Mynaa ( 2010) ***

Some times you might even forget what you have been doing for years,Things might get mighty and unavoidable than the routine duties.Thats what is happening with me for the past two months.I have been searching for time to write reviews for movies I watched .All said, Myna has lived to some extent on its expectation and hype.Myna wouldn’t be called as a cult or great movie but definitely it gains a commercial and critical success which a director dreams for.

For years Prabu Solomon has been trying to convey some thing to the audiences,But he has been giving half baked stories like King,Lee,Kokki.But if you look at all these there isn’t a direct narration or plot in his movie.He has a style and stuff to present but all along he has been lacking perfection to present as a complete product .With Myna he has improved his presentation and core plot which struck deep in the viewer’s experience. The success of any film maker lies in the screen play ,to me Prabu Solomon wins in the last thirty minutes.

Myna is a realistic experience of love , of two souls who get in to trouble. The journey of their love is portrayed along with sub plots which takes a destructive effect on these two people.Myna is about Sruli and his love with Myna.His world starts and ends with Myna.How malevolence and circumstances destructs the dreams of Sruli gives the substance of Prabu Solomon work.Along the dense forest the love and search gives us a relief from lots of monotonous works we have been watching.Good work Mr.Solomon.

For first one hour ,you have no idea what is this all about.You cant stop comparing with Paruthiveeran or any village stories,but underneath this one hour you get fresh experience of Bodinayakkanur life style on the hills.Things shift to a different mode when Suruli escapes from the cops .The Cop Bhaskar and Thambi Ramaiyah puts up one of the best performances in the recent past which elevates this movie .Myna definitely wins because of the superlative performance of four people Vidharth ,Amala pal and the cops.Infact there aren’t much people in the movie .You cant stop praising Iman’s Music and Sukumar’s camera in the movie.

Prabu Solomon should have worked on the first half.This would have made this a run away success like subramaniapuram or Paruthiveeran.Those movies attained the cult status because of the interesting and racy first half with humour.Myna lacks it completely.Its a let down in the first half.We have some melodramatic scenes which infact irritates.But the second half is a super work and super success for Prabu Solomon and team.The way the plot ends ,gives us a deep distress which makes us to ask question who is responsible for this ?

Myna is a breath of fresh air,but its definitely not an end which you would love.Sorry for the delayed posting.
