MAYAKKAM ENNA

                                                             

                                                               MAYAKKAM ENNA

MAYAKKAM ENNA means why this destruction of mind. It may also mean why this intoxication.  It also means a confusion in nature. Frenzy , perplexity as well as dizziness fit the meaning. THe title aptly fits the movie.

A pregnant wife wakes up from sleep to find her husband breaking down furniture and different things in a rage. She tries to stop him. He pushes her. She falls down which results in abortion. The husband turns back to find blood spreading and his wife in pain. She faintly murmurs "doctor" .The husbands friends  come to rescue and escort her to hospital. The husband shocked, confused,, intoxicated... remains alone in the room for days. A few days later he wakes up to  a noise of cleaning the floor. He sees his wife cleaning the blood stains of abortion. What follows defines this movie and shocks the viewer. The acting is top notch and the director should be commended and in  fact honoured for presenting emotions in such a blend of shock , hatred and sympathy.

what a movie. 

I don't know Tamil. yet this movie proved language is no barrier to understand a mans effort to present human emotions. Mayakkam enna is a portrayal of friendship, betrayal, love and saving love. I am able to understand the core of the movie. I am in one way unlucky not to learn tamil. For definitely i missed humour quotient as well as the strength of the dialogue. I understood the movie by its visuals , characters and emotions. Yet it touched my heart. 

The background score and the music are really awesome. The photography ..what can i say..its the visual mastery of this film that makes you glued. 

Dhanush and Richa performed as per the the demands of the role. The friends roles are also well made and the actors performed very neatly. 

Director selvaraghavan has come up with a movie that takes him and places him among the ranks of the greats. In the future this movie will be remembered for ---its content---its performances--its courage to present human emotions honestly......its soul stirring music...its photography. 

Take a bow..selva

The protagonist (Dhanush) knows the horror he committed and allows the fate take its revenge. He bears every brunt of it and emerges as a perfect man.

This is a tale that showcase how imperfections ruin relations as well as the human beings.

This is a tale that showcases how love and friendship make you realise your imperfections and provide a way to the future.

few movies dare 

 Mayakkam Enna is one such. watch it even if you don't know Tamil
