Muran

As Cheran said before, Muran is a thriller but different from his earlier venture Yuddham Sei. Directed by newcomer Rajan Madhav, the latest movie is intriguing and a thrilling ride. It has a thin storyline yet engages you till the end.

Musician Nanda is having troubles in his married life. His marriage with Indhu (Nikita Thukral) is turning out to be nightmare for him. At this stage, he encounters a wealthy, gabby ne'er-do-well Arjun (Prasanna) and before you wonder what's happening, you will see them together on a road trip. The journey starts revealing their painful past life and their lifestyle. The two men's contradicting ideologies, their tensions and conflict of thoughts make the story interesting. As the story progresses, Nanda, who is a soft-spoken introverted man, finds a solution for his troubled life from Arjun. Well, Arjun hatches a scheme whereby he will do a murder for Nanda if latter will do one for him. What happens next should be seen on-screen.

Nanda and Prasanna have given their best for the characters played by them. Both the actors are excellent in their roles and the debutant director could not have expected more from them. Rest of the cast like Nikhita, Haripriya Suma Bhattacharya, and Jayaprakash are okay.
