Analysis

Thankamani is a powerful movie. It's not a profound movie that delivers a strong message, nor is it an overly thought out and intelligent film, but it handles a true-to-life recreation of actual events. The movie thoughtfully handles this sensitive issue as creatively and realistically as possible.. It is intended as a cautionary tale against the evils of society and provides a sad insight into how the inhuman behaviour adopted by individuals can turn out to be, not as mere entertainment.  The cast performances are decent, with Dileep playing the role of Abel Joshua Matthew, a socially just individual, favorably. It's the kind of movie that performs more like a documentary than commercial entertainment, but in a good way.

What’s There?

  • The movie features true-to-life recreation of actual events that take place.
  • A unique, severe and profound storyline that makes you think.

What's Not There?

  • Poorly developed, one-dimensional characters fail to make the movie remarkable.
  • A subpar musical score which does not do justice to  the screenplay and direction

Verdict

Thankamani is the kind of film that one watches to get a realistic insight into fundamental issues prevalent in society. It performs more like a documentary than an entertainment film, but it’s important to note that it has a strong message, is not fictional, and leaves us with a lot to think about.
