‘Thundu’ movie review: Biju Menon’s drama runs out of ideas to stay engrossing
The HinduWhen a lot of things go wrong in a film, it is hard to pin it down to one or two factors. But a few things do stick out sorely, like the scene transitions in Riyas Shereef’s Thundu. Thundu is built on a very thin premise, of a policeman taking a leaf out of his son’s book and resorting to cheating in a promotion examination. ‘Thundu’ Director: Riyas Shereef Cast: Biju Menon, Shine Tom Chacko, Unnimaya Prasad, Gokulan Run-time: 126 minutes Storyline: A policeman resorts to cheating in a promotion examination, but things don’t go as planned Engaging films have been made from seemingly simple ideas, but Thundu clearly is not one of those. Character development is mostly absent, especially evident in how actors like Shine Tom Chacko and Unnimaya Prasad are reduced to doing almost the same things throughout the movie.
