Urvashi mam. Ohhhh what an acting. She acted in two extremes for soorari pottru and mookuthi amman.

crsshandres14 November 2020The 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.

sharansrinivas-g16 November 2020Mookuthi 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. -
saileash21 November 2020Nayanthara 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?? -

jamalmohamed-7846814 November 2020Very good movie with good message.
A very good family entertainer after a long time. -
GabbarAagaya14 November 2020It'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.

vender11215 November 2020Nayanthara 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.

shefali-5924419 November 2020Mookuthi 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!

sriramthestranger14 November 2020The 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!!

marvelshazamgadot18 January 2021Movies speaks truth straight but harshly. Well done and Nayanthara aptly suited for the role. There is nothing against Hindu religion in this movie.

designztrend18 November 2020Love 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

becauseimhan15 November 2020Movie 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.

kumarankulam7 February 2021After his successful political satire LKG, RJ Balaji brings us Mookuthi Amman, a fantasy comedy film with touches of politics and mythologies in it. RJ Balaji proves his brilliance as a director in Mookuthi Amman by blending interesting content with his usual comedy elements. Despite the illogical scenes, he keeps the engagement factor on by creating enjoyable moments for the audience. This is not the typical Amman movie that we have seen in the late 90s. It's a film that brings us a strong vision of people's religious beliefs. RJ Balaji stays true to the content and adds a lot of relevant elements to make it more appealing to the family audience. Mookuthi Amman has everything to shine brighter but it feels a little too slow. It takes a lot of time in establishing the characters before eventually entering the main core plot. It's after the interval that we get what we need from the film. Nayanthara is essaying the role of the lord Mookuthi Amman and she is the one who makes the film more interesting and pleasant to watch. She has a very limited screen presence but she does perfect justice to her role. RJ Balaji plays the main protagonist and his role is quite similar to the one in LKG. He is entertaining, entertaining, and really entertaining in the film. Urvashi is the one who makes us watch this film thoroughly. Her hilarious performance in the first half and her emotional performance in the second half keeps the audience engaged. Ajay Ghosh who plays the godman Bhagavathi Baba has a fine role and does his best in it. Besides the performances of the actors, Mookuthi Amman offers us a strong message towards the end which is a much-needed one for today's generation of people. Still, Mookuthi Amman has some flaws that could have been avoided for a better venture. First of all, the film starts off as a comedy entertainer but it later shifts into a serious political drama. The transition between the tones seems to not work properly and it looks like two different films. Except for the performances of the actors, we don't have really interesting moments to cherish in the second half of the film. Everything seems to be rushed and we just get the intended message towards the climax. Well, it was the only interesting portion of the entire second half. We don't need songs in this film because it doesn't fit in perfectly. It slows down the pace of the film. Overall, the performances of the lead actors will make you watch this fun entertainer which has a social message towards the end.

bingereviews14 November 2020A 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.
