Producer Sundar.C said that the film is the biography of Hiphop Tamizha Adhi. The trailer looks matches his words as it looks like a story of a middle class youngster inspired and supported by his father, to achieve big in music industry like Adhi. 

STORY

The movie revolves around a guy who was interested in music and he wants to become a star. A girl comes into his life while studying in the college and the turns and twists that a music director will have to become a star and what they have to go through to get to that stage comes to the crux of the story. The movie portray some of the events from Adhi’s real life. 

PERFORMANCE

Aadhi as the lead plays as himself which makes things easier and he’s just spot on in this film. Whether he could be a full time actor is something to be found only when he gets into script oriented films. 

A bunch of familiar faces from Youtube are spotted all over the movie. RJ Vignesh steals the show as his comedian friend and it won’t be surprising if he gets more movie offers from kollywood. Vivek is the familiar face amongst youngsters and the veteran actor has once again proved he’s not a mere comedian but a powerful character artist. He carries some of the kickass scenes in his shoulders with some sentiment at times. Be it the Madras Central guys or the Shaa Raa as a kind of villain, along with a fun-filled college love story makes it a good watch. Technically, screenplay and camera work is kind of not up to the mark but it’s hardly recognizable.

Technically, the music and BGM kept the foot tapping, editing by Fenny was right on the table and cinematography by duo Kiruthi Vasan and UK Senthil Kumar was laudable. 

Overall Meesaya Murukku is a simple autobiographical drama with definite punch and inspiration. It also has some cinematic clichés, but can give credit for a debutant without bothering least on the negatives. It is certainly fun to watch and entertaining as well.
