Mouna Guru is a Tamil Movie in which Vamsam fame Arulnidhi plays the lead role and the movie is directed by Shanthakumar. Mouna Guru’ has an off beat theme with all commercial elements thrown in.
More and more cliched Masala from the A-league actors and very few films manage to come up with brilliant stories in hand and indeed showcased their adeptness. Say for instance, ‘Kattradhu Kalavu’, ‘Ali Baba’, ‘Aaranya Kaandam’, etc, etc… were more off that genres. These films didn’t perform well, but were standouts as taut thrillers.
To start off with, ‘Mouna Guru’ falls into this category and its filmmaker Santhakumar kick-starting his directorial venture with this film. Indeed, it’s a promising debut and this auteur has a long way to go. Let’s rub off the statements claiming it to be an inspiration or a replica. Overall, it’s a neat work by the entire team and Arulnidhi has chosen an apt script to suit his image. Simple words to mark the verdict – Mouna Guru is an edge-on-seat thriller, though not with more twists and turns, keeps you engaged in many parts.
First 10minutes into the film, the howls and comments for not so famous league of actors is blurred. Yes! An accident followed by group of cops looting a big money. A girl with unknown identity makes a video recording of their plans through the camera, which in turn falls into the hands of another man. Unexpectedly Karunakaran (Arulnidhi), a calm student is linked to the mysterious proceedings and what unfolds next is a racy drama of combats between the characters.
