Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

sribornagain-394-460163 "Muran " is a thriller that lacks pace , screenplay is the culprit but enamors the viewers with some good acting , slick making & fine direction. Rajjan Madhav making his debut has fine visual sense & has directed the movie pretty well. As the bane with most of the young film- makers these days, he shows some slackness as far as screenplay is concerned. Hence what might have been an edge-of-the-seat thriller lacks that adrenaline which might have done wonders.The movie starts at a very promising premise with the lead actors who are of diametrically opposite personality embarking on a journey from Bangalore to Chennai. 15 minutes into the narration, the first instance of cliché strikes you bad with a sales-girl (Haripriya) who sells "washing powder" comes into Cheran's house & demonstrating how to remove stain from the white shirt.....!!! From here on movie nose-dives with its share of unbearable clichés.Muran is the movie where women are either angelic or devilish with no scope for any greyness. Spoilt rich brat , angelic orphan girl , innocent poor musician who settles for a marriage of convenience , alcoholic – adulterous- techie wife , Anglo-Indian girl born of illicit relationship are the characterization of the lead actors of the movie which one must have seen umpteen number of times.First half is slow, poor with couple of irritating flash-backs. Movie becomes interesting in the second half with its share of twists & turns though most of them are predictable including the final one at the climax. Pace also picks up in the second half but revelation happening pretty earlier mars the impact. The ensuing cat & mouse game does sustain the interest to certain degree, the movie ends abruptly.The two major plus points of the movie are the acting of the lead actors Prasanna & Cheran and the slick cinematography. Prasanna rocks in his role of a conniving stranger who after a point of time starts dictating term with a hapless Cheran. His role grows on the viewers as the narration progresses & in the end blooms into a hard-core villain. Cheran is again typecast as a hapless, innocent & goody-goody person torn between his conscience & the blackmail.Among the ladies Haripriya has a substantial role & she has utilized her opportunity well. Nikitha comes in a very minuscule role while the new find Suma struggles in finding right expressions.Padmesh is the cinematographer and boy he deserves accolade..! Movie is shot in a stylish manner befitting a thriller. The visuals are rich & glossy. Director Rajjan Madhav seems to have a good visual sense & he is amply supported by Padmesh in this regard in translating his vision onto the screen.In Sajjan Madhav's music couple of songs are hum-worthy & he supports the movie with his good background score though there is some jarring here & there.Rajjan Madhav seems to have good potential in him to be a good movie maker. He need to brush up his script writing & must move away from all these clichés that he has used liberally in this movie.On the whole, "Muran " is a nice attempt but difficult for the viewers to sustain interest throughout.Bottomline : iffy-iffy

Vijay Maran Muran is an enjoyable entertainer. The story of death, murder, and many things make it all a very good movie to watch. Prasanna plays his part well and so does Cheran. This film is a guaranteed success of 2011. Everything fits together and all gaps are closed. Rajan Madhav and Padmesh have made this film very good to watch. The climax is the best part. Cheran's emotions and facial expressions make him a very flexible actor. This film might not be like Kalavani or Sarkar Raj in terms of interest. But Muran has enough to keep the train moving. Intensity is key. However, some people might dismiss the average soundtrack and lack of a comedian.In the end though, Muran is an absolutely amazing and outstanding film to watch. Go ahead and enjoy.

supertram100 A musician took a lift from a businessman on a highway and they are heading to the same destination.they share their own lives and the problem they had.the businessman comes up with a deal to solve each others problem but things going out of musician's way and how he comes over the businessman is the story... It may be a loosely based on an English movie but who care its one of the rare attempts in Tamil.The movie is well taken and actors did their job...you may find the movie bore at some stages and the story should have been concentrated well. The traveling sequences and the murder plans are good Overall its a good one...you will neither enjoy nor hate it....

Vijaykumar Parmasivam Movie is good... This different angle of thriller movie in Tamil industry...some of the scenes are enjoyable and good..Prasanna acting is damn good in the movie... This is kind of movies is really good effort..Madhav has shown a nice little directorial touch, as it were, during the beginning and climax of the movie. Despite not being an original thriller, Muran will catch your fancy during its running time. It's well made and neatly acted out by its lead actors. If you are a purist, rather than bickering about the lack of originality, just appreciate the fact that Hitchcock remains an eternal source of inspiration for our directors. You'll be fine!Must watch movie in Theaters.
