The Story in Brief
Thudakkam has opened in theatres with Vismaya Mohanlal making her acting debut, while Mohanlal appears in a special role. Director Jude Anthany Joseph said he had repeatedly asked Mohanlal’s wife, Suchitra Mohanlal, to join the cast, but she declined at the last minute. He said Mohanlal had agreed to the idea of making the film a family affair. Antony Perumbavoor and his son Ashish Joe Antony are also part of the cast.
Early online audience reactions have praised Vismaya’s performance and dubbing, Ashish Joe Antony’s screen presence, Jude’s direction and Jakes Bejoy’s music. Viewers also approved of the writing and interval block. These are initial reactions, and the film’s box-office performance is yet to emerge.
The Indian Opinion
The family connection is drawing attention, but that should not become a substitute for judging the film. Claims that Vismaya has already proved herself, or that early social-media praise guarantees a hit, are premature. The available reactions are from initial viewers, not a full audience measure. A fairer assessment will come from sustained reviews, attendance after the opening period and the film’s eventual box-office numbers.
