Munthinam Parthene ( 2010 ) **

Munthinam Parthane is a movie directed by Magizh Thirumeni .Assistant of Gautham Menon.Lots of shades of Gautham Menon,Even the locales.But he believes in Tamil dialogues to some extend than his Boss.Muthinam Parthane is not a bad attempt for its outlook.I liked the director’s name ! His maiden venture in to Films starts of with a lovestory which lacks clarity.

Sanjay starts of the movie narrating his journey from his late twenties till he gets married.Sanjay falls in love with many girls but he never finds his soulmate .When he accepts some body he realizes his love and concern for the past relation. Some how the movie goes off in a unclear fashion which actually goes terribly wrong about the screenplay.Sanjay settles down with what he was given to him than going in search of the girl.

One fine thing about this movie is characterization ,Director had built some realistic characters around the main characters who actually make this movie close to interesting.The character of Ilango and Priya are typical guys whom you would find in every office.Every intention of the director is to tell the story of the Urban Youth in a emotional manner but he just loses the grip on the way.He lets out lots of events to describe the intentions and attitude of the working professionals which actually doesn’t interest because it slowly became a serial kind of feel.Director doesn’t want to explain but he doesn’t want to be clear of his scenes too.It doesn’t confuse the audience it just makes it very evident that his screenplay is not scripted well.

Some how the Main character Aarthi didn’t interest among the whole lot. Played down by rumors ,her problem with relations, her independence were not presented well.The whole absorption was totally missing in her performance and emotions.Sanjay plays out a fine performance ,realistic,cool and sharp.The problem with lead female characters are that every body looks similar Aarthy,Pooja and Anu.And that’s a problem when you name your characters with very familiar names.I think Director should have learnt this from his Guru ,Of how to name characters with specific identification.Taman’s music plays off in wrong time in the movie,Guy should seriously work on his BGM.Eeram was impressive this is disappointing.Magizh has chosen some beautiful locales in and around Chennai which is actually impressive.Vincent captures his mood and it gives fresh look to the whole presentation.The beaches,Anna salai and so on.

Movie is good in patches but as a whole it’s an average movie and one another movie which tells about the IT professionals in a “so called” realistic manner
