‘Kasu Mela Kasu’ Movie : A wannabe comedy filled with acceptable ideas with lot of fun in out and out comedy by all the characters.
A good time pass movie worth to watch and make our time joyful. After long time full length comedy film make all starting to end with us happy mood. Director’s experience shown in this film each and every scenes. Especially in dialogues.
Throughout its entertaining long runtime of 130 minutes, this KS Palani-directorial wins to evoke as much as a laughters.
Periyasamy (Mayilsamy), an idler, hopes to enjoy life as a rich man by making his son, Murali (Sharuk) – Mynaa (Gayathri), who, he thinks, is the daughter of a wealthy jeweller. Little does he realise that Mynaa is actually the daughter of a beggar
The plot of Kasu Mela Kasu is to what we have seen in films a greedy man trying to get rich through an alliance with a millionaire. The film wants to convey the message that hard work is respectable, Flat lighting and staging where every character in a scene is performed in great. Going by the primitive filmmaking and storytelling in this film in good way, it feels quite a interesting statement!
If the title, Kasu Mela Kasu, invokes good memories of Kasethaan Kadavulada remembering to the evergreen film,
The protagonist Murali (Shahrukh) gets a bizarre introduction scene: He’s reading a book with Kamal Haasan on the cover, and you see his face when the book is lowered. He is a spoilt youngster and the girl he falls in love with is a beggar-turned-housemaid. Murali is a man. He stalks girls and passes comments at women, and watches cartoon shows meant for toddlers. What’s is that he is not alone on this mission of ushaar-ing (that’s how they call it) a rich girl; his father is his love guru and the one who chooses girls for his son to pursue.
Meanwhile, the lady at whose house heroine Myna (Gayathri Rema) works, advises her to love any stalker, and says it’s her only way to leave behind her family of beggars. Scarily enough, she takes these words to heart.

If the title, Kasu Mela Kasu, invokes good memories of Kasethaan Kadavulada performing to the evergreen film ,
The protagonist Murali (Shahrukh) gets a bizarre introduction scene: He’s reading a book with Kamal Haasan on the cover, and you see his face when the book is lowered. He is a spoilt youngster and the girl he falls in love with is a beggar-turned-housemaid. Murali is a man. He stalks girls and passes comments at women, and watches cartoon shows meant for toddlers.

Meanwhile, the lady at whose house heroine Myna (Gayathri Rema) works, advises her to love any stalker, and says it’s her only way to leave behind her family of beggars. Scarily enough, she takes these words to heart.
The torture reaches a whole new peak when Murali’s father casually asks him to record his private moments with his lover and he nods in complete acceptance. Even the characters on-screen get furious after a point and start voicing what’s on the audience’s mind with dialogues like, “Pullaike broker vela pakuriya?” and “Ne avanku appa va mama va?”
The technical departments of Kasu Mela Kasu offer no respite either. The sudden insertions of random footage from yesteryear films make us wonder if the film is actually the editing exercise of a teenager, but we are still relieved to get some glimpses of more competent films.
In one exchange between Mayilsamy and Swaminathan, after a long unprovoked laugh of the latter, the former asks, “Naan dhaan eduvume panalaiye, yen siriche?” to which the latter replies, “Apdi dhaan naan summave sirippen.” This film seems to have been made assuming the audience will do the same.
