What do you expect when Crazy Mohan handles
the story and dialogues of a film –
a laugh a minute experience, nothing else!
Well, then that is what you have to expect
in Kola Kolaya Mundhirika.
The film has made no pretensions about what
it is looking to deliver – fun. We
know the Crazy Mohan brand of comedy. Not
the slapstick kind; it will be verbal jugglery
with each line carrying some kind of funny
connotation or the other and you have to
be smart to catch each and every one of
them. The last time we received the full
benefit of Crazy Mohan dialogues was quite
a while back, in Panchathanthiram. Anyone
would agree that the film had to be watched
more than once to enjoy all the jokes that
were served. We would be too busy laughing
at one funny line without noticing that
another couple had gone by.

So, what is Kola Kolaya Mundhirika all about? It will
be kind of a treasure hunt, something that has formed
the core of many thrillers as well laughathons over
the years. Karthik Kumar and co. form the protagonists’
team who are the rightful inheritors of the ‘treasure’.
But, as one would suspect, there is an antagonist’s
team as well that is trying to lay their hands on the
‘treasure’. And, in the midst of it all
there is a cop who is trying to make sense and bring
sanity to proceedings.
The cast is packed with people who are known for their
comic timing and dialogue delivery. Karthik Kumar might
be a bit of a newcomer to the genre but he has proved
his worth as an actor and with his theater experience,
he might be expected to pull off most of the theatrical
moments that are bound to occur in a comedy like this.
That apart there are people like M.S. Bhaskar, who is
in top form at the moment with films like Thamizh Padam
and IKMS this year. There is also Radha Ravi, looking
as though he is the lead antagonist. The actor’s
ability to bring in a streak of sarcasm and dry humor
even into the roughest of roles is well known. And,
as the cop we have Jayaram who excels in situations
strewn with humor. The effect that he had in Panchathanthiram
is proof enough of his skills.
So, we have a complete package for a no holds barred
comedy fest. Surprisingly, this comedy is directed by
Madhumita, the lady who made Vallamai Thaaraayo. Lady
directors are generally not expected to step into this
genre, but V.Priya did try something (though not quite
as full fledged as this) similar in Kannamoochi Yenada.
It will be interesting to watch the results this time,
especially because Madhumita is also in charge of the
screenplay. |
