Massu Engira Masilamani

First of all, the film received a lot of negative reviews and was regarded a flop, but it was a highly entertaining commercial entertainer. The film had almost every single genre in the film which includes Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Thriller, Romance all in one film. The screenplay is really racy but the film gets its emotions right especially in the second half, both the ghost flashbacks and the lead characters flashback work very well. Venkat Prabhu probably comes up with the best ideas for his films where in Mankatha, he uses the heroes greed to come up with a unique interval block and here he uses the ghosts and comes up with unique heist sequences and jokes successfully. Venkat Prabhu is one of the best when it comes to ideas. There are a lot of logic confusions in the film but if you can dismiss it than you will definitely enjoy it. Otherwise you may end up being disappointed if you start looking at it in a logical manner. The main logical screw up the filmmaker made was having ghosts be able to touch something in one scene, and then not be able to touch it in the other. However had the little logics been corrected, the film would have been a blockbuster. The bonding between Suriya and Premgi work very well, and the Piravi song sequence is very touching. An action packed film with every single genre will definitely entertain if you ignore all logical issues.

Mass movie is great and Suriya performance and acting is really super. I loved this film very much. Surya sir is a brilliant actor. He played excellent character (shakti&mass). Masss movie is really excellent. I like this movie very much..... Great job Surya sir..., I like mostly the character of shakti and what a appearance of shakti character...Mass movie is really mass . Basic ah I'm surya lover . Loved it . Connected to storyline good n superb n nayan n pranita had a good roles . Superb surya anna n the whole team .The scene before piravi song made me cry, awesome in all aspects, overall the movie was just awesome, but i don know why it made an average business at box office!!!

I truly don't know what is the original title. 'Mass' or 'Masss' or 'Massu' or 'Massu Engira Masalimani'. Since 'Mangatha' I haven't seen any Venkat Prabhu's films. He has lost his midas touch. His films are used to be youthful and fun, but not anymore. This was a different than his usual theme, but did not deliver. Particularly, I hated the graphics. Those CGI characters ruined the film in the initial part, I thought it was a very cheap thing I ever seen in a big production film. The action sequences were so stupid as well. The comedies were okay, but still it had lots of references of old films. So you can't enjoy them if you are not familiar with the original. Surya is a very dedicated actor that you would find in Kollywood today, but the filmmakers are not using that properly. Compared to any other actors, he does many varieties of films. I watched it only for him and nothing else. I appreciate the experimental theme, but they did not get a better screenplay. The storyline looked decent, especially the flashback, but did not develop well. Like what the title hints, it was too much mass which suits better for Tollywood fans. Might be Surya fans or Venkat's would like it, sadly I'm not one. Surely you will have some laughs, other than that this is not good. So skipping it is not a bad option. 3/10

Alright so this movie begins as a non-genre movie. U cant guess what this movie is about. the first few minutes is just for fun warm up like part. Then comes the starting point to the story-line. At this point you would have guessed what genre it belongs to.Yes Horror-comedy. It is something new that Surya and VP crew have tried out. I appreciate him for that. the movie has a lot of twists and turns in it which i obviously will not reveal even though i have checked the *spoiler alert*. The movie is funny until Surya turns his hairstyle. Confusing? Watch the movie and you will know. Then comes the villains. You will only get to see the main antagonist in the second half. The movie is a sure pick for movie lovers. Most dint look like villains though. The best thing about this movie is the viewers will not be able to guess in most scenes. The first half however, is very enjoyable then comes the second half. Second half makes you wait for the next scene to know what will happen. As for the music, Yuvan has done a good work. This will mark his comeback as well as his whole team's. Just 3 songs but all are very enjoyable. as per surya this is his comeback since singam 2. Premji has done a good work. His best role in his career as of yet. On the whole the whole team of Venkat prabhu has given a good comeback from their previous failure Biriyani. Here are the flaws, like in most commercial movies nowadays, the heroine loses her place, she comes in like a cameo actress. No importance for her. Some unwanted song and very few unwanted scenes makes it a little longer. Some antagonists seem little funny to believe them to be villains. On the whole, the movie is a good entertainer and a comeback for Surya and everyone who worked in VP's crew. Please say no to piracy and watch it in cinemas. :)

Plot Line : Things get wrong for a conman when he gets deceived by a ghost. Shortly, "Masss" is totally a one man show performance delivered by Suriya. He is simply electrifying throughout the film. It is Suriya who engages the audience till the climax even though the script is half baked. But director Venkat Prabhu deserves a applause for trying out a different dimension in Tamil Cinema. Overall, the director could have concentrated more on the screenplay part. There are equal number of pros and cons in this film. Suriya's performance, Visuals, Twists and Background score are the major positives of the film. The negative part of the film is illogical scenes and old run of the mill concept which was followed in the second half of the film. The content of the film is mainly intended for kids and family audience. Overall, forget the logics and take your family out to theaters. It could be a watchable entertainer for you.

The story then shifts to Masilamani aka Massu (Suriya) and his friend Jet Li aka Jettu (Premgi Amaren) who are small-time con artists. Massu meets Manini (Nayantara), a nurse and they subsequently fall in love. While trying to escape after a heist gone wrong, Massu and Jet meet with a car accident, post which Massu starts seeing dead people, with whom he can communicate. Jettu had died in the accident and is now a ghost, too. One day he meets a ghost called Shakthi (also Suriya), a Sri Lankan Tamil and look-alike of Massu. Shakthi initially seems to help Massu to pull off a large heist. While Massu is furious with Shakthi for having made him a double murderer, Kamal meets Massu and starts telling him Shakthi's past: Massu is Shakthi's son. Massu had escaped because Megha had left him safe in a small house with a family nearby. Shakthi through Massu wanted to kill all the people who were responsible for his family's demise. Knowing the truth, Massu decides to kill the last person, Radha Krishnan, himself.Radha Krishnan also knows who Massu is and tries to kill him but Kamal saves Massu. However, because he was hit on the head by Radha Krishnan, he loses the ability to see and converse with the spirits anymore. With the help of Vikram, who double-crossed Radha Krishnan, Massu finally kills Radha Krishnan. As Shakthi's last wish is fulfilled, he goes to heaven and joins with Anu and Megha. Manini now reunites with Massu and they get married as Jettu remains with Massu forever.
