Muniyandi Vilangial Moonramandu
2008 | 141 min
Muniyandi (Bharath), a third year college student and the darling son of Muthumani (Ponvannan) comes across as an average fun-loving guy. Matters become colourful when a demure young daughter, Madumitha (Poorna) of a local bigwig, Ramaiyya gives first preference to the members of his caste. Madumitha makes a coquettish play for all of Muniyandi's friends, but hits it off with him first. Following a heated skirmish in the caste-dominated college elections, the two fall in love. Or so you think. Also part of the mix is Sorimuthu Ayyanar (Vadivelu), who raises some laughs as the local witch-doctor, complete with bells and saffron cloth regalia. But everything goes topsy-turvy when, once Madumitha's marriage is arranged, she turns around and says that she was never in love with Muniyandi in the first place. Furious, the guy thrashes her with his slippers and sets fire to her father's coconut grove. It is little things like these that set this movie slightly apart from others in the same genre; the hero and heroines come across as genuine characters, angry, sad and sorrowful. Madumitha is no slinking pathetic thing either; she gives back as good as she gets. But its time for the caste card to be played again and as Muniyandi discovers the secret behind his brothers death.

Benny And Babloo
2010 | 123 min
The story is about two good-hearted samaritans Benny (Kay Kay Menon) and Babloo (Rajpal Yadav) who like the any other Indian are smitten by the glamour of Mumbai. After a brief stint as waiters, in a typical Mumbai style Irani restaurant, the two land up in distinctly different jobs....Benny takes up a job of a bell-boy in a suburban five-star hotel whereas Babloo lands up as a waiter in a ladies service bar. Benny considers his job to be far superior to Babloos and ends up making fun of him more often that not. Post a hilarious experience of the new jobs to start with, both gradually realize that they were actually in similar professions with two different exteriors, but the same interiors. Bennys pride starts fading with passing time when reality strikes...!!! Benny witnesses innumerable social evils at the five-star hotel, right from drug abuse to political fiascos while Babloo meets the more human side of the otherwise condemned part of the society. And the truth dawns, that our system keeps a blind eye towards the Five Star Hotels while the Ladies Bars are constantly facing the wrath of the same. On the whole, writer-director Yunus Sajawal has treaded the rough road and has added a new dimension to the raging debate...Are bar girls a bigger threat than terrorists? In short Benny And Babloo is a satirical comedy that throws light on the similarity between two sides of the same coin. The female stars comprise Riya Sen, Shweta Tiwari, Rukhsaar, Anita Hasnandani, Richa Chaddha, Maushumi Udeshi and others. Produced by Umesh Chouhan under the banner of Chamunda Films, the film has music by Amjad Nadeem lyrics by Shabbir Ahmed.
