The handsome Vinay Rai who took a sabbatical of types from Tamil film industry after Modhi Vilayadu is back in a comedy- action entertainer in Mirattal directed by Madhesh. Publicized as ‘thillu mullu begins’, Mirattal also has Santhanam, the present hot property of Kodambakkam, who has become crucial staple of Tamil films these days.Mirattal is set a perilous dada who has his Achilles’ heel in his sister and the consequent events that unfold for that reason. What happens when a tender man breaks into this boundary forms the core of the tale written and directed by Madhesh. Mirattal for the massive part reminds the audience of Prabhu’s yesteryear Chinna Thambi, perhaps more strongly due to the veteran’s presence within the film albeit in a special role.
The premise could also be not very contemporary and possibly will have worked well on the turnstile a few decades back. All of the same, the flick is reasonably engaging thanks mainly to the passable comedic elements interspersed which sometimes appear silly and often laughable.
Vinay Rai looks comfortable in his role and dishes out a neat performance. Sharmila Mandre looks pathetic for many parts and wishes to work on just about all facets of acting. For Prabhu, that is only a breeze of a task which he has done innumerable times in his career and continues to return up trumps.
Santhanam as usual injects oxygen into this ordinary fare and whenever he appears on screen, he revitalizes the proceedings together with his wisecracks and body language. He's also ably supported by Pandiarajan and Kanja Karuppu on this department. In truth Mirattal boasts of an enormous supporting cast in Prabhu, Mansoor Ali Khan, Bossky, Yuvarani, Uma Padmanabhan and Pradeep Rawat.
Director’s touch with comedy manifests itself in humorous dialogues like “50 kg Taj Mahal illa 300 kg Nayakkar Mahal” and “Ini Thamizh Naattukku foreign maappilay venaam, Thamizh Naattu maappillaye porum” and normally they're mouthed by -no marks for guessing- Santhanam. Vinay Rai also provides the very best foil for Santhanam and Pandiarajan.
Praveen Mani’s music is solely about ordinary and the pick of the album is Kalla Parvai. That aside, the RR is loud and thumping and will was toned down. Kannan’s camera work is simply about ordinary and in lots of places, the jumpy editing will need to have been avoided and the continuity aspect sorted. The overseas locales that were much advertised don't make much a mark.
The scene where Santhanam gets sloshed and creates a commotion is unnecessarily lengthy and irksome. There are plenty of gaffes within the film just like the heroine asking her friend to name the emergency number 911 in UK, the mysterious bus that follows the lead pair’s car within the song on and off, to call a couple of. And likewise the villain giving the cellphone to heroine in climax and the hero looking to locate the heroine in a beaten to death trick are surely amusing.
Mirattal is simply another commercial fare with comedy dominating for many parts and engages the audience in an overly average manner.Verdict: Passable masala
