Last month, OTT giant Netflix had revealed the direct-to-OTT release date of the Tovino Thomas starrer highly anticipated superhero movie ‘Minnal Murali’. The film is all geared up to release directly on Netflix on 24th December 2021. The film’s production commenced in December 2019 and concluded in the month of July 2021. And now, an electrifying trailer for ‘Minnal Murali’ has just been unveiled by the makers.
When we logged on to Netflix India Minnal Murali’s official trailer YouTube page moments before the trailer’s release, we were greeted by a 30-second video featuring an animated avatar of Minnal Murali flying at lightning speed. The actual trailer starts off with the titular protagonist’s doctor discussing the after-effects of a lightning incident.
The ordinary man begins to enjoy his newly found superpowers – rather reminiscent of Sam Raimi’s 2002 film ‘Spider-Man’. Overall, the trailer has a fun, light-hearted, and humorous tone throughout its run expect perhaps a few seconds towards its climax. It remains to be seen whether the film would follow suit or take a more serious route. Nevertheless, it seems that ‘Minnal Murali’ is bound to be an entertaining enterprise.
The superhero film ‘Minnal Murali’ is being touted as the journey of good over evil and is apparently set during the 1990s period. It follows the superhero origin story of Jaison (played by Tovino Thomas), who is portrayed as a tailer from a small town in the state of Kerala. The ordinary man turns into a superhero and assumes the mantle of Minnal Murali after he is struck by a bolt of lightning, which gives him special powers. He ostensibly acquires superhuman powers and becomes the fastest man alive on Earth.
Being imagined as a flagbearer of the Malayalam new-gen cinema wave, ‘Minnal Murali’ will be released on Netflix in the Malayalam language with dubs in multiple languages namely Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and English. The superhero action-adventure film led by Tovino Thomas has been helmed by Basil Joseph and will also feature Guru Somasundaram, Harisree Ashokan, and Aju Varghese in important roles. ‘Minnal Murali’ has been produced by Weekend Blockbusters (Sophia Paul).
