After the blockbuster action comedy movie Aadu 2, Jayasurya and Vijay Babu have united for Thrissur Pooram which is a mass action thriller.
Action and dialogue
Thrissur Pooram has ample doses of thrilling action sequences and punch dialogues that would keep the audience on the edges of their seats. The brilliant background score adds intensity and tension to the action scenes. RD Rajasekhar, noted cinematographer from the Tamil industry, has done a fabulous job by capturing the beauty of Thrissur and the gravity of the scenes in the most amazing way.
The film traces the transition of young Giri, who lands behind the bars due to some reasons at childhood itself, into a fierce goon called Pullu Giri. It is when he leads a peaceful life that circumstances take him into undesired territories.
The movie beautifully captures the unexpected romance that happens in Giri’s life and how it changes him. Though he tries to stay away from his old life, he is drawn back into it when his friends land in trouble. Giri’s determination to protect his friends is what makes this movie a complete action entertainer.
Characters
Lucifer fame Murugan, Manikuttan and Binoy Nambola shine as Giri’s friends. Mallika Sukumaran who played the role of a lawyer was incredibly impressive. Swathi Reddy and Gayathri Arun essay the female leads. Sabumon Abdusamad and Sudev who played the antagonists did amazing jobs, especially in the action sequences. It is right to say that Sabumon’s excellent performance is the highlight of many scenes. Vijay Babu appears as the police commissioner and actor Sreejith Ravi impresses as a policeman.
