A top notch movie that leaves you awe struck about the way its made. A new dimension to Tamil cinema. After reading many good reviews about this movie, I watched it finally. I must thank all the reviewers! Fantastic performances by all the leads. Cheran in a never before seen role and get-up makes his character all the more interesting. And Prasanna has scored his part so well in a negative shade after Anjadhey. He is a fantastic actor who has delivered an amazing performance in this movie as well.Debutante director Rajan Madhav has done an excellent job. Though he claimed this movie to be inspired from Strangers on a train, it doesn't carry a single scene that could give us the taste of the original. A brilliant movie for all the movie lovers.

This Muran (2011) Indian Movie is Copy cat of Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train (1951)" movie.It's very pathetic that without remake rights they copied the movie.story is same but , very slight difference in screenplay. Try to make own movie director Rajan Madhav. this is not a good trend to follow. if movie like this from your own ,then it has all reason to praise it.but it's a pure and pure copy cat. don't say it's an inspiration. inspiration differs from copy cat.If want to make this concept in to different or advance one ,you can do it by buying rights from the respective authority.with proper rights it's a Remake. but without a proper rights, it's a pure copy cat.

Muran is an enjoyable entertainer. The story of death, murder, and many things make it all a very good movie to watch. Prasanna plays his part well and so does Cheran. This film is a guaranteed success of 2011. Everything fits together and all gaps are closed. Rajan Madhav and Padmesh have made this film very good to watch. The climax is the best part. Cheran's emotions and facial expressions make him a very flexible actor. This film might not be like Kalavani or Sarkar Raj in terms of interest. But Muran has enough to keep the train moving. Intensity is key. However, some people might dismiss the average soundtrack and lack of a comedian.In the end though, Muran is an absolutely amazing and outstanding film to watch. Go ahead and enjoy.

Muran is an unique movie with a new subject for the Tamil audience. the intriguing trailer increased the expectations about this movie and to my surprise the movie was up to the expectations even the unexpected expectations. because am always critical while watching regional movies.. this movie has satisfied even the intellectual viewers along with entertaining capabilities... there is some directorial magic that would bind the audience to sit and watch without questioning. which wont happen in many movies which are not commercial as well as with challenging story line. there were many scenes in the movie which are unique and novel. the movie speaks the director's confidence, clear mindedness in his way of telling the story to audience... unlike many commercial directors who put half of their faith on some over rated actors this director definitely has his own commanding style which should be welcomed and appreciated. Cheran has powerfully underplayed his role which is incredible. he has already proved that he is a finest actor in many of his past movies. he literally lives in every character he plays. in this movie i loved the scene where he gets in to a club to kill Prasanna's father. the sneaky chasing is an awesome performance.(back ground music rocks in such scenes) couldn't think of any other actor to fit in that role. the songs were unnecessary for this movie makes it drag. But back ground music is fantastic and has played an important role in every particular scenes. The friendly, boy next door, one in the family, Prasanna is now a cute, mysterious, attractive, psycho urban bloke who has an aura and charm. thats what he is in this movie and he represented all that i mentioned through his acting, style,carrying himself and expressions. Nikita has played well to the extent that i think that she played her original character..well joke apart she has done good acting. Haripriya looks like any other commercial heroine with well ironed hair in every scene..needs better acting and language skills.. i don't have complaints about the climax. the guy himself accepts the death with smiling face like he has enjoyed the thrills in life and death comes only a part of the game is justified and Cheran sign off with guilt. perfect ending.
