Oru Thavaru Seidhal Movie Review: 

"Oru Thavaru Seidhal" offers a timely exploration of the dark side of technology and its potential for deception in the digital age. Led by an aspiring filmmaker and a group of friends desperate for cash, the film follows their risky scheme sparked by a chance encounter at Chennai's Koyambedu junction. While the core concept of how easily the masses can be deceived resonates, the execution falters due to noticeable plot holes, particularly in the group's improbable acquisition of sensitive data and execution of their intricate deepfake campaign.

Despite its shortcomings, the film finds its stride in the second half by embracing a darkly comedic tone. Upasana RC shines in her portrayal of Munishwari, the tech-savvy friend whose skills both aid and jeopardize the group's plot. The moral dilemmas faced by the friends as they grapple with the consequences of their actions feel somewhat contrived, yet the absurdity of their clumsy heist provides ample laughs to offset these inconsistencies.

With seasoned performances from MS Bhaskar and a talented ensemble cast, "Oru Thavaru Seidhal" serves as a cautionary tale with a twist of dark humor. While its exploration of deepfakes and their societal impact offers food for thought, its uneven execution prevents it from reaching its full potential as a compelling thriller. Nevertheless, fans of crime-comedies with a technological edge may still find enjoyment in its blend of suspense and humor.
