Mersal 2017 directed by Atlee Kumar is a movie with a good message on medical field and Tamil culture.
Messages
Highlight of this movie is the underlined messages. The opening scene begins with Illyalatalabathi Vijay was suspected because he was wearing an Indian traditional attire at the airport. The western police stopped Vijay from traveling but after they knew he is a great doctor, they salute Vijay and regret. Vijay said that if the problem is in his attire, he is not going to change. It is a great message to preserve our culture.
The main message is on medical field. Many corruption in India's medical field is highlighted. Sadly, the issues are really happening in certain countries. Medical from social service became a business. Few issues are highlighted and its actually unbelievable and quite heart touching. The message is everyone should be treated equally and gain equal treatment.
Recently, many are talking about the need of a Hindu temple without realizing that Hindu temple is the symbol of culture and it can actually form a proper individu with vedic knowledge and talent. Vijay fights for Hindu temple over a factory. At the end, he built a hospital in the temple as there is a need for it. Yet, the temple was installed in the hospital and he symbolises the hospital's building as a temple and doctors as Gods. The message is if there is no temple, Hindus will lose their culture, dignity and even great vedic knowledge.
Cast
Many topstars were shown in this movie such as Samantha, Surya Sj, Sathyaraj, Kajal Agrawal, Nithya Menon, Vadivelu and etc. Unfortunately, not everyone gained chances to outshine as there is no much role given to each character. Vijay dominated the whole plot as he is playing 3 vital roles. The topstar made a great impression by playing role as a humble doctor, haughty magician and lovely familyman. Nithya menon grabbed the audience's attention by acting as a housewife in a great way. Surya Sj is not a favorite hero but he proved he can be a great villain. As usual, Samantha's joke made a lasting impression. Other roles didn't impact much.
Songs
There are two songs that are quite nice such as Alaporan Tamilan and Mersal Arasan
Plot
Not a boring a plot and has relevant sequencing. Should be watched in the theatre. Excellent movie with 8/10 moview stars. Vijay's fan enjoy it and please learn something from the given messages.
