Mundasupatti Review

Cast: Vishnu Vishal, Nandita, Kaali Venkat, Ramadas, AnandarajDirection: Ram KumarGenre: ComedyDuration: 2 hours 28 minutes
Synopsis: Gopi, a photographer, and Azhagu, his assistant, get stuck in Mundasupatti, a village where having photographs taken is bad omen. And, Gopi falls for Kalaivani, the village headman's daughter who is about to get married...
Movie Review: Mundasupatti is one heady cocktail when it comes to the genres that the film dabbles in. It is a sci-fi (a meteorite hits a village), a rural drama (the meteorite becomes the deity of a village), a mystery (the space rock goes missing), a period film (the story happens in 1982, with a prelude set in 1947), and of course, there is a romance as well. But it is primarily a comedy. Director Ram Kumar, who is the latest promising find from the TV show Naalaya Iyakkunar, certainly knows how to end a joke with a punchline. In an early scene, we see Gopi, the film's protagonist, lining up a family which has come to his photo studio to have their photograph taken. As he is about to click, his assistant Azhagumani comes with tickets to a newly-released film (this time, it isn't Rajinikanth and Murattu Kaalai, the usual touchstones for period films set in the 80s, but Kamal Haasan and Sagalakala Vallavan), and the two scoot off without taking the photograph to the theatre. But the joke doesn't end there.
