Knowing the fact that Meteoroid is rich in minerals the Britisher stood silent despite informing to the Government as well as villager’s belief may get disturbed.
In 1980’s Gopi runs a studio on the name of Hollywood who immediately falls in love with Mundasupatti girl Kalaivani. Gopi was called to take the photograph of village head who is about to die. Zamindar requests to take away the meteoroid by handing huge some amount from the archaeologist.
Here comes the actual twist in the story as Gopi wins Kalaivani’s heart? What happens to the meteoroid? Will it reach the hands of the zamindar? These million dollar questions will be answered on silver screen.
Character/Acting :
Vishnu Vishal as Gopi – Delivered decent performance.
Nandita as Kalaivaani – Cute but not sweet in celluloid.
Kaali Venkat as Azhagumani – Not Bad
Anand Raj – Nothing Interesting
Technical Aspects :
Music by Sean Roldan – Background music is another asset of this entertainer, Songs not bad.
Cinematography by P. V. Sankar – Crystal Clear Work.
Editing by Leo John Paul – The running time of the film can be made finer as it crossed 120 mins it would be better to cut down at 90 mins.
Direction:
Directed by “Ram”, who is best known for his short films, has won accolades for his workout which is titled as “Mundasupatti”. He himself inked his presence in Kollywood through his short film on big screens for full length. Director could have worked on the climax which lasts 20 minutes as it has hiccups.
Overall Effectiveness Of The Film:Â
Mundasupatti – Watch it for the innovative plot that director Ram tries to convey. The film, however, increases the tolerance level of the audience, the one who choose to sit through it. If only this run-of-the-mill plot was packaged well.
Plus –Â Background Music, Cinematography
