Thunivu MOVIE DETAIL

Thunivu: A Bank Heist with Mixed Critical Reception Ajith Kumar's Thunivu, a Tamil-language action thriller directed by H Vinoth, hit theatres on January 11, 2023, as a Pongal release. Produced by Boney Kapoor under Bayview Projects LLP and Zee Studios, the film follows Ajith Kumar's character, Dark Devil, and his team as they orchestrate a daring bank heist. Their objective: to recover funds allegedly embezzled from ordinary citizens by a corporate entity. Initially announced in February 2022 under the working title AK61, reflecting Ajith Kumar's 61st leading role, the film's official title was revealed in September of the same year. Principal photography spanned several locations, including Hyderabad, Chennai and Thailand, concluding in late November 2022. The technical crew comprised Ghibran (music), Nirav Shah and Vijay Velukutty (cinematography). The supporting cast features Manju Warrier, Samuthirakani, John Kokken, Ajay and Veera. Thunivu received a mixed response from critics upon its release. The film’s plot, centered on a high-stakes heist with a social justice undercurrent, generated considerable pre-release buzz, but the critical reception suggests a divergence between audience expectations and final product.
