Too quick Too murugan I say!
Imagine Tamil Nadu instead of Texas. Imagine a Cow boy who is vegetarian and protects cows. Imagine a local goon who is tamil rowdy with afro wig. Imagine bullet fight that brings thrills of Rajnikant gun fights to this set up.
Thats where we begin the joyride of Quick Gun Murugan and further on it goes whackier, crazier, insane but intelligent and entertaining all through out. Quick Gun Murugan is not for those with weak palate. A heady mix of tamil, english and very little hindi, this movie spoofs stereotypes alongside making statements so smartly that its dark humour is packaged in eastman colour.
The Smart gun here being director Shashank Ghosh who gets thumbs up from me for pulling off what would have been a series of incoherent plots in hands of any other director given the same script. He uses the cliches and turns them around with such zest that result is outrageous like the typical 80s tamil film "Brothers/ friends meet after many years" sequence where bank employee elder brother and Quick gun both have a gun fight at home and the sister in law looks upon dotingly at both.
Also the quirkiness of QGM coming back from the dead, vinay being Mr. C gupta - chitragupta and depicting nymphs having dance rehearsal sessions, Locket lover - Lola Kutty's portions, Rambha's character dressed in Pink all throughout, Post coital payasam, Rowdy MBA helping retail chain owned by rogues, Best Dosa Making Mummies kidnap sequence, tiffin terrorist attacks... all are first rate in laughs. Music, art direction, camera, SFX all go with the mood of the movie though personally I think the length could have been curtailed a bit and Nassir been given something better to do as Rice Plate reddy
I recommend the movie for a dull evening with a large bunch of friends preferably one or two south indians to further dwell on the jokes from the film like the board in background of a sequence : "Institute of Coconut Tree Climbing" and Sohaib Illyasi act of Ranveer "Ab Jail ki salaakhon ke peeche Maut ki laal chutney peeso"
Watch it. I Say!
