Mersal Review: With Mersal, we have got this year's most engaging mass masala movie. It has a relatable theme (even though the medical field has been the target for many films), star power, punch dialogues that double up as political statements, emotional scenes that make us care for its characters, a message that connects with us, colourful visuals, peppy music, and masala moments that keep you cheering for the hero(es).
The film begins with the kidnapping of a few individuals and the arrest of Dr Maaran (Vijay), who, the investigating officer Rathnavel (Sathyaraj) believes is the mastermind. As he interrogates the doctor on why he let himself get captured, he learns that it is actually Vetri (Vijay) , a magician - and a look-alike of Maaran - who has committed these crimes. How is Vetri connected to Maaran and what does he want?
A magician and a doctor attempt to expose the corruption at the heart of India’s medical industry.
