Thadam is one of those movies that you're not very inclined to watch in the cinema because it didn't get a lot of press or publicity and there aren't any big crowd-pulling names in the main cast. But I was pleasantly surprised at how neat the film is and how it really is worth the watch ... if you can see past the above-mentioned factors. I'd give it a 9/10 for plot, writing, performance and storyline. The fact that the film was inspired by true events makes it all the more exciting.
