Miruthan Movie Review

Shakti Soundar Rajan’s Miruthan, in all likelihood the first zombie journey in Tamil, is by no means novel inside the international of cinema. As early as 1932, Hollywood popularised Voodoo magic via this style with the film White Zombie. several others came in following decades including I Walked with a Zombie, The Plague of the Zombies and night time of the residing dead.

Japan is higher acknowledged on this style; in fact roots of zombie films can be traced returned to the Edo and Meiji intervals in which ghost tales were a part of the folklore.

but, for an basically Tamil-speakme populace - maximum of which does not have get right of entry to to Hollywood cinema, let alone eastern fare - Miruthan will be an revel in. perhaps taking a cue from japanese filmmakers who invariably infuse comical elements into their zombie dramas, Rajan has laced his movie with humour (mercifully no longer of the stupid variety I regularly see in Tamil cinema) and a hint of romance. So, if at all Miruthan attracts price tag-paying audiences, it's going to most probably be on the strength of its wit and love.
