The bells ringing vibrant with winds, lizards clasping it, the deposits of a meteoroid become God and the photograph that kills people. The salient features of Mundasupatti village leaves you split in laughter and at times discombobulated just like the protagonist Gopi (Vishnu), who is invited to take snaps of an aged village head ready to pass away. He is acquainted by the belle (Nanditha) he fell in love and decides to keep himself glued to the village along with his friend (Kaali Venkat). But the enigmatic situation arise when the villagers find out about his real intentions and amidst this is the conniving plan of a comical landlord (Anand Raj) on a process of pillaging of the precious meteoroid.
Funny things tickle up your senses here and there. Ram Kumar’s choice of spontaneous witty lines delivered by actors offer hilarious moments and even the final credits have the bloopers and deleted scenes make you laugh. But the basic problem of this film is the ho-hum scenes that are found quite in plenty. The point where the film starts keeps you waiting for something interesting, perhaps a treasure hunt or something adventurous, but you’re taken to a different stage enroute humour and love. Yet, the lead pairs are always seen exhibiting the emotions at mediocrity. The first hour doesn’t turn to be more engaging and even few scenes in second half as well. Only the last few minutes of the film raises the momentum.
Vishnu has been a part of some unique projects and he deserves some special mention for this. This film isn’t an exception, but he could have picked up more energy into the role he essayed. We meant not to hurt or degrade this acting skill, but it could have been better. It’s a delight to see Nandhita as an exception, where she doesn’t believe skin shows and skimpy costumes. Thanks for newness in her approach, but again she should have been given more dialogues to render instead of just the camera focusing on her close-ups. Kaali Venkat emblazons the screens with the best punch of humour and not to forget the one in the role of Munish Kanth. If not for him, the fun-filled raciness would have not been so much funny.
Cinematography enhances the script work of Ram Kumar. Sean Roldan has done a best job. Editing is little immature.
On the whole, Mundasupatti is a cool-good entertainer, but lacks the spirit of humour and fun in few places and the emotions required for romances goes missing.
Verdict: A trip with some oasis and more speed breakers.
