Thug Life X review: Kamal Haasan is in the limelight because of his latest release Thug Life, which hit the screens on June 5. The biggie created a fair deal of buzz ahead of its release as it marks the seasoned actor's first collaboration with Mani Ratnam after Nayagan (1987). The powerful trailer too worked in its favour. So did Thug Life live up to expectations? Here's what netizens feel about the gangster drama.
Thug Life Twitter review
Thug Life, Kamal Haasan's first film after Indian 2, is out in theatres. The gangster drama has become the talk of the town because of its stellar cast and catchy songs. Not surprisingly, several netizens took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their views about the big-ticket film.
A netizen said that Kamal Haasan and Simbu's scenes are a highlight of Thug Life. They also praised Trisha's performance in the film.
#ThugLife first ever review Blockbuster 👌👌. As usual maniratnam narration like CCV. Conversation between sim u and kamal in pre climax was nice. Trisha character is different and bold attempt.. finally thalaivan ARR bgm 🔥🔥Kollywood tweet rating- 7.5/10
However, not everyone was impressed by the film. A user said that he got a 'headache' while watching the biggie
Sorry bro. I'm also a huge fan of Maniratnam sir. I travelled 40km to watch Thug Life and I got a headache while watching the movie. This is not hatred it's a pain.
Another one said that the film 'loses momentum' after a promising start.
You walk into #ThugLife hoping for a gritty gangster drama, but leave disappointed by its slow, predictable story. Despite a promising start with Kamal Haasan and STR's solid presence, the film quickly loses momentum, ending up strictly average.
Another user criticised the film's romantic portions and added that Thug Life fails to evoke any emotions.
#ThugLifeReview (2025) : KH-Trisha love portions r Dull. STR, Abirami Neat. Songs gud. Delhi landscape visuals super. Weak Story, No emotions, No twists; Unexciting & Draggy Narratin. DISAPPOINTMENT!Cinema,Politics& Family ~ FAILED!⭐️⭐️/10 #ThugLife #ThugLifeDisaster
A netizen, however, disagreed with the negativity surrounding the film and praised its 'stunning visuals'.
#Thuglife :- Inside Report 🔥 🔥 First Half: PURE ADRENALINE! Mani Ratnam's genius kicks off with a BANG—stunning visuals, raw energy, and Kamal Haasan owning every frame like a BOSS. 🔥 The plot grips you tight, with slick action and dialogues that hit like bullets. Music?…
Thug Life, meanwhile, has taken a strong start at the box office and is likely to collect around Rs 45 crore in India on the first day.
