Director tamil brings us to a police recruitment school (PRS) that appears to be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a harsh and brutal nature. Madhesh Manickam, the cinematographer, mutes all the brilliant colours and creates earthy pictures that capture the sweltering heat. However, new recruits like Arivazhaagan nicknamed Arivu (Vikram) would soon discover that their superiors are even more merciless than the countryside. Inspector muthu Paandi (Madhusudhaan Rao) and his lackey Eshwaraamurthi (Lal) rule the place, torturing recruits in the name of parade practice. When Arivu interrogates them, they transform into cold-blooded monsters who would stop at nothing to derail his ambition of donning khahki.
Taanaakkaran succeeds mostly due to its one-of-a-kind location - a PRS - and the believable manner in which it is presented. For the recruits, it's a horrible place where making a request or asking a question might get you slapped. It's also a survival test. There are a few middle-aged men among the recruits whose induction was delayed owing to political and legal concerns, and they are required to be in peak physical condition and as agile as young guys at least two decades younger. When given the option of fleeing, some of these guys prefer to stay because they believe a government position will provide them with a better future. While these characters appear to be melodramatic, their feelings are genuine.
However, the film's flaw is that it is melodramatic from start to finish. tamil relies heavily on reaction shots and reiterations of the senior cops' brutality. The director's main purpose is to shock the audience, so the material quickly comes to resemble torture porn. We'll never know why Eshwaramurthi became the way he did. Is he someone who has been changed by the system, or someone who has discovered that the system is the ideal outlet for his aggressive tendencies? We'll never know. We also get a needless romantic track featuring Eswari (Anjali Nair), a female cop who develops feelings for Arivu and begins openly wooing him.
Overall, Given what was revealed in the trailer, the film is quite underwhelming. The training's emotions and roughness weren't as powerful as they had hoped. The film's climax was unexpected, and I like it because it didn't take cinematic liberties.
