Minnal Murali is a 2021 Indian Malayalam-language superhero adventure film directed by Basil Joseph and produced by Sophia Paul, under the banner of Weekend Blockbusters.

The film was formally announced in January 2019, but due to the extensive pre-production works, the film's principal photography took place during December 2019. Though shooting got disrupted twice following the two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic and the vandalism of a church set by right-wing groups, the makers managed to complete the shoot within July 2021. The film was predominantly shot in Kerala, with few sequences being shot at Hassan in Karnataka. The music of the film was composed by Shaan Rahman and Sushin Shyam, with Shyam also composing the background score, whereas cinematography of the film was handled by Sameer Thahir and editing done by Livingston Mathew.

The film was set for a theatrical release in late-2020, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2021, the makers announced that the film will be released directly through the streaming platform Netflix on 24 December 2021, as a result of non-existent theatrical releases due to COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The film was premiered at the Mumbai Film Festival on 16 December, before its premiere on Netflix. The film will be released in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and English languages.[2][3]

Plot

A tailor gains special powers after being struck by lightning but must take down an unexpected foe if he is to become the superhero his hometown needs.

Cast

Production

Development

"The idea of Minnal Murali was brought to me by writer Arun [Anirudhan] in 2018. Even though it was an interesting idea, it was a massive challenge to make a superhero film in Malayalam. A convincing film in this particular genre was an all set challenge, and if taken up we would have to give in our everything."

— Basil Joseph, on the scripting of Minnal Murali.[8]

In January 2019, Tovino Thomas announced that he will collaborate with Basil Joseph for the second time after Godha (2017), for a superhero film titled Minnal Murali and Sophia Paul bankrolled this project under the Weekend Blockbusters banner.[9][10] The concept poster of this film was revealed on 21 January 2019, coinciding with the actor's birthday,[11] and it is the third superhero film produced in this year, following the Malayalam new generation movement, the other two being – Anson Paul's The Gambler and Dileep-starrer Parakkum Pappan.[12][13] Basil Joseph worked on the script for the film, while Tovino became busy on his commitments in the upcoming projects. As Tovino completed works on his films, in late-October 2019, Basil Joseph started pre-production works of the film and script reading sessions had consequently began.[14] Arun Anirudhan and Justin Mathew co-wrote the script of the film.[15] Basil Joseph stated that the film drew inspiration from My Dear Kuttichathan (1984).[16]

Basil took supervision of the computer graphics-aspect during the film's scripting stage. In an interview with The Times of India, he said that "I will be working closely with the VFX team in the pre-production stage for developing the storyboards as well as understanding what is possible before we start shooting the movie".[17] Tovino Thomas said that the film falls on the comedy genre, despite being a superhero film and will be "enjoyable to all kinds of audiences".[18] He also said that "the team had planned to present the fantasy element convincingly and realistic in some manner", by saying "If you search online, you would find several instances of those struck by a lightning, experiencing differences in their lives like being able to make a bulb glow for a second or their watches stopping. So, when high voltage courses through the body its dynamics change somewhat. In that way, it's also a realistic movie."[18]

Casting

During July 2019, Aju Varghese was roped in as one of the cast members in pivotal role.[19] Varghese shared a casting call for the film's lead actress, and invited applications from the age of 20 and 28.[19] In the process, the team had cast Femina George as the heroine, whose character named as "Bruce Lee" Biji.[20][21] Tamil actor Guru Somasundaram joined the film in a pivotal role.[17] Hollywood stunt choreographer Vlad Rimburg was roped in to supervise the action sequences.[22] The technical crew consisted of cinematographer Sameer Thahir, music directors Shaan Rahman and Sushin Shyam and editor Livingston Mathew.[14] Tovino Thomas trained immensely for his role in this film in order to play the role of a superhero.[23]

Filming

The film began production in December 2019 with a puja ceremony and principal photography subsequently began.[24] The team planned to shoot major sequences in Wayanad and Alappuzha districts.[24] After completing major schedules in Alappuzha, the team headed to Wayanad to shoot the sequences further, where few portions were shot in Manathavady during February 2020.[25] The schedule was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India announced in March 2020. The shoot was resumed a year later in March 2021 in Karnataka, where a huge church set has been replicated, similar to that of a set erected in Kalady by the art direction team, which was vandalised by right-wing groups in May 2020.[26] The team continued their shooting progress in Hassan during the same month,[27] but was halted in April 2021 after Tovino Thomas got diagnosed with COVID-19, and adding to the factors were, the second wave of the pandemic with cases uprising in Kerala.[28] The team resumed shooting in July 2021, when the Kerala government granted permissions to resume film shoots, but was halted immediately as the team found to be violating the COVID-19 protocol.[29] The shooting of this film was wrapped up on 25 July 2021, with the producer Sophia Paul confirming this in an Instagram post.[30] Post-production works simultaneously began and the film's final edit was ready by mid-September 2021.[31]

Vandalism of film set

"It might be a joke, troll, publicity, or politics for some people. It was like a dream for us. Just before the lockdown the set was erected. We had been working to release the film for two years. For many days the art director and team struggled under the hot sun to construct the set, for which the producer's hard-earned money was spent. It was built after having obtained all necessary permissions. The atrocity occurred at a time when everyone needs to stand together. I had never expected that this would happen in Kerala."

Basil Joseph on the vandalism of the church set by right-wing groups, through a Facebook post.[32]

On 24 May 2020, a temporary church that had been built as part of the film's set near Kalady was vandalized by right-wing groups. The set was made at a cost of around ₹50 lakh. Several activists of Antharashtra Hindu Parishad (AHP) and Bajrang Dal took credit for destroying the Church-replica by posting on their social media pages about it.[33] AHP's general secretary, Hari Palode, said in a Facebook post that members of AHP, along with members of Bajrang Dal, had demolished the temporary church set as it was placed opposite to a temple. Palode also congratulated the district president of Bajrang Dal, Ernakulam for taking part in the "service work" of razing the church.[34][35]

Six men, including the leader of Rashtriya Bajarang Dal, have been arrested. All of the accused were levied with sections including seeking to create communal disharmony and robbery.[36][26] The prime accused in the case, who was previously arrested, was accused of 3 murder cases and many murder attempts.[37] Many from the Malayalam film industry criticized the vandalism. Kerala's chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, said that Kerala is no place for games of the communal forces.[38] The vandalism of the film set had incurred financial losses for the production team.[39]

Reviews

Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost gave 4/5 stars, wrote that In totality, Minnal Murali is a tender drama about a reluctant hero and the pain that is caused by the trivialisation of those who are viewed as the other[63]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3.5/5 stars, wrote that like all the best superhero movies, this is a coming-of-age film, where a lost child finally finds direction, knowing where he came from, and where he has to go. Minnal Murali looks like the first of many sequels, and I’m here for all of them. Perfect Christmas movie: I suggest a watch party with cake and mulled wine[64]

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 2.5/5 stars, wrote that That is how Minnal Murali saunters along, embracing an all-too-literal manner and abandoning a sense of irony as it seeks to convince us that a Batman-like superhero is par for the course in Kerala. Are we writing off the film? Not at all. If nothing else, Minnal Murali aims high enough not to fall with a thud when its wings lose strength. It manages to stay afloat even when it dips precariously low[65]
