A good Masala film. A very good Romantic Thriller. Simply that is Masilamani. If you are one who does not mind watchingmasala films, the movie will entertain you throughout, and the interest willkeep you till the very last shot. Also,it is a romantic thriller. May be thatis a new concept but true. If we lookback, the film Gentleman was a super hit for the challenge happened between thepolice officer and the thief. Here too,the same kind of challenge is maintained though the way the writer resort tosolve it is little villagized.
A good hearted hero Masi, also known as Mani (Nakul) who don’t mind fight for the justice and going to jail fallin love with Divya (Sunaina) – abold, beautiful girl. To our hero’s badluck, he ends up the villain in the life of Divya. Knowing that she will not accept his love,Masi pretend as Mani. The movie is allabout how Masi convince Mani is different from Masi to her, to her family andto the police officer who is a relative of Divya. As you can see, there is not much novelty inthe theme but the presentation and the challenges made the film a goodentertainer.
The speciality of the movie is the challenge thrown at the Hero either bycharacters or situations and the smartness with which the hero overcomethem. There is a scene where thehero’s sister got into hospital where the hero was acting as Mani and the waythe situation is handled a lot of praise. Nakul’s performance in thisscene is extra ordinary. Manohar, the writer director need all applaudsfor the excellent situations he created. Many a time the directors create situations and let the characters dieas ‘Abhimanyu’s. Here, the director knowhow to bring him out, eventhough some times we have to make sure that theserver connection to brain is disconnected.
Nakulfor his merit has a cutesmile, good action sense and pleasant look. His romantic look was visible in his earlier film ‘Kadhalil Vizhundhen’as well. In Masilamani however, he gota better role and a good job. Sunaina too were excellent in therole. The tall actress gave animpressive performance being a confident, talented and homely girl. The supporting cast did a good job as well.
Music numbers of the film is foot tapping. Choreography was colourful but the choreographer caught in between afilm of romance and music for stage drama.
Cinematography was good.
Youngsters or family, the film is alight entertainer which you can watch keeping your brain at home. Not toexpect anything great.I think this is the best I have watchedfrom Kalanidhi Maran productions (Others were average films). May be the film will be a hit if remade toHindi as well.
