🚨 THUG LIFE Interval Review:
— Raghu Rajaram (@RaghuTweetzX) June 5, 2025
A totally predictable plot and it happens exactly like what they showed in the trailer.
Kamal and Simbu have enough and more scenes to score in performance and they have done well.
Maniratnam has chosen to go with a rather flat narrative than… pic.twitter.com/a6JWFtvx66

CCV Part 2
Simple Predictable story between thugs fighting for power.Too much lag.Nothing impressive so far.
Too old story,way old screenplay.
ARR isn’t helping at all. Nothing relatable or connecting,not even intro.
2nd half.🤞#ThugLifeReview pic.twitter.com/2YFTWNp3bs

The movie focuses on gang leader Sakthivel, who adopts Amaran after saving him during a gang war. Years later, Sakhtivel becomes a target of an assassination attempt and suspects Amaran’s involvement. This incident leads to a conflict between Sakhtivel and Amaran.
Thug Life also stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Rohit Saraf, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sanya Malhotra and Baburaj.
In an interview with OTTplay, Kamal Haasan talked about his collaboration with Mani Ratnam after Nayakan. He said, “Both of us have evolved. It is not the same Mani Ratnam, nor the same Kamal Haasan who acted in that film. AR Rahman is also not the same music director who scored for Roja. If it is not like that, then it is wrong. We are proud that we have evolved over time and have not remained in the same place.”
He added, “Our motive was to make a film which will not remind you of Nayakan, and that is what we have strived for.”
The movie is also involved in a controversy after Kamal Haasan said that ‘Kannada is born out Tamil’ at an event. This led to Thug Life being banned in Karnataka.
