It’s an undeniable fact that, of late, most of the Tamil films which have performed excessively well in the industry are Remake movies ! One such successful remake recent Tamil movie is “M. Kumaran – Son of Mahalakshmi” !

Kumaran and his father are mostly like cat and rat & Kumaran is surprised to find that his father Easwar is the Father of Kick Boxing, which has been his dream ! Does Kumaran & his father get to understand & love each other ? Did Kumaran become an international Kick Boxer ? Did Kumaran meet his lover Asin etc… are the rest of the story.
+ Ses
• The key factor that has contributed to the great success of this wonderful movie is the emotional story line. The love between a mother and a son, hero and heroine, father and the son have been said in a very charming way. It’s also indeed great to see such a neatly scripted screen-play.
• Hero Ravi has surely done a great homework to prepare himself for his character in this film. Compare him with his first movie Jeyam with Sadha, Phew… ! Ravi has undoubtedly improved his physique to suit his character, his body language and accentuation. He is sure to become one of the best in the Field soon !
• Prakash Raj is never the least in any movie …. Here too, it’s the same ! As an egoistic man, an emotional father, a proud Kick Boxer, Prakash Raj is just the best.
• Nadhiya as usual, has performed very well as the hero’s mother. She is still young and energetic !
• Unlike the usual dummy heroines, Asin does have some better role to play in this movie. She is stunning and acts pretty well too. Being a Keralite herself, acting in this character wouldn’t have been a major problem for her. She is definitely an added charm to the film.
• MUSIC – IS just the BEST ! Almost every song is excellent in its own way. The best are “Chennai Senthamizh Marandhen Unnaaley….” and “Aiyyo Aiyyo….”. The Choreography is superb and certainly worth a mention in almost all the songs !
Overall, M. Kumaran is a Great Movieamong the recently released Tamil films. ‘Jeyam’ Ravi is just superb as a highly ambitious Hero and has done an excellent job ! Do watch this movie with family / friends and I am sure it would be a feast to you all & a way out of your masala monotony !
