Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Technicians Review

Hrudayam Murali story is penned by Aakash Baskaran. He tried to entertain movie lovers with a breezy romantic entertainer and drew inspiration from Atharvaa's father Murali's classic Hrudyam. The narration starts with the introduction of Atharvaa's character through Fahad Faasil's voice over and his personality and his thought process.

Fahad Faasil highlights the mood of the viewers with his oneliners quite aptly while the narration got the hilarious touch with the actor Sudhakar. Fahad Faasil not only entertains but also mocks the character of Atharvaa and also the film's screenplay to leave all amused.

But except for the two characters the film offers nothing new or exciting and turns out to be a tedious watch. The narration is stretched and screenplay is dragged to the core on a small point that hero cannot express his feelings for more than two and half hours.

The film's convenient narration with Priety Mukhundhan's character disappearing surprisingly disappoints all. The convenient screenplay results in various characters appearing and disappearing as per the whims and fancies ot the director. The story offers nothing new and it is dragged completely with the pre decided runtime. To the top of it,the lead character not undergoing any transformation for almost 90% of the film tests the patience of the viewers.

Director spent most of the time, highlighting the relationship between the lead character and his uncle and the girls in his life and in turn misses the emotional connection completely.

The cinematography of Manoj Paramahansa showed the scenes in a natural and appealing manner. Thaman's songs failed to impress and it would have been better had the makers done away with them. His background music is just ok. The editing of Pradeep E Ragav left a lot to be desired. There are many scenes that tested the patience of the viewers and could have easily been chopped off. Production values are ok.

Hrudayam Murali (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Hrudayam Murali turns out to be an predictable romantic entertainer. Director Aakash Baskaran drew inspiration from yesteryear classic Hrudayam. After selecting small point, right from the first scene, he kept on dragging the narration with repetitive scenes. The screenplay is slow to the core and the script offered nothing new. There is nothing much to rave about the film and viewers will have a sigh of relief when the film ends. Considering all these elements, goes with 2 rating for Hrudayam Murali.
