Slickly made thriller that respects your intelligence

Muran is undoubtedly one of the finest thriller to emerge out of Kollywood in recent times. Debutant director Rajan Madhav has come out with an edge of the seat racy thriller with some melodious music and gritty performances that keep the mercury rising. (more)

A thriller well told!

Cheran and Prasanna deliver nothing less of a power-packed performance. It’s hard to judge Rajjan Madhav’s direction because this is after all not his original movie. But given his script writing ability transposing the original, he has done a good job of it. Padmesh’s cinematography manages to give an edge to the film’s look by making it look menacing. Muran will catch your fancy during its running time. It’s well made and neatly acted out by its lead actors.(more)

It does lose, heavily, in originality

The director appears to have suddenly turned indecisive, about the screenplay: the writing wanders from showing a character as negative, then positive, then negative again. Muran scores at certain points, such as Prasanna, and a smattering of scenes. (more)

A tighter screenplay and a shorter running length would have made 'Muran' a much more engaging conflict to watch.

The film works mostly because of Prasanna, who comes up with a performance that keeps the viewer engaged even when the screenplay doesn't. He excels in his role as a rich, wayward young man, who has scant regard for the law or authority and views life as a series of thrills.(more)

Falls short of expectations.

Muran is a merciless mauling of a Hitchcock classic. These strangers on the road are no patch on those fascinating ‘strangers on a train’.(more)
