In the movies that he has done as such far, Ponram showed a skill for keeping things happy and intriguing in any event, when the story went no place. In his movies, the plot is only a garments holder for parody and vivid characters. Over the previous decade, Ponram struck up considerable cooperation with Sivakarthikeyan, whose comic planning was an ideal counterpart for the lighthearted idea of the chief’s heroes.
In MGR Magan, the characterization of the hero is the same. His Anbalippu Ravi is a cheerful person who has just one point — to show up on the first page of a paper. He is the notorious deadbeat child to his dad MG Ramasamy otherwise known as MGR (Sathyaraj), who rehearses naturopathy. For Sathyaraj, who fabricated a profession out of nakkals, MGR is a tailormade job for him as he will taunt Sasikumar’s child and add some passionate heave to the dad child relationship. Be that as it may, the equivalent can’t be said for Sasikumar, who is miscast in the job of Ravi as it requires a specific measure of comic pizazz. What’s more, this ends up being the film’s demise as the scenes among him and Sathyaraj don’t snap as they ought to. He is additionally really out of place in the heartfelt scenes. Mirnalini Ravi plays his heartfelt interest and there’s not any science among her and Sasikumar.
Combined with the composition, which feels flat and shallow, it bargains a twofold blow from which the film scarcely recuperates. Ponram appears to have depleted his repertoire, a reality that we notice in the over-reliance on film tune references to cause situations to feel entertaining. Like in varuthapadatha Vaalibar Sangam and Rajini Murugan, the chief doesn’t need things to turn out to be excessively intense, which is entirely OK. In any case, here, the main enemies are so boring — Pala Karuppaiah plays a hotshot and he has a child who is blander. In contrast, we just need to take a gander at the scoundrel character Samuthirakani played in Rajini Murugan. It was similarly managed in a half-jokey way, but, he felt offensive.
Samuthirakani shows up in this film also, like Agni, Ravi’s maternal uncle, who eggs him on and pledges to be in his shorts until his nephew prevails in his objective. It is the one person that genuinely works, as Samuthirakani — who is regularly made to convey addresses — relaxes and has a good time playing a comic companion.
