Thira (2013)
Thira - a must watch film
It's 2022 and I watched a film that was released in 2013. I wondered how did I miss it, not that I am a film buff but it might have skipped my mind. During some of the recent interviews (after the success of 'Hridayam'), I heard Vineeth sharing some experiences about Thira and since I hadn't heard about it, I thought of watching it. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a wonderful film for me. It may have been inspired from someone's life/book at that time but I felt it was a no-nonsense film. Due to its storytelling, yes it was fast paced and that's how films should be made. Based on the storyline, if it's action based then the film has to be action based, if it's drama, then the film has to be made in a dramatical way similarly with love stories, comedy etc. For example, if it's a horror movies, would someone simply sit and laugh throughout the movie or get scared when it's intended to be scary.
Thira is a one of its kind of movie where a female actress, the ever beautiful Shobhana is in the lead, boldly facing challenges that life throws at her throughout the film Alongside, is a young male actor, the then debutant Dhyan, who is guided and helped by Shobhana wherein their sole purpose is to rescue the girls who are victims of human trafficking.
In the past, before the release of Thira, there were films made in Malayalam in similar lines but those films all praised and worshipped the lead actor's style and machoism. The actresses were only a mere timepass, used for asthetic purposes like singing, dancing and spread on-screen colours for the viewers.
From start to end, I was totally engrossed watching Thira, just like the waves, different angles kept coming. May be sometimes, it could be predictable but the string of the movie is not broken so as to lose interest in watching. I liked how Vineeth made a movie focussing on a woman lead, how some women in the society takes charges to protect the fabric of the society from anti-elements and if required they will go to the end of the world to get what it takes to safe guard their loved ones from the evil.
Throughout the film, both Shobhana and Dhyan played their roles beautifully, not giving a chance for error. With Shobhana guiding Dhyan to face the challenges lying ahead in rescuing his sister, symbolically it seemed that she was preparing and guiding him on-screen to do well in his film career, we can see the results now in 2022.
I have given 7 stars for the overall film and an additional star for giving an opportunity to a lady star to lead the film.
