Thakka Thakka opens with the disturbing scene of a teenage girl, Thulasi (Leema Babu), being sold into prostitution by her father. This initial depiction of the girl’s suffering forms the most compelling part of the movie. While the story arc—a woman raising her child in a brothel and sacrificing everything to protect him—isn't entirely new, the filmmaking itself is quite good, helped along by Sujith Sarang’s atmospheric cinematography. The film then jumps forward in time to show Thulasi’s son, Sathya (Vikranth), now working at a small hotel. His friend Karthi (Aravinnd) is in love with Indu (Abhinaya), who works as a medic. However, Indu's mother (Uma Padmanabhan) intends to marry her off to her brother Kumar, an associate of Paraman (Rahul Venkat), a local gangster. After discovering that Indu secretly married Karthi, Kumar kidnaps her with the intention of selling her into slavery. Simultaneously, Sathya saves a girl and ends up killing Bala (Arul Dass), the pimp who was responsible for his mother’s death. It turns out Bala is Paraman's brother, prompting Paraman to use Karthi to get to Sathya. Thakka Thakka manages to maintain some energy despite not quite succeeding as a unified whole. There are definitely memorable moments, but it doesn't have the sharp writing needed to become a truly exciting action film. The basic story is familiar territory, although director Sanjeev does add a few unexpected elements that make it somewhat engaging. What’s missing, though, is a strong central performance to draw viewers in. Vikranth gives a sincere portrayal, but he feels too subdued, making it difficult to connect with his character. Often, Karthi seems more like the main character. The film also falls into the predictable trap of having one man defeat an entire group of tough criminals. Still, the subtle romantic storylines and the director's persistent storytelling style mean that leaving the theater isn’t a particularly negative experience.
