First half is entertaining with comedy and romance. Thambi Ramaiyah and Karunakaran comedy performance was entertaining enough to make the audience laugh. Romance portions was decent but reminded many old movies especially romance background music. Dhanush's performance was good as usual as a pantry boy with natural face expressions and dialogues. Keerthi Suresh's performance was good enough but felt over acting is some portions of movie. Songs were good but two songs' placement was quite awkward. Stunt could have been better and CGI is decent but can be better too. Movie's editing is nice. Those cuts are pretty impressive. Second half of the movie is much more thrilling and pulse raising. Happy ending of the movie is one of the biggest plus points of the movie. In overall Thodari is a neat entertainer in a fast moving train (quite different from others). The movie is much more better than the hopeless promotions and trailer.
