Moodar Koodam

after "Aaranya Kandam", this one is brilliant try at making offbeat films in Tamil cinema. director's work is really commendable and he is one among many who needs to be encouraged. though the film might seem to be inspired from "city of god" and Guy Ritchie's film "the lock stock and two smoking barrels", the director hasn't flopped ultimately in showcasing a quality film. the has been many instances of failure in making a film by getting inspired from Hollywood movies, but this one is surely an exception.those who haven't seen the above mentioned films will really find it fresh.everyone who has the intent to encourage quality films and who don't believe in the success of mass hero's commercial films(which is an absolute waste of time from my perspective) , please watch it!! its only for you guys..

One of the best dialogues in Tamil Cinema.

Each character's back story are portrayed through songs. Politics, communism, racism, status and what not. This movie has everything.

When that kid says 'this was the first time someone trusted me, so I will have to uphold the trust no matter what' - this single scene is enough to explain about the education system and parent's mentality in Tamil Nadu.

JP acted in this movie without any ego. Everyone's acting is so on point to the character. But that character depth itself has become a disadvantage in some scenes. Little slow pace and less interesting events are the only negatives. Auto guy's character and his goons occupy the movie for 10-15 mons in between which is absolutely not needed and adds no value in the movie.

Long way to go for Naveen brother. His acting, dialog delivery everything is perfect. If you want to watch a movie which gives you a deep thought on how broken our society is, then go for it.

I was into the movie without much expectations but voilà! This is indeed a different and excellent attempt in Tamizh Cinema. Movies like this actually rise the standards of cinema to another level. The Characters and their detailing is what I liked the most. You don't see this often in Indian cinema where one character appears suddenly and vanishes.

Director Naveen must be appreciated for his sharp dialogs and the way he delivered those dialogs is simply very realistic showing the urge and need of the low class people.

Centraayan character is the trump-card here as it adds the much needed laughout-humor content into this movie. Watch out for that. The lighting effect for the whole movie was handled for the black comedy essence which was a great success, kudos to cinematographer.

A must watch fun-filled ride which is a serious one actually!

Kollywood marches to unconventional movie making these days. Must say that was quite impressed to view a movie so good taken in a limited budget. On one end, there are movies filled with number of songs, foreign locations, expensive sets, big stars, glamorous women and techies but terribly fails in script and screenplay. The director of the movie, a newbie, has given the audience a movie in 'almost' a single location (a house). It reminds me of the Tarantino's style in Reservoir Dogs. I strongly recommend the audience to watch this movie at least once but PARENTAL GUIDANCE is strongly recommended if children watch the director's cut like me which I would recommend. One tiny-teeny demerit in this movie is about the director's character which falls behind certain scenes, I feel. Watch out for goofy 'Sendraayan' and the little girl's character, she's cute as hell.

I watched Moodar Koodam recently, expecting it to be another normal attempt to make a different cult black comedy in Tamil cinema. I was proved wrong as the movie developed at it's own pace. Director Naveen has not just directed his debut with extreme hard work, but also with a great ambition to instill awareness in the mainstream audience. I found many reviews criticizing this film's loose script and almost fell for that trap. After watching this film, I was once again proved that Kollywood critics and reviewers aren't reliable at all. This film shouldn't be missed at all costs, miss it at your own risk. The philosophies in this film are perfectly fitted into the specified scenes. Yet again, this is another film which cannot be enjoyed and liked by everyone. If you're looking for a change in your daily mainstream taste of films, this is the film to begin with.
