Excellent but underrated film

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

A top notch movie that leaves you awe struck about the way its made. A new dimension to Tamil cinema. After reading many good reviews about this movie, I watched it finally. I must thank all the reviewers! Fantastic performances by all the leads. Cheran in a never before seen role and get-up makes his character all the more interesting. And Prasanna has scored his part so well in a negative shade after Anjadhey. He is a fantastic actor who has delivered an amazing performance in this movie as well.Debutante director Rajan Madhav has done an excellent job. Though he claimed this movie to be inspired from Strangers on a train, it doesn't carry a single scene that could give us the taste of the original. A brilliant movie for all the movie lovers.

Muran is an enjoyable entertainer. The story of death, murder, and many things make it all a very good movie to watch. Prasanna plays his part well and so does Cheran. This film is a guaranteed success of 2011. Everything fits together and all gaps are closed. Rajan Madhav and Padmesh have made this film very good to watch. The climax is the best part. Cheran's emotions and facial expressions make him a very flexible actor. This film might not be like Kalavani or Sarkar Raj in terms of interest. But Muran has enough to keep the train moving. Intensity is key. However, some people might dismiss the average soundtrack and lack of a comedian.In the end though, Muran is an absolutely amazing and outstanding film to watch. Go ahead and enjoy.

Muran is an unique movie with a new subject for the Tamil audience. the intriguing trailer increased the expectations about this movie and to my surprise the movie was up to the expectations even the unexpected expectations. because am always critical while watching regional movies.. this movie has satisfied even the intellectual viewers along with entertaining capabilities... there is some directorial magic that would bind the audience to sit and watch without questioning. which wont happen in many movies which are not commercial as well as with challenging story line. there were many scenes in the movie which are unique and novel. the movie speaks the director's confidence, clear mindedness in his way of telling the story to audience... unlike many commercial directors who put half of their faith on some over rated actors this director definitely has his own commanding style which should be welcomed and appreciated. Cheran has powerfully underplayed his role which is incredible. he has already proved that he is a finest actor in many of his past movies. he literally lives in every character he plays. in this movie i loved the scene where he gets in to a club to kill Prasanna's father. the sneaky chasing is an awesome performance.(back ground music rocks in such scenes) couldn't think of any other actor to fit in that role. the songs were unnecessary for this movie makes it drag. But back ground music is fantastic and has played an important role in every particular scenes. The friendly, boy next door, one in the family, Prasanna is now a cute, mysterious, attractive, psycho urban bloke who has an aura and charm. thats what he is in this movie and he represented all that i mentioned through his acting, style,carrying himself and expressions. Nikita has played well to the extent that i think that she played her original character..well joke apart she has done good acting. Haripriya looks like any other commercial heroine with well ironed hair in every scene..needs better acting and language skills.. i don't have complaints about the climax. the guy himself accepts the death with smiling face like he has enjoyed the thrills in life and death comes only a part of the game is justified and Cheran sign off with guilt. perfect ending.

A musician took a lift from a businessman on a highway and they are heading to the same destination.they share their own lives and the problem they had.the businessman comes up with a deal to solve each others problem but things going out of musician's way and how he comes over the businessman is the story... It may be a loosely based on an English movie but who care its one of the rare attempts in Tamil.The movie is well taken and actors did their job...you may find the movie bore at some stages and the story should have been concentrated well. The traveling sequences and the murder plans are good Overall its a good one...you will neither enjoy nor hate it....
