Mediocre Laughter guaranteed
28 June 2014 | by (India) – See all my reviews

People's life span will reduce and die early if they were clicked a picture with a camera this superstitious belief of a village called #Mundasupatti emerging kind of a "Camera Phobia" among the villagers forms the base story line of this Rom - Com Tamil flick named after the village name "Mundasupatti" - strictly photography prohibited.

Interesting plot and the way the movie starts from 1947 when a meteorite research British scientist visits the village and who pictures people and eventually starts the phobia spree. #Director #Ramkumar (#Nalaya #Iyakunar fame - a reality show hunting for new direction talents for Tamil cinema) has narrated this story in a humorous way.

But as a matter of fact he could have cut short some portions in between the movie where it gets slightly dragged and tedious because nothing much to add up to the story of a simple love struggle in a village. Also couldn't avoid remembering "VPVS" at some places.

On the casting side #Vishnu Vishal plays the lead as Gopi the photographer with his assistant Azhagumani played by Kaali Venkat. They both have played it well and justified their roles. #Nandita of #Ethir #neechal and #Attakathi fame plays the normal village girl the love interest of the hero who hesitates at the same time loves the hero fits the role perfectly. The story is supported by too many turban heads in the movie.After a long gap we were able to see #Anantha #raj on screen.

Technical side of the movie the cameraman has created the ambiance of 1980's through his lens but don't know why he missed the complete glare and cloudy sunglasses and spectacles he and his assistant wears through out the movie.To mention on the Music department "Idhu enna" was a nice melody.

Over all we come out with satisfaction of getting into a comedy entertainer but not as exaggerated and touted by the reviews which made me think this will be the one stop laughter destination. Didn't meet that stand. An above average comedy movie.

Rating 2.5/5
