Subtitle: Balancing Heroism on Screen and in Reality
Plot Unfolded:
Dr. Veerababu, a herbal entrepreneur with a heart for the destitute, embarks on a mission to find his cousin’s missing child during wedding preparations with Mahana. The narrative takes a bold turn as Dr. Veerababu confronts a vast child trafficking network, striving to dismantle it and rescue innocent lives. The film, titled ‘Mutakaruthaan,’ commercially explores the intricate tale of heroism against a dark backdrop.
Heroic Dichotomy:
Dr. K. Veerababu, a real-life hero during the pandemic, steps into the reel world. While applauding his intent, the review questions the choice of a heroic role, suggesting a potential tarnish to his real-life hero image. It contemplates the celebration he could have received in a more suitable role.
Ensemble Cast Dynamics:
Mahana, as the heroine, has limited screen time, while Super Subparayan, the villain, appears somewhat outdated in his portrayal. Samuthirakani’s special appearance elevates the film, contrasting with the laughable scenes featuring Mayilsamy. The biting yet laugh-out-loud comedy by Sams, Kadhal Sukumar, Ambani Shankar, and Venkal Rao adds a unique flavor.

Arul Selvan’s cinematography is deemed ordinary, raising questions about the film’s production quality. The soundtrack, featuring Palani Bharati’s lyrics and music by Chilipi, complements the narrative. The background score aligns seamlessly with the storyline, enhancing the overall experience.
Directorial Touch and Social Commentary:
Directed by Dr. K. Veerababu himself, the film addresses the challenging issue of child trafficking. It questions the condition of kidnapped children and the efficacy of rescue efforts, shedding light on the grim statistics—every 7 minutes, a child is kidnapped in the country.
Verdict:
“Rumaparatthan” is a compelling narrative of a hero’s quest against child trafficking, with Dr. K. Veerababu balancing his real and reel heroism. Despite some technical shortcomings, the film’s social commentary and impactful performances make it a worthwhile watch.
