Cast and Critical Reception
The film features Vismaya Mohanlal as Meenu, with Aashish Antony portraying the antagonist, described as a “psychotic rapist and killer.” Sai Kumar plays Meenu’s differently-abled father. Our exclusive review noted, “Jude Anthany Joseph is a good filmmaker; he has proven that many times already. But in some places, the fanboy paying homage to a legacy reared its head, particularly with the symbolic handing over of a scroll. It was avoidable. Meenu’s martial arts teacher could still have been Mohanlal, but toning it down a little would have made the moment far more effective.”
The steady box office figures and consistent audience turnout, particularly in key regions and during evening and night shows, indicate a strong and sustained interest in ‘Thudakkam’. As it approaches the Rs 30 crore mark worldwide, the film continues to solidify its position as a notable release in the Malayalam cinema landscape.
