      Muran - A rare and brilliant Tamil attempt

      A musician took a lift from a businessman on a highway and they are heading to the same destination.they share their own lives and the problem they had.the businessman comes up with a deal to solve each others problem but things going out of musician's way and how he comes over the businessman is the story... It may be a loosely based on an English movie but who care its one of the rare attempts in Tamil.The movie is well taken and actors did their job...you may find the movie bore at some stages and the story should have been concentrated well. The traveling sequences and the murder plans are good Overall its a good one...you will neither enjoy nor hate it....

      Sheer brilliance

      A top notch movie that leaves you awe struck about the way its made. A new dimension to Tamil cinema. After reading many good reviews about this movie, I watched it finally. I must thank all the reviewers! Fantastic performances by all the leads. Cheran in a never before seen role and get-up makes his character all the more interesting. And Prasanna has scored his part so well in a negative shade after Anjadhey. He is a fantastic actor who has delivered an amazing performance in this movie as well.

      Debutante director Rajan Madhav has done an excellent job. Though he claimed this movie to be inspired from Strangers on a train, it doesn't carry a single scene that could give us the taste of the original. A brilliant movie for all the movie lovers.

      A good thriller after quite some time. This will not disappoint you

      Muran--> a good thriller after a long time..First credits to Rajjan who has shown good deal of maturity in his debut movie as a director. Prasanna has played his role extremely well, standing out from his usual lover boy, boy next door roles. His looks are too eye catchy and he sure hasn't disappointed his female fans ;) The AUDI that runs on the Bangalore highway is AWESOME..Cheran has proved he is not only good at narrating autobiography but he can also think and execute smart plans.Songs don't fit in anywhere so Sajjan has to wait for his break.Though the story starts off around the Lavanya character played by Haripriya, poor girl she is left hanging in the middle post climax.

      Ice Cream Factors: *Prasanna's stylish Looks *Neatly maintained pace *Good story Line

      Lemon Factors : *Songs in unnecessary place *Little predictable climax.

      In Short MURAN--> not disappointing at all...Sure this would open new doors for Prasanna..Good work Rajjan & the entire team..U deserve a round of applause!

      About Muran

      Movie is good... This different angle of thriller movie in Tamil industry...some of the scenes are enjoyable and good..Prasanna acting is damn good in the movie... This is kind of movies is really good effort..

      Madhav has shown a nice little directorial touch, as it were, during the beginning and climax of the movie. Despite not being an original thriller, Muran will catch your fancy during its running time. It's well made and neatly acted out by its lead actors. If you are a purist, rather than bickering about the lack of originality, just appreciate the fact that Hitchcock remains an eternal source of inspiration for our directors. You'll be fine!

      Must watch movie in Theaters.

      Copy of Strangers on a train

      This was the alfred hitchcock. So no new about the story. But the casting was little good choice.
