Miruthan: Rise of the zombie action genre in India!
29 April 2018
MIRUTHAN happens to be the first Indian zombie action movie in the Tamil language. I watched in Hindi last night since I couldn't find the Tamil version with subtitles. By the end, I was quite enthralled and entertained: and that's what the film intended to do!

It's a film full of action, and every single action sequence is excellent. Jayam Ravi is highly impressive in the role of Karthik, and emotes very well throughout the film. Kaali Venkat as his sidekick provides the needed comic relief. Lakshmi Menon also impresses with her decent performance. Rest of the cast too does an impressive.

Kudos to the director Shakti Soundar Rajan for making a zombie-themed action movie which is out and out fun to watch.

It's not a very long film, but the editing could've been a bit better in the beginning, as one song sequence slows the pace and appears to be a speed breaker. The music is just fine, while it's the background score which builds the required tension and provides a lot of thrill.

MIRUTHAN is a different sort of film. While this genre is relatively new for the Indian audiences, it has been executed in a totally Indian style and needs to be encouraged, so that we can see more movies like this in the future.
