Miruthan
2.75/5
The pace in the
second half gets
a little slower,
sometimes,
making one
wonder if there
would be a
respite at all
from the ghastly
happenings on
screen.
Story :
Jayam Ravi plays a traffic cop
in Ooty where he lives with his
baby sister Vidya (Baby Anikha).
Catastrophe arrives in the town
in the form of a sudden outbreak
of a virus attack that proves more
dangerous than expected. What
happens later on? Is there a
way out? Is respite in the offing?
Miruthan deals with all these
answers. Watch the film to know
about it completely.
Analysis :
the director spreading his premise
neatly. There is the brother-sister
sentiment that could work for
emotion-seeking audience although
it is a little difficult to digest a small
girl mouthing age-inappropriate
dialogues.
The pace in the second half gets
a little slower, sometimes, making
one wonder if there would be
a respite at all from the ghastly
happenings on screen. There are
also occasions when Miruthan
takes on the form of hero-building
exercises way too far and it
appears to be a one man army
battling against the hordes of
affected populace.
Final Word:
Miruthan is sure a new experience
for those who have never seen
Hollywood zombie films. A decent
work from Jayam Ravi and Shakthi
Sounder Rajan.
