Our Review of Madurai 16
Madurai 16 is a political thriller about a group of friends taking revenge against power and money oppression in Madurai, with corruption and intense action. Jerome Vijay makes a strong debut, and the plot feels relatable, but the screenplay is rushed with preachy dialogues. It’s short and okay for a quick watch, but nothing too deep.
What Worked
- Relatable plot of fighting power abuse hits home in today’s world with its raw energy.
- Jerome Vijay’s debut lead fresh face bringing intensity to the thriller elements.
- Short runtime and Madurai backdrop keeps it grounded and fast paced from the promo.
What Didn’t Work
- Low key pre release hype trailer dropped but not much social buzz yet.
- Unknown director John Thomas hope the execution matches the ambitious theme.
- Modest budget might show in action scenes relying on script to carry it.
