Theri - Poor Screenplay, Mediocre Direction, run-of-the-mill Music - A Waste Attempt.

Watched Theri. Prior to the release, there had been a buzz in the social media that Theri is a new version of Chatriyan. But to my surprise, Theri takes ideas from Kaakha Kaakha, Vettaiyadu Vilayadu, Baadsha too. Unfortunately, nothing spells interesting on the screen.

Atlee said that the project was confirmed 2 years before and he had had enough time for writing. But audience couldn't find a bit of sensible writing in the screenplay. The entire movie is so predictable even to a high-school student and there's nothing interesting in the 2+ hours movie.

So what is Theri ? It's a crime drama or a revenge drama ? Hope at least Atlee knows.

In one crucial moment, Vijay tries to find a man who is alleged to have abducted a working girl. The scenes which follows the investigation are so dull without a bit of suspense or riveting moment. You could find a similar scenario in Vettaiyadu Vilayadu but done with intelligent writing that keeps you glued to the screen.

Almost 90% of Tamil Movies have poor writing, the main reason, we don't rely on good screen writers. Instead, director himself does the writing part which becomes shoddy.

Until we hire good screen writers like Hindi Cinema(Jaideep Sahni) or Malayalam Cinema, we would remain as today forever.
