Marudhamalai-A Quick Review

Well after a long time I saw a movie by "Action King" Arjun in the big screen, the last being , Mudhalvan ( in 1999). But Arjun seems to be still fit & raring to go & is tailor made for this role.Nothing much about the story-Arjun plays a law graduate who joins the police due to his dad (Nasser) who is a police constable.

So our hero joins as a constable & the head constable there happens to be Vadivelu.The heroine Nila happens to be a neighbour of the hero & daughter of the inspector.So the first half is mainly fun filled with Vadivel having a meaty part.The villain is Lal who prevents elections in that town & this time Raghuvaran the chief election commissioner is prepared to defy Lal & conduct elections.

So during the elections, in a freak encounter Arjun clashes with Lal & puts him behind bars.The 2nd half sees Arjun now as an Inspector & his game for supremacy with Lal.You know how the movie will end right?If Kireedam was for the classes, Marudhamalai is for the masses.Nila has nothing much to do.D.Imman's music is a big bore.In the end its basically Arjun & Vadivel ( to some extent) who salvage the movie.Nevertheless this is a winner at the Box Office.

Rating-2/5
