Vidaarth-starrer 'Moondram Kan' will have an open-ended climax: Director Sago Ganesan
Chennai, June 6
Director Sago Ganesan, whose upcoming crime thriller 'Moondram Kan' features actors Vidaarth, Kalaiyarasan and Teju Ashwini in the lead, has now disclosed that the film will have an open-ended climax.
Participating in a pre-release event of the film, which is slated to hit screens on June 12 this year, director Sago Ganesan said, "This film will have a different screenplay. I have applied Roshomon effect to this story and I have left the climax open ended. The audience will have to decide for themselves its climax. This is an experimental film and I don't know if such a film has ever released in Tamil cinema before."
Sources close to the unit said that the film revolves around the death of a firm's head and the needle of suspicion points to four people involved in the plot. The audience, the sources said, would have to be their own judge and determine who among these four had committed the crime.
The film will feature actors Vidharth, Kalaiyarasan, Santhosh Prathap, Thrigun, Teju Ashwini and Athulya Chandra in the lead, with John Vijay, Radha Srinivasan (Sundara Travels), KPY Sarath, Swetha Dorathy and Aiswarya KS in pivotal roles as well.
The film has been produced by K Sasikumar under the White Horse Studios banner and has cinematography by N S Uthayakumar. While the background score for the film has been delivered by R S Rajprathap, the film features a song, the music of which has been set to tune by Ajeesh.
Editing for the film is by R Ramar, while art direction is by Micheal. Stunts in the film have been choreographed by Karthik and dances have been choreographed by Radhika. Lyrics for the only song in the film have been penned by the director Sago Ganesan himself. Costumes in the film have been designed by Minnie Bastin.

Finally something different from the usual commercial potboilers! 🎬 I love Rashomon-style narratives where everyone's version is different. But honestly, Indian audiences might find it hard to accept an open ending - we're used to everything being spoon-fed. Hope the director has executed it well, otherwise people will walk out confused.
K. Sasikumar production - that itself guarantees quality! 👍 But open-ended climax in Tamil cinema? I have my doubts. Movies like 'Andhadhun' worked because they had a clear resolution. Let's see if Sago Ganesan can pull this off. Also, no songs except one? That's bold for our market. June 12 can't come soon enough!
I appreciate the director's ambition to experiment, but I'm a bit skeptical. 🤔 The concept of letting the audience decide the killer sounds like a gimmick if not done properly. That said, the cast is solid - Kalaiyarasan and Santhosh Prathap are underrated performers. Hope the screenplay does justice to the Rashomon approach. Let's support genuine experimental cinema!
Interesting concept but I have a concern: Will this movie work for mass audiences in B and C centers? 🙅 We often see directors experimenting but then the film fails commercially because our audience prefers clear narratives. Still, I'll give it a chance. Vidaarth has done good work before. Let's hope the team has balanced creativity with commercial sense.
Finally some fresh air in Kollywood
