Promises More Than What It Achieves
Magizh Thirumeni�s first two films bore his unique stamp and were quite different from each other. His latest offering Meaghamann is more inclined towards his previous film Thadayara Thaakka, a riveting actioner that caught the attention of film buffs.(more)

Undercover cop thriller is an evergreen genre across the globe. Be it Martin Scorcsese�s The Departed, Kamal�s Kuruthipunal or Puri Jaganath�s Pokkiri, the raw gritty setup has always been welcomed by both critics and masses. Magizh Thirumeni's Meaghamann also belongs to the same genre.(more)

The mission of an undercover agent!
The last time Thadiyaara Thakka came out, there wasn�t much speculation or hype, but it did slowly exceed everyone�s expectation and put forth a turning aspect in action thrillers. Hands down the credit went to Magizh, and with Meaghamann he has taken up a storyline that beehives around an undercover agent, his desperation to catch a drug dealer. Unearthing undercover cops and the mystery around them has always been Kollywood�s pet project from the days of Jai Shankar, Magizh has grabbed his chance to show Arya in a different light altogether, breaking free from the lover boy image. So what�s up with the captain of the ship, let�s find out:(more)

A slick action flick.
Director Magizh Thirumeni is back after Thadaiyara Thaakka with Meaghamann starring Arya and Hansika in the lead roles. The film is set in Goa and is about what happens in a big drug trafficking cartel led by kingpin, Jothi Bhai. It is designed like a game of chess with many pawns and the other important factors in the game(more)

An undercover cop is involved in an operation to make a most wanted gangster come out of hiding. Can he succeed amidst suspicion, betrayal and loss?
Even though there is a lot of action in it, Meaghamann, is a battle of wits � a game of chess to be precise. Magilzh Thirumeni keeps reminding us this every now and then with visual nudges � a character is shown playing chess on the laptop, a character who is used by the hero is shown wearing a T-shirt that says 'I'm a pawn star', and the painting on the pier where the climax takes place is that of the white king you find on the chess board with the words King's Gambit below it.

A pretty decent action-adventure
A young drug cartel employee named Siva is shown to be a bad shot � such a bad shot that he misses even the outermost circle of the target board in front of him. (The bullet pathetically pierces the surrounding wooden frame instead.) A little later, Siva is shown to be having an affair with a cop�s wife. Someone trails him and sees him loitering outside the cop�s house, and after the cop leaves, he looks around furtively and goes past the doors the wife holds open for him. We don�t believe a minute of it. We don�t believe that Siva is a drug cartel employee. We don�t believe that he�s a bad shot. And we don�t believe that he is having an affair.(more)
