Mugamoodi (tamil)/Mask(telugu) is a 'so-called' superhero movie which explores the 'hero within'. Had Mysskin, the director explored the story from within himself, the movie would have been a wonder at the box office.
Simply put, 4spoons on batman+2spoons of superman+6spoons of spiderman+8spoons of kungfu hustle+1spoon of nativity = MASK
Jiiva does his part well and fits the bill, but the story is a big let down. Pooja Hegde is gorgeous but is limited to few frames and not even properly used in the songs - where heroines fin more prominence in such hero oriented stories. Look out for her ! Girish Karnard and Nasser are wasted totally with a meatless role. Varein as the villain does not do justice either. Instead of copying the villainy from numerous hollywood movies, he shoud have evolved a style of his own. Best part are the kungfu stunts which are not done overly and the songs (tamil ones are better).
Worth a miss. Watch it if you want to conclude how a south-indian hero who has no super powers is called a Superhero just because he uses a mask to cover his face....!!!
