Meagamann (2014) Reviews

• Good scripted Action Entertainer which fails to hit the bulls eye

  naveensankaran182014-12-30

  First of all, a big thanks to the director for taking forward a subject in a slightly different perspective. Meagamann deals with drugs, police, undercover agent, faith, lose - all these has already been done and dusted in cinema. But this is actually a very good scripted movie which uses all these elements to its advantage. It is, though, let down a bit by its execution. Pros: Arya is very much suitable for this role. He did justice to the role. Screenplay is another plus as it grips the audience by throwing in something to hang on. Dialogues - unlike traditional commercial movies, no unwanted lengthy dialogs are placed. Appreciable one. Movie length is a big plus as it makes it more crispy. Can be made better: Hansika's role is almost unwanted and she is wasted in the movie. Unwanted scenes that are targeted to bring out laugh in us but eventually fails in second half. Editing is very good in certain parts but it lets down in certain key places. Character importance is not given and their background is not explained well enough for the role to sink in. Overall - a gripping enough action entertainer that will have a surprise ending! Worth for the money. Better than many commercial masala movies.

• Best movie of the year.. Different direction of the genre

  stylegamer2015-01-30

  An intense thriller that sheds light on the deadly cold war between powerful drug cartels and the police. We have seen such gangster vs cop thrillers in Tamil cinema before but this movie takes the genre a few notches up though the movie execution is quite similar to the 2003 "Khakka Khakka" acted by Surya. This plays more like a Hollywood cold war spy thriller in Tamil Meaghamann takes a while to pick up, with the director taking his time to introduce the dozen or more major characters. But once we get the background info on the various gangs, cops and the moles on either side, we are drawn into the plot, which is intricately woven and manages to keep us on the edge of our seats. The pre-interval portions, especially, are quite tense and intense Firstly this movie does not have much songs and any intro songs, hard hitting music to introduce ajith, vijay or any popular heroes to establish the characters, it just goes right into them without wasting time on unnecessary distractive introductions or comedy scenes . The director Maghil Thirumeni have previously directed the ultra dark crime noir movie "Thadayara Thakka" but in this movie has avoided direct gruesome or violence scenes but concentrated more on thrilling the audiences with mindbending wits and shrewdness. The killing of a police officer after being discovered is mentally gruesome scene which lets u imagine the aftermath rather than show it all .We can see the director;s touch for such scenes from Thadayara Thakka A few loopholes in the movie which are barely noticeable But, Maghilzh Thirumeni has a flair for staging tense sequences as proved in his previous film, Thadayara Thaaka, this too, has some solid nail-biting moments) and that helps us look over the flaws. An definite upcoming director soon the join the ranks of Gautham menon Do not go in expecting chartbuster songs as the songs are pretty non existent in this movie THe art direction and camera-work is top notch and apt for the film. the only lacking aspect is the background score which seems to be minimal.But overall adds on the tense mood throughout the film. overall the director carries the crime noir from his previous movie into this one albeit slightly differently . Highly recommended .

  Worst Movie. Nobody acted very well in the movie. The movie was not at all interesting. This movie was one of the worst movie of Arya and Magizh Thirumeni. The movie had many violent scenes and unwanted scenes. The movie was so boring. The movie had no interesting part. Worst Movie.

• Underrated

  This is lot better than 6.8 stars it has now. It is one of the best thrillers in a while. Watch it you won't regret.

• Worth watching!!

  Story and screenplay are gripping. Hero's role was modeled beautifully as an intelligent guy capable to handle any kind of situation.scenes with heroine might be considered calming down scenes in a intense movie, but they are OK. More of a thriller rather than family, commercial flick. It may not go well with Indian audience.Hats off to director in writing a good script and directing. Editing is below par, should have been better. background score is just OK for a thriller. A little bit fun element would have made it better. A must watch for all Tamil audience. better than most of the recent action movies. The scene before the interval and after the interval were awesome
