My Review : Mudhal Mudhal Mudhal Varai

Even before the credits appear clips of the first motion picture of the world & that of India are shown with credits of their creaters . This gives a clue about what the movie is all about --> a first time director trying to make his frist movie based on several first's that happen in his life & that of others whom he comes in contact with --> Hence the title of the movie. Actually movie has an autobiographical tinge in it which the director reveals in the end .

The first metro movie in Tamil , a genre which is as familiar to tamil audience as Pizza Hut is to Usilampatti . Question arises whether tamil audience are ready for this kind of movies & answer is a big NO(which is clearly evident in the theatre ).But that does not take away any credit from the debutant director Krishna Shesadri Komadan who must be applauded for the risk that he took in his very first movie experimenting with a new genre .

Plot : Movie peeks at a life of an aspiring movie director & his various first's like frist love , first kiss , first pregnancy , first copying in exams ....etc which forms the script of his movie that he is to direct .

Acting : one of the strength of the movie is its cast . Whether it is Sathyajit as the protogonist , Anuja iyer as his date or Charan , Kumarave as his assisstants or others , every one is aptly cast & acts very casually with no artficiality whatsoever . Also every one seem to dub in their own voice whic further enhances their performances.

Music : only one song which is a hindi erotic number which is ok . Aslam Mustafa has done a neat job in BGM .

Fowsia Fathima has captured the movie with almost 70 % of the movie as close up shots in various angles & there is feel of the movie being filmed in a handy cam (to add authenticity to the plot of herofilming his movie in a handy cam ) & visuals are mostly grainy ( done deliberatly ??)

B.Lenin has done some innovative cuttings to enhance the youthfullness of the movie.

The movie is not a regular movie with a story , screenplay & climax . It does not proceed as a normal movie would . It is wound around the various first expereinces of various individuals around the protogonist in a light hearted manner .

Dialogues are real to life & " KOOL " .Though there is ample dose of english in it .

It is quiet similar to " Hydrabad Blues " in the way casting , performances & the making of the movie is concerned but not as lucid or linear as it. Movie gives a feel of watching a documentary now & then .

Bottomline : Trendsetter in Tamil .

3.5/5
