Two cheers for Bharath and director Thirumurugan for playing a winning game for the second time. The Em Mahan duo, who dwelled on family relationships in their first venture, have made a similar attempt in their latest offing too, however with some major changes.
Set in the backdrop of a rural college, the script revolves around a student, who feels that he is trapped in the ego war of two men. When the battle wants to take toll of his love affair, the decision he is forced to take is Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moondram Aandu.
Be it portraying a typical rural institution or its students or their accents, Thirumurugan proves that he is second to none. The only thing that prevents him from emerging out and out triumphant is that mega serial feel which one can feel here and there in this film.
As we already said, Bharath is a college student, whose father is always at loggerheads with another senior man in the village. When Bharath falls in love with Poorna, the rivalry threatens to snuff out the hopes of love.
Very much aware that he is part of a dangerous game that has cost lives before, Bharath vows to join hands with his ladylove. On whose side is victory is the screenplay with choc-a-bloc twists and turns.
Bharath’s character goes through an emotional roller coaster. And his perfomance gels well with the story. Fresher Poorna is fresh and has done a neat job. Ponvannan as a father proves his mettle. Though Vadivelu tries to tickle the funny bone, it ends up in quagmire.
Technically, there is nothing much to mention except Vidyasagar’s music. Quite like Thirumurugan’s Metti Oil, Muniyandi too will sounds nice among women folk, not talking about men and youth in the so called B and C centres.

What else than a flick close to real life could Sasikumar, a student of Bala and Ameer schools could deliver? Yes, Subramaniapuram is an interesting drama with no artificial characters and scenes, set in the backdrop of Madurai.
Azhagar (Jai), Paramar (director Sasikumar), Kasi (Ganja Karuppu) and a physically challenged boy living in Subramaniapuram area, a suburb of Madurai are good friends. With the support of former councillor Somu’s brother (Samudrakani), they do the odd jobs.
Circumstances make Azhagar fall in love with Somu’s daughter Thulasi (Swathy). This creates a fissure in the gang. Meanwhile the councillor’s brother uses them to murder a party rival, and fails to bail them out when they are caught by the police. This makes Azhagar & Co to take revenge. Are they succeeded is the climax.
At a time when everyone was in an idea that Subramaniapuram would be a romantic film, director Sasikumar springs surprise by taking a deviation. Slick execution, innovative camera movements and music by James Vasanthan work hard to give that feel of the 80’s.
The actors mostly freshers pass the muster. Swathy, an import from Tollywood is refreshing.
However the film moves at a snail's pace. Another draw back is that it is too bloody and gory. Apart from these two factors, Sasikumar should be appreciated for coming out with a bold and daring attempt.
