Thadaiyara Thaakka (transl. Breaking all Barriers) is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Magizh Thirumeni and produced under Feather Touch Entertainment. It stars Arun Vijay, Mamta Mohandas and Rakul Preet Singh (In her Tamil debut).[2] The title is derived from a devotional song titled Kanda Shasti Kavasam.[3]
Thadaiyara Thaakka was released theatrically on 1 June 2012 to critical acclaim from critics, but underperformed at the box office, which Thirumeni attributed to the low-key promotions and publicity.[4] The film slowly gained praise from viewers after the end of its theatrical run.[5] During an interview for Yennai Arindhaal, Arun Vijay would go on to call it as the best film in his career.[6]

The chaste Tamil title Thadayara Thaakka taken from the famous Kanda Sashti Kavacham appears to give the necessary spunk and fizz to this action-centric film which has combined suspense elements in an interesting way.

Thadaiyara Thaakka's release wasn't known to many. Low key promotions and publicity may be the reasons. But as time went by, people started talking about the film. This was a truly unforgettable experience for me.
