Karan and co are trying to copy the style of “new wave Tamil cinema’ with Malayan, but sadly ends up with egg on their face. The same old story of a good-hearted but tough guy being loyal to his boss at all costs has once again been rehashed.

Malayan ( Karan) works in a fireworks factory situated somewhere in the dry lands of Sivakasi. He will do anything for his boss Meiyappan ( Sarath Babu) who is his savior and the man who gave a new lease of life to his family when they were homeless.

Bhagiyam (Shammu) falls in love with Malayan and after opposition, her parents agree to the marriage, seeing their love. But fate intervenes when Bhagyam is killed along with hundred workers in a fire in the godown of the factory that Malayan works .

Malayan suspects the wicked competitors, Vedachalam (Rajan.P Dev) and his son Thanikachalam (Sakthi Kumar) of having done the mischief and goes after them. But Meiyappan stops him saying that it was an accident and tries to plays it down. Soon Malayan develops a soft corner for Sumathi ( Udayathara), Bhagyam’s cousin who reforms him before the final twist in the climax.

The film looks like it has been made for the 60’s or 70’s audiences. The so called twist in the tale and the reason given at the end appear too contrived. Karan seems to be in a hurry to become the next action hero and the kind of shrill message and hamming he does in the climax would have made Lenin turn in his grave! Shammu has done a decent job, while Udayathara is wasted. To make matters worse, you have to tolerate pots-and-pans music by Dhina in this technically slipshod movie.

Verdict : Avoidable
