Meipporul Tamil Movie
This thriller shot in the US has been produced by a team of NRIs.
Sam (Krish Bala), a neuro-surgeon and Devi (Anusha) a journalist are a happy couple. It all begins one day when Devi alerts the police of a woman kidnapping a child. The kidnapper is thus arrested.
Sam meets Rajan, (Natty Kumar) an astro-physicist working with NASA at a bar. Rajan has this uncanny ability of predicting imminent danger, like the kidnapping of the Governor's son. He next tells Sam, a successful surgeon that his next patient would die.
To Sam's disappointment, his patient, a little girl dies. Sam now begins to believe in Rajan's extra sensory perception. Sam's life takes an unexpected turn when Rajan foresees his death on August 10, the cause of which will be his wife Devi, according to Rajan. Sam is disturbed, but not able to reveal his fears to Devi.
Does Rajan's prediction come true? For that do watch Meipporul.
Shot entirely in the San Francisco Bay area, the film entertains keeping the suspense till the end. There is never a dull moment in the film. With its cast of ordinary people making their debut into films, viewers can relate to the emotions portrayed by the characters. This story line deviates from the usual. The two sail through their roles effortlessly and the chemistry they share on screen is just great.
Anusha looks fresh and her expressions are cute. Krish Bala fits well into the role of a doctor. Natty Kumar as Rajan is good. And they are ably supported by Vishwa (Narayan) and his girl friend played by Ritu Bhargava. There is clean humour thrown in the dialogues. Cinematography by Chris Eldridge is breathtaking taking one on a sojourn to the US.
This is a film that you can enjoy with the family, pop corn and coke in hand. Meipporul certainly breaks away from the stereotypes and is a laudable effort by first timers.
