It's been a while since we were all treated with a Selvaraghavan flick. So quite naturally, Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam had managed to create decent buzz prior to its release, I thought the film is blessed only with Selvaraghavan's writing , But I could see his style in every frame from every actor's performance to execution.

I checked the reviews before I watch the movie. Ibntimes , critic boards and other top review boards have given positive reviews for the movie which raised my interest in watching this movie and am happy after watching it.. "Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam" features Balakrishna Kola and Wamiqa Gabbi in the lead roles.

The film explores the love story that takes place in the life of a married couple. The film centers about Manoja (Wamiqa Gabbi), an independent and bold woman, and Prabhu (Balakrishna Kola), an old- fashioned guy, who are brought together in an arranged marriage. How the two contrasting characters bond forms the rest of the story. The result of this is both riveting and fascinating.

The movie has Amrit's music. The film will have the most romantic musics by debut music director Amrit , which is going to stay on your personal players for long time. Cinematography and editing – Sridhar and Rukesh, both together gave a good feel.

Director of photography, Sridhar's Color scheme is vivid to say the least, glowing in saturated reds and greens with accents of blue and yellow through out the film. It's beautifully executed and works hand-in-hand with plot and tone, putting us in a warm world when appropriate, then shifting to a cooler look as the emotional emphasis shifts. Sridhar's visuals are more Theme and tone driven than texture driven that externalizes the emotions of the characters all the way.

While its a known fact that we can expect a very nice story from the ace director, I would sure give an applause for the performance of the heroine of this film, Wamiqa is not just another North-Indian import. If everything goes well with the actress, she is bound to make use of her beauty and talent to fetch bigger roles and films.

A fairly simple story with moments to cherish and performance to be adored, MNM is a new-age film with Selva's hard-hitting nuances and blatant pragmatism. It is because of your hypocrisy getting testified, MNM earns a watch. Selvaraghavan's writing , Gitanjali Selvaraghavan's direction, Wamiqa's performance, Sridhar's cinematography and Vasanth Rukesh's editing along with UJ Murugan's art direction give us a colorful emotional blend to watch on the screen. Gitanjali's ability to concise Selva's deep emotions into a film needs praise.

I have just one question to the supposed 'artistic' genius of Tamil Cinema. Of all the decent humans in this world, why does your heroine HAVE to fall for her rapist ????

Seriously, though are you a rape apologist, Mr.Selvaraghavan ? Or are you a pervert who fetishes rape as some sort of romantic interlude ?? How can you imagine that it is possible for a rape survivor to think of his/her assailant with anything else but disgust and anger and/or fear ? Extremely disappointed in you. In Tamil government's censor board. In Tamil cinema as a whole.The Tamil cinema has been running on a staple of violence being portrayed as romance for a long time now. But this one takes the cake. Why, you ask ? Because its 2016 and one of the most promising directors of our Cinema is dealing the same garble out as art.
