Mura

Notes: 1. Hridhu Haroon is truly a promising talent. He has a decent screen presence in the action and emotional scenes.

2. The other boys are also good in their respective roles. However, their bonding could've been written and established more strongly for greater emotional payoffs in the latter half.

3. Christy Joby's music (both songs & score) keeps the goings-on interesting.

4. The second half loses some steam, but the action blocks remain consistently solid. Chaman Chakko assembles them with raw finesse.

5. A cast-against-type Maala Parvathi makes for a worthwhile antagonist.

6. Suraaj easily makes for a believable Trivandrum-based gangster with a formidable past-something Prithviraj struggled with delivering in Kaapa.

7. The climax feels slightly abrupt, though the message (those who live by the sword die by it) is loud and clear.

Mura is a gripping gangster drama brimming with revenge, high-octane action, and intense bloodshed. The story revolves around a meticulously planned heist that spirals into unforeseen chaos. The film stands out for its brilliant performances by four newcomers, who bring unrestrained energy to their roles as street-smart, impulsive, and hot-headed characters. Their dynamic presence, especially in the action sequences, adds a raw authenticity to the narrative.

The screenplay is tightly woven, maintaining a brisk pace that keeps viewers hooked without a moment of lag. Mustafa Mohammed's direction shines, delivering a story that's as engaging as it is intense. For those who can overcome the language barrier, Mura promises an exhilarating cinematic experience. A highly recommended watch for the weekend!

It's a total action film. Still not that good action choreography. It would have been a lot better if the action choreography was a bit better. Still a good watch. Suraj ettan just loved his role. He was pure swag in the film. The film is mainly driven by a friendship between four boys who were doing some activities with the local goons. The protagonists of the film are not good. They were also doing bad activities and the movie hasn't justified there activity as well. As I have already mentioned, the only thing that drives the movie is their friendship. Doesn't have brilliant story line but actors have done a great job. Especially the guys who have potrayed the four friends have done a brilliant work in their debut itself.

Overall it was a decent watch.

A story about the underdogs and emerging goons/gangsters conveyed through a realistic narrative.

The story revolves around 4 closely knitted college dropout boys who aims to join the notorious gangster group of Trivandrum and the menace they come across their journey forms the crux of the story.

Musthafa has kept his bars high by proving his mettle again as a filmmaker and satisfied the viewers expectations by giving a good movie. Strong writing by Suresh Babu keeps the audience engrossed to the screen. The movie portrays raw emotions, bloodshed, violence, revenge,betrayal and true friendship and brotherhood through intricate moments. The storyline reminds of a phrase in the new testament of the Holy Bible from the gospel of Matthew "One who lives by sword shall die by sword".

Brilliant performance by Maala Parvathi in a never before seen avatar added with subtle performance by Suraj and poignant raw performances from Hridhu Haroon. Impressive performances by Jobin Das,Yedhukrishnan,Anujith,Krish Hassan,Vigneshwar Suresh,Kannan Nayar & Thenappan.

Special appreciation to the technicians behind the screen specially the DOP Fazil Nazer & the editor Chaman Chakko for their efforts in culminating an engaging movie.

Mura is definitely a worth watching flick on big screens for an engaging and satisfying experience.

Rating - 3.75/5.

Four friends Ridhu, Jobin, Anujith, and Yedhru who are involved in petty crimes. These four friends cannot live without each other. They can even give their lives for each other. They do not have much purpose in life. But one day their lives take a turn when they meet their elder brother Ani and leader Ramadevi and agree to rob them. But while they are robbing this money, they face trouble. From which they cannot easily get out.

It is not good to be too greedy. Greed leads to death. The bad consequences of being greedy are presented very well in this movie, for which the director, writer, and all the actors of this movie deserve praise.

Suraj Venjarmudur's performance is truly praiseworthy. His presence has added a new dimension to the movie. The young actors have performed exceptionally. However, some parts of the movie could have been improved. Especially Mala Parvati's character. I think the movie would have been more enjoyable if her past history and how she became Ramadevi had been presented in depth. But we don't know her past.

Those who like friendship movies you should definitely watch it.
