Movie Review: Quick Gun Murugun
Director: Shashanka Ghosh
Cast: Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Nasser, Rambha, Anu Menon and Vinay Patakh
‘Quick Gun Murugun’ is ready for your entertainment. In this venture, the hero and the villain are at loggerheads. The flick tells the story of a fight between vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
The villain likes to make the best dosa in town and abducts the women, who have skills to make a perfect delicious dosa.
It’s not a stereotypical flick, but the fact remains that this movie borrows from all stereotypical flicks, which made Hindi cinema different from the rest of the world. In short, ‘Quick Gun Murugun’ is a ground-breaking project in all respects.
Quick Gun Murugun (Dr. Rajendra Prasad) is an unlikely superhero. A sincere South Indian cowboy, Quick Gun Murugun finds it his duty to serve and protect. The whole flick revolves around the misadventures of Quick Gun Murugun. It pours light on Quick Gun Murugun’s fight with the arch villain Rice Plate Reddy (Nasser). Quick Gun Murugun steps into an epic battle, which spans time and space, from a small South Indian village to Swarglok and then finally to the cosmopolitan Mumbai. He starts swinging between Mango Dolly (Rambha), who loves him dearly and his first love Locket Girl (Anu Menon). His loyalty’s test comes.
The film shows a war between evil and good. The characterization is straight out of the 1970s. Director Shashanka Ghosh deserves good marks for choosing a novel subject like this. The execution of the theme on the screen is splendid.
Apart from the praises, there are flaws also. The big one is much use of Tamil. Although it is explained by sub-titles, nonetheless it appears tough for the audiences who live outside the Tamil areas.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad is a treat to watch. Nasser is fantastic. Rambha excels in her role. Anu Menon is superb. Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shoery have brief roles but attract. Rest of the cast is fine also.
On the whole, ‘Quick Gun Murugun’ is great. An innovative subject, it will appeal to the masses.
