Theeran-Adhigaaram Ondru has the distinction of juxtaposing a mythical masala film hero in a realistic setting. The action sequence is also example of that unique combination. The scene has paid attention to procedural detail, but has also acheived a kind of mainstream film heroism. The bus sequence is one of the rare sequences where even a minor side character recieves as much attention as the hero gets, and reaffirms the fact that nabbing a criminal cannot happen through singular showmanship.
