Thudakkam Review: Vismaya Mohanlal's Debut Showcases Martial Arts in Revenge Thriller
Thudakkam marks the acting debut of Vismaya Mohanlal, daughter of actor Mohanlal, featuring her martial arts skills in a revenge thriller directed by Jude Anthany Joseph. The film follows Meenu, whose peaceful life is disrupted by a violent antagonist, leading to a tense investigation. Critics note the film serves as a launch vehicle for Vismaya, with a screenplay that is engaging but occasionally clichéd. The first half is praised for its grounded tone, while the second half emphasizes action and star appeal.
