Movie was OK. First half was more gripping than second half. Arulnidhi is good.

Agreed, but still I liked it very much. What very slighlty disappointed me was the climax which again was good but could have been great. The movie moves in a mildly heavy way which would have been complemented properly if only the climax was tweaked dramatically. Arulnidhi has to be appreciated for his work but he has to develop his dialog delivery. If he continues choosing films in a clever way then we may never know where he might end up as I believe Tamil industry relies more on brains than looks when compared with Telugu and Hindi.

This film has been written cleverly enough to keep the expectations on the edge till it gets over and we can't say that it doesn't do justice but the potential it builds for itself never gets satisfied. If Mouna Guru had a song like "kangal irandal" and a hard-hitting climax it too would have been praised and hailed as a trendsetter like Subramaniapuram did. Why I am getting so worked up with the climax is I felt it to be kind of unsettling at least with regards to Arulnidhi's character.

But apart from that I found this movie extremely enthralling and being honest to itself. It doesn't take itself too seriously which always works out. At times I got reminded of Mysskin's films and one other film in particular: Raam.(might be a spoiler)

A definite catch. Mouna Guru might catch up in 2011's best list too.
