reading super hero comic books inspired him to make such a film. Mugamoodi is
about an ordinary teenage guy, Anand known as Bruce Lee who initially came with such a get up to
impress a girl he admired but unfortunately he clashed with Angusaamy and his
robbery team; kills Anand’s friend which situated Anand to maintain the
Mugamoodi get up to revenge Angusaamy and also to hide himself from police.
Mugamoodi casted by Jiiva as Anand known as Bruce Lee, Pooja Hedge as Shakti,

more.
The film mostly based on night
sequence and the visual was simply impressive which able to give the night
thrilling emotion to the audience. The credit should go to the Cinematographer
Sathya; the lighting really plays important part in this film because holding a
lot of night sequences. The blue and yellow lighting make the visuals more
happening and adaptive. ‘Vaaya Moodi Summa Iruda’ song visualization was fulfilled
with beautiful creative shots and the locations are very fresh to the audience
which really adds credits to the film. Sathya showed the intro of Mugamoodi
with beautiful movements and angles; this sequence is very important to the
film because here the Mugamoodi were exposed to the audience and it must create
a positive reaction from the audience as a first impression over the super hero
character.
Mugamoodi songs and background
scores was composed by young musician Krishnamurthi known as K. Background
scores also plays important part is this film as booster for the intro of Mugamoodi
and also for the action sequences. ‘Vaaya Moodi Summa Iruda’ song as cream of
the cake in this album which earns good response from the audience. Director
Mysskin is very clear what the needs of the story; he just slotted only two
songs in this film. ‘Naatule – Bar Anthem’ song is sung by Mysskin himself and
the song got touch of ‘Kannadasan Karaikudi’ song from his previous film
Anjaathey in case of concept and choreography. It seems Director Mysskin
interested in bar songs and he like to have that kind of songs in his films.
Another important element in Mugamoodi
is the stunts that involved in this film. In another side, Mugamoodi also is a
film for martial arts, Wing Chu. The stunts were choreographed by Tony Leung
from Hong Kong. Tony Leung is very experienced stunt master and also has worked
with Bruce Lee in the film ‘Enter the Dragon’. Stunt movements been visualized
very closely and various angle and that support for the sequence to form as
full action pack sequence for the film. In other part, Mugamoodi costume was
designed by Gaebriella Wilkins, who has worked with Disney land and Cirque du
Soleil. The blue black costume suits the film climates very well to visualize
beautiful dark and shadow shots and also to show Mugamoodi as super hero
impressively.
Mugamoodi edited by Gaugin. The
story running is up and down. Some sequences were a bit draggy and incomplete.
Especially the stunt sequence between Angusaamy and Master Chandru; the story
never tell how Angusaamy killed master Chandru. The stunt sequence was handled
very well by Editor Gaugin. As casting part, Jiiva has put good effort for
highlighting then mugamoodi character especially learned Wing Chu and wearing
the weight costume. Pooja Hedge as
Shakti role also noticeable because she is the main reason for the form of
Mugamoodi who initially just came for impresses her. Director Mysskin has
narrated and brought the script very well. His style of direction can see very
well in Mugamoodi. This film produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy
Kapur under the studio UTV Motion Pictures.
