Cast: Veera, Mahima Nambiar, Pasupathy, Joe Malloori, Sentrayan, MS BhaskarDirection: M JeevanGenre: ActionDuration: 1 hour 51 minutes
Synopsis: A small-time criminal falls in love with the daughter of the local bigwig, who is also his master. When the girl asks him to marry her in front of her clan, the guy is almost killed. But when he recovers, he decides to get her hand at any cost...
Movie Review: If one has to go by Mosakkutti, we have to consider that the 'Madurai film', that sub-genre of films set in the hinterlands of Madurai with a lungi-clad scruff hero, vicious powerful villain, intrepid heroine, a hint of local culture (this film, actually, does away with this through a song in the beginning) and an undercurrent of violence, has become saturated. The film isn't boring per se, but we don't feel any excitement in the proceedings because its beats are very familiar and also because there are echoes of other films from this genre.
The story revolves around Bala aka Mosakkutti, who earns his livelihood by smuggling goods from lorries travelling on a highway. He sells the goods to the Virumandi, the local bigwig and a middle-man for smuggled goods. When the local cop, who is keen on nailing Virumandi, tries to get him by taking his daughter Kayalvizhi to the station, Mosakkutti foils it and this makes the girl profess her love for him before the entire village. An enraged Virumandi packs off Kayal to his brother Kasi's place in Kerala.
