In a world ruled by crime and betrayal, mafia kingpin Sakthivel and his brother Manikkam rescue a young boy, Amaran, during a violent police shootout and raise him as their own. Years later, when an assassination attempt shakes Sakthivel's empire, suspicion turns inward. Consumed by vengeance, Sakthivel sets out to destroy the very family he once built.

"Kamal Haasan's swag and vivacity are still top-notch at the age of 70 in the film. However, we expected a more refined execution with a superior combo like Haasan and Mani Ratnam. Despite an honest attempt, this one falls flat."

"When Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam announced that they would be working together after 37 years, it was natural that expectations sky-rocketed. Using a script called Amar Hai by Kamal Haasan as the base, the two movie legends brought the audience Thug Life which features a large ensemble cast."

"The Mani Ratnam directorial is plagued by extremely subpar writing that not only fails to make the most of its premise but also falls short in delivering an engaging experience. Filled with uninspired and undercooked moments that lead nowhere, Thug Life ends up as a cinematic endurance test."
