If you got nothing to do and you are counting sheep then you can watch this movie just to see how bad it is.
This is a total waste of money production . Looks like this whole project was made just to make this producer happy. Sometimes during our meeting with friends, many guys may say, 'you should try acting'.' You are really good in it'. But doesn't mean you must really make a movie to prove that.
The sad thing is, many (esp directors, actors, actress) may even say good things about this movie just to please him. Many may even tell him that he acted so well, that he should do it more often. Get real, buddy.
Let me put it in plain english just like simon (american idol) use to say, U. Stalin - you can't act; period! First and foremost, with due respect Udhayanidhi Stalin should stick to producing movie only. He is good in that field.
I don't going evenadd any movie scene in my blog because it is not worth downloading and seeing it. I am not even going to rate it. Watch at your own risk!
After Ghilli, this is the next vijay's movie i watched. Even though his acting was way below ordinary in the his previous movies which brought his career to stand still for the last 1 year; in Valayutham, the storyline, lyrics and the cinematography have brought some good acting in him. Especially, at certain crucial climax scenes. If you are a vijay fan, you will extremely happy to see him rejuvenated. If you are another Tamil movie fan like me, good movie to watch for its comedy and storyline. Vijay did a splendid acting for about 30mins. The rest must be given to credits to the supporting actors esp Santhanam.
The heroine role not well developed, i am dissapointed by Hansika's acting. Her dancing moves look fake; may need some lessons if she wants to excel in Tamil movie scenes. You can't dance without having a flair for south indian folk songs and good hip movements when you are doing a local tamil dance rhythm.
I think M. Raja did the action scenes well. Something new for Tamil movie. I think he should explore with other heros. Overall, good movie to watch. My rating 3 star
Usually I wait for someone to tell me which Tamil movie to watch. If the reviews from my peers are good, then i will go and watch it. But Moonu was well hyped by its song 'Kolaveri', months before its release. Even my sons were singing it. I did not like it, being a father; who wants his sons to sing Kolaveri in public when i take them for shopping.
Much waited movie from Dhanush. Must say, i was one of those who wrote off of both dhanush and shruti, after their initial movie few years ago. Over the last 3-4 movies, Dhanush have matured into the big scene. I feel he even over tooked some of the big timers like Vijay, Simbu, Arjun and etc in terms of versatility, facial expression and his capability to bring out his characters well in the movie. He did very well in his previous movie Mayakam Enna. I enjoyed it as much as Moonu. It will a close call for which is better. Even though, the ending was a bit off beat in Mayakam enna, Moonu took the ending scene like Quentin Tarantino, Alfred Hitchcock, Christopher Nolan etc kind of movies. Many tamil movie lovers might not like this ending but..i loved it. Disturbing... but something new for a change in the Tamil movie scene.
Well, must say that it has been long seen any recent heros did a sad scene well. Recently, many heros can't do or don't do sad scenes as well as the old timers like my all time favourite Kamalhassan. In Moonu, Dhanush and Shruti have shown its in their blood. In Mayakam enna, Richa did a excellent act, in fact she surprised me; one of the best during the scene when she came back from hospital; she cleaned the blood stain and without saying a word she her facial expression and hands were superb....i watched it few times; (may be i will write about it in another post)
In Moonu, Dhanush and Shruti have shown how well they can do some of the scenes which look technically difficult with camera so close to your face. As for Shruti, she proved herself worthy of being a superstar actress. I am waiting for her next movie. She stands for herself, even though she got her father eyes; she does act her heart out. See the scene at the end of this song clip beside (above); you may have tears coming out. Now, i will add Dhanush into my all time favourite Tamil movie hero list. Of course, the list is not long. I will post in my next article on Tamil Hero list.
Ok, folks. Guess, i am done with Moonu. Kolaveri is much better seen with the dance in the movie. Credits to the director, Aisywarya for the great work. Good directors makes good movies. Well done...
My rating. 5 stars
