After enjoying a sensational success with Ghilli, Vijay takes the route as a complete action hero in Thirupaachi. He is throwing punch lines, smashing the bad guys and he is an ordinary hero who turns into a superhero in this action masala. It's an ordinary action film that we have seen decades back. The same old brother-sister sentiment and the well-known superhero who fights the bad guys to bring enlightenment to society. Perarasu's Thirupaachi doesn't have anything to catch the audience's attention. It doesn't have any elements to make it a worth-action masala. He focused mainly on constructing a star-vehicle to glorify Vijay's larger-than-life star image. Due to this fact, he fails to build strong supporting characters and challenging antagonists which gives us a lack of interest. I personally loved the scene where Vijay meets Pasupathi and acts like an innocent. It's quite a proper mass scene. The writing in Thirupaachi is similar to those of vintage K.S.Ravikumar films where the hero is the one who dominates over the antagonists. Except for Vijay, Thirupaachi is not effective and not really interesting. The lack of originality hits the engagement factor really hard because the film becomes too predictable. In fact, this film can be a one-time watch only for Vijay because he is the one entertaining us throughout this action masala. Overall, Thirupaachi is a film for all the Vijay fans.
