![]() ![]() Guns, unkempt hair and rough voices suitably indicate rival gangsters Guru and Thamizh Arasu at loggerheads. ![]() ![]() There's Paravai Muniyamma as well, providing some crude entertainment. Regardless of all this, Murugan stays with friend Vellaichamy (Santhanam, who cracks lewd jokes and obviously considers himself Gounda Mani's modern replacement), and promptly falls in love with Indu (Shriya, who wears bikini tops during the dream scenes, and dresses slightly only better otherwise), and plays various pranks on her, including one which involves playing Lord Rama. Almost immediately he makes the acquaintance of Thamizh Arasu (Prakashraj) and his cohorts as well: both are rival gangsters with their own stake in the underworld.

Naturally, dutiful Murugan, after the mandatory fights and introductory songs pledges to wipe away his mother's tears and bring his brother who is god knows where. In due course she worries herself to death with some problem - in this case, the loss of her first son Ganesan, who ran away from home.

Some heroes need only one movie to understand where they're going wrong others take dozens of flicks - and still fail to realise why they deliver flop after flop.Īfter the debacle of Sathyam, one hoped that GK Film Corporation would have learnt from its high profile, well-documented Tamil failure but Thoranai (loosely translated as Style), starring would-be superstar Vishal and Shriya Saran and directed by Sabha Iyappan looks like a well-worn zerox of earlier versions.
