James Vasanthan praises 'Thug Life' despite criticism; calls Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's film a masterpiece, fans get shocked

The highly spoken about movie 'Thug Life,' directed by Mani Ratnam, released on June 5. The film starring Kamal Haasan, Simbu, Trisha, Abhirami, Ashok Selvan, Nasser, Joju George, and many others, failed to perform well at the box office. Many fans cited the confusing script as the reason for the film's moderate response. In this case, music composer James Vasanthan shared an honest review and appreciation on social media after watching the film.In the post, James Vasanthan said, “I saw Thug Life last night. I was blown away. Good film. A masterpiece film. But I don't understand why some people gave it such bad reviews. It had all the right elements for an underworld gangster film in the right proportions. If it had been an English film starring Hollywood stars, we would have appreciated it. The film has a deep story, a warm screenplay, stunning visuals, excellent cinematography, international standard background music, compelling performances, excellent sound mix, and excellent editing. Not a single scene was boring!."Furthermore, on thinking about the ending of the story, he said, “What if Simbu’s character didn’t die, but Kamal’s character did? What if both of them died? What if Nassar’s character was at the end? There could have been many such differences. But that doesn't diminish the quality of the film. We would have left with a sense of belonging, that's all," said James Vasantha to share his view on 'Thug Life.'James Vasanthan rocks, fans in shockJames Vasanthan has firmly stated that the film is worth watching and enjoying for those who have not seen it, and that they should not be affected by the political-artistic criticisms being made on social media. His post, which stated, “Maniratnam, Kamal Haasan, A.R. Rahman, and Ravi K. Chandran are God’s gifts to Indian cinema,” is currently attracting the attention of many and has created a new mindset among fans. But fans get shocked over his message.
