There are some movies that will challenge us, force us to think in ways we have never thought before, made in a style so amazing that it will change the way we look at things forever.
‘Gangster Macha: The Rise of Muthusammy’, is not one of those movies. Though a crime movie in every aspect, it will not provoke the innermost recesses of your mind, nor will it force you to engage in a deep political discussion.
But it does what many movie makers fail to do. It will entertain, and it will make you laugh. Out loud. Literally. If it doesn’t, then you’re taking it way too seriously.
………………..
Though quite comical, the film also presents itself as in insight into local gangsterism, and why some budding youths join in the first place.
Gangster Macha: The Rise of Muthusammy is in every respect an Indian gangster movie, though it takes these limits and throws them out the window. It knows that its corny, but it makes no apologies in doing so and keeps on punching

Gangster Macha: The Rise of Muthusammy
A local gangster flick – complete with giant moustaches – that doesn’t take itself too seriously is available for free-to-watch on YouTube.
PETALING JAYA: Goodfellas. The Godfather. Heat. Infernal Affairs. Once Upon a Time in America.
Gangster films have long shaped the face of modern cinema, with its effects stamped across the world times over; a portrayal of the darker side of humanity.
Although many of these movies take themselves seriously – a deserving position- there are some that warns their audiences not to do so, unless you wish to suffer brain damage.
Gangster Macha: The Rise of Muthusammy, is one such film. A local amateur production by first-time filmmaker Yusuf Amin, 22, the show takes a satirical look at Malaysian mobsters, complete with fight scenes, punching sounds and giant moustaches.
“I actually wanted to do a documentary about Indian gangsters. It’s always been an interesting subject… but nobody wants to watch a sad film. My main priority is to entertain,” Yusuf, who also wrote its script and music, said.
He added that he was also jumping on the gangster movie bandwagon, with recent local films such as KL Gangster, Kepong Gangster and Hantu Gangster.
Filmed on a shoestring budget, the film was also shot over a total of 17 days, over a 4-month period.
