Thalakonam () is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language romantic action drama film directed by K. Padmaraj and starring Jithesh and Riya Nakshatra with Kota Srinivasa Rao, Firose Khan, and C. M. Bala in supporting roles.
Chikki Mukki (2013)-fame Jithesh plays one of the lead roles. The film was shot for around 45 days in the Talakona (called Thalakonam in Tamil) forest with the cast and crew staying in a guest house. Monkeys had disrupted the film shoot while the crew was on a lunch break and whenever snakes were present at the shooting spot, it had to be abandoned.
The music was composed by the duo Subash and Jawahar.
The film was scheduled to release in 2012, but was delayed to 26 September 2014 alongside Jeeva and Madras.
Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote, "Thalakonam is a debutant makerâÂÂs work gone awry". A critic from Dinamalar called the film fully crooked. A critic from iFlicks wrote, "Though the storyline is good, director K. Padmaraj has spoiled it with too many twists and turns".
