Reviews:
Here is the viewers' response to the Tamil flick:
Sidhu posted: #Theri: The main issue here is that you're always ahead of the proceedings, right from frame 1. Age-old predictable revenge-masala mix.
#Theri: George C Williams is the actual hero of the film, bringing us bright visuals all the way. Nainika's dialogues - another highlight!
#Theri: Tolerable. Atlee's story is old as the hills, but his new-gen presentation saves the day. Enjoyable first half, middling second.
#Theri Interval: Jolly good fun. Nicely packaged crowd pleaser with terrific action and tardy emotions. Nainika - wonderful find!
Ajay tweeted: Will watch #Theri again today to see if my opinions change. But, I expected a lot, lot more from Atlee. It was 'okay' at best, nothing more.
#Theri - 2.75/5. An encouraging first half which collapses to a predictable and dull ending. Huge potential, but output is only average.
I reviewed it from my POV as a critic. But I did speak to several families who enjoyed it. We'll have to see if reviews affect £.
Will watch #Theri again today to see if my opinions change. But, I expected a lot, lot more from Atlee. It was 'okay' at best, nothing more.

#Theri - @actorvijay had an excellent chemistry with both @Samanthaprabhu2 and Nanika. nanika did a great job in his debut movie.
#Theri - though film is predictable in some portion not even 1 min u wil feel bored. That's biggest plus. editing and cinematography big +ve
#Theri- @gvprakash did an excellent job. esp in action blocks, his bgm is simply Therrri. @Atlee_dir is very intelligent in using all songs
#Theri -mahendran sir did a very subtle villan role. it looks positive in some scenes and lags punch in some scenes..
#Theri -As a whole it is a cmplete commercial entertainer.after puli, vj is back with a bang.It will be a pleasant movie for family audience
#Theri - Def Not like kathi or thupakki as it is nt hvng strong story,it will be in the league of Pokkiri .Pucca commercial entertainer
Amla D'souza tweeted: Story takes center stage.. Focuses on child Labour #Theri
Thaimai song now.. Nice picturisation #Theri
4th song is chellakutttii.. Lip kiss with Samantha.... glamorous song #Theri
Interval block ends with conversation between mahendran & Vijay. Vengeance. Mahendran son is the one who Raped that girl.. #Theri
#Theri - Skip it. Not the same atlee who directed raja rani. Forget thuppakki. - 2/5
Chathriyan remake scene now.. Villain mahendran asks what will you do Vijay now?.. #Theri
Samantha asks Vijay to be a good father & Not good police.. .. Honest Raj + baasha scene mix.. #Theri
JimpaMUFC posted: Just finished watching #YennaiArindhaal part 2..oops sorry #Theri. Too sentiment and less action..doubt it'll satisfy even VJ fans.
#Theri - transformation scene of Joseph Kuruvilla is Rotfl worthy. Predictable story and too long first half.
#Theri - A star is born. That is Baby Nainika. Another plus is dialogue. These two the only plus point sadly.
Major con of #Theri is Samantha's voice. Some scenes resembling Raja Rani. Atlee could've avoided that.Murders of baddies reminds of Anniyan
Verdict of #Theri - one time watchable for fans. Forget it if you're a neutral! #Theri, very sorry.
