‘Grave themes are portrayed
in the most intellectual and unsurpassed way which could almost tear heart of
the viewers ‘ this was the expectations from Mysskins prior films but ‘’Mugamoodi’’
failed to do righteousness to his fanatics. The movie starts off well with
thriller background music, dark and low angle shots which impose assumption to
the crowd about the grave subject from Mysskin for which they crave sitting in
edge of the seat. But the interest in the film survived only till the audience
ordered for popcorn.
Jeeva continues his ability
in choosing his movies with prominent roles. Anand (Jeeva) aka Bruce lee who is
a kung fu proficient trained by his master Chandru, whom he respects utmost by
offending people messing up with him. The movie starts with burglars using high
technologies for their missions by killing people for wealth. Gaurav (Naaser)
is appointed by Tamil Nadu police to unravel this mysterious gang. In-between (Anand)
lee falls in love with Gaurav’s daughter who is found to be girl with dynamic
attitude. ‘Bar anthem’ song rejoices party crowd which was seemed to be
appealing.
‘Super hero ‘outfit was
chosen by the protagonist just to attract his love interest in different way
but circumstances made him to be a real super hero ‘Mugamoodi’ with art of kung
fu. The burglars who also wore mask are trained in martial arts by Angusamy (Narain).
The scene when Anand (lee) establish his skill and passion for kung fu in a
fish market boosted the expectations of the second half. Narain train burglars
in the name of dragon kung fu school who even go to an extent of killing people
to loot their wealth but the emotional quotient was totally missing in that
particular plot.
The love sequence between Anand
(lee) and Shakthi (Pooja hedge) was more dramatic. Gaurav (Nasser) who is
appointed to investigate these murders is unproductive and his character was
totally wasted. Jeeva (anand) has given his best which was evident on screen
with his professional martial art skills .Transition from a kung fu trained guy
to ‘Mugamoodi ‘was portrayed well. Cinematographer Sathya done a flawless job
and screenplay was in typical Mysskin style which was the only thing to be
noted worthy. Director could have taken efforts to make second half more
interesting and fast which would have given a very positive verdict. Overall
the much expected ‘Mugamoodi’ fall short to impress people as expected.
Verdict: worth watching once.
