Alas!
How
long
will
these
filmmakers
keep
boiling
the
same
stuff
over
and
over
again?
Perhaps,
you
would
have
to
walk
out
of
theatres
yelling
it.
We
have
watched
several
films
based
on
issues
pertaining
to
middle
class
families.
Of
course,
there
have
been
certain
amenities
that
these
cohorts
could
experience
after
watching
these
flicks.
But,
this
time
T.P.
Gajendran
spills
out
the
cliched
ingredients
that
lack
substantiality.
On
the
whole,
it"s
not
a
film
meant
for
multiplex
audiences
and
may
click
amongst
the
groups
in
suburban
areas
and
touring
talkies
in
villages.
The
film
revolves
around
a
good-for-nothing
guy
Challenge
Singaram
(Vivek),
who
is
pining
away
with
gambling
addiction.
His
childhood
sweetheart
Ponnarasi
(Yamini
Sharma)
always
remains
as
apple
of
his
eyes
and
somehow
manages
to
marry
her
after
convincing
parents
(Nasser
and
Saranya).
Her
younger
brother
Raghu
(Mithun)
gets
infuriated
over
Singaram"s
fraudulent
act
of
stealing
his
mobile,
which
leads
to
a
split
of
the
joint
family.
There
is
yet
another
shock
awaited
for
Singaram
as
he
gets
framed
for
the
murder
he
didn"t
commit.
Being
released
from
prison,
Singaram
vows
to
revive
himself
and
finds
a
right
way
to
set
things
rights.
Set
on
an
aspirational
journey,
he
makes
it
big
in
real
estate
business
thereby
becoming
rich.
On
his
return
to
village,
he
finds
that
his
in-laws
are
missing
and
their
lives
have
been
pathetic
now.
What
follows
next
is
a
series
of
flashback
sequences
that
reveals
the
reason
behind
their
pathetic
situation.
The
film
doesn"t
boast
off
anything
special
as
T.P.
Gajendran
comes
up
with
a
hackneyed
script.
The
characterizations
are
so
stereotyped
that
it
makes
you
annoyed
after
a
certain
extent.
Mithun
looks
so
spiritless
and
he
badly
needs
to
go
through
a
crash
course
in
acting.
He
fails
to
emote
with
realness
during
certain
sequences
that
would
have
gained
him
appreciations.
Yamini
Sharma
does
justice
to
her
role
while
Vivek
steals
the
show
with
his
comedy
tracks.
But
it
would
have
been
better
if
Vivek
had
avoided
uttering
double-entendres.
Technically,
the
film
lacks
solidity
on
all
arenas:
music,
cinematography
and
editing.
Dheena"s
musical
score
is
disappointing
as
none
of
the
songs
are
worthy
heeding.
Cinematography
and
editing
are
completely
amateurish.
The
first
half
somehow
travels
passably
with
accordance
to
Vivek"s
comedy
tracks
while
the
second
half
is
drenched
with
sentiments
and
emotional
quotients.
On
the
whole,
Magane
En
Marumagane
has
no
probabilities
of
surviving
at
the
box
office
for
more
than
a
week
as
a
bandwagon
of
big
tickets
are
scheduled
for
next
week"s
release.
