Rajini Murugan is a product from a team which precisely knows its strengths. The biggest strength is that the team knows its limitations and never goes fishing into bigger or untested waters. The result is an outing of harmless fun.

Film review ·
There's pretty much nothing in Rajini Murugan that will even startle you, let alone blow your mind. It's everything you've seen already, but you know the thing that differentiates stars from actors? They're able to take your mind off the silly story; they're able to make you forget that the plot is flimsy, that the songs (even if catchy) are excessive, that the love story is regressive.
