after "Aaranya Kandam", this one is brilliant try at making offbeat films in Tamil cinema. director's work is really commendable and he is one among many who needs to be encouraged. though the film might seem to be inspired from "city of god" and Guy Ritchie's film "the lock stock and two smoking barrels", the director hasn't flopped ultimately in showcasing a quality film. the has been many instances of failure in making a film by getting inspired from Hollywood movies, but this one is surely an exception.those who haven't seen the above mentioned films will really find it fresh.everyone who has the intent to encourage quality films and who don't believe in the success of mass hero's commercial films(which is an absolute waste of time from my perspective) , please watch it!! its only for you guys..

WARNING : THIS REVIEW MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Now..
THIS IS A HILARIOUS MOVIE!!!
I enjoyed it thoroughly laughing uncontrollably almost each and every scene, clapping my hands here and there, which is something that i very rarely do. Its a wonderful mixture of dark humor , satire, straight humor, light humor and subtle humor.
The screenplay is a little dragging ; the graph of the viewers interest should climb up in any movie but here it is just a straight horizontal line and that is because the main motive of the protagonists lacks sentimental value. This central curiosity element has been turned into a comic charade which of course makes us laugh BUT we do not CARE.
This movie scores on so many levels –
The performance of every single actor in the movie is great! MY KUDOS TO – Vellai (Rajaji), Boss'u' (Naveen ), Sendrayan (The opening batsman), Kuberan, the doll thief with job ethics,'auto Kumar' (Sanjeeve), everybody in the hostage family & the REST OF THE CASTING. My hats off to the 'CELL PHONE GIRL' Rindhiya Sivabalan! I would watch MOODAR KOODAM any number of times just for the sweet performance of that cute little girl! WHEN the performance level of all the artists are so awesome in a comedy movie, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. But still.. there are more and much more..
The short back stories carefully placed through the movie, shows the height of creativity of the director who has also written the script. There is freshness & innovativeness in the art of movie making in this movie which makes it secondary only to 'PATHINAARU VAYATHINILAE'. Some cynics might disagree but i do not care.
So much said.. VISUAL PRESENTATION of the movie is also obviously very good. Congrats to the cinematographer and the graphics & animation team.
Music by Natarajan Sankaran is commendable. The romantic number 'kannodu kankal mothi vandha vetkam' is a haunting melody; singer Srinivas at his best. The background score adds life to the visuals.
Editing is brilliant.
The visual feel of the back story of Vellai's (Rajaji) lost love is so painfully sweet that i wish, the director would make 'EPISODE VELLAI: MOODAR KKODAM' a separate new movie.
Last but not the least.. DIALOGUES. Fantastic Mr.Naveen!. A brilliant knock by the captain!. "Can i borrow your pen please?!".
I WISH THE DIRECTOR DIRECTS A COUPLE OF SEQUELS OF 'MOODAR KOODAM'.
THIS MOVIE IS THAT GOOD. PERIOD.
Kollywood marches to unconventional movie making these days. Must say that was quite impressed to view a movie so good taken in a limited budget. On one end, there are movies filled with number of songs, foreign locations, expensive sets, big stars, glamorous women and techies but terribly fails in script and screenplay. The director of the movie, a newbie, has given the audience a movie in 'almost' a single location (a house). It reminds me of the Tarantino's style in Reservoir Dogs. I strongly recommend the audience to watch this movie at least once but PARENTAL GUIDANCE is strongly recommended if children watch the director's cut like me which I would recommend. One tiny-teeny demerit in this movie is about the director's character which falls behind certain scenes, I feel. Watch out for goofy 'Sendraayan' and the little girl's character, she's cute as hell.
