Thuppakki (2012)
Thuppakki is streaming in the UAE on Sun Nxt.
The verdict
Thuppakki holds up as a perfectly decent Tamil film, if not a remarkable one. It holds a 7.3/10 on TMDB from 125 ratings, well above the typical run of new releases. At 170 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In the UAE you can stream it on Sun Nxt.
Should you spend 2h 50m on it?
2h 50m of Tamil action with thriller threaded through. At this length it's the whole evening's plan, not something to slot in after dinner.
- Why
- 7.3/10 from 125 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you want something you can finish before a reasonable bedtime
- Best for
- A night with nothing after it
Story
Captain Jagadish, an intelligence officer in the Indian Army, returns to Mumbai for a vacation but soon finds himself in a deadly mission. After witnessing a bus bombing, he uncovers a network of sleeper cells planning multiple attacks across the city. With no official backing, he embarks on a personal mission with his trusted comrades to eliminate the mastermind, ensuring the sleeper cells remain leaderless and trapped in silence, waiting for orders that will never come. Ready to sacrifice his own life, he sets out on his final mission—but does he succeed, and at what cost?
