Newbie Balaji K Kumar presents a well-written suspense thriller that engages its viewers from the word go.

 

Balaji K Kumar has taken inspiration from Hollywood flick London to Brighton for his debut movie Vidiyum Munn. Like many, the director too fails to give credit to the original version. Nonetheless, he has tweaked the story with all the native sensibilities to cater the local audience. The end result is that the Tamil flick has turned out to be a best crime thrillers in the recent history.

Rating:3.0/5

Cast in the same mould of recent thrillers like Pizza and Yuddham Sei, the suspense part in Vidiyum Munn perfectly holds the suspense part to the end. The twist and turns keep you hooked through a minimal characters. Audience will not forget to appreciate the climax and the thrilling parts in the Tamil flick.

 

Balaji K Kumar brings in his Hollywood experience to his script. The director, who had earlier made English thriller Nine Lives of Mara, gives a presentation that is tried and tested in the west. Well, that doesn’t mean that all is well in Vidiyum Munn. The main problem in the screenplay is the slow narration and the length of the flick is a worrying part as he makes you to sit for above two hours.
