Thank You Review

I have always believed that a good script could do wonders in director V K Prakash's hands, and a bad script could appear even worse. 'Thank You', VKP's latest film unfortunately falls into the latter category, and ends up mostly a thankless affair.
There is this sober guy (Jayasurya) who looks like he means some real bad business. He is a bomb maker, and soon has the cops led by the Commissioner (Sethu) scampering all over the city in search of his explosive creations. Pretty soon, he lands up at a TV station, where he appears live on a news program to reveal why he had decided to blow up things for a change
There are very few instances in the film that are true crowd pleasers. There are even fewer instances that would please a serious film lover on the lookout for some materials to chew on. The one feeling that encompasses anyone who watches the film, is the feeling of being taken for a ride.
This 'chalta hain' attitude permeates throughout, and the flimsy plot soon succumbs to its lack of depth. There is no flashiness however, but that isn't speaking too much, when one is talking of a film that has no twists, shocks or surprises in store.
'Thank You' has a theme that best suits a short film with a running time of less than thirty minutes. The film does not run for more than two hours as it is, but it's still incredibly long by any measure, and starts gnawing at your patience levels soon.
