vidiyum munn
has been termed as a well - made thriller film that grips the audience attention. critics have appreciated the performances of the lead actors - pooja and malavika. the film' s other cast members include vinod kishan, john vijay, amarendran and lakshmy ramakrishnan. background score is by girishh gopalakrishnan, cinematography is handled by sivakumar vijayan and editing is done by sathyaraj .
we are subjected, so often, to flat staging and the dialogue - over - all - else style of filmmaking that when someone makes a movie that actually looks like a movie, a piece of cinema, the question of how good it is becomes secondary to the sensory experience of it. balaji k. kumar’s vidiyum munn is the most excitingly staged movie since mysskin’s onaayum aattukuttiyum .
for not giving credit to the original, vidiyum munn will lose some respect from the audience. although it' s not a frame - to - frame copy, but those who have watched the british thriller can find a few similarities in the remake. nevertheless, it' s a bold film that doesn' t hesitate to tread a path very few filmmakers even aspire to walk on .

i' m convinced audio plays an important role in any movie. it can really change the dynamics and accounts for 50 per cent of the total experience ,
said kumar .
during the post - production of vidiyum munn, i studied different alternatives for the 5. 1 channel audio. auro really stood out. i was impressed by the sound quality, its simplicity and the added value it brings to the entire cinematic experience .
it’s not the usual thriller flick that you watch and forget as you walk out of the movie hall. “vidiyum munn” lingers on in your head for a long time. cut from the same cloth used to produce thrillers such as “pizza” and “yuddham sei”, it’s the suspense that guides the film to the finish line. that suspense, with the help of a few characters, is strongly weaved into a labyrinthine story that you will only appreciate when it reaches its climax .
slim and svelte pooja uma shankar, the actress with indo - lankan roots, is back in tamil films after a long hiatus. the actress, who played to perfection the role of a blind beggar girl in bala’s naan kadavul managing to win many awards for the same, is back in tamil films with vidiyum munn, which seeks to narrate the events happening in a day in the lives of two women whose lives are under threat for three reasons from four men .

khayum studios’ vidiyum munn is a thriller produced by javed khayum and written and directed by balaji k. kumar. the line on the cd cover says: “four men, three reasons, two women and one day. ” the film examines the reasons why the four men pursue the two women during the course of a day. the cast includes pooja, malavika manikuttan, vinoth kishan, lakshmi ramakrishnan, john vijay, r. amarendran and muthukumar. sivakumar vijayan has handled the camera; girish gopalakrishnan has scored the music besides writing the lyrics. sathyaraj natrajan is the editor; jayalakshmy sunderasan is the costume designer; and kannan kesavan, the vfx supervisor .
vidiyum munn is about a sex worker named rekha (pooja umashankar) who is on the run with 12 - year - old nandita (malavika manikuttan) as various men chase them, and the who - what - why scenarios suggest, at first, a nail - biting thriller. there are thrills, notably in a superb sequence in a house in srirangam where a former sex worker (lakshmi ramakrishnan) is menaced by a couple of thugs (john vijay and amarendran; i had a knot in my stomach about when, exactly, they’d unleash violence) — but the film is really a mood piece (suggested, apparently, by the british thriller london to brighton) .
girishh gopalakrishnan is the music director while sivakumar vijayan has cinematographed the film. edward kalaimani and sathyaraj have functioned as the art - director and editor (in that order) in vidiyum mun which has been produced by javed khayum on behalf of his khayum studios. the film is likely to hit the screens in a few weeks’ time from now .
sivakumar vijayan worked as the audiographer for vidiyum munn .
balaji k. kumar wanted the sound of the film to be very dynamic, as it has tense moments throughout ,
explained sivakumar .
it had to be an immersive soundscape, enveloping the audience from all directions. in mixing the film' s audio and music, i used the auro - matic plug - in – a set of upmixing algorithms – quite extensively. even after folding the audio down to 5. 1, it gives you an impressive, enhanced result. i have been in the industry for twenty years and so far i never came across a plug - in capable of doing this. it made my job a whole lot easier and definitely added to the intensity of the scenes .

music production, recording and mixing and background score for this film were done in the u. k. international singing sensation susheela raman makes her debut in tamil cinema with the song' penne', a down tempo electronica track. tanvi rao from sulk station, a band from bangalore, sings ‘theeradha mounam’, a haunting melody .
‘vidiyaadha iravu’, sung by the composer, is a progressive rock track which is good. there is another version of ‘theeradha mounam’, this time rendered by the music composer. ‘rage’ and ‘redemption’ are two soundtracks that give the audience a taste of the film’s background score .
music director girish gopalakrishnan: my first film was marina, from which the song ‘vanakkam vaazhavaikum chennai’ went viral on youtube. with a masters in film composition from leeds college of music, i did my best to make my compositions sound unique. after the audio release of the film, i am getting appreciation from different quarters .
the tamil thriller flick has been directed by debutant balaji k. kumar. the plot revolves around two women - commercial sex worker rekha (pooja) and 12 - year - old - girl nandini (malavika). rekha tries to save nandhini from child prostitution. they flee by boarding a train to escape from the clutches four men who are desperate to hunt them down for various reasons .
according to sify ,
it works big time due to characterisation, milieu and the suspense factor that the director is able to create and a great unexpected twist in the climax. the music and background score by girishh gopalakrishnan heightens the suspense and in sync with the theme of the film. sivakumar vijayan' s camera especially the night effects give it that eerie thriller feel .
according to behindwoods review board ,
the suspense element is maintained throughout with unpredictable twists being reserved for the post - interval session. the slow and enticing narration keeps you glued to the seats and towards the climax, when the knots are being untangled sans elaborate dialogues but with terse frames, you can almost hear your heart beating loudly .
rajive menon of desimartini says ,
the film' s narrative is slow but the suspense which i think was brilliantly managed throughout the film keeps you hooked from start to finish. while most thrillers across any language tend to break the suspense right before the interval bang, vm steers away from such clichés and unveils the suspense only at the later stage of the film .
appreciating the performances of the actors, indiaglitz says ,
for pooja who has been missing in the k - town circuit for quite a while now, her movie is a comeback as it has spotlighted her expertise and acting forte. known to essay intelligent and off - beat roles, pooja has taken up the challenging role of a prostitute and performed with class. however, her dubbing could have been taking care of a little better .
malavika manikuttan on the other hand is an expert for her age. handling such complex emotions with such conviction, she is truly a child prodigy! john vijay has carried himself with great confidence and aids in making the screenplay racy. and the real show stealer is vinod krishnan, which unfolds in a lauded climax .

pooja, a commercial sex worker, sheltering the young malavika, takes on a journey, and the reasons behind her run, her relationship with malavika and the ramifications and the culmination of her act are being narrated in a gripping manner by balaji in this two hour twenty minute tale .
what sets vm different from other films is its lack of a male protagonist or in other words the absence of the ingredients of a normal film viz. romance, inane comedy, liquor parties and sermons. despite all this, balaji has given an engaging product that is satisfying in many respects .
he has handled a very sensitive and stigmatized subject in tamil films with a lot of maturity. it sure is a tightrope walking for the director as a little slip on any side would have rendered the film a different hue .
there is freshness in balaji kumar’s execution with a three - act structure of his story. he establishes his characters, puts forth their conflicts and their final resolution. to balaji’s credit, he has focused mostly on his theme with no distracting unwarranted elements in the narration. the young director is a talent to watch out for .
the suspense element is maintained throughout with unpredictable twists being reserved for the post - interval session .
to the seats and towards the climax, when the knots are being untangled sans elaborate dialogues but with terse frames, you can almost hear your heart beating loudly .
pooja who makes her comeback after three years owns the screen with her body language and emotion laden voice. her vulnerable face and trembling voice add a lot of depth to her characterization .
spontaneity marks the portrayal of the young malavika manikuttan. subtle and natural reactions, effective silences and poignant expressions - malavika achieves it all! the best example is the scene in the railway compartment when pooja questions about her family. the adolescent brings a range of emotions all in quick flashes and is easily the find of the season .
john vijay is a revelation with his fantastic mercurial emoting skills who brings in a lot of joie de vivre in his scenes. vinod kishan’s steely eyes and expressions are apt for the creepy feel and lakshmy ramakrishnan and amarendran are effective in their respective roles .
humor runs through serious situations via john vijay and amarendran, with the latter at the receiving end mostly. the casual manner in which john handles situations which are ostensibly clever are well brought out .
technical team has lent its right kind of support to balaji kumar. songs of girishh gopalakrishnan blend unobtrusively as short montages while his bgm enhances the feel and mood of the scenes. a great work indeed by the musician! cameraman sivakumar vijayan’s contribution to the film with his dusty brown, sepia and steel grey toned visuals is quite significant. his camera angles and light capture are imaginative .
in sum, here is a work of a debut director which is gripping, hard hitting and even shocking but all the same, well made to give the right kind of viewing experience .

rtist, photographer, visual designer, writer, director and producer, balaji k kumar is a man of many talents. this chennai - born, los angeles based filmmaker is already a name to reckon with in hollywood. his
, a cult classic, received a tremendous response and went on to receive a host of awards .
rekha (pooja umashankar), a professional sex worker, is brainwashed by her pimp singaram (amarendran), into getting hold of a 12 - year - old to service a high - end client. though reluctant at first, she is lured by the money and the prospects of a better life .
but even as she escorts an unsuspecting nandhini (malavika manikuttan) to the client, she is filled with guilt. her conscience troubles her so much that she decides to save the girl and escapes from the city with her, but not before something goes terribly wrong .
now a bunch of ruthless killers want to hunt them down. who are these men and why are they chasing two hapless females is what forms the rest of the story .
pooja, who was last seen as a blind beggar in bala' s naan kadavul makes her comeback in tamil cinema after a four - year hiatus. she once again proves her versatility by her realistic portrayal of a seasoned sex worker who is resigned to her fate .
but it is young malavika manikuttan, who steals the show. her character is quite complex, requiring her to be bold, street - smart and defiant, while at the same time appearing vulnerable and innocent too .
there are no dramatic flashback scenes to explain how pooja and malavika manikuttan are caught in this dangerous web, but their quiet acceptance of the most horrifying events perhaps reveals even much more .
vinoth kishan, as chinnaiah, one of the villains, appears absolutely terrifying with his compelling eyes and just a handful of monosyllabic dialogues. then there is mani (muthukumar), devanayagi (lakshmi ramakrishnan) and john vijay as lankan, every one fits into their role perfectly and the results are impressive .
music by girishh gopalakrishnan is sensational; it helps create the atmosphere heightening every emotion, and maintaining the suspense and thrill. cinematographer sivakumar vijayan, a debutant, has shot most of the scenes at night in dimly lit locations that intensify the story and provide the right ambience .
the only minus would be the length and the lack of pace, despite of the deadline of 24 hours, you don’t feel the clock ticking, the sense of urgency is missing. but that takes nothing away from the anticipation and thrill you feel as each scene slowly unfolds itself .
director balaji undoubtedly is at the top of his game, narrating a tale filled with emotions; greed, lust, fear and desperation set in the backdrop of a cruel and aggressive world, where people only look out for themselves, it is either kill or be destroyed yourself .

it' s about four formidable men, who, for three different reasons are chasing after two women in one day. who are these men? how are they connected to each other? what are their reasons to track down the two women? how are these women connected to the men? will they get caught? if they do, who among the four men will wind up catching them? and, what will happen to them? these are the many questions that will get answered during its course. the plot unfolds as a taut thriller that examines the characters' vulnerability and strengths. the subplot, however, explores a relationship between a woman and a girl; rekha, the protagonist, is a sex worker who tries to rescue nandhini, a twelve - year - old girl, from the clutches of prostitution. the journey takes us through the brutality and the hypocrisy that surrounds us, which we deliberately choose to ignore - - broken homes, abuse, unfulfilled dreams, manipulation, blackmail, threat, hopelessness and paranoia. it' s a dog - eat - dog world where ...
as the plot of this neo noir thriller says: 4 men, 3 reasons, 2 women and 1 day, the narrative, having the backdrop of human trafficking brilliantly blends three reasons in the form of the stories, with some great twists and some high intellect content, having shades of films like alfred hitchcock' s
psycho
, sujoy ghosh' s
kahaani
and the recent malayalam hit
thira
by vineeth srinivasan. the film' s pace gets hampered because of the emotional quotient (the same with its malayalam counterpart
thira
) and the cg work in some scenes is actually not upto the mark. the film scores because of its screenplay by the director balaji k. kumar which grips you quite well with a shocking climax, the cinematography by sivakumar vijayan which gives you a great noir touch in every frame, the music score by girishh gopalakrishnan and the performances by pooja umashankar, vinoth kishan, john vijay and malavika manikuttan, which are brilliant and worth looking for. overall, despite rare loopholes, hollywood returned debut director balaji' s narration succeeds in making you grip, giving you good thrills and chills, making the film coming in the list of films like

this isn’t about frames filled with pretty pictures, which we usually hail as great cinematography, but about mood and texture and disorienting canted angles and all those things that affect us at an almost subconscious level. it’s about the prostitute walking away from us in lipstick - red high - heeled shoes, the long shot of a wheelchair - bound man being led to an suv, the view of a bedridden villain through the mosquito net that falls around him like a shroud, and above all, the superb gallery of unique - looking men and the close - ups they’re captured in, sometimes in front of an old - fashioned table fan, sometimes near a hissing cobra .
the pace is deliberate, and the subject matter is bracingly adult. no attempts are made to dilute the mood with comedy or romance, and except a stray line about all of us housing both god and satan, or a veiled threat in the form of a fable, there’s none of the dime - store philosophising that frequently taints our films .
the director is right to stylise this material — presented more “realistically, ” the narrative may have come off as too thin, too familiar. (or put differently, the style becomes an indispensable part of the narrative .) still, there are times i wished he’d held back. a lurid montage set to r. d. burman’s ‘duniya mein logon ko’ feels out of place in this milieu. (why not something by m. s. viswanathan or ilayaraja ?) and a slow - motion stretch in the climax is a mistake. we’re meant to be squirming with dread, and instead we seem to be viewing an arty music video .
but the performances carry the film home. pooja, with her thin, tremulous voice, is very effective as the kind of beautiful woman so battered by life that she only sees the ugliness inside her. and as her underage companion, malavika is excellent. we may wonder, at times, if she is a little too composed for someone so young, but then we remember that she’s seen and been through things that have made her grow up in a hurry .
and mercifully, her horrific plight isn’t used as an excuse for a lament about social ills. the director understands that it’s not his job to be stuffing our heads with explicit messages. he makes us think. he makes us feel. that’s all that’s needed, really .
storyline: a sex worker is on the run with a 12 - year - old girl, chased by a number of thugs ...
when rekha (pooja), a hooker, flees town with 12 - year - old nandini (malavika) after committing the biggest mistake of her life, her pimp (amarendran) is given the ultimatum to produce her along with the girl in the next 24 hours to avert a threat to his own life .
having worked in hollywood for over a decade, balaji, who had earlier directed english thriller nine lives of mara, gives the film a treatment that' s akin to the west in terms of the overall presentation .
one of the concerns of the film might be its slow narrative that runs a little over two hours. the film could' ve been shorter, considering its genre and the not - so - popular star cast. but thanks to the hypnotic soundtrack of girishh, the music keeps you hooked for the most part. his music not only heightens the suspense in the story but also serves in building the mood of the film .
instead of wasting time on explaining circumstances that led rekha to become a prostitute, balaji focuses only on the plot which is the hunt for two characters. this is very smart of him and proves that he knows how to use his craft effectively. he also avoids too many characters and throws the spotlight on only those that are linked to rekha and nandini .
pooja umashankar in her comeback role is good but she easily gets superseded by child artist malavika, who acts effortlessly as the runaway kid .
john vijay gets a little irksome at regular intervals especially with his style of dialogue delivery but he also provides the occasional laughs with his witty one - liners while vinoth kishan plays a powerful baddie with very few dialogues .

it' s about four formidable men, who, for three different reasons are chasing after two women in one day. who are these men? how are they connected to each other? what are their reasons to track down the two women? how are these women connected to the men? will they get caught? if they do, who among the four men will wind up catching them? and, what will happen to them? these are the many questions that will get answered during its course. the plot unfolds as a taut thriller that examines the characters' vulnerability and strengths. the subplot, however, explores a relationship between a woman and a girl; rekha, the protagonist, is a sex worker who tries to rescue nandhini, a twelve - year - old girl, from the clutches of prostitution. the journey takes us through the brutality and the hypocrisy that surrounds us, which we deliberately choose to ignore - - broken homes, abuse, unfulfilled dreams, manipulation, blackmail, threat, hopelessness and paranoia. it' s a dog - eat - dog world where nothing is as simple as it appears .

the thriller, directed by balaji k kumar is unanimously received well by critics but the movie could only muster a below average opening. this gritty tale about a prostitute trying to rescue a 12 year old could find some patronage in the following week if fortunes favor it .

abel garamhegyi, managing director at barco india said ,
because the human being is driven by images as well as sound, we are aiming to reach perfection in both and completely immerse the audience. and it seems like we have succeeded: bookings for halls where auro 11. 1 has been installed are much higher. auro 11. 1 is proving to be a very powerful differentiator, motivating people to come together and enjoy an overall experience instead of watching their television sets at home .
the system demands minimal hardware investments and achieves maximum results in 3d sound with a minimum number of speakers ,
garamhegyi said. “on top of that, the platform is capable of supporting future immersive standards as they become available .
naturally, we are extremely honored that this renowned crew has chosen auro 11. 1 by barco to support their ambitious project ,
