Critics Review

Muscle flexing for the masses

Whether a film like Marudhu works depends entirely on your sensibilities. There is a target audience for this film and for them it is almost bang on target. Where Muthiah succeeds is that he has not left the audience outside his core group scratching their heads. There is almost no redundant scene in the film which is quite tightly packed. The formula is very much evident.(more)

Rural actioner

Marudhu is tailor-made for Vishal as he excels as an action hero. After Sandakozhi and Pandiya Nadu, his physique and spontaneous dialogue delivery have worked out well in the movie.(more)

One more rural flick riding high on melodrama and violence

Technical side of Marudhu is just about ordinary. The songs are functional. Anal Arasu�s action choreography is good. To cut to the chase, Marudhu could work for audiences who like to watch a rural masala flick with a lot of action.(more)

Marudhu is excessively violent

Kulappulli Leela is impressive, but Sri Divya does need to work on her angry look, she looks far too innocent for her daring act. With a rather ordinary script and unremarkable execution, coupled with the endless chasing scenes, the excessive violence and melodrama, director Muthaiya�s Marudhu only gives you a headache.(more)
