Analysis 

Well, by now you would be wondering as to what Miruthan means. It is the combination of the two Tamil words Mirugam, meaning animal, and Manithan, meaning man. A zombie film may be new to the Tamil audience, but it is quite familiar to the international audience. Hollywood and Japanese films have given quite some zombie films to entertain the audience. But what about the Tamil audiences who are used to either commercial cinema, or parallel cinema? Well, Miruthan will surely be a novel connection with the Tamil audience. 

What’s there?

  • The first half goes in a fast paced manner and keeps you engrossed. 
  • Imman’s BGM is one of the highlights of the movie. He has done a wonderful job. 
  • The tried and tested brother-sister bond is also seen in this film, and it is handled in a quite commendable manner. 
  • We can get the vibe of a zombie film, thanks to the talented technicians. 
  • The makeup team deserves credit for their efficiency. 

What’s not there?

  • The script of the movie could have been better.
  • There are several sub-plots in the movie that you tend to get confused. 
  • Sometimes you get vexed with the zombies repeatedly giving torture. 
  • The scenes involving the affected individuals sending chills down the audiences’ spine is surely not for the weak-hearted.
  • The second half goes at a leisurely pace, and the viewer would very badly want to have an end to all the horrible events. 

Verdict

Miruthan is a novel attempt in Tamil cinema and lets’s hope such endeavors strike the right chord with the targeted audience.
