The movie revolves around Saravanan (Karthi) and Jyothika (Parvathi), siblings in Thambi. The brother goes missing in childhood. He grows up to become a criminal and the drama that unfolds when he meets his family members decades later forms the crux of the story.

Thambi is releasing a week after Jeethu Joseph's Hindi movie The Body, which has Emraan Hashmi, Rishi Kapoor and Vedhika, hit the screens. Known for thrillers, the fans are now looking forward to see a highly-entertaining entertainer packed with lots of emotions.

Whereas Karthi is returning after delivering a hit in the form of Kaithi just two months ago. Will the latest film live up to the expectations? Check it out in the viewers' words below:

Ramesh Bala: #Thambi [3.5/5] :
@rdrajasekar camera work is good..
@govind_vasantha BGM is solid..
Dir #JeethuJoseph maintains the tempo all through..
Its the twists and turns that make it a winner..
And the combo of @Karthi_Offl - #Jyotika and #Sathyaraj
#Thambi [3.5/5] : An unpredictable thriller set in a family backdrop.. Twists and turns keep u engrossed..
@Karthi_Offl is fantastic.. He is the lifeline of the movie..
#Jyotika has done well..
#Sathyaraj another seasoned performance..
@Nikhilavimal1 in a pleasant role

Haricharan Pudipeddi: After the heavy-huty action thriller Kaithi, #Thambi allows
@Karthi_Offl to slip into a laid-back role and it's a delight to watch him try his hands at comedy after a while. #Jyothika is equally good in a role that portrays her in a very different light.
Thoroughly enjoyed #Thambi. A family drama with some delicious twists and a cracker of a finale. In the family set up, #JeethuJoseph has somehow mastered the art of surprising audiences and he gets it superbly right yet again. The team has a winner

Kaushik LM: #Thambi - 3.5 /5.
@Karthi_Offl's dream run will continue. After #Kaithi, this ought to be another Hit for him, in a totally different genre. He's in fine form
Welcome return to Kollywood for #JeethuJoseph after Papanasam. Some Drishyam flavour is there here too GO FOR IT
#Thambi 2nd half - Solid stuff throughout, with terrific trademark #JeethuJoseph twists and turns The thriller elements and family drama work big time.
Sureshot Hit, Safe Bet.. Family audiences will love it
#Karthi #Sathyaraj #Jyotika @Nikhilavimal1
My rating - 3.5/5
#Thambi 1st half - There's a strong Malayalam film flavour in the film obviously due to the #JeethuJoseph factor.
@Karthi_Offl is in a jolly happy space, in stark contrast to his #Kaithi zone. #Jyotika is mostly serious and stern so far.
The 2nd half has good potential. Paarpom
#Thambi 1st half: @Karthi_Offl provides max entertainment with his charismatic presence. The film moves on as a breezy family drama with an interesting interval block moment.
@Nikhilavimal1 impresses in a lively role, with a nice love song
Little Rasukutty's scenes are cute too

Sathish Kumar M: #Thambi - A Mystery Family Drama with wonderful performances from
@Karthi_Offl #Jyothika #Sathyaraj & small kid #Ashwanth
Slow paced family drama with a small twist in the interval and big twist in the climax. #Ashwanth & #sowcarjanaki scenes with
@Karthi_Offl has come out well

Rajasekar: #Thambi - Besides @Karthi_Offl, solid show by all the actors including #Sathyaraj, Jyotika, &
@Nikhilavimal1. A lot of twists and turns there in the film so avoid spoilers.
@govind_vasantha 's BGM (sounds new & refreshing ) and @rdrajasekar cinematography are big plus
#Thambi - 3.5/5, yet another quality film from @Karthi_Offl. A perfect follow-up movie for him after #Kaithi. The first half is in breezy family zone, second half in 'Drishyam' thriller mode. The tag 'A Jeethu Joseph film' has been justified
@Karthi_Offl's combination scenes with Master Ashwanth of Super Deluxe fame & Sowcar Janaki also bring in a lot of fun moments. #Thambi
#Thambi first half - An engaging family drama where
@Karthi_Offl's shines with his comic timing. A couple of twists paces up the narration. The ensemble actors including Sathyaraj and Jyotika give a wholesome family entertainer feel. Good so far
