Review By : Unni
Director Deepan’s second movie ‘Puthiya Mukham’ is very much different and better than his debut film, ‘Leader’. An action flick on the main, ‘Puthiya Mukham’ tells the story of a young Brahmin guy named Krishnakumar (Prithviraj), who comes to do his graduation in engineering in a college in Kochi. Krishnakumar, who is of a peaceful disposition and a lover of percussion music (he plays the ‘mridangam’ well), is in love with Sreedevi (Meera Nandan). Their love has the approval of elders too. Anyhow, with Krishnakumar making his entry into the campus, things take a drastic change. Anjana (Priyamani), the daughter of a Police Officer (Vijayaraghavan) with all kinds of illicit dealings, makes her entry into his life. And now Krishnakumar finds a tough enemy in Sudhi (Bala), who is a real goonda kind of guy and who is engaged to Anjana too. From here ‘Puthiya Mukham’ takes off as an action flick.
‘Puthiya Mukham’ is an out and out action flick, made to exploit and boost the star image of Prithviraj, who’s gone all trendy with his six pack and new looks. It’s Prithviraj and Prithviraj alone who dominates the whole proceedings. The film will appeal to those who look for action, of course non-stop action. And there is of course a bit of humour (courtesy Guinness Pakru) and some romance too, but it’s action in the main and Prithviraj’s one man show to some extent too. But the film doesn’t bore us at any point.
Performances
Prithviraj is indeed good show as Krishnakumar and the actor performs with ease the two stages in his character’s life. He comes out with flying colours in the action sequences. Bala too has done his character in a convincing manner. Priyamani is good and Meera Nandan, though she hasn’t got much to do, too is good. The others in the cast suit their respective roles and there is nothing negative to jot about the performances.
Technical aspects
The technical aspects of ‘Puthiya Mukham’ are all very much in sync with the mood of the film. The cinematography and editing are the highpoints among the technical aspects.
Music
Songs, especially “Picha vacha naal muthal …” and ‘Yadhukula murali…”, are good while the other ones are just average. The background score suits the mood and tempo of the film.
Script
M.Sindhuraj, the writer of many movies, has done a real good work of the script. Of course the film is no class film, but it is a watchable action flick. The scriptwriter needs to be appreciated for having penned the script to suit an action flick with the focus on Prithviraj.
Direction
Deepan has bettered a lot compared to his debut film. This time he seems to be well in control of the proceedings. You may wonder and even criticize that the action has perhaps exceeded limits, but it seems Diphan and his crew wanted to deliver exactly that and they have succeeded in that.
Overall verdict- For young blood!

this review is bullshit……this movie and prithiv’s interviews says..it is directed b prthivraj and camera man bharani k dharan…………… we dont belive that leader’s director such talent to make this kind action movie…… we love prthivraj………..u proved as director toooooooooooooo……….come with good movies like this …thank u
it is a nice movie of prithivi raj .i am your fan .i will saw your flim all
I’m not a big fan this so called action flick movies with not much logicalities, but I’m not saying that they are not entertaining. If you are looking for enjoyment for 2-1/2 hours, this type of films are for you. I don’t see any problems in producing such movies in malayalam. It is very obvious that the current generation in kerala are really fond of this type of movies, otherwise I see no reason why the movies of allu arjun or lot of other actors, whose names are unknown for me, can run for 50 days in packed houses in our theaters. So, it’s better that we make that type of movies here, at least malayalam film industry can survive. I am sure this is not a typical malalyalam movie which is more close to the realities of life, but I mean no offence to this movie..
deepan done a good job….kerala youth needs this kind movies in future…..please do more works like this deepan….. like shaji kalilas…..action director…..hmmmm
Action Packed Film……….. A Good Action Film After a Decade…….. Prithvi Rockzzzzz………NXT Mega Star OF Malayalam Cinema……………………

Prithviraj Rockzzzzz
I saw in many internet based review not bad about this movie, in shenayees theatre, this movie was housefull for the weekend, oru preshkan was saying that in kochi someone booed so that should be dileep fans, i know that happend before also, dileep send his people to prithvi movie and they boo or do other stuff, that doesnt mean nothing now, it is too late, now kerala people know prithvi is a talented actor, eda oru preshaka – if prithvi is not a talented actor then how come maniratnam selected him for his movie, common man you should stop your eago for the super stars or comedy guy dileep, dileep also want treat him as a super star, bullshit, people just calling them super stars, really who is super stars,
Hey oru preshakan, its look like you are a fan of our so called old superstars, can you tell me when mamootty or mohanal get angry how they show their face, many of them know that prithvi is a talented actor, anger showing is always same means what you mean, your super stars showing anger which way, i dont know anything about this movie, i havent seen yet, but as an actor prithviraj is doing a good job, many people likes him now, before he got an attitude, now he is changed. but i dont take it serious about you talking very negetively about this movie because you talking about prithviraj also same way, that means you are a mammoo or mohanlal fans, of course they are very senior actors and got talent, but you just cant say bad about prithvi because you are a fan of m and m, how many years can they act, of course we need our young actors come forward now, young actors like prithvi, naren, jayasoorya indrajith etc…you dont watch his movie again ok because he is showing same anger and half smile or whatever.. you just go watch super star movies like 60 year old guy doing comali vesham ee pattanathil bhootham, how about that movie is that super super movie for you, anyway thats it for now, i will wait for your reply ok
sathyamm…!!! njan innale kandu…@ sree padmanabha, tvm. just an AVERAGE movie…nothing great or special…story lags…evideyo thudangi… evideyo ninna pole…Stunts are good, Songs are good, nice Camera, technically different. and nice style of presentation….luv priyamani & meera nandan…Prithvi just rockkkddd!!
I don’t know why you guys felt this is a good movie. I felt its one of most “worst” films I saw. there is no story, no dialogue presentation or anything great. the music performance on the lecture stand and some of the dialogues were too horrible. thanks to the kochi audience who booed appropriately on such ocassions. I guess prithivi raj is getting stereo typed. every movie he has the same expression of anger and half smile. I think all sensible film viewers are getting bored with his same styles in every films. Diphan I feel should look for some other job so that we all will be spared from 2.15 hrs of boredom and frustration. in short, Puthiya Mugham is a “DISASTER” !!! Prithivi raj was a total disappointment. I don’t know how many of you can tolerate my view and agree with it. Please take it as an opinion and don’t shower me with hate emails..
prithivraj is becoming a super star with this movie
