So, we know that Suruli will see the error of his ways at some point, but it is in showing us the how that the director disappoints. Like Peter, who doesn't want immigrants taking over his country, Suruli doesn't want a 'Saettu' running a jewellery shop in 'his' land. When they are introduced, we see them killing someone, but more than the killing, they seem to be getting their pleasure in the wise-cracking, complaining about their clothes getting ruined by the blood. Karthik Subbaraj establishes the smiliarities between Peter and Suruli quite effectively.

The pop culture references, like Suruli and Vicky (Sharath Ravi), the London-based software employee, who acts as the translator between the gangsters, debating about Delhi Ganesh's character in Nayakan, the many nods to Rajinikanth and his films (a signature of this filmmaker), and the yesteryear songs, are quite amusing.

And Dhanush has a ball playing a Maari-like gangster with a devil-may-care attitude. The quirky tone makes these scenes interesting. The initial portions of Jagame Thandhiram, showing the quick-witted Suruli using his streetsmart ways to track down Sivadoss, are the filmРІР‚в„ўs most interesting bits. Even as Suruli starts making his move against Sivadoss, but starts questioning the ethics of his acts when Atlia (Aishwarya Lekshmi, trying her best in a role that offers her little scope), the Sri Lankan Tamil woman whom he has fallen for, tells him what Sivadoss actually means to the immigrant community. The xenophobic Peter, who is trying to get a controversial immigration law passed with his muscle power, decides to hire Suruli, who is always open for some quick bucks, to take on Sivadoss, whose secretive - and lucrative - operation is handled by his crew of immigrants. The film introduces us to the three main characters - Peter (James Cosmo, who manages to acquit himself better than most foreign actors in Indian films), a ruthless gangster in London Sivadoss (Joju George, a solid presence), Peter's rival and Suruli (Dhanush), a small-time gangster in Madurai. The result is as interesting as spaghetti cooked in salna! Much like its protagonist, a man from a distinct culture finding himself in a totally alien territory, Karthik Subbaraj's Jagame Thandhiram comes across as a Tarantino film that ambled into the alleys of Kodambakkam.
