Minnal Murali (2021)
10/10
Say hello to a new Indian superhero.
25 December 2021
Minnal Murali already had me impressed with its promos and visuals, and the viewing experience only made it better. The fact that it is at heart an Indian story instead of something intending to stand at par with Hollywood, should be enough to describe the film in fewer words. There's everything you can expect from a superhero origin story, be it the action sequences, the thrill or the visual spectacle. However, it is also very grounded and despite some predictability visible to those like me who have watched a lot of superhero movies, this is a fine watch and memorable by the time it ends.

The film's tone is perfectly balanced between funny and serious. While the VFX is not the strongest aspect of this gem, its character investment and development are first-rate. Both the hero as well as the villain are written brilliantly. Some might notice influence from popular superhero movies a few times here and there, but this is Minnal Murali, an INDIAN superhero story and the Indian feel never fades away.

The action scenes are fantastic and the background music is cool. The length never actually becomes an issue, thanks to the fine editing. All in all, Minnal Murali is a captivating superhero film studded with action, comedy, emotion and all the excitement a new superhero's first on-screen adventure demands. I would be glad if they make another one of this. Also, I hope this new superhero gets love from all across India and the whole world.
