Mynaa - Unconventional

I think, director Prabhu Solomon was very clear about 2 things.

1. Keep the characters as natural as possible
2. Show the hill villages and Munnar as beautiful as possible.

He has accomplished both the tasks successfully. Congratulations for that!

Why did I call this movie 'Unconventional'? The travel of story is something very different from whatever is shown so far. But how good was that difference is a big question.

We have seen movies where the story approaches tragedy but end up on a happy note and vice versa. TR movies, Sethu  etc.were great successes because of that total shift post interval. But this movie was frequently cycling between tragedy and happiness. Audience at some point of stage were tired of the twists. "Hey epdi dhan ya padatha mudikka pora?" was the reaction.

There were brilliant comedy scenes (esp the one after bus accident). But they were scattered and not placed properly. I was not clear, what kind of screenplay Prabhu Solomon was trying to deliver!

Songs could have been better. I felt Selvaganesh (Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu fame) would have been a better choice.

Amidst all those complaints from my side, this movie definitely deserves a good appreciation (which many reviews have given and the theatres are running with good crowd!). Climax was awesome! The complete crew gave a wonderful performance. The small boy (who comes in lungi and calls 'Ai Suruli') deserves a special mention. He was too good!

Amala Paul also deserves a special mention ;) She was very good, both in appearance and acting!

If the director had streamlined the travel of movie even better, this movie would have been listed in 'Best Tamil cinemas'. Now it just deserves a pat on the back!
