Political fantasy, that’s what we might be tempted to call Mudhalvan. That’s what Shankar is known for; larger than life cinema. A TV reporter being challenged by the Chief Minister of the state to take up his office for 24 hours and that turning out to be a huge turning point in the political fortunes of the state; Mudhalvan romanticized politics in a way cinema has not done before or after. But, the movie had the right intentions. It was made to entertain, but it also gave a strong vision on good, corruption free governance. Sadly, it has remained only a vision.
