Reimagining "Mullum Malarum"

Not  an instant classic, but requires considerable craft, to strip the finesse, and reconstruct a satisfying Masala film, that can reach the common man in the nook and corner.

While there are a lot of enjoyable sequences, Siddarth is  a standout performance. Wow. He has redefined what a ramrod erect posture can mean. Considerable hard work, including the toning of the body, to make an extraordinary impact.

For me the greatest takeaway, is that, no matter how boring a job can be, if the person is significantly invested he can meaningfully contribute to the job. Siddarth on screen makes your Traffic inspector's job, breathe with meaningfulness and possibilities. 

For Monday morning motivation, you could just dwell on the this fact: There is no job which is boring. A job just gets defined by the way you go about applying yourself.

Thanks, Sasi, for pearls of wisdom. By the way, what is the great sense of pleasure in the mindless violence. Just helps you walk out with a headache despite watching a good film.
