Story:
Hero Anand aka Bruce Lee [Jeeva], as friends call him is a martial arts specialist, who tries to make his passion his profession, but unlucky Lee couldn’t do it. In the meantime happens to see Shakthi [Pooja Hedge], daughter of a commissioner Gaurav [Nasser] and falls for her. Our hero Bruce Lee tries to impress Shakthi and her sister’s children with his martial art skills in the process put on Mugamoodi costume, which brings trouble for him.
Intervening to this Anand come across Dragon [Narain] and his gang, who fights with formers master Chandru [Selvaa] and also involved in a mass robbery and murder cases in the city. Finally Lee aka Mugamoodi [Jeeva] decides to help police to catch the Dragon and his gang. Dragon who plans to take revenge on Lee and the commissioner, convenes a plan that eventually frames Lee as a robber and the attempter to kill Gaurav.
Watch Mugamoodi to know, how will Lee manage to disband this problem? How he gains his love Shakthi? And finally how he proves Dragon and his gang is the victims and bring them to justice?
Performances:
Jeeva has given best performance as Anand aka Bruce Lee and his transition from a common man to a masked superhero Mugamoodi is quite admirable. Fans of Jeeva are sure to love his act with the equal shares of humor and action.
Hero turned antagonist Narain tried his best to play the baddie for Jeeva, but couldn’t show the utmost needed nastiness in his role through his action and is unsuccessful finally.
Debutant Pooja has matched the role best, but failed to portray her part suitably well and needs to improve her expressions by taking special coaching.
Nasser, Selva and Girish Karnad have done their roles best as ever they do.
Technical Analysis:
Mysskin has narrated the plot well according to his script, which he tells is his childhood dream, but the screenplay is quite slow. Compared to earlier films of Mysskin, Mugamoodi is a different and unique attempt. Director’s idea to shoot most of the scenes in the night adds novelty to the movie that worked in favor of films success.
Cinematography by Sathya is the appealing part of Mugamoodi, who has well captured the martial art sequences done by Jeeva and Narain. Tony Leungs should be given a tap for awe-inspiring stunts, which are one of the highlights of the movie. Gaugin should have edited well so that Mugamoodi doesn’t look slow in parts.
UTV Motion Pictures have lavishly produced Mugamoodi and Dhananjayan has innovatively promoted the film, so that it reaches every individual audiences. The works seems paid off as the Chennai Government has given the 30% tax exemption as it is highly entertaining.
Analysis:
Myssikn’s hero Mugamoodi is a common man, who always wanted to be on the right side fighting against the bad. Mysskin has well tried to narrate us the story of right v/s wrong through Bruce Lee’s perspective, but the narration is slow.
Mugamoodi has a compromised screenplay with racy first half, which is laced up with comedy, emotions, action et al. While all these are missing in the second half with lost momentum in some scenes.
Coming to the technical team, K. has proved his mettle in the background scores too along with the chartbuster songs namely Vaayumoodi Summa Iru Da and Maayavi. Cinematographer Sathya and editor Guigan has done descent works while Mysskin and UTV have to be specially praised to bring the stunt master Tony Leungs all the way from Hong Kong, who has composed the stunts very interestingly.
Final Verdict:
Mugamoodi is worth watching a natural powered superhero with no expectations…
