Mersal

I watched "Mersal" yesterday. I was very hyped after watching teaser but after seeing the movie I was disappointed. I thought movie will be different but it was a routine revenge film. I loved Vijay's and Atlee's previous collaboration "Theri" it had very strong emotional scenes and it was a good movie. But Mersal was a 2.49 hour mess.

What I liked :-

1. Filming locations. 2. Actress Samantha and VJ off course. 3. Aalaporan Thamizhan song.

What I disliked :-

1. Its length. 2. Routine story !! shown in a different way.

Just masss . Vijay proves everytime why he is the top star of TN.

wow just wow .. even though the story is predictable the presentation of the movie is marvelous. the whole movie is carried out till the end by Vijay. and all the other cast members done their job very well. now DOP i heard its an Debutant but the scenes gave visual treat.Asusual Rahman sir never lets us down. i can see Hardwork and dedication of Atlee and Vijay at their best.i felt that this is the best movie of Vijay's career.

I went in for the USA Premiere Show (FDFS) For The Much-Awaited Action Entertainer MERSAL. Oh god, the crowd was unbelievable! Everyone was set for a Diwali Treat:)

Firstly, the screen presence of THALAPATHY VIJAY, was absolutely amazing, for sure Vijay steals the show right from the title-card to the ending of the movie.

His Triple Role : Farmer, Doctor, Magician were all new get ups for Vijay and has he done well with these characters? 100% YES! Right From The "Mersal Arasan" To The Flashback Sequences Of The Leader Farmer, Thalapathy excels!

As Usual, he excels in his romance, dance, comedy and attitudes throughout the film which keep the audience entertained in each way.

The Story by Baahubali Writer "Vijayendra Prasad" was quite different even though it had some elements of an action Marsala film but Atlee's direction of the film keep it unique.

AR Rahman's BGM is merattal masss! He proves his Oscar winning award in Mersal, songs such as Aalaporaan Thamizhan and Neethanae bring out the audience a real taste of Mersal!

SJ Surya as a villain plays his role neatly (look out for his dialogues/scenes in the second half) a perfect suit for the movie - Stylish.

Also, actors such as Vadivelu and Sathyaraj stand out not just for their comedy but for their highly rated emotional scenes which Atlee narrates well. Vadivelu fanatics will leave the cinema with smiles on their faces:)

Heroines play their role superbly in each of Vijays Characters and so do other actors such as Sathyan, Kovai Sarala, Vikram Vedha's "Cheta" etc.

GK Vishnu has fantastic cinematography for a debut, thanks to Atlee for giving him an opportunity to see how perfectly he can do his job! Visuals in Aalaporaan Thamizhan and Many of the magician scenes excel, thalapathy is captured spot on!

Ruben the editor has done his job well, with neat cuts and editing to keep the movie at a smooth pace.

What can I say, a pure Thalapathy Vijay entertainer with high emotional/ mass scenes which will impress the audience of all type. A film for thamizhans to enjoy, so worth the wait? TOTALLY YES, go grab your tickets and have a great Diwali ahead!

9/10

Have to say that, this is possibly one of the greatest Vijay's movie, I have ever watched. Great performance by Vijay! I love the Magic he creates and his new Murrukku Meesai. Atlee never fails to entertain, whether it is Theri or Mersal. He is the next Shankar. G.K.Vishnu cinematography is top standard. Can't believe it's his 1st movie! Music and BGM were awesome. Love the experimentation which A.R.Rahman created. Nithya Menon and S.J.Suryah gave solid performance. Vadivelu comedy made us laugh and was great to see the Vijay-Vadivelu combo. Samantha, Kajal and Sathyaraj had small roles but were quite important in parts. Ruben gives perfect editing cuts. I appreciate the whole team for the excellent effort they have put in. Overall, a well crafted entertaining movie by Atlee which is boosted by Vijay's screen presence.
