கோ ' படம் கொடுத்த வரவேற்பை அடுத்து ஜீவா நடிப்பில் 'ரெளத்திரம்', 'வந்தான் வென்றான்', 'நண்பன்' என படங்கள் வரிசைக் கட்டி நிற்கின்றன.
இப்படங்களை அடுத்து மிஷ்கினின் இயக்கத்தில் 'முகமூடி' என்னும் படத்தில் நடிக்க இருக்கிறார் ஜீவா.
மிஷ்கினின் கனவு படம் 'முகமூடி'. முதலில் இப்படத்தில் நடிக்க இருந்தது சூர்யா.
சூர்யாவை அடுத்து ஆர்யா, விஷால் என பல பேரிடம் மாறி இப்போது ஜீவா நடிக்க ஒப்பந்தமாகி இருக்கிறார். இப்படத்தை ஒரு மும்பை தயாரிப்பு நிறுவனம் தயாரிக்க இருப்பதாக தகவல்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.
'முகமூடி' படம் ஒரு சூப்பர் ஹீரோ சம்பந்தப்பட்ட கதையாகும். சமுதாயத்தில் நடக்கும் அநியாயங்களை தட்டி கேட்கும் கதையாம் 'முகமூடி'.
இப்படம் ஒரு ஆக்ஷன் கதை என்பதால் இப்படத்தில் சண்டைக் காட்சிகளை அமைக்க ஹாங்காங்கில் இருக்கும் ஒரு ஸ்டண்ட் இயக்குனரை ஒப்பந்தம் செய்து இருக்கிறாராம் மிஷ்கின்.
இப்படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு ஆகஸ்ட் மாதம் தொடங்க இருப்பதாகவும், 2012ல் கோடை விடுமுறைக்கு திரைக்கு வரலாம் என்றும் தகவல்கள் வெளியாகி உள்ளன.

first it was surya, then vishal, now jeeva... kadaisiyala yaaro
Jan 2009
July 2009Surya, who is waiting for the release of his Ayan with Tamannaah in February, is planning to do a super hero film Mugamudi., to be directed by Mysskin. The film, said to be an action adventure flick with special effects is a big budget Rs 35 crore film. Mysskin, who is busy with his Nandalala will finalise the new script after the film is released. The film will have music by AR Rahman, and a little bird informs us that Surya is going to learn Kung Fu from a Hong Kong based martial arts trainer as he plays a Kung Fu fighter in Mugamudi !
Is all this happening because of his stars or has it all been brought upon by himself, poor Mysskin seems to be in an unenviable situation.
It's been ages since Mysskin completed 'Nandalala'.But he himself does not know when the film will be released. It seems Ilaiyaraja is yet to deliver the background music. In one film function, Mysskin started that all directors should work with Ilaiyaraja and that turned out to be his undoing.
On the same dais, Ilaiyaraja retorted that, "I do not need anyone's recommendation. I am not yet in such a drastic predicament," and it seemed aimed at putting Mysskin's nose out of joint.
So, the director started to work on 'Mugamoodi’. Surya, who had originally agreed to be in the film, opted out and totally upset Mysskin. When he narrated the story to Vishal, the actor agreed. So, the 'Mugamoodi' that Surya was to don is now to be donned by Vishal.

Jiiva is red hot in Kollywood
After the stupendous success of Ko, Jiiva has become red hot in the market. Everybody wants to sign him and is offering him record amounts as salary.
But Jiiva the smart guy is only looking at the potential of the script and the director. He has signed two films Mysskin's Mugamudi for UTV and Gautham Menon's film for Ko producers RS Infotainment.
Both the films will start around the same time in August. In Mysskin's film Jiiva will play Tamil cinemas first superhero, while Gautham Menon's is a romantic thriller.
This means Jiiva works with Kollywood's super directors back to back, which is sure to make him go up the ladder. His strategy is clear, go for good dependable scripts with big name directors who are on the look out for a star.
Please note Mysskin had approached Suriya, Arya and Vishal for Mugamudi title role before zeroing in on Jiiva.
Similarly Gautham Menon film was written keeping STR in mind, but due to quirk of fate Jiiva gets to do it.

Narain is Mughamoodi's bad guy!
Narain has been signed to do the 'bad man' in Jiiva's Mysskin directed Mughamoodi.
The film is about super hero played by Jiivaa and is strongly rumoured to be on similar lines like Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight.
The buzz is that Jiiva will play the super hero, while Narain would be an equal and strong foil to him by playing the 'Joker'.
Mysskin in his first meeting with Jiiva told him that unless the bad guy character is as strong as the super hero, the film will not work.
For Mughamoodi, Narain has started to attend special karate classes. He will also have a look which would be menacing.
The pre-production on the film is going on in the full swing with shooting likely to start end August.
Mysskin is writing the script with equal footage for Jiiva and Narain. Narain has signed the film for his highest ever salary, as he is playing a negative character.
The film will be a turning point in his career.

Narain is the villain for Jiiva

Jun 28, 2011
Home > More news
In an exciting development, Narain will play the baddie in Mysskin's Mugamoodi with Jiiva. In this film, Jiiva is a superhero and Narain will play the larger than life super villain. The script will give equal relevance to both characters and the actors are very excited about their respective roles.
Narain has gone in for a makeover, so that he can look the part and scare the hell out of the audience. He has a good track record with Mysskin who introduced him to Tamil cinema with Chithiram Pesudhadi and Anjathey. And Jiiva is on a winning streak, so it looks like a great combination in the making!

Nasser in Mysskin’s Mugamoodi
Published on Wednesday, December 7th, 2011 at 6:37 pm under Actors, Movies, News.
UTV Motion Pictures is happy to announce popular artiste Nasser joining Mugamoodi in a powerful Cop role. Nasser is quite excited with the role and the film’s script and is happy to join the film in this key role. Mugamoodi, a film based on the life of a super hero, gets rolling from next week in Chennai. For the first time, Hong Kong based technicians have worked on the costumes and look of Jiiva as the super hero. Narain plays the powerful anti-hero role for the first time in the film. Both Jiiva and Narain went through three months of Kung-fu training for the film under a master and are ready to play the role in the film with authenticity.
Jiiva’s special costume as the super hero, designed by a Hong Kong based studio has arrived and a trial of the same was done with Jiiva recently. The photos with Jiiva in the special costume will be revealed soon.
Mugamoodi is written and directed by Mysskin and stars Jiiva, Narain, Nasser, Pooja Hegde and a few more key artistes, whose name will be revealed in due course. Mysskin has submitted the final script a few weeks back, which was highly appreciated by the UTV management for its racy and gripping screenplay, excellent dialogues and amazing action scenes described in the script. Mysskin is planning for one stretch shooting of the film and complete it by April 2012 for release during summer.
Mugamoodi has music by K (Krishna Kumar), lyrics by Madhan Karki and Camera by Sathya.
Mugamoodi will be releasing in both Tamil and Telugu and both Jiiva and Nasser will be dubbing in their own voice in both the languages.

கசியுது முகமூடி கதை!
http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IfmjuDWhLro/Tu...25284%2529.jpg
சென்னையில் தற்போது விறுவிறுப்பாக நடந்து வருகிறது முகமுடி படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு.
இந்தப்படத்தின் திரைக்கதை புத்தகம், ஹாலிவுட் பாணியில் உதவி இயக்குனர்கள் உள்ளிட்ட படக்குழுவில் முக்கிய பொறுப்பு வகிக்கும் அனைவருக்கும் வழங்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
இதனால் படத்தின் கதையைப் பற்றி படப்பிடிப்பு இடைவேளைகளில் சர்வசாதரணமாக பேசிக்கொள்கிறார்களாம். தற்போது படத்தின் திரைக்கதை நாயகியை முக்கிய கதாபாத்திரமாகக் கொண்டே நகர்கிறது என்கிறார்கள்.
முகமூடி படத்தில் பூஜா ஹெக்டே. ஜீவாவுக்கு நாயகியாக நடிக்கிறார். பத்திரிகை நிருபராக இந்தப் படத்தில் நடிக்கும் பூஜாவின் கதாபாத்திரத்தைச் சுற்றித்தான் மொத்த முகமூடி படமுமே நகர்கிறதாம்.
மும்பை பாந்திராவில் அக்டோபர் 13-ஆம் தேதி பிறந்தவராம் பூஜா ஹெக்டே. மிஸ் யுனிவர்ஸ் இந்தியா 2010 ஆம் ஆண்டுக்கான அழகிப் போட்டியில் இரண்டாவது இடத்தைப் பிடித்த இவர், பரத நாட்டியம் முறையாகப் படித்திருப்பதாகவும் கூறுகிறார். “ கதையில் எனக்கு இருக்கும் முக்கியத்துவம் ஒன்றே என்னை இந்தப் படத்தை ஒப்புக்கொள்ள வைத்தது” என்று கூறும் பூஜா, இந்தப் படத்தின் கதைபடி கொல்லபடுவார் என்கிறார்கள்.
சுப்ரமணியபுரம் கதைபோல, பூஜாவைக் காதலிக்கும் ஜீவாவை, அவரது காதலியை வைத்தே எப்படி தீர்த்துக் கட்ட நரேன் திட்டமிடுகிறார் என்பதும், அதிலிருந்து ஜீவா தப்பித்து வில்லனை எப்படி பழிதீர்க்கிறார் விறுவிறுவிறுப்பான திரைக்கதை என்கிறார்கள்.
இதில் முகமுடி என்று மிஷ்கின் சுட்டிக்கட்டுவது சூப்பர் ஹீரோ ஜீவா அணிந்து சண்டைபோடும் முகமுடி அல்லவாம்! வில்லனின் சூழ்ச்சிதான் இதில் முகமுடி என்கிறார்கள்!

இந்தி திரையுலகில் பல வெற்றி படங்களை தயாரித்தும் , விநியோகித்தும் வந்த யு.டிவி நிறுவனம் தற்போது தமிழ் திரையுலகில் கால் பதித்து இருக்கிறது.
தமிழ் திரையுலகில் 'தெய்வத்திருமகள்' படத்தின் மூலம் தன்னை பிரபலப்படுத்திக் கொண்டது யுடிவி. அதனைத் தொடர்ந்து, 'வேட்டை'யை வெளியிட்டது.
தற்போது வெளிவந்து 'இரண்டரை மணி நேரம் காமெடிக்கும், க்ளாமருக்கும் கியாரண்டி' என்று மக்களிடையே வரவேற்பை பெற்று இருக்கும் 'கலகலப்பு' படத்தினை யு.டிவி நிறுவனம் தான் வெளியிட்டது.

இப்படம் எப்போது வெளிவரும் என்பது குறித்து யு.டிவியின் தென்னிந்திய பொறுப்பாளர் தனஞ்செயன் " முகமூடி படத்தில் எடிட் செய்யப்பட்ட க்ளைமாக்ஸ் காட்சிகளைப் பார்த்தேன். ஜீவா - நரேன் இருவருமே கடுமையாக உழைத்து இருக்கிறார்கள்.
ஜுன் மாதம் முதல் 'முகமூடி' படத்தினை விளம்பரப்படுத்தும் பணிகள் துவங்கும். படத்தை எப்படி விளம்பரப்படுத்தலாம் என்ற யோசனைகள் ரசிகர்களிடம் இருந்து வரவேற்கப்படுகின்றன. ஜுலை மாதம் இசையும், படம் ஆக்ஸ்ட் மாதம் திரைக்கு வரும்.
விக்ரம் நடித்து வரும் 'தாண்டவம்' திரைப்படம் 'முகமூடி' வெளிவந்து நான்கு வாரங்கள் கழித்து செப்டம்பரில் வெளியிடப்படும். " என்று தெரிவித்து இருக்கிறார்.

Mysskin Special
Pls don't compare this film with Batman or Spiderman. I have made an attempt in this genre with the budget allowed for Indian films. Don't expect too much. But I can assure u that my next superhero film will challenge Nolan's.

This trailer looks good. Was discussing with equar on twitter this morning.
Myshshkin is challenging himself in trying an action movie. I didn't like the action sequences in YS and AnjadhE (equa did). It will be interesting to see what Myshshkin does here.
-
From: P_R on 29th June 2012 02:32 PM [Full View]
A post in the exchange with equa.
It'll be interesting to see what he does in Mugamoodi.To elaborate what I meant about the Myshkin fights being neither here nor there....
To a casual observer, like yours truly, there are there are two distinct changes in TFI stunt styles over time.
One where a hyperstylized stunt choreography has been totally abandoned in favour of greater 'realism'. Bala-StunSiva come to mind. And you can see this now in many many 'ordinary' films where 'katti puraNdu saNdai pOduthal' is shown as is.
The old 'biff','pow' punch sounds are morphing or even being abandoned in favour of location-based clatter. In fact, the locations are being used exceedingly well than ever before in Tamil films in these stunts. The editing, camerawork seem to stitch up together and produce a great effect.
And mind you, it isn't all being-in-the-scene alone. There is a good degree of cinematic aestheticization that they manage to blend in here. Eg. the theatre fight in Subramaniyapuram is all location and the camera jostling to capture it, but the final frame a bucket is presumably hurled on the victim, whose legs are all that are visible to us.
The other way is retaining the fantasy-choreography element and still creating a higher impact. This is not a marked departure and something that has been gradually happening.
I was watching Honest Raj last night and there is a sequence where Vijayakanth jumps on an approaching car from the front. It was shot with a ground level cam (Myshkin style ) moving forward with the car almost till Vijayakanth jumps on to the bonnet, top etc. The way it is shot and cut is quite seamless (his aasthaana Rocky Rajesh I think).
If you think about it, it is quite different from famous stunts of the 80s which was about a relatively static spectacle. Spectacle but nevertheless static. Even gimmicky. Think Kamal's bench fight in 'thoongAdhE thambi thoongAdhE'.
And they make no bones about it being a 'fantasy'. (Prabhu's dance-y fight in your favourite Guru Sishyan).
But gradually in the 90s you see a sleight of hand, where with 'sheer' intensity they want the audience to believe the fight is real while retaining the classical choreographed feel too. Looking at Vijayakanth's (and not Arjun's - it is useful to announce this to the world again and again) fights over time will give us a clearer sense of this.
Even the 'gimmicky' fights had to feel 'real' - the nammavar blade fight for instance (ஓங்கி உட்டேன்னா...சைட்லேர்ந்து பார்த்தாலும் சிரிக்கிற மாதிரி இருக்கும் LOL).
And it got further and further. The most recent and memorable example is the Tamil Ghajini, which incidentally is by oldtimer Super Subbarayan. I think he was left back when they went to Hindi and they opted for Peter Hein - who is actually quite a good representative of this 'school' (if I may call it that).
Needless to say, the thrill of speed has (inevitably) gotten further: further ahead - the beachside fight between the two pancake-faces in the Dasavatharam climax, yEzhAm aRivu etc. Precision and pace advancing more and more.
We 'have always imported (even the TTT benchfight is Jackie Chan' methinks) but executing smoothly is no joke. The fights and chases in Ayan - regardless of the heaviness of the inspiration - are definitely a milestone in terms of execution in a Tamil film.
While at it, let me observe that this is out of scope for the Ajiths and Vijays of the world (and while at it I might as well say Rajini's fights do nothing to me - he is hopelessly stuck in the 80s). Of course, now there are a lot of films with some unimaginative wire-fu too - that is inevitable. But TFI has kind of evolved its own variety in stylized choreography.
From what little I have seen of Telugu, I don't think this is the case there. It only looks like tacky early 90s plus gimmicks, even today. Tamils seem to have taken the ball and sprinted with it.
It is in this context that I say the fights in AnjAdhE and Yudhdham Sei are neither here nor there.
It is as if Myshkin refuses to acknowledge the changes from the 80s to 90s to now, doesn't understand the higher bar on believability now and wants to execute some independent fantasy (possibly it is exactly that, which appealed to you).
We know he's got some weird ideas, like his guilt about kuththupAttu - I want to read this along with that. "Ok if I have to put in a fight - this is how I do it". Like he is apologetic for how it 'compromises' his reality and yet wants to go through with it somehow.
Didn't click for me one bit.

Good exchange, but leaving TFI's tradition and evolution, need to expand a bit more on why Mysskin's doesnt do it for you, in isolation. I sort of get what you mean by neither here nor there, but a little example?
Meanwhile I just crossed a shooting on Taramani foot bridge (Cheran's samurai jack).

And oh, I'm sure it'll be a worthy enough film. It's just that I look forward to a wholly compelling film from Mysskin. And I've a paradoxical theory about this. Mysskin's tendency to get sentimental/melodramatic works best when he's working in standard action subjects (more than in films like nandhalAlA; don't mean this as a knock on nandhalAlA) in the sense that the subject forces him to keep the sentimentality within limits and at the same time the standard tone of such subjects is offset very very effectively by the tragic arc and emotional crux he infuses into it.

nice discussion on mysskin's fight scenes.
my take :
he wants to have an action block.
but he wants to deny the viewer the gratification
that violence on screen provides to standard action
lovers. it is like having a comedy scene where someone is
slapping someone else, but imagine if the camera zoomed in
onthe victim and killed the 'humour' of that moment.
it is like making the viewer think "ennada panraanunga?
varisaya vandndhu adi vaangi". it is to make all sorts of
deepictions of violence as absurd.

-
From: kid-glove on 29th June 2012 05:21 PM [Full View]
Though you'd meant it for TFI, I'd extend it beyond..It got dirty (since nAyagan), dusty and was infused with dynamism/urgency.
According to Flau, it's Parinda, but to me, it's Nayagan.. Then Parinda/Shiva...
Coming back to stunts, what's also important I think is this departure in style still incorporates quite a bit of contemporary Tamil cinema aesthetics and not anything from the old school. The heightened violence, the rawness, the sharp cuts are all there in (the bursts of action you see in) chiththiram pEsuthadi and anjAthE* for instance, but there's a deliberate slowdown of the showdown (oops, didn't intend to rhyme) which I don't think marks a regression to the old grammar. I think the answer to this is one word: Samurai. The looming presence of the 'Japanese' in his style is of course well known.
In this too, I find more of Kurosawa & Kitano than Kobayashi, Mizoguchi, Fukasaku and Gosha..
---------
P_R,
On TDR, it's all for effect in 'realistic' way, but isn't it more quasi-fantasy, not readily apparent due to its stifling seriousness, but when you watch it again, the action sequences are incoherent and props appear out of nowhere.. I'm referring to the abduction/chase sequences.
I've never been impressed by Hand-to-hand combat in Nolar's films either..

MUGAMOODI SEQUEL IN 3D
G Dhananjayan of UTV has said that there are plans to make a sequel to Mugamoodi in 3D. But all this depends on the film’s plight at the box office this weekend. Mugamoodi is slated for release on August 31st and the expectations on this film are very high.
The marketing and promos are currently on at a huge scale and this upped the expectation levels for sure. Being the first Superhero film in Tamil, wonder how it would fare at the box office. But good promos and word of mouth are sure to make this film grand success, opine industry sources.

movie opens with titles against marvel comics and very good BGM (sounds familiar?)
five mins of the opening is very promising and you sit back with lots of anticipation
and then Jeeva appears, followed by tasmac song sequence (sounds familiar?) very bad choreography I must add
heroine appears ... the usual tamil movie girl chase begins.. song vaaya moodi summaa irudaa (the single best thing in the whole movie)
to pursue her, jeeva dons a mask and a cloak complete with underpants outside pants (sounds familiar?)
in the meantime, the masked caped guy helps to catch a thief. heroine dislikes jeeva the man but likes the hooded guy (sounds familiar?)
this goes on and on until the intermission... after which mysskin promises the mission
and just when you think the action will begin, it slows down again, after 10 mins of action.
final part, the joker...
the villain kidnaps a bus load of kids and threatens to kill them one by one unless his conditions are met (sounds familiar?)
then nasar the chief IO announces thru the media asking for TN's saviour (idhu eppada nadandhuchu ) to please help, wherever you are 
(sounds familiar?)
true enough mugamoodi appears, and together with his small team go after joker... the villain and gang.
the joker (yes its an imitation) does all the comic actions spouting wise (and not so wise) cracks (sounds familiar?)
in the end, the joker's end is also ....sounds familiar
as predictable, the masked hero turns from his lady love to go save thamizh naadu makkal (from cheap imitations I hope)

Harris Jeyraj clone K
1. Please do not give your money's worth as BGM. Silence works very well and much better in many places,
2. BGM means background... the music should complement the visuals, not fight for attention. When it does, it sticks out irritatingly and can kill the scene.
3. Smaller boys than you have better sense of BGM. If you are not competent, please source out.

+1The characters, including Mugamoodi, fail to leave a lasting impression though.
In his own style, Mysskin has tried to narrate a superhero story, which unfortunately lacks the spectacle that is very much needed for such a genre. The movie may serve the interests of South Indian fans, should it not be compared with Hollywood superhero flicks.
The film maker could have worked several improvements for "Mugamoodi". Overall, the film is ambitious but sort of imperfect to fit the superhero concept. However, it indeed deserves a onetime watch.

Straight to the point ..
Decent movie .. neat entertainer .. it is gripping to a great extent ..
Acting is good .. fights are awesome , though it is too text bookish ...
Mysskin and his trademarks .. :sigh: i love those tracking shots and his hatred for unnecessary stylish editor Antony style cuts .. effective ways to avoid over dose of violence ..but again we can see a repeat of heads staring down , people walking away just to stare down etc ..
Jeeva does well .. his father role is highly cliched ..
Narain rocks in some scenes ... Batman , superman , Spiderman, ironman , mugamoodi ... his closeup shots in that staircase scene are menacing ..
Heroine is good at giving those bowled over expressions .. and that's it for her .. many just failed to note that she never spoke a word with the hero
Nov sir can be banned for trashing the bgm .. it was not over the top .. i thought it was neatly done .. K .. and well done to whomever for deleting that maayavi song ..
That annakkili solo violin piece in bar anthem song shows why raja is the best ever composer of our times .. mesmerised .. goosebumps and tears ..
Mysskin has been pushed put of his comfort zone here to make it more commercial .. he has also tried to make every scene thrilling and classy .. succeeds in many scenes .. some falls flat ..

From: Movie Buff on 1st September 2012 11:58 AM [Full View]
Hi hubbers...
This is my review for Mugamoodi
Pls provide your valuable feedback
Mugamoodi – Superhero with Limitations
At the audio launch of Mugamoodi, Mysskin had a word of caution for the audience. He said that his film was an ordinary one and do not come in with great expectations. But expectations cannot be merely created or diluted by words. With Mysskin at the helm of affairs, the promising Jiiva in the lead and backed by UTV your expectations were quite high for this Desi superhero flick. The end product reinforces the truth in Myskkin's words. Mugamoodi does fall a little short of the expectations, especially in the second half. Nevertheless it is not a total washout either. In fact the first half is top notch. It is Batman meets Spiderman and super fun. The modus operandi of Narain and his men and the grim look in these scenes on the lines of 'The Dark Knight' up the ante. On the other hand we have Jiiva trying to woo his lady love wearing a mask like Tobey Maguire did in Spiderman. Now don’t get me wrong. In spite of these similarities the first half of Mugamoodi has Mysskin's touch all over it and works really well in setting up the battlefield. It is the battle itself in the second half that is sort of a letdown.
Plot:
The movie is about a young man (Jiiva) who idolises Bruce Lee and is passionate about Kung Fu. He falls in love with Pooja Hegde who happens to be the Police Commissioner’s daughter. The commissioner (Nasser) is behind a group of criminals lead by Narein who are giving the cops a tough time. Jiiva happens to cross their path at one point and the second half is supposed to be a cat and mouse game between Jiiva and Narein. But sadly the game isn't that interesting.
Cast:
Jiiva is extremely impressive. This young man seems to be getting all his moves right. His romantic interludes with the heroine and his comic escapades in the first half are delightful. The scene where Jiiva's father abuses him in front of the heroine is a scream. And he looks every inch a kungu fu exponent in the action sequences. Narein needs to be lauded for accepting the role of the antagonist. He does look menacing during most part of the movie. But his antics in the climax scene do not leave the desired impact and you feel sorry for him. Pooja looks good in certain angles. She has very little scope for performance and this is probably the weakest role for any female lead in a Mysskin movie. Selvaah comes up with a restrained and dignified performance as the Kung Fu Master. Nasser and Girish Karnad prove their mettle as veterans but somehow you get the feel that their roles are incomplete.
Technical Department:
Music Director K's background score is impressive and actually enhances many a scene. That said the BGM in almost all Mysskin's movie barring Nandhalala are identical that you wonder whether it is the man himself who has done the background score!!! The 'Vaaya Moodi Summa Iru da' song is an aural and visual treat. Mysskin's voice doesn't suit Jiiva in the opening bar number and this is something that could have been avoided. Cinematographer Satya's visuals are good. And the angles again are so typical of a Mysskin film. The Kung Fu sequences are done with aplomb. Surely a lot of hard work has gone behind those realistic and engaging stunts. But most of them come in the first half when Jiiva is actually the normal guy. After he gets into the super hero shoes there is really not much that he does except running and jumping over buildings.
Mugamoodi is probably the first real Tamil superhero flick. Kandhasamy disappointed big time and actually did not show the transformation of Vikram into a super hero. Though Velayudham clicked with the masses it was more about Vijay himself than his super hero avatar. You sympathize with Myskkin because in this age and day almost everyone is familiar with the Hollywood superheroes, as they have reached even the interiors of Tamil Nadu through their dubbed versions. Hence comparisons with them seem almost unavoidable.
All said and done Mugamoodi is a laudable attempt by Myskkin to bring on screen our own superhero without compromising on logic. We sincerely hope that Mysskin comes up with a tighter screenplay and makes the clash between the superhero and his nemesis more engaging in the sequels that he has promised.

Watch it for here and there Jeeva stunt + few drops of comedy in a glass of BG music....Thus, BETTER WATCH THIS MOVIE IN COMING DIWALI ON ''SUN TV.''...

Sep 1, 2012
Mugamoodi: Unmasked!
MALATHI RANGARAJAN
http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/d...G_1196217f.jpg
treading new terrain Mugamoodi
The influence of East Asian culture on director Mysskin has always been evident, and he makes no bones about it. Apart from Kung Fu, the mainstay of action in Mugamoodi, references to the Dragon and the Chinese Embassy at a dingy mask-making unit on a terrace, convey a marked slant towards the region. The character of Mugamoodi (U) may be inspired by the comic book series or the Hollywood versions of Superman and other such men, but still the flavour of China and Korea is inextricably woven into the film.
Mysskin’s effort to make Mugamoodi appear as authentic as possible deserves to be commended! And Jiiva’s impressive underplay helps the viewer relate comfortably to the character. Mugamoodi, as he is called, is as human as everybody else that he makes you feel, if Mugamoodi can, you can, unlike a Spiderman or a Batman. The acumen of the writer-director comes to the fore here. The titular role fits Jiiva well, very much like the armour he dons. But your heart goes out to him — performing stunts in a costume that looks unbearably heavy, with a face-mask to boot must have been quite a task.
What begins as a romantic caper moves on to a dangerous ground of murder, mistaken identity and Machiavellian villainy. A predictable tit-for-tat routine between Lee (Jiiva) and Shakti (Pooja Hegde), transforms into love and takes a serious turn when Shakti’s father, a police commissioner (Nasser), is shot at and the blame falls on the guileless Lee. Somewhere down the line, the hero is forced to wear a mask and armour.
Beginning with a face-mask that is more on the lines of The Mask of Zorro, Lee graduates to the Superman wardrobe when the law chases him.
When was the last time you saw a good-looking villain stride on screen with venom oozing out from every vein? As Angusaamy, the diabolical avenger, Narain scores. But the pride he takes in the murders sounds immature.
The stunt choreographer, actors and the visual effects team draw appreciation in the climactic sequences where you witness chilling action several metres above the ground. Not to forget composer K’s electrifying RR. In fact, just when you begin to feel that the background score is either loud or obviously silent, K transports you to a sound zone that’s perfect for the mood of the sequences.
Pooja Hegde doesn’t have much scope for talent display. But Nasser, a natural, proves his mettle once again. And do we need an actor of Girish Karnad’s stature for the grandpa’s role? Just two old men and a physically challenged youngster are enough to take on trained goondas! At times, Mysskin shocks you with such juvenile touches in his screenplay.
Though venturing into a genre that’s been beaten to pulp in the West, Mysskin steers clear of stereotypes. That is if you can ignore some of the clichés of a Mysskin film. The song and dance in a wine shop, a Mysskin trademark, is part of Mugamoodi too — his dig at his own weakness for the yellow-sari clad dancer evokes a smile. However, he has eschewed gyrations of female dancers this time. And how many times do we have to watch a father with an acid tongue, who never understands his son?
Being an action film, Mugamoodi could have been racier. Most of the incidents happen in the dark, and the culprits roaming around in black only add to the opaque effect.
A children’s film? It’s a clean film. Probably kids would have found it more engaging, if the fantasy element had been brought in. Romance? Of course, but it is only used as an instrument to propel the tale to action mode. Worth a watch? Yes, for travelling on a terrain that’s new to Tamil cinema!

//Narain scores. But the pride he takes in the murders sounds immature.//
actually i thought it was done well.. he speaks about how he killed someone only when he was losing the fight... kind of disarming tactics and shifts focus of opponent to anger..
the other characters were etched well too...maybe repatitive/cliched ... but they had good roles and good dialogues...
mugamudi ya superhero mathiri kamikka try pannadhu thaan seems unconvincing.. he could have just been a masked hero- wanted by police and villain.. news channels ku interview koduthu nasser dialog pesinappa thaan kaduppayiruchu...
stunts were actually done well... ivlo hard work senji sila pala slipups .. adhaan disturbing

First of all, the movie doesn’t belong to superhero genre. Myskin has tried to do a commercial movie in his own style and suceeds to a larger extent. Bad reviews are only because no one expected a commercial movie from myskin. Everyone expected an out of the world movie from him .
There are lot of negatives. He didn’t get the screenplay right which is the weakest link in the second half. I expected lot of action towards climax but the movie seems to be ended up in a hurry. Everyone was talking “Mugamoodi” became TN’s superhero but there was not even a single scene to justify it. Some scenes are also cliched and not convincing. Even the so called twist looked cliched.
Hats off to Jilva for his dedication. He is simply amazing. Narein too done his part well but his screen space wont be more than for 30 minutes. Heroine looks beautiful but doesn’t have a meaty role to play. Naaser as usual is good but the final press conference is unintentionally funny.
I was entertained in parts but expected a lot from myskin. But still can’t understand what made the marketers to market it as a superhero movie on the likes of batman, spiderman etc.,

Find ur argument very silly......Of course height is a crucial factor for a super hero movie......
In fact people with wooden face can carry off a super hero role provided they have a good physique.....(assuming they will be wearing a mask for the most part)
I dont know y do have to be so cringy.... everyone knows Surya is a versatile actor.... But the fact is he is short ..... That does not take away anything from his acting capabilities....
And I can only laugh at your last statement ... people with no acting skills can of course continue to act (I assume u r taking a dig at vijay based on your posts so far)...... But such people will not be able to complete 50 movies ....
And now don't say that they can if they have a strong backing..... It cannot last for 50 movies.......
Just understand that Surya is an actor ....while Vijay/Ajith are stars.....

Movie Bluff,
Surya is short, (according to people taller than him), surya is tall (according to people who are shorter than him), these are all relative to one's perception in life! Since when a super hero is stereo typed as tall? Look at Salman Khan, He is not much taller than Surya, isn't he regarded as a super hero?
Amongst the new generation, I mean Under 40 odd years, Surya is by far the most versatile actor.

Salman is a superstar and not a super hero. There is difference between the two.
And I am movie buff and not movie bluff. ( Assuming that it was a typo and you did not want to mock at me)

saw the movie yesterday - i lost interest half way and stopped watching it. wife managed to watch the whole movie. she said that the movie didn't get any better afer i left.
its not the story line that put me off. it is a combination of highly irritating background music (non stop too loud)+ poor camera lighting + extremely slow pace of the movie (looooooooooooooooong shots).
myshkin 'dark' lighting style was slightly irritating but bearable in yudham sei - he has taken it to the next level in this. while cheran's voice is unique and recognisable even without video, jiiva's isn't (at least to me).
u cannot see what is going on in important scenes. to summarize, singidam sreenivasa rao created 'pesum padam', myshkin has created a 'paarkum padam'... totally unnecessary.
it is not a movie for everyone.

Yes of course. I probably wanted to say that it was too artificial. Athuvum considering Naraine's limitations as an actor, it was just too funny to watch on screen. and the lesser said about the heroine the better Originally Posted by jaiganes

meyura maadu (myself) was about to reach home by 5:15 pm yesterday.. nakkura maadu (my friend - housemate) called me & said.. "dei bore adikkudhu.. edhavadhu padathukku polamnu irukken.." [he is watching a film in theater for 3rd or 4th time in last 10 years or so].. me.. "sari nanum varren.. room ponalum vettiya browsing than pannittu iruppen".. went to the theater (walkable distance from our home) to check the show time & ticket availability.. just before booking we called the remaining house mate & he too happily joined us saying "myskin padam nalla irukkum"..
me @ tkt counter.. "back row - middle seat" .. that fellow told.. it is available.. i'm very happy
- cut here -
- back at theater -
i said to other 2.. reviews are not so good.. but i think myskin might have something for us to like & shared our thoughts about Anjadhe & Yudhdham sei
7:00 pm is show time.. entered the theater at 6:55 pm.. slightly confused to see no one was there.. in another 5 mins people started coming in & just by the start of the film we were around 10 ppl ready to watch MUGAMOODI
- i won't post anything about the story, even if there is something
- 2 padam nalla kuduthu oru branded director aana.. appuram endha kuppaiyai kuduthalum parkka makkal irukkanga engira ennam ella directorkum vandhurudhu.. idharkku myskin latest example..
- liked vaaya moodi summa iru da song
- heroine looks similar to Ileana
- nasser.. "north, west, south.. aduthu irukkuradhu east thaan" .. we were uncontrollable
- ultimate epic is Nasser when he asks mugamoodi to save TN
- in one scene they show selva hitting some wooden stand fastly.. myself.. "kung fu practice panraarama"
- selva, "unakku indha form eppadi theriyum".. & while teaching the last form to jeeva.. they stand somewhere at the top of a building ..
- at the end of the film.. my friend said, "girish karnard role ennanu therinjuduchu.. engineering pasangalukku final year project panni tharradhu" .. he has a lab set up & always involved in soldering & desoldering some components..
- 3rd friend.. "narain enda ippadi pombalai madhiri nadikkiran".. myself, "adutha varusam vijay tv'la best villain award vanguradhukku naa__ idea panniruchu.. performance kaattanumulla"
- in between these.. 3rd friend.. "inimel padathukku polamnu koopta.. unna konnuduven" .. 2nd one.. "indha padatha bruce lee'ku dedicate panranga.. avan uyiroda irundhanna seththe poyiruvan"

So many ROTFL moments. Not sure of Mysskin was making spoof or serious movie. Paavam senior artists.

After KO's success, Jiiva's choice of pilums is saddening. Which means NEPV will be hit then.

And I know the film has got bad reviews, so no need to point me to RJ Balaji, Bosskey and suchlike. I am not a keen follower of box office (and being based outside Chennai/TN is a handicap on top of it), but I specifically searched for BO reports for this film because I seriously doubted if everyone would have the sort of complaints some of the reviews I read online had w.r.t. the film not having much of the superhero film qualities and such. At least the initial reports suggested it is doing well...

How is this film seen as an low point or an average film or worse, 'unintentionally funny'? I went expecting the worst, only to be surprised with well knit plot without a knot more than it could tie/untie, and seamless mood shifts than most of his films. This is better than Chithram Pesuthadi, by far. Mysskin has also matured from poetic moments to finding poetry within, without having to consciously do it. You don't need the mechanically induced showering of flowers in slow-mo, but it is enough to have the scribbled, haunted walls of a long vacated house with a wall portrait (of a man, for no fault of his own, to have created this good/bad equilibria and ultimately the destruction it has caused) that will be lost in sands of time, as the camera fades out. Woman drinking with a melancholic gaze and a bunch of transgender women, none too 'high', the bar song sequence also prepares us that it's not going to exposit Politics, scribed on the wall. It is also enough to have the masks on the wall cast down and fill in for sadness.
Mysskin has this urchin kid pointing to the binned shadow thiefs. Lulled to the false poetry of the kid saving him, as in countless films, he proceeds to seek refuge. But only for this entire ordeal to progressively get worse. He's always in hiding. Only when obese fat, sloppy policemen couldn't chase down the athletic speedrunning shadow thiefs (all stunned in disbelief at how things go balls-up), he is prepared to run. It doesn't dawn on him to get involved earlier. Not all masked men need to be 'the people's hero straightaway. Of course, It is still not altruistic, and it is all rooted from personal conflicts. Perhaps in its sequel, the need to be altruistic might be established. Thankfully no Robin hood (yet).
The film's simplistic plot might be closely linked to its budget, but it is also down to realizing action on a scale of its utmost possible size. But in doing this, you do not see a routine genre exercise like Ra One or Krish that mimes the prevalent memes. Mugamoodi, M is cutting down the myth of superhero down to its barest. Here the need to be a superhero stems from amorous feeling and then one thing leads on to another, where it all fits in place, with people who HAD to be around him, go through events that he HAD to go through. It is through vanity that he turns to this. But there are three guiding masters. Each filling in for Mysskin: Action, Wisdom and makeover without seeming compartmentalized for its sake, but standing together as a unifying source without which he'd not exist, it is in this distinction that Mysskin elevates it far from being a 'batman, superman, spiderman, ironman' run down. This man is not a spiderman. He IS a man, but he'll (eventually) be made into Thamizh nattu hero(mocked than seen as a virtue). His superpowers owes to his masters, his singular martial art influence, but more pertinently, it is also the path through which he finds himself be a hero. In a way, this is no different from most of Mysskin's protagonists. But for the mask (and hence the title). It is the mask that we all cloak in, wanting to be loved. It is this impersonality on exterior that services the vanity of the man within the mask. If only he had gone for more grandier, extraordinary circumstance, would the accusation of this being a hackjob would be truer. The hero isn't thrown in to it by loss & amoral universe (one isn't even sure of this being one!)
I found it well-wound unlike TDKR, without going mushy ala Peter Parker/Spiderman/Mary Jane of Spiderman yore, and other truckload of nonsense. But why this need to compare and trample a well-meaning effort? Isn't the film itself eminently aware of this history. Isn't it very consciously nodding to its disadvantaged and limited universe. Isn't it consciously being apolitical and avoids sermonizing. More of a fable with quasi-realistic tones? Also, does stardust really believe the two way polarized master-student (and final death move) tantamount to a 'lift' from QT/KB (with Pai Mei)? That's laughable. This is part of many folklore, although Mysskin's own admittance points towads haiku. And this isn't really the end all, is it?
Mysskin stays off visual 'self-indulgences' that he is accused of, not that I ever seen it as 'self-', isn't he also his film's primary viewer? If it's all so indulgent, why then, every nuke and corner are geographically accessible to the viewer and the impact never a notch down? Even the one bit of action that happens off-screen isn't an indulgence or externalized poetry, as explained above, it's rather a poignant moment in itself and all self-contained for the characters involved in that very moment. It is evident that both these men are disturbed souls. Neither married. Both bifurcated, at dfferent poles. But both boys came through state-'correction'. The pacified one saw it as means to channel and curb the anger(but always seeming distant, socially recluse), while the other saw it as means to get something he's being 'prevented from', with manic obsession.
The worst thing one could say is that there's a compromise made between Mysskin's usual formalistic choices and the need to function wholly as action. Every movement is given its importance. Isn't every bit of hand movement, every bit of feet movement, well caught out and the audience never thrown out of it? There are no upside down showy gimmicks of RGV, perhaps one shot when one of the gunman shoots at the crane. The other shots are all in to the camera and then sufficiently panned out, we're both self-contained in subjected pov's and then in full access, forming a nice continuity and fluidity of motion. Mysskin kicks Nolan's ass in hand to hand combat and chasing sequences. One of the best terrace chase yet, more physical on screen and suggested with ease to audience. There's a shot in balance with the city as backdrop that was too much exposition for my liking. Neither is his gravity of the situation or his standing that great, in context of the city, at that point. This kind of foreshadowing however is part of comic/manga lore. And it's not out of place. But a tad off, for me personally.
Don't understand why K's music is equated to HJ's. Thought the heavy strings worked perfectly for suspensful sequences. At moments, the violin melancholy slightly ate away the grit and knit. And heavy arrangement works in an even world, but it's obvious that this evil reveals fully in the night (and here's where BR's Vampire-esque Narain very true, there's also a sequence where he has the whiff of blood before he unleashes with utmost prejudice), it needed to be little more sinister and this is where silence would have worked best. The main theme is good. But overall this kind of ornate BGM's are well within the norm. Zimmer patents this and most of the mainstream audience should be up for it.

Raghav,

VR,
I just brought up Nolan because of the overt convolutions at plot level (so different from Mugamoodi, which is stripped to barest) and his disappointing hand to hand combat(this one is better). Also somewhat discontinuous edits in key chase sequences. Perhaps I'm disserving Nolan here because grander the canvass, the gadgets, the budget, the lesser your control in everything falling in to a continuous action. Also perhaps emblematic performances in his films, the plot convolutions, catch phrases and so on, might be enriching and making up for disorienting action.

I really don't get it.. Nobody compared it to nolan's version's for the sake of it.. Some of the scenes were even blatantly lifted right? How do you explain narain's actions,mannerisms? . Ok agree Hand to hand combat was really good in *some* scenes. Sometimes it was more of a laugh worthy dragon ballz type jumping around. The first half is as cliched as it gets. Almost every scene you have seen it before. The dialogues how cheesy were they? and i don't know if this comes under "execution" but notice the supporting cast in the back or somewhere in mysskin's movies caricatures. And as HR pointed out the bgm was very very artificial and added to the fun in some places. Just because it was visually good and was "executed" well in some places doesn't mean it deserves praise. One expects more from mysskin.
IMO he is more like selva. Incomplete/has the potential that's it.

Narian's didn't even seem like Joker, enna solringa? MunnadiyE joker'E Tom waits + Beetlejuice'nu solliyaachu. But again, that doesn't diminish Ledger's achievement? In fact, I find Narain close to the Vampire comparison made by BR. Atha thaan solrEn.
Where was it dragon ballZ type jumping? And how was it executed like laugh worthy way? It was impactful. In fact, the film lays this in one of the opening kung fu contest itself. We're already in line with that coda, right? Also how it will be shot was also laid out.
Almost every scene, we have seen it before? Examples and how is this 1 to 1 mapping when it's ultimately about Mysskin's interpretation? I'm very keen to knowing how people say it's going to be a direct correlation even in straight lifts. I tend to react much more organically, beyond the surface similarities. Thasall.
Dialogues'la enna cheesiness'nu explain pannungalE. It is very obvious that Girish Karnad is going to stand in for wisdom. Cliched, but isn't this underlined with the kung fu master standing in for non-verbal, but equally important philosophy of martial arts, respect and discipline? The makeover man for necessity and need. No length lines and exposition.
Enna caricatures'nga?
Selva's the man of pastiche and uneasy mix, Mysskin does it far more seamlessly.

Hmmm for laugh worthy acting by the supporting cast. Take the scene where the heroine gets the file from the policemen i think it happens outside the hospital. Take a look at the policemen "discussing","being casual" at the back that scene goes around for 2 mins or something. And also when mugamoodi comes *Disappears* does a batman to the police headquarters or whatever it was. Nasser's interview to the public,Narain's evil plan/demands on tape. Ofcourse it happens in almost all the films. But it's highly visible in mysskin's movies.
What irks me is that the way he speaks around in functions like "nalla padam", "tamil naatuku nalla padangal thevai", "assistant director's comments",talking about top directors Etc. KAdisila ipdi oru padatha eduka vendiyadhu.

I did find it close to AnjaadhE in some ways. Hence why I said, the difference might be the Mask, and hence the title. It seems like Mysskin had to think of various other peripheral details that would realize the birth of Mugamoodi. The events seems to be foreshadowed by the Wise grandfather. Like he is the one 'in the know'. This man of wisdom is also an outsider, 'good for nothing' & eccentric in his son in law's eyes. He resides on the terrace. Sharing old age with another old man. One is never in job, trying to play around with his toys while the other puts it in to practice, stitching up/making stuff. Together they visualize and stitch up Mugamoodi. Association of oddities in Mysskin's world is often readily read as caricatures. But he's attempting something meta- and puts care in to it. And this association never feels contrived to me. It's done without prejudice, he cares about these characters.
Similarly, Naazar has been there and failed constantly. He's not Gordon at all. He never identifies with Mugamoodi, other than to get the case closed. Here again, it's the failed disciple (named Badri) in parallel. But beyond that, I believe he loves his child. Also it's usually going to be the good cop's child or the hot girl friend who is at danger, but here again, you have truckload of parallels to comic lore. Then a school bus of children like a Dirty Harry film. Creating suspense this way, together with hijacking of the coastal guard (which makes for some of the best panned out aerial exterior shots for some time). Now isn't this again a generic one, not 1 to 1?
Narain again is a man who never sleeps. He practices in the morning, operates at night. His widening eyes bulging out. This is where the ageless vampire is more appropriate than Joker. Now this is an oddly affected mind with manic obsession. Again, if this is a caricature, which superhero nemesis isn't! Whether it could be better. It could always be.
Oddly enough, none in INOX laughed at unintentional places. They laughed at appropriate places.

Honest, I read your post before watching the film. It was funny to read your experience.
But when I'm in that world, unless the film seems uninviting and displeasing by itself, I'm not thrown out of experience.
Aadukalam begins with a history of cock fighting, Indian has the montage to establish the marma kalai, almost for sake of plausibles.
This however attempts to reveal it through out and it managed to consistently be in the world confident in its established world, without trying to make it deadpan realistic and plausible.

Danke Joe, Jai, and (a)Jay.
Jai,
It's not for want of trying, I try to post for recent releases. And if the reviewing is worth it (for myself, first and foremost)
Re.Kick-Ass Little girl in school skirts unleashing violent carnage sort of turned me off and disturbed me.. It's fast becoming a dangerous meme. Young gals getting at bald men, oru madhiri fantasy-pedophilia revenge uneasiness. So kind of avoid engagement with it. Although there are other things that I might have some consideration for in films like Kick Ass/Sucker Punch/Hanna: Vaughan captures the imagination of being superhero, thirst of violence behind coolness, Sucker Punch for game narrative (think Compli wrote a review in IE on these lines) with oppressed/oppressor pov shifts (though turns in to a point of fetish after a point), finally, Hanna for some of the audaciously shot set-pieces, in particular the extravagant showmanship in subway sequence and Cate Blanchett's garish performance that works around the transgender allusions with which he's depicted.

Never a fan of the superhero genre/club. More than the movies, i have a problem with the superhero psychology/character analysis given by viewers, reviewers or the makers themselves. I didn't see such issues with this
Some thoughts:
- It was kind of tedious till the superhero conflict (mixup). glad that the cause was a no-nonsense, personal cause
- The evil guy character was not written at all. Narein's performance didn't help at all. This is the main (only?) unintentional LOL aspect of this film
- to read someone here post "all the scenes are familiar", as in literally posting a :Scene 1, familiar?, Scene 2 familiar? and a LOL2 after that. Really? Felt happy 'discovering' all this? unravelling the puzzle?Seriously baffling to see the reasoning behind this. What was one expecting here? Maybe Mysskin should have posted a screaming disclaimer. And put a 'credit list' like Vetrimaaran in the title cards?
- Action sequences
- MUSIC. Riveting, pulsating BGM. Fantastic (unconditional-a solren). I've said this before, this guy is the next big thing. Raaja BGethukkapparam (apart from Yuvan in a few films) indha payyan BGM dhaan naan remba enjoy pannadhu.

Well putMysskin has this urchin kid pointing to the binned shadow thiefs. Lulled to the false poetry of the kid saving him, as in countless films, he proceeds to seek refuge. But only for this entire ordeal to progressively get worse. He's always in hiding. Only when obese fat, sloppy policemen couldn't chase down the athletic speedrunning shadow thiefs (all stunned in disbelief at how things go balls-up), he is prepared to run. It doesn't dawn on him to get involved earlier. Not all masked men need to be 'the people's hero straightaway. Of course, It is still not altruistic, and it is all rooted from personal conflicts.
Exactly!Isn't the film itself eminently aware of this history. Isn't it very consciously nodding to its disadvantaged and limited universe. Isn't it consciously being apolitical and avoids sermonizing. More of a fable with quasi-realistic tones? Also, does stardust really believe the two way polarized master-student (and final death move) tantamount to a 'lift' from QT/KB (with Pai Mei)? That's laughable. This is part of many folklore, although Mysskin's own admittance points towads haiku. And this isn't really the end all, is it?

Mugamoodi - Me gusta
One of the worst thing you can do before watching a movie is reading the reviews about the movie. Having read many reviews in here, my expectations were low. There are some minuses here and there but overall its a watchable movie IMO.
Its not the story itself that is impressing in the movie, but the narration, camera, editing, long screen shots. The police plays a crucial part like in Anjathey, Yudham Sei. Jeeva provides some comedy esp when he gets slapped by heroine and after she spits on road mocking him. Jeeva have been well focussed on doing stunts, kudos to the stunt master its a treat to watch good fights. As usual heroine has no scope, athough she looks pretty. Some one wrote she needed a mask... why? Actor selva did commendable job too, I mistook him for being Thiyagarajan.
THE BGM was good too in many places, but there should have been less music. In S.A Rajkumar movies the lalalala part is played 100 of times. In this movie they say vaayai moodi summa iru/vaayai moodu a lot ..to remind u of the song.
Myskin doesnt need to change his style of making movies to satisfy every one. He made a hero oriented movie in a different way than most would have done in Kollywood.

Mugamoodi is definitely watchable and for sure it's the best superhero film produced in our country. If you compare it with Nolan's trilogy, then you will be disappointed. But Mysskin clearly stated before the movie release - not to come with over expectation. If you still do, then it's not his fault. For the given budget and resources, he has done his best.

Good review k-g!Completely agree. Engrossing is the word. And I would also argue the treatment here is very much in line with Mysskin's formal choices, just that he hasn't done proper action stuff like this before. And I loved the gunman shot inserts (a couple of them or just one?) too, btw. Not at all a keen follower of comics, but isn't that a by-the-book film equivalent of the single "boom boom bam bam" image (that's disorienting and usually with a slanted angle) that generally appear in many comic strips? Really liked both the action set pieces: the cross-building terrace chase and the harbour/ship rescue segment (the style harks back to Mysskin's penchant for evoking a maze-like feel in his climaxes).

The one in the stairway sequences in hospital are all classic comic strips. Storyboard fluently brought out.
And I'm staggered by the way with this action isn't processed here. This is high level engrossing from the prologue.
Even the final confrontation with Narain is no lesser to my mind than Bane vs Batman or any of the fights in The Raid: Redemption

Yes, really liked the hospital segment too (meant to include it in the previous post). This is at the end of the day a simple film well done. Nothing more, nothing less. Mysskin's style, the action sequences and the score make the film. But personally, I quite liked/didn't mind some of the nods at (I mean, where the film simply tries to be) standard Tamil cinema fare too. Jobless young man falls in love with the commissioner's daughter, little geththu moments like the build-up the supportive friend gives when the hero is getting ready, some funny scenes (laughed out loud when one of the guys thrashed by the hero looks from within the wooden box/rubble he's thrown into), friends' group song, etc. Heck, Mysskin makes even the Alps mountain song (which again liberally borrows from standard Tamil film song choreography archives in a nice way) palatable with some nice static shots that give a sense of quietude and charm, even though basically it's totally cut off from the rest of the film.
For a film that has an eye on children, it could have certainly been more joyous and less stiff though. That'd be a valid criticism I suppose.

So you agree, not disagree.

Mysskin's, while not a masterpiece (he still hasn't made one!), is still quite good.

Btw, re. The Raid, is the momentary pauses that sets-up the explosive follow-up. Here's where I see a Luc Besson-esque treatment of Tony Jaa-like (I say 'like', I'm aware this is different type of Martial Arts) combats.

Once you're thrown in to this mode, with prologue and the martial arts tournament, you're already within that universe and you're able to process the fight sequences with the set pattern. OTOH, Cheran's Samurai Jack routine in YS didn't belong there. Choreographed well, but just didn't fit seamlessly there.

You can't make a good film with bad writing - evidence number 10,231.
Fights were good. That's about the only thing that is passable about this disaster. But even they need to embedded into something sensible, else it becomes tedious. It was an effort to remain interested in the end and all.

watched it.
unlike other superheroes Mugamoodi is not a person who has a broad vision to save the city/state/country..it is vengeance that drives to him to get under the mask..every happening has him related to it one way or the other..this was really striking...K's bgm(especially in the chase scene) is superb..loved the fights..the market fight was riveting..
bruce lee is not the underdog becoming a superhero..the costumes and gimmicks just help him..he is the same man before and after becoming Mungamoodi..
the climax was a let down..the old guys cheating the thiefs were a kind of mockery to the build up Mysskin gave them in the first half,may be it was to thrill the kids..i dunno..and i expected a big showdown between Narein and Jiiva at the end..may be Mysskin could have cut down on the number of one on one fights earlier and had one at the end..in the second half i felt like the finding of the gang and the black sheep in the cops and all were too convenient and obvious..could have been more interesting leading to the climax...Narein's joker act was out of the place..i mean why does he act like that?..he could have been normal and still be menacing..
otherwise it has vintage Mysskin shots and the dark humour which is enjoyable..
comparing this to a 250mn$ film is a joke..like Ajay said..compare it with Ra.one and Kriss(budgets and stars were much higher than M)..

1 week after release, Mugamoodi was replaced by Paagan and other less popular releases. In one single screen, it was replaced by a C-grade Sriman starrer 'Arakkonam'. Now 2 weeks after release, it is lifted from almost all single screens. UTV must have lost a lot.

Oh yea! Naan was a lot better to watch. Actually quite good and refreshing from the monotony of usual heroics. One has to be told and reminded of Talented Mr Ripley, to mentally compare that Naan was some kind of an adaptation. Originally Posted by PARAMASHIVAN

Too much of cliched handling of scenes, like always maintaining an "eerie" aura around scenes that are shown to happen at nights, Showing someone running from afar in the same cliched Run and Panting mode, Tasmac bar pAttu scenes (ayyO)...
As P_R said, i liked 1 or 2 fight sequences in the film and could have done better with this story. Myshkin couldnt decide if he wanted to make a children's movie or some "karuththu" movie like the Dark Knight.
Athai modhalla mudivu senjuttu padam eduthirukanum. And he seriously lacks the "rising up to the situation" kind of augmenting his "Vision" - for this kind of Superman movies...
And hated his characterisation gimmicks - of casting Girish Karnad like Michael Caine and that Karuppu thAthA like Morgan freeman was very amateurish to say the least ...and they were sending out Bubbles in the climax scene to distract the Villain's henchmen at the Ship Yard!
Good opportunity wasted by Myshkin. And you better not cast a mokkai figure and give so much build-ups to show her on screen. Mind it!

And Girish Karnad does choose some real stinkers to act in. Except 'Hey Ram' just look at all other Tamil movies he has been in Chellame, Ratchagan , Kadhalan... enna viLayAttu idhu??

I am thinking - he plays that person in Anjadhey, who gets beaten up by that SI for a thiruttu case (apparently a fall guy) ??? Originally Posted by P_R

Girish Karnad's only respectful outings in thamizh are with Kamal as that doctor in Guna?, Hey Ram
