About
A freewheeling road-thriller comedy about two petty thieves who stumble upon a massive government currency heist — then find themselves hunted by both criminals and the state. Mani Ratnam's most purely entertaining film: kinetic, funny, and dazzlingly shot across India's landscapes.
Video Essay
Why This Matters
Thiruda Thiruda is Mani Ratnam letting loose — a road movie that tears across India with infectious energy. It proved he could do pure entertainment without sacrificing visual ambition. A. R. Rahman's sophomore score was another revelation.
