MALAYAN

My Review: Malayan



“ Thiruvalarselvan “ Karan’s “ Malayan ” has a solid script , adequate acting & some suspense in the proceedings which keeps the viewers guessing .

M.P.Gopi joins the list of R.V.Udhayakumar & P.Vasu in giving good village based movie with a neat script .

Dhina’s music is nothing special but he too follows the flavour of the season with some native songs like recent hits “Mudhal Mariyadhai ” ,” Chinna Goundar ” …etc.

I.Sridhar’s cinematography is wonderful with some stunning CG work .

Karan is sure to become one of the leading hero in the near future especially in the rural areas among the women in particular .

Shammu is a native face & acts well while Udhayathara fills in the void after Shammu leaves the scene.

Sharathbabu is in form nowadays with varied roles like in “Annamalai “ & here too he has a solid role to do which he does with aplomb.

It is encouraging that these days movies have gone out of the confines of Madras & refreshing to see rural South Tamil Nadu for a change . Let this be a begging for we have a lot many areas there to show on screen .

On the whole , go & watch this well made movie in theatres & not in your VCRs.

……………………………………………………………

P.S: Don’t get confused by this review which dates back to 28th , July , 1989 .

Coming to the present time , this movie is good but the only thing that works against it’s favour is that it may have got a release some 20 years too late……

2/5
