What happens

Mynaa is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language romantic action drama film directed and written by Prabhu Solomon. Jointly distributed by Udhayanidhi Stalin and Kalpathi S. Aghoram, it stars Vidharth and Amala Paul, while Sethu and Thambi Ramaiah play supporting roles. The soundtrack by D. Imman garnered much anticipation prior to release, on 5 November 2010, coinciding with the Diwali festival. The film received critical acclaim and won the Best Film Award at the 58th Filmfare Awards South. Ramaiah went on to win the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2011. Mynaa became a major success and ended as a blockbuster among the 2010 Diwali releases and was released along with Dhanush's Uthamaputhiran. The core plot was reported to be loosely inspired by the 2006 Hong Kong film Dog Bite Dog. This film was officially remade in Bangladesh as Poramon (2013) directed by Jakir Hossain Raju.
