Prakash Raj has achieved what others cannot even fathom. He has continually pushed his limits and tried to reach out for new horizons with his every creative enterprise. Through his own production house Duet Movies, he has continually tried to egg on budding talents.

Prakash Raj has shoved his abilities with his every new movie and he does the same in his next directorial venture ‘Mozhi’. Prakash Raj’s movies are well celebrated for his larger than life feel. And ‘Mozhi’ is out and out an entertainer that truly assimilates with its label ‘It is not the expression, but the emotion’. Indisputably true!

‘Mozhi’ is a love saga tilted against music. It is an easygoing cinema with a poignant love story between a musician and a physically disabled girl. Karthik (Prithviraj) and Viji (Prakash Raj) are musicians who are employed in the dream factory. They swear by their music and chiefly play on synthesizers. Their characters are very vivacious and flamboyant and they drink their lives up to the lees.

It is at this point of time that Karthik stumbles upon Archana (Jyothika) who shares the same apartment with them. Karthik is enthralled by her audacity in their very first meeting where she bashes on a man for belting his wife in the middle of the streets. Karthik is thoroughly smitten by her and immediately loses his heart.

Soon after Karthik learns that Archana is deaf and dumb. While Viji is very apprehensive of this newly blossomed love affair, Karthik is fully convinced that this is the right girl he has been awaiting all his life.

In order to breach the communication gap, Karthik takes up tuitions on sign language from Archana’s friend Sheela (Swarnamalya) so that he may communicate with her. Archana turns out as a very strong-headed girl who is self dependent and gregarious.
The story then continues on the line of smiles, tears, emotional mayhem and infectious humor that continues till the culmination.

Jyothika entices with her splendid performance. In spite of being deaf and dumb, her actions speak louder than her words. Her performance here is absolutely plausible. Prithviraj and Prakash Raj give in commendable performances and make us roll out with their hilarious dialogue deliveries. Swarnamalya aptly fits into the role. She has done her homework for the role and appears quite convincing. Other performers like Brahmanandam in the role of a looming neighbor and MS Bhaskar in the act of a lecturer are also very commendable.

Dialogues by Viji are also well written. He expertly blends wit and humor together with heart wrenching lines with equal ease. Three cheers for a splendid job. Vidyasagar tunes out perfect songs for this music driven flick. His music is floaty and is never heavy on the ears. Rests of the technicians are also great in their work. KV Guhan’s cinematography and Kasi Viswanathan’s editing are well applauded. Art director Kathir also should be well praised for his sets that very well assimilate with the look of the film. Radha Mohan’s screenplay is flawless. All the scenes and events have been well knitted and add to perk up the movie in their own light way.

On the whole, ‘Mozhi’ mesmerizes with its creative opulence. A must watch for all film fanatics.
