Monster

A light and easy-going movie. The cinematic, storyline are well put. The casts can act well too. Recommended and suitable to watch with the whole family

This is a movie made on a relatively simple premise - the travails of the protagonist and a mouse that haunts his home.

But, director Nelson Venkatesan has woven a nifty narrative around this simple construct that is generously suffused with healthy humour. The movie also has a strong message of harmonious coexistence without being preachy.

SJ Surya is spot on with his part as a soft-spoken vulnerable protagonist in a measured performance that is a far cry from his usual exaggerated antics. He is ably supported by Karunakaran who is sharp with his comic timing and the beautiful Priya Bhavani Shankar who does competent job on her part.

The background score as well as songs from Justin Prabhakaran accentuate the flow of the proceedings. Director Nelson deserves credit for brisk narrative that seamlessly blends with breezy inoffensive comedy and technical finesse. If one could overlook some minor niggles, this sophomore (Oru Naal Koothu was his debut) effort heralds him as a talent to look forward to.

Overall, Monster is the latest addition to that critically endangered genre called wholesome healthy entertainer that could be enjoyed by the entire family.

A HIDDEN GEM !!

RATING -3.5/5

PS - Monster is available on Amazon Prime Video.

From the beginning to end, the film was kinda peaceful. It went in a smooth flow.

Plot was simple yet nice and well written. This is the first time, I can see the potential of S.J.Suriya coming out. His portions with the mouse were hilarious.

Heroine Priya bhavani Shankar is too damn cute, I can't take my eyes off her. She has done her part so gracefully.

Karanakaran as the comedian, maybe, is the only hope for Tamil cinema. He can pull out comedy so easily without shaming others or so, the laugh from him is genuinely laughable.

The main highlight of the film, the mouse. Cgi was so neat, it didn't seemed to be Cgi. So well done and applausabe.

Songs and background score were ok, did it's job when needed.

Climax was so good, made me satisfied, restored my faith in humanity.

Good movie.

I chased lot of mouse in my life and sent them way from home. Simple story but great message. Must watch.

SJ Surya done great job. The camera work is awesome. Is that a trained mouse? we saw lot of Rat chasing movies, but this is unique. Music and BGM should have done more.

Mouse are always intelligent.

Usually Actor Sj Suriya is known for frequently playing gritty,broken and villainous characters.mostly he distance from doing hopeful and goodhearted guy kind of roles.

But here sj Suriya is something we never seen before his Character (Anjanam Azhagiya Pillai) is so relatable and Inspiring..

Plot is simple a Battle between Man and house rat.which sound's pretty Cartoony but Director Did fine job in writing screenplay that suitable for Even Adult audience to something care about...

Thanks to producers for making this film without preaching any whatsapp forward messages in this film and actress priya bhavani shanker Is so damn gorgeou.I rate 1 extra star just for her screen presence...
