Maattrraan: The Milk Powder Conspiracy

History: Director Vijay decided to make a bad movie with Vikram and approached a few producers. He said he will shoot in London. Producers were not happy. Hearing this, KV Anand announced that he will team up with Suriya and shoot a movie in Ukraine which will not just be bad but be called the WORST MOVIE of 2012. That was the beginning of Maattrraan.

Maattrraan is about conjoined twins tangled in a milk powder conspiracy. The screenplay has a huge marquee titled SHIT running everywhere.

Director KV Anand has lost it completely. He was his best in KO, which was also copied from a Ben Affleck movie. After that its just downhill mister. Although his concept of having the conjoined twins is a novel idea, it totally misses the point. And then selling a genetically modified product to the Russian Olympic Athletes; and selling the same stuff in India. Ridiculous. WADA Officials please note, there is someone who is giving ideas to escape the doping tests.

For all the drama you did, shouldn't you atleast get the medals tally right. You claim in the movie that because of consuming this GM stuff, the athletes broke world records and Russia beat United States. And in the medals tally, China is number one. Russia is not even in the Top 10!!! What a genius you are. And hence I am not going to talk about direction. You have got a Razzie Nomination.

Gosh Suriya. Looking smart and young is not enough. Please choose good scripts. Did you even read this before signing up? Does it even make sense? Anyway, the scenes with the twins are marvelous. That fight around half-time was even longer than a SUN TV Mega Serial. And there isn't much to say about acting because too many things are happening at the same time. The director managed to fool you too.

Kajal Agarwal does manage to get some credit in the movie. Thankfully she is not the glam girl who smiles and romances when required. She does more than that, acting I mean. Good for you girl.

The first half is good because its has all the commercial elements of Tamil cinema. Ideally, the movie should have stopped there. It would have made money in the box office if the audience were shown just the first half. The second half is just trash.

Harris Jayaraj - for the past 12 years, you have ensured that you will always stick to 6 tunes. Hashing and rehashing for every movie.

The only person who has done a commendable job in the movie is the dad of the twins. He is fantastic. A very good choice for the script. Having been around in the industry for many years, he presents himself as a quite yet powerful character throughout the movie.

Overall: Maattrraan is a movie that should have been shelved during the story discussions.
