movies : If the son or daughter of a film celebrity makes his debut in cinema, there will be high expectations. Aditi Shankar is a newcomer to Tamil cinema ...

Aditi's performance in the film is also receiving praise. In the midst of all this, Viruman's film is currently releasing. And when it was announced that she is going to act opposite actor Karthi, the expectation of Aditi increased.

To compensate for the utter lack of entertainment, Muthaiya fills the film with pointless songs and physics-defying fights — there is nothing new or ...

It bloats the screenplay with unending melodrama and redundant fight scenes. The fiesty heroine melts in love immediately on hearing that the hero sacrificed his money, ancestral wealth and the famed 'self-respect' for her. There is a long line of smaller villains, who come and go just to satisfy the stunt choreographer remuneration. It kills and subjugates women at every chance it gets, while simultaneously praising their virtues of unconditional sacrifice. Even in the '80s, this would have been a dead horse, and we're still flogging it in 2022. For instance, the hero has three elder brothers, apparently, none of whom grew a spine until Viruman shows up with money or clever-sounding hollow ideas. It is familiar enough for the audience to show interest, but different enough to stay engaged. One fine morning, in the middle of an oorthiruvizha (village festival) of some kind, Viruman shows up to beat up some henchmen in the immediate term and reform his father in the long-term. Soori is in the film for comic relief, but often, we're left wanting relief from him. In the process, he also falls in love with Thaen (Aditi Shankar who is great with her dance moves), for good measure. To save the audience from the boredom of the same-same, writers and directors make little adjustments or throw in a few surprises. With Viruman, Muthaiya, known for his violent caste-pride fares such as Devarattam, returns with yet another diatribe on veeram (valour), maanam (honour), manhood, womanhood, motherhood and so on.

The rural entertainer, directed by Muthaiya released to packed theatres today and fans of the actor assembled in droves to watch the film. What caught the ...

Music for the film is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. While cinematography is by Selvakumar SK, editing is Venkat Raajen. The film has been bankrolled by Suriya and Jyotika's production house, 2D Entertainment. Suriya had shared earlier in the day that Viruman will be a wholesome family entertainer which will linger in the minds of people for long. Sangeetha Vijay was seen at the first day first show of Karthi's film at a theatre in Chennai. The film marks the second collaboration between Karthi and Muthaiya after their latest successful film Komban, which was also a rural entertainer. The film's lead actress Aditi Shankar is also seen having a conversation with her. What caught the attention of many was the presence of actor Vijay's wife Sangeetha at the theatre. In the meantime, Viruman has opened to positive reviews from critics and the audience.

'Viruman' starring Karthi and Aditi Shankar is definitely an upgrade from Muthaiya's previous films. At best, it is watchable and to some extent, ...

Viruman Movie Review: A routine village drama starring Karthi; Aditi Shankar makes a confident debut ... Viruman is a film that entertains you in bits and pieces ...

The only difference here is that Muthaiah stuck to the basics and presented the film in his manner. The character is definitely not a glamourous one and she fits well in the role of a rural lady. Prakash Raj in an entirely evil role has carried out his part well, and the film gets good supporting characters from Rajkiran, Singam Puli, Soori and the others. Unfortunately, most of Tamil films set in a village backdrop have some rift between the hero and his family, but he is always the macho of the town and is ready to do anything for the village and his family. There are quite a lot of reasons for this rift and issues in the village are topping to the cake. This film is nothing different from the routine and boring films that have come with the same backdrop.

Director Muthaiah's Viruman starring Karthi, Aditi Shankar and Prakash Raj is a redundant film with a predictable screenplay. Karthi and Prakash Raj's ...

He is the kind of person who thinks a woman in his house is predominantly a baby-making machine and should heed to a man's pleasure. Viruman is a showreel for Aditi Shankar, daughter of legendary director Shankar. She has displayed her acting, dancing and dialogue delivery skills. For example, Thaenu (Aditi Shankar) is the only woman who likes Muthupandi and is willing to fight anyone for him. And he is a father of four sons. RK Suresh, who plays one of the villains, says 'I'll kill the father before I kill the son. Muniyaandi (Prakash Raj) is a tahsildar who is misogynistic and sexist.

It reminds you of many of the movies set in rural Tamil Nadu.

Viruman too talks only about the deep sense of casteism and family disputes still prevailing in the hinterland of south Tamil Nadu. Though not casteist, the film, being set in the hinterland, has plenty of advises to men, about loving their partner, children and family. The rustic setting reminds one of Karthi's earlier movies like Paruthiveeran and Komban (also directed by Muthaiah). He excels in action scenes, but his performance lacks energy.

Karthi in Viruman. Director Muthaiya has developed a reputation as being one of the few Tamil directors, who can pull off films about rural Tamil Nadu. Yet, his ...

At the end of the day, the problems notwithstanding, Viruman is a safe film for both the makers and the audience. In Viruman, there is a scene where Thaen’s face reflects on Viruman’s dead mother’s photo – it was one of many instances where I laughed at the film. Not just the old ideas, the film also harps on the outdated formula of Tamil cinema, where everything ends on a happy note. Viruman is conflictless from the start. However, Viruman is uncontrollable, and he is moments away from going for the kill. Like all his previous films, Viruman is another straightforward film with moralistic stands and conservative ideas that are welcomed by the masses.

The actor states that these rural films are the backbone of small theatres. "When Kadaikutty Singam got released a lot of theatre owners thanked us, as it ...

Karthi confesses that he is a huge fan of the genre and this is fuelled by his longing for a joint family. When Viruman was announced it made a lot of heads turn, mainly because of the marriage of the contrasting ideologies of the production house and the filmmaker. "I had a lot of cousins in our native and one akka was so dear to me that I used to sleep in her lap. Karthi shares that making a rural film in a contemporary setting is a tightrope walk. The actor spent all his school holidays in his father's native place and he feels that these experiences enable him to bring out the villager in him. For Sulthan, he used his experience as the founder of Uzhavan foundation, an NGO to nurture farming and farmers.

Who else is going to be as devotional, as chaste and pure? The role is played by Aditi Shankar, for whom this film functions as a quick exhibition of her ...

Once the heroine gets established in a temple, it’s time for a villain scene, and then, a fight scene, and then, a comedy scene, and then, a duet… At some point in the first half, Viruman comments, “Elaam palasaa irukke…” I doubt I could come up with anything more straightforward to summarise this film with. In one serious scene, a bad guy—with intentions of causing trouble—asks the restaurant owner to bring him eggs, and the latter shows his resistance by bringing back a slate on which he’s drawn five circles. The film also stresses on the importance of ‘maanam’ (and as one song goes, ‘Viruman maanam mattum peru soththu, adha seendi paatha vizhum kuththu’). Several dozens of guys, in this film, are at the receiving end of these kuththus. A new scene shows someone lighting a vilakku in a temple and instantly, you can sense that the heroine arrival is imminent. Director Muthaiya's latest template exercise is that sort of film—it allows you time for plenty of casual musing, while it goes about checking the usual boxes.
