Cast: Nithiin, Varsha Bollamma, Sapthami Gowda, Laya
Director: Venu Sriram
Producer: Dil Raju
Music: Ajaneesh Loknath
Release Date: July 4, 2025
The Story:
A factory blast in Vizag triggers a legal war. While corrupt forces try to suppress the truth, honest officer Jhansi (Laya) stands her ground. But things take a deadly turn during a pilgrimage to Ambaragodugu. Enter Jai (Nithiin), a mysterious archer who saves her family. But who is he, and what secrets connect him to Jhansi and the case?
What Works:
-
Varsha Bollamma shines with a balanced mix of emotion and action.
-
Laya, as the upright officer, is composed and dignified.
-
Some early action sequences and Swasika’s brief role add small sparks.
What Doesn’t:
-
The plot feels stale, offering little that’s new or engaging.
-
Nithiin’s archer persona is underdeveloped and lacks punch.
-
Supporting characters like Azarwal and Ratna are flat and forgettable.
-
The second half is slow, repetitive, and emotionally hollow.
-
Music and visuals are functional but forgettable.
Verdict:
Thammudu starts with promise but loses steam quickly. Despite sincere performances from Varsha and Laya, the weak script and sluggish pacing make it a dull affair. A forgettable outing for Nithiin and Dil Raju. Better options await this weekend.
