And when I talk about acting I don't mean he has a huge fan following, and is a superstar (which he is) I mean he knows the nuances of how to perform, of how to emote, one can compare him to the Ranbir's, the Irfan's, the Nawaz's of the country.I am huge fan of his because film after film he never gives just an average performance, he is always on his game. But TM works mainly because of the films hero Dhanush, who without doubt is the best south Indian actor right now. TM also makes sure on sheds a tear or two. The film follows a similar path that VIP took, but the story is completely different here (an example VIP speaks of an importance of a mother, TM of a father), this film steers more towards family values, and honor, rather than talk about a jobless youth who gets motivated like the story of VIP.Of course there is love story, and comedy, but these elements just add to the entertainment of the film. So when one watches a simplistic, and realistic film that talks about the importance of a family, the importance of a father, of having a good job, of going length to keep your family protected, and to keep ones honor intact, well then a film like Thanga Magan was akin to a breeze of fresh air. You see filmmakers today waste money on shooting at foreign locations, and creating huge sets, with expensive cars, clothes etc, these films most of time are your regular weekly churned out brainless masala entertainers.

So with TM the expectations were bound to be high,but after the films trailer was released it was quite obvious that TM wasn't going to be better, but it still turned out to be a great film. Thanga Magan brings back the super hit combo of Dhanush and Velraj, who last year made the best Tamil film VIP.
