Thudakkam struggles to rise beyond being a PSA for women to take up martial arts to defend themselves. The film hardly takes the subplots seriously and fails to provide depth. Go to Full Review

On the whole, Thudakkam is an engaging watch because Jude Anthany Joseph knows how to package a film with tension, emotion and action to keep the audience invested in it. Go to Full Review

Vismaya's biggest strength is that she feels real. She plays an ordinary young woman without trying to manufacture heroism, making her easy to like. Go to Full Review

Thudakkam certainly has something to say. It's just unfortunate that between the endless cigarettes, melodrama, and uneven performances, its voice gets lost. Go to Full Review

This might feel like precious little after what feels like a long wait, but it deceives you to think you’ve watched a fun film. Go to Full Review

Thudakkam gives Vismaya Mohanlal a physically demanding debut where her fighting skills land the punches, even if her acting doesn't. Go to Full Review

arvind S @Arvind100 Aug 11, 2026 Vismaya Mohanlal aces the action sequences, though the same cannot be said about her non-combat ones. But I feel her acting prowess will just get better with experience. The other debutant - Aasish Joe Antony (2nd movie if you consider the cameo in Empuraan) makes for a very diabolical villain with just two lines of dialogue. Sai Kumar, Ramesh Kottayam, Manoj K Jayan make up the remainder of the cast with Mohanlal in a cameo (of sorts). Thudakkam is a movie of two halves. The procedural style in the first was gripping with the second half being action-heavy. Predictability plays spoilsport in the 2nd half. But the brutal action block at the end is a treat to watch. Thudakkam could have been better if it had not adopted the age old story of 'protecting your loved ones from an outsider'. For me, the highlight of the movie was K.S Chitra's beautiful, soul stirring song - 'Thaliromale'. Beautifully sung, moved me to tears. See more Rajeev K @AreKayDee Aug 10, 2026 It's a good movie. The story is clichéd but fairly paced. It could have been a really good coming of age / finding oneself movie. But Mr Mohanlal's cameo was just cringe. It just took out the seriousness of what was a decent narrative. Vismaya's fight scenes have been well choreographed. And the actor who played the villain was good too. See more Read all reviews
