Thandavam

The story goes like this. Swaminathan (Nedumudi Venu) and Kasinathan (Mohanlal) have great respect and love for each other. Swaminathan is a true Gandhian and is a farmer while Kasinathan runs an Ayurvedic resort and resides in the town. Kalimuthu Gounder is the villain in the village who hates Swaminathan, as the villagers supports him. Gounder sees Swaminathan as a potential threat to his political ambitions as he runs the administration of the village very efficiently. Like Ramar Pillai, Swaminathan discovers an herbal fuel (!!). There is a city-bred politician Sundar Das (Sai Kumar) a former minister who hates Kasinathan. So the two villains team up and steal Swaminathans 'fuel' discovery and murder him. So, braying for their blood, Kasinathan comes back to the village to take revenge. He gets the help of the local DYSP whose daughter Meenakshi (Kiran) is in love with him and emerges successfully.

Mohanlal has done a good job and so has Kiran. Radhakrishnan has come up with some melodious numbers. A perfect family entertainer sums up 'Thandavam'.
