This is the second film in two weeks where a man is married to someone he isn't in love in order to uphold his family's commitment. The film tackles ideas that have been repeated 'n' times. I remained as stone-faced as the actors of the film. When the action was going on, I wanted to laugh and the comedy scenes did little to tickle me. Muthukku Muthaaga is supposedly an action comedy. That's harmful enough to disrupt social equality. And the hero always exercises authority over other characters, which is why the animals in comparison are at the top of the food chain. Why? They ingrain into the heads of the impressionable Tamilian that, being uncivilized with animal machismo is cool. ![]() Tamil films often compare their heroes to animals, Singam, Siruthai, Puli.
