What works in opposition to the movie is that the script meanders a bit in the direction of the second half, thus leaving an underwhelming impact. You wish to root for the kids and their rage, particularly Anandu’s, however the narrative falls wanting emotional depth. If this had been taken care of, Mura would have made for a terrific movie.

Mura is presently operating in theatres.
