"Thunivu counts on the ongoing narrative that middle-class debtors and indebted farmers are never spared by banks, while mega fraudsters are treated with kid gloves. 'Thunivu' is somewhat of a noisy film with a few superfluous and many convenient ideas. Yet, it works because of its lead man, larger-than-life action', and some plot points, a part of Pinkvilla review reads.

Thalapathy Vijay’s family entertainer Varisu and the Ajith action dramaThunivu have released today in theaters. The ardent fans of both superstars gathered outside a theatre in Chennai to celebrate the Pongal releases. They burst crackers and danced with vigour.
 

Varisu is colourful and has two solid scenes including one post-interval boardroom scene, but overall too boring, long and predictable. Rajitame is solid though in pre-climax- Pinkvilla

Actor Arjun Vijay called Ajith starrer Thunivu a treat for the audience. "Action..Screenplay..Perfomance.. Message...," he tweeted. 

Box Office tracker and Columnist Sreedhar Pillai share his opinion if the clash could have been avoided? To this, Sreedhar Pillai replies, "I personally think, if both the producers would have sat over the table or both the actors could have called each other to avoid the clash, that could have been much better for the industry. But in this case, the competition is big and the Southern stars have big egos about who is number one. Even in Bollywood, I don't see such clashes because there, distributors sit together and discuss but here, star power is overpowering stakeholders, distributors, cinema owners and so, they really don't have a say. A healthy two-week gap would have been advisable."
