Thodraa Movie Review

A social message combined with a very weak and hanging in the air script and a very meh performance by all the actors is sadly what ‘Thodraa’ is made up of. Prithvi Rajan (as Sankar) and Veena (as Divya) are the lead actors in ‘Thodraa’.

The film takes up the social cause of honour killing. Sankar and Divya study in the same college and keep bumping into each other all the time and sooner or later fall in love with each other. While Divya comes from a very rich and affluent political family; Sankar happens to be a simpleton who is from a poor family. The story of how and more importantly why they fall in love is just not understandable!

As it had to happen, Divya’s family comes to know about the love between her and Sankar and strongly oppose it. The next step as we can all guess is that Divya is forcibly engaged off to another guy and a marriage date is also fixed. Meanwhile Divya’s brother decides to find Sankar and kill him so that there is no problem at Divya’s wedding. He beats up Sankar and Sankar promises to see never see Divya again. This is really strange because right in the next scene you see him meeting Divya and making plans to run away and live a happy life ahead!

They manage to run away and get married only to be caught and separated by Divya’s brother. Now Sankar and his friends manage to get help from a guy to bring Divya back to Sankar. They take this matter to the court and Divya and Sankar are legally pronounced husband and wife much to the agony of her brother.

Now the question is if the guy who brought them together a nice man or does he have any ulterior motives? Do Divya’s family accept her and Sankar into their family or do they want to take revenge on the young couple for shaming the family?

The music is by RN Uthamaraj & is just not impressive and seems forced into the movie. The humour factor is completely messed up in the movie. ‘Thodraa’ is directed by Madhuraj under the JS Aboorva Productions banner. Prithvi Rajan is a talented actor, but he needs to get a lot better with the scripts he picks!
