Thudarum (2025): When a Man’s Heart Beats Inside an Old Ambassador
Some movies entertain you. Thudarum touches your soul.
Set against the misty backdrop of Ranni, Thudarum tells the deeply moving story of Shanmughan (Mohanlal), a humble taxi driver whose whole world revolves around one thing: an old, worn-out Ambassador car. But this isn’t just any car — it’s the last living memory of someone he lost. Every dent has a story. Every drive is a ritual.
When people around him suggest it's time to move on, to sell the car, to “let go,” Shanmughan refuses. And that’s where the real story begins. What starts as a quiet drama slowly unfolds into an emotional storm — revealing grief, love, and the weight of memories we carry without even realizing.
Shobana returns in full grace as Lalitha, bringing emotional depth and calm strength, while Farhaan Faasil and Aarsha Chandini Baiju breathe life into the supporting cast. Every performance hits home.
Thudarum is not about flashy twists or high-octane drama — it’s about the quiet heartbreaks that shape us. The kind of story that wraps around your chest and doesn’t let go. If you’ve ever held on to something just because it reminded you of someone you loved… this film will hit you hard.
Mohanlal’s Thudarum Will Wreck You — In the Best Possible Way
Let’s get one thing straight: Thudarum isn’t just a movie. It’s an emotional gut-punch wrapped in nostalgia, grief, and one unforgettable performance by Mohanlal.
In a world chasing fast thrills, Thudarum slows down — and that’s exactly why it hits harder. Mohanlal plays Shanmughan, a taxi driver in the peaceful hills of Ranni, who’s deeply attached to his old Ambassador car. But this isn’t about a man and his car. This is about memories. Loss. Holding on when the world tells you to let go.
Every scene is soaked in feeling — not melodrama, but the kind of quiet pain that creeps up and suddenly overwhelms you. When Shobana appears on screen as Lalitha, it feels like magic. The chemistry, the silence between lines, the unspoken grief — it’s storytelling at its finest.
Director Tharun Moorthy doesn’t just tell a story. He feels it. And so do we. From Farhaan Faasil’s subtle intensity to Jakes Bejoy’s haunting score, every frame is crafted to make your heart ache in the best way.
People came in expecting a Mohanlal thriller. They walked out having cried for a stranger’s memories.
Thudarum is personal. Poetic. And powerful.
Don’t just watch it. Feel it.
