Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moonramaandu
Movie :Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moonramaandu
Director :Thirumurugan
Music :Vidyasagar
Cast :Bharath, Poorna, Ponvannan, Vadivel
Watching soap specialist Thirumurugan's latest Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moonramaandu (Muniyandi, Third Year Zoology), is as tiresome and irritating as watching mega serials continuously for two and-a-half hours!
Thirumurugan leaves you exasperated as the story is another episode of his last film (serial?) Emttan Mahan "all about father son relationship". The story is set in a semi rural college campus where there is a caste war going on, ignited by two local goons cum politicians.
Muniyandi (Bharath) is a jolly good fellow studying for third year Zoology, and is mad about Madumita (Poorna), studying in the same college and daughter of the local chief and caste leader Ramaiah, who prefers his caste men like Muni's father Muthumani (Ponvannan) to run the college canteen. In the college union election, the opposing caste led by Sivasamy causes havoc and college is closed indefinitely.
Meanwhile Madhumita's marriage is arranged by her father and for some strange reasons she tells Muniyandi, that he is only a "friend" and she was never in love with him! The hot blooded Muni slaps her with his slippers and sets her father's coconut grove on fire.
A caste war erupts, dark secrets of Ramaiah tumble out, lovers are separated, hero knows the bitter truth that his brother was murdered by the villain, all hell breaks loose.
It is a hoary movie plot. Writer, director Thirumurugan completely skewers the brain with his lack of knowledge in commercial film making. Lacking a coherent screenplay, he goes all over, and the film has a dumb climax.
Taste this- the hero and his father has survived the "Aruvaal" brigade of the main villain, the heroines dad who is killed by his own henchman. The hero's father suddenly says'- "Let us go and get Madhu (heroine)..", for that happy ending!
You end up feeling sorry for actors like Bharath and Ponvannan, both fine actors far superior to the film they are doing. Poorna does her role well, but should be careful not to imitate Asin if she has to create her own constituency. Vadivel as a witch doctor with bells attached to his hair and saffron clothing does the buffoonery effectively.
Two of the songs picturisation are cut and paste job. The hero introduction scene and song is a heavily inspired by Madhavan's Run introductory song, and the hero-heroine song in a Zoology lab is a straight lift from the Malayalam film Classmates. Vidyasagar's music is a letdown.
By the time the film has strayed into its last scene, you are past caring as it drives you mad. Let us hope Thirumurugan would go back to the small screen, and save us from such embarrassingly bad movies!
Verdict: Avoidable
