Mugamoodi - My Thoughts

The movie starts with this below quote.

“As you think, so shall you become.” – Bruce Lee. 

Yes, agreed..

But while thinking, do remember,

"Your mind is the scene of the crime". – Christopher Nolan

I want to confess my thoughts, predictions, premise and conclusions that I felt while watching the film.

Right from the beginning, everything seemed odd rather offbeat. Mysskin boasting about the fights and techniques used in the film, the possible ways that he was going to make a lineup of sequels, 12kg super-hero suit, actors learning martial arts and stuff. Like most of you, I thought this is either going to suck money in the blatant name of martial arts (like Surya's 7aam Arivu) or its going be a desperate attempt to make a super-hero movie from a Hollywood flick. Great snakes, to my surprise it was a compost of both and the viewers were royally screwed.

I am a big fan of Mysskin right from his debut movie Chitiram Pesudhadi. I still remember the excitement and slowly building seriousness and tension while watching Anjaathey. I pretty much liked the desi-Kikujiro (Nandhalaala) and Yuddham sei. But, Mugamoodi ….. I CAN’T BARE !!!

Curtains rose at the multiplex screen, along with my expectations. Once the villain was shown and the first shot faded to, sort-of a comic, Marvel or DC Comic book pages flipping from top to bottom, I felt a slight punch in my abs. 

The Plot:

Expectations:

Hero is so passionate about Kung-fu (they call it so). Feels his Kung-fu Master his Godfather.  Hero wanders aimlessly and falls for a bieberlicious chick. Couldn’t tolerate the crimes happening in the society, hero turns himself to a masked vigilante. An invincible gang performs series of robberies around the city and a cop is so desperate to catch them. Finally how Mr.Mugamoodi caught the gang, lies the ultimate suspense and surprise in the story.

Reality:

A street kung-fu guy who calls himself Bruce wayne.. sorry Bruce Lee,  gets a boner seeing a gigantic brunette whose IQ level will definitely be topped by a kid at play school. To control his boner and to see her at night, he prepares a rexine suit with the help of a grandpa- wannabe Lucius Fox. On the parallel world, at chennai's Arkham asylum, a guy with serious psychological condition robs the city at night, after watching Heath Ledger’s inevitable performance in ‘The Dark Knight’ from HBO continuously for a month. Along with it, I assume he might have watched ‘The Town’ (masks) and ‘Kung fu Hustle’ (The Axe gang), that makes him pathetically attempt and try uttering dialogues for which even 7-year olds will give a face palm. Meanwhile Commissioner Gordon, yes you are right, Naaser tries to catch this robber. How Mr. Mugamoodi goofs up, spoofs up himself and kills the villain hilariously lies the ultimate idiocracy.

How Mugamoodi could’ve happened:

After watching hell lot of Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Kitano movies for ‘n’ number of times, Mysskin was desperate to kick some real a$$ in Kollywood. Combining his love and interest for martial arts, voracious reading, comics, super-hero stories, Mysskin in one night stand with a Jack Daniel's whiskey, successfully turned as Ram Gopal Varma of Kollywood (hope you movie buffs can understand what I am trying to say). A script was finally written on a puked tissue stolen from a local bar (which was show in the first song). Names it as a different, off-beat daring attempt.

I don't want to write more about this. Furnishing possible,

Trivia, FAQ’s, assumptions, theories and conclusion from Mugamoodi:

·     No its not a rip off of MGR’s ‘Engal veetu Pillai’. Booo.

·     This film is a dedication to Bruce Lee. No, not to his mysterious death.

·     Nolan’s ‘Batman’ Trilogy DVD can be purchased for the ticket price at Moore Market.

·   If you want to read about tamil super hero stories, go and buy the classic tamil comics ‘Irumbukka Maayavi’ from Rani comics, 3^rd lane, Bunder street, T-Nagar, Chennai.  (Click here to trace in Google maps). Hoooo.

·     Naaser is the Morgan Freeman of south Indian films. But in this flick he fits in the role of Commissioner Gordon, than Lucius Fox.

·    Heroine is the runner up in Miss Universe. Her acting is perfect that she can be casted in Desi/Tamil version of Jersey Shore series yet to be aired in Star Vijay TV.

·     Narain has some serious condition and deep pain in acting after knowing the fact that ‘Heath Ledger’ was dead, post his 'Joker' performance.

·      No, Anguswamy’s character (Narain) was not offered to Actor Santhanam initially.

·      Mysskin fantasized Dark knight climax mating with Spiderman-3 climax for Mugamoodi’s climax.

·     Climax, shot in harbor, 30 kids in a school bus, tied and hanged from a crane, with heroine tied to a rope, villain willingly loses his hand and falling down from the..... WTF !!

·      You may get the Dejavu of Bruce Lee’s Bigboss, Fist of fury etc.. in some shots when one kung-fu guy goes and hits the other guys from his opponent school for insulting his master.

·      Reason for Grandpa Character wearing the Sherlock Holmes suit with funny hat and a pipe in climax, only god knows. (Don’t tell me that he was with the guy from costume department)

·       You will love to watch dubbed super hero movies in theatres after watching Mugamoodi.

·       I ain’t going to a Mysskin movie again unless if its shot in yellow-bulb, dim light.

·     This is what happens when an unstoppable force (experiment subject, dumbness) meets  an immovable object (mass, high budget, crowd pleasing).

·      Oh yes, this guy K makes some good BGM, Seriously.
