Miruthan<br />

2.75/5<br />

The pace in the<br />

second half gets<br />

a little slower,<br />

sometimes,<br />

making one<br />

wonder if there<br />

would be a<br />

respite at all<br />

from the ghastly<br />

happenings on<br />

screen.<br />

Story :<br />

Jayam Ravi plays a traffic cop<br />

in Ooty where he lives with his<br />

baby sister Vidya (Baby Anikha).<br />

Catastrophe arrives in the town<br />

in the form of a sudden outbreak<br />

of a virus attack that proves more<br />

dangerous than expected. What<br />

happens later on? Is there a<br />

way out? Is respite in the offing?<br />

Miruthan deals with all these<br />

answers. Watch the film to know<br />

about it completely.<br />

Analysis :<br />

the director spreading his premise<br />

neatly. There is the brother-sister<br />

sentiment that could work for<br />

emotion-seeking audience although<br />

it is a little difficult to digest a small<br />

girl mouthing age-inappropriate<br />

dialogues.<br />

The pace in the second half gets<br />

a little slower, sometimes, making<br />

one wonder if there would be<br />

a respite at all from the ghastly<br />

happenings on screen. There are<br />

also occasions when Miruthan<br />

takes on the form of hero-building<br />

exercises way too far and it<br />

appears to be a one man army<br />

battling against the hordes of<br />

affected populace.<br />

Final Word:<br />

Miruthan is sure a new experience<br />

for those who have never seen<br />

Hollywood zombie films. A decent<br />

work from Jayam Ravi and Shakthi<br />

Sounder Rajan.<br />
