He’s a murderer who cannot murder he’s an ambitious man imprisoned within the confines of a single day.
It’s a quiet statement on how excellence in any space, even in the real world devoid of time-travel ability, can be achieved: Hard work and repetition. I liked that even the fistfights that Khaaliq wins are not because he’s a Tamil cinema hero blessed with inexplicable combat ability it’s simply a normal man learning from hard work and repetition. STR stays away from the punchlines and the finger-wagging (vestiges of which we saw even in his last film, Easwaran), and is content to be the soft-spoken do-gooder, Khaaliq. Sometimes, good is that simple.īoth actors, STR and Dhanushkodi, sell their characters really well.
Look closely and you will see that while Dhanushkodi’s villainy stems from his uncommon lack of empathy and conscience, Khaaliq’s heroism is not a product of superhuman ability or acute intelligence or enviable physicality he’s a hero simply because he won’t quit trying to do good. Both are forced to relive the same day over and over again, but where Khaaliq has agency, Dhanushkodi doesn’t, and this drives him crazy (SJ Suryah portrays this frustration in his enjoyably exaggerated ways). The central event may be the political assassination, but its central exploration, in effortless ways, is of the two men, Khaaliq and Dhanushkodi. This film though-at whose centre there’s a political assassination-is steadfast in its refusal to sink too deep or dwell too long in existential complexities. Where a protagonist’s heroism gets accentuated by his survival against the odds, we get one whose heroism is defined by his willingness, and why, even his enthusiasm, to die. For instance, where we are used to a villain fuming over the survival of a hero, we get one, Dhanushkodi (SJ Suryah), vexed by the death of the hero. It results in some wonderful subversion of commercial cinema tropes. Khaaliq, a Muslim by birth, is said to have been born in a Hindu temple, and it’s intriguing that this Muslim should be the victim-or beneficiary, depending on your point of view-of the Hindu idea of reincarnation. After a while, the death of Khaaliq himself becomes a dark joke, and it’s fascinating to experience a story in which the protagonist, a bonafide star, gets killed over and over again. The characters are the same, and yet, the cause-effect interplay creates new, delicious situations, and associated problems. He manages to tie all these iterations and their events into a clever mystery that must be solved by Khaaliq, one step at a time. Venkat Prabhu reposes his faith squarely in the joys emergent from the time-loop idea and brings out an ace each time. Maanaadu has two stars-Silambarasan TR and SJ Suryah-and yet, no duets, love stories, punch dialogues, or why, even fight sequences that threaten your suspension of disbelief. Meanwhile, 'The Murderer's Shopping List' will be directed by Lee Eon Hee, who previously worked on the films ' The Accidental Detective 2: In Action' and ' Missing.' The screenplay was written by Han Ji Wan, who also wrote the dramas ' Wanted' and ' The Ghost Detective.'
