The movie

A straw dog infected by a highly toxic substance is passing around a virus that turns humans into bloodthirsty beasts. As chaos starts spreading, traffic officer Karthik realises that his little sister has gone missing. With the help of his clumsy colleague, this decent cop decides to go look for her. In his quest, he will meet a group of scientists which he must escort out of the city so that they can come up with an antidote without getting killed by the rapidly multiplying hordes of infected people. Miruthan is clearly a one-of-a-kind Indian movie: not only does it belong to the very sparse genre of commercial horror films, but it is the first Tamil zombie flick! Competing with both local and global productions, this Kollywood blockbuster transfixes the audience through smart writing, big action scenes and unbounded romanticism. An absolute breath of fresh air that sure as hell delivers the goods!
