Thunai Mudhalvar Review

Cast: K Bhagyaraj, Jayaram, Shwetha Menon, Sandhya, Junior Balaiah.Direction: R Vivekanand.Genre: Comedy.
Synopsis: A man, who is elected as an MLA, stages his own death so that his remote village will reap the benefits of the largesse that political parties will bestow on the place when a by-election is announced.
Movie Review: Thunai Mudhalvar is set in a fictional village called Manjamaakaanoor and it is one of the very few things that the film gets right. Because the people living in the place are just that — manjamaakaans (idiots). The village is cut off from the mainland by a river and because no one built a bridge to go across, the place is without amenities like school, hospital and so on (though oddly enough, the homes have satellite television!), and so, the people here are just illiterate doofuses. We are asked to believe that they are so dumb that they will believe that Titanic is a brother-sister drama like Paasamalar, when Periyapandi (Bhagyaraj), the only person to have studied until third standard, says so! Periyapandi has a cousin, Chinnapandi (Jayaram doing his best buddy act), whose fiancee is Rukmani. She is played by Sandhya, whose career continues to plumb the depths after her remarkable debut in Kaadhal.
Periyapandi and Chinnapandi are the inseparables in the place and to ensure that they get a bridge built, the people decide to elect the former as their MLA.
