Miruthan

It is Not Good as Hollywood Zombie Thrillers. But You can Watch it For it's Experiment.

I watched it in Kannada Dubbed Version, Dubbing is Good. Short Duration So It is Crisp. Story is Not so Good.

Zombie Reddy is So Much Better Than This.

Gave 6/10 For Experimenting Zombie Thriller Genre in South India.

The concept of Zombies is not new for Hollywood where there are enormous number of movies based on Zombies in fact we can find thriller, horror, Sci-fi and even comedy based on the same concept. Strictly in an Indian context I suppose we don't even have the direct translation of the word Zombie in Hindi or Tamil. So I wouldn't say this is first of its kind movie in India because few years back we had a movie named Go Goa gone starring Saif Ali khan based on zombies' attack. With that note I don't have to say further Miruthan is undoubtedly a zombie flick. So kudos to the director Shakthi Soudar rajan for experimenting this genre which is entirely new for Tamil audience. Long story short the hero tries to save a group of doctors who will find the antidote for a virus spread among the town which makes people go violent and crazy blood thirsty animals. Jayam Ravi who had a wonderful 2015 with four releases out of which three hits opens his account for this year with this different movie. He is the protagonist who plays a Traffic sergeant has done a pretty decent justice to the role. Lakshmi Menon as the Doctor and love interest of the hero. Her characterisation suffers credibility and reality. We see her dumb at times and unrealistic as well. Supported by ensemble TV artists. Technically the movie has got above average graphics and cinematography. But the BGM lets down on a bigger note turning the serious scenes to a comic note. Overall the movie lacks clarity on whether the director had tried it as a horror- comedy or stand-alone comedy or horror thriller flick. We come out confused. It can be a definite once watch for the new concept and experimentation on a Zombie genre. Despite the logic flaws for making it an entertainer my rating would be 6.5/10. -Sivakumar Balachandran

I am fan of good movies. Miruthan is really excellent effort from crew in Tamil/India for first time. Experiment really worked well.

I have seem many Zombie movies but it always starts with collapsed city. This movie as initiative, he explains the origin and slowly raising the accelerator. Slapstick comedies worked most of the places. Congrats to Make up technicians, done a wonderful job.

So our hero Jayam Ravi did a wonderful job, hat-trick hit. He looks handsome, actions scenes are really good.

One of the must watch movies who look for different movies.

My verdict is Super HITTT!

Those who haven't watched a zombie movie yet, this one is for you.

Miruthan may be just another zombie movie for those who watched many zombie blockbusters like World War Z, Zombieland and I am Legend but this one has to be appreciated for making such a brave attempt.

This one is not a technically sound movie. But Tamizh cinema grows because of movies like this one.

Thanks to Shakthi Soundar Rajan for introducing the zombie genre in South Indian Cinema Industry.

Don't see much logic in this movie and just enjoy the thriller killer movie!

After reading some positive reviews I started to watch Miruthan. The movie was going really well in the 1st half, it was entertaining. And then the 2nd half came, and the movie started to deteriorate. The climax totally killed the film.

The movie is full of loopholes. A weak point of zombies has been shown here but the characters didn't use it a single time except in the climax. Comedic dialogues worked very well but the romantic portion was so bad and useless. But, overall it was a good attempt Finally, the movie is watchable but I'll not recommend it to anyone.
