Vidiyum Munn Review

Cast: Pooja Umashankar, Malavika Manikuttan, Vinod Kishan, John Vijay, Amarendran, Lakshmy RamakrishnanDirection: Balaji K KumarGenre: ThrillerDuration: 2 hours 19 minutes
Synopsis: Two women — one a call girl and the other a 12-year-old — are fleeing from three men, who are desperate to hunt them down for reasons of their own.
Movie Review: There is a very telling moment in Vidiyum Munn when Devanayagi ( Lakshmy Ramakrishnan), a former sex worker, gets into a situation where she either has to give out information regarding Nandini (Malavika), a 12-year-old girl and Rekha (Pooja), her erstwhile friend who is still stuck in the business, or see her children being told that their mother was a sex worker in the past. Only a few scenes earlier, we had witnessed Devanayagi look accusingly at Rekha, after she admits that she agreed to take Nandini to a paedophile because it will bring her some cash and spare her the ignominy of having to satisfy customer after customer in a seedy hotel. But, Devanayagi decides to do the former, because that is what most people do when faced with a dilemma — survive or drown.
Refreshingly, the film is not judgmental about people sinking low to survive but embraces those who try to redeem themselves. And so, it is the story of Rekha who realizes she has done a horrible thing, and decides to protect Nandini, even if it means putting herself in danger.
