  • Urvashi mam. Ohhhh what an acting. She acted in two extremes for soorari pottru and mookuthi amman.
  • The plot was really great and the message the crew wanted to convey was successful. But, the cinematography and pace of the story should have been improvised...Continuation between scenes wasn't that good... And the villain's character could have been much more strengthened.. He didn't give a villain feel to me apart from his looks.
  • Mookuthi Amman starts off with an alluring promise. Over 43 km of land is being bought by a so-called swami, much like Osho did in the US back in the 1970s. RJ Balaji plays a reporter named Engels (named after yes, Engels, co-writer of the Communist Manifesto). At this point, I thought we were off to a great start. Balaji's going to tackle both religion and snidely attack political ideologies. But, that's not where the rest of the movie goes.

    From the minute, the titular Mookuthi Amman arrives onscreen, the whole movie witnesses a tonal shift. Till the end, I never knew if they were still doing this with satire on their minds. By they and their, I refer to the makers. Whatever the case may be, I was not pleased with the post-production. The dubbing and lip-sync is terrible in a lot of places. Balaji's over-the-top comic-riddled performance didn't help either.

    There are some interesting things to talk about but the question remains "is the movie any good?" The answer, after a lot of hesitation, is no. Mookuthi Amman is largely a misfire. I assume this was because of a lack of focus. With LKG, they seemed to have a script that knew what it was talking about. Here, it feels like a hotchpotch of many ideas stuffed into a piggy bank made out of clay.
  • Nayanthara does nothing but walk around in Lalitha Jewelery and Saravana Stores Sarees.

    RJ Balaji does his usual bit about being the angry young man. He acts well and is funny at times (His Dialouge where he talks of Ammans objectives of Reforms in India - had me in splits). His emotions, His Suppressed Anger are all excellent for comic relief.

    The Baba Actor is the usual caricature mixture of Nithyananda and Ramdev. It is Urvashi who steals the show. Her emotions, her comedy is flawless. Simply flawless. As a mother desperate to save face from embarrassment who resorts to lying all the time - she is perfect and her sorrows when finally, being confronted by her son is also priceless to watch.

    One questions remain why was the fun targeted at Hindu Rituals or babas? Others??
  • Urvasi acting superb.. Sema fun movie after long time.. enjoyed..
  • Very good movie with good message.

    A very good family entertainer after a long time.

    It's a one time watchable film, Nayanthara looks beautiful and perfectly suited as Amman. RJ Balaji does what he does best, Urvashi maam comedy timing is great. The movie suffers from pacing, the beginning portions are entertaining but it loses the steam gradually especially in the second half. The comedy also drops as the movie progresses. The bgm is fine sometimes loud, cinematography is neat. The film also looks to be inspiration from other films of the same kind but has a different feel. You can give it a try with minimum expectations.

    Worst
    This is the worst movie I have ever watched. Based on loose story and faulty screenplay.
  • The movie starts like a typical tamil movie... But ends up delivering a good message for our society... Enjoyed a 2 hour run without a lag or boring moment.. A worth watch movie... Loved it
  • Nayanthara is the best option and her next-door-girl-like-God role is perfectly fitting her. Oorvasi's acting needless to say yet have to be mentioned throughout the movie especially in 2 places. But we can enjoy her character throughout the movie. Qudos to RJ Balaji's acting and directing this movie as a God movie is outstanding. The movie was treated as a wholesome entertainer. The God scenes created goosebumps really after a long time. BGM is one of its cause. There were physically many people present in the shots, being a beginner director, it's nice that he could handle this much crowd in the movie. Voice sync was less with the girls. Overall, it would have been a treat if seen in cinemas.
  • Only for Urvasi madam..she performed extremely....
  • Warning: Spoilers
    Mookuthi Amman begins with an unexpected bit of lyricism, in a voiceover about how we know if God is happy with us, or how we know if God is angry with us. The lines involve pongal and cashew nuts, rain and schooldays - I thought RJ Balaji, who has directed this film with NJ Saravanan, was venturing into a direction very different from where he went with his last outing, the blockbuster satire LKG. A card at the beginning quotes a number of inspirations: "Bruce Almighty, Bedazzled, Groundhog Day, Wild Wild Country, The Story of God with Morgan Freeman, The Invention of Lying, Dogma, Oh My God, The Brand New Testament, and the filmography of directors Shankar and Rajkumar Hirani." Maybe Balaji has put all these movies in a mixie and come up with a brand new formula!

  • The plot starts right from scene 1 where a Godman is trying to confiscate a land area. But, the humor and best scenes are taken up RJ Balaji's family and Urvashi. The first half is laugh riot and gradually moves towards the usual Godman zone. The movie is well written to fit in the commercial 'masala' genre and RJ has given his best performance. But, the last 30 minutes looks like a mashup of Oh My God, PK and other similar films. While LKG had something new to offer like the political analyst, this movie gives only lectures and social message like countless other Tamil films. Expected something better from RJ Balaji & friends!!

    Movie has many laughable moments and some point/realizations that they make are definitely true.

    Some stuff like fake Baba's and people blindly going behind them is well addressed in this. Fake Baba's are so obvious! When you know that they are business minded, why go behind them? Some other points like, god being angry because you prayed to one god instead of another is just absurd lol. There are so many faults in this one statement itself, but in short, just be faithful to the one god that you believe in (or don't, upto you). Do not believe everything that you see in this movie as it doesn't portray all necessary truths about the religion either.

    Just watch it as a normal movie and enjoy the comedies light heartedly. The jokes were pretty nice and the storyline was pretty nice too. A good family movie which can definitely be enjoyed by many.
  • Good Movie but too dragging and songs us not needed in some place.One time watch.

    Love nayantara acting as Amman in this movie. "Paartene" song is amazing. I repeated some of the movie scenes like when Amman dissappear in front of camera. This movie better than most of the tamil film that focuses on romance
  • Movie started off well, first half was filled with comedy, second half was bit messed up because of inconsistence in the screenplay. Overal, a good movie, one time watchable.
  • Someone should take movie to demonstrate how Christian Pastor fool people and do conversion
  • pragadeshayyaswamy14 November 2020
    Beginning was slightly slow and normal asusual with the normal film But they concluded in a good way of manner to the current trend and about the belief where it uplift the movie to slightly better film Overall it seems to be good😁
  • Movies speaks truth straight but harshly. Well done and Nayanthara aptly suited for the role. There is nothing against Hindu religion in this movie.
  • Why always targeting Hindu gods and showing in a bad light?
  • A refreshing take on devotional comedy. God knows we've had to live through bad VFX with the goddesses performing paltry magic tricks, insanely loud laughter and pet snakes popping out of nowhere. Glad Tamil Nadu is catching on with the trend of OMG in Bollywood. The movie is highly relatable to urban and rural audience in one neat little package. Every RJ Balaji dialogue in the movie reflects the candor and naiveite of a common man. Urvashi killed it with her quick wit and uncanny performance. The sister asking for a day's leave would resonate with every household. Finally, the god herself, Nayanthara's expressions with the BGM would put all heroes of TN out of business. The subtle hit on Christian missionaries in the name of schools, hospitals and prayer centers could have been more of a loud bang. Overall, the movie does not have one dull moment. Hope Kollywood dishes out movies like this for festivals like Diwali and Pongal rather than stereotypical hero worship movies.
