will perform well “its main market - Tamil Nadu” but “will be a Disaster in Hindi.”
