Nandalala

Myskkin, This review is written mainly for you. Well, I'm a big fan of all your movies. Once when I read the news that you have promoted yourself as a hero, I decided not to watch this movie. You know that director turned actors have not done really well and I don't really like this trend. So did I decided.

It was one Friday evening when I was working on my laptop keeping the TV on n mute. There was some visuals going on Kalaignar TV which was excellent and increased the volume to see some scenes. I was glued to that movie and only during the next break, did I find that it was nandalala and the actor was none other than myskkin.

Watched the movie fully and I was amazed. It was one of the very best movie of Indian cinema. You know, there is a scene where the lorry driver beats myskkin and seeing msykkin's innocence and child-like nature, the lorry himself feels sorry for beating him. I was also completely melted by seeing myskkin in that particular scene.

What an acting! Everyone MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! Myskin, don't give up acting just because of few failures. People will understand you, just keep supplying us the kind of movies you are passionate about.

(Note: I liked mugamoodi too though many made of fun of that movie. What I liked about mugamoodi is you kept the movie subtle knowing the boundaries of tamil cinema and what I laughed at that was when the granny's helped the hero. Otherwise, movie was really nice. Brave attempt and succeeded to some extent!)

Mysskin has given one of the best films in Tamil. The film runs around two main characters Bhaskar Mani and Akhilesh. Bhasker Mani spent most part of his life at mental asylum and Akhilesh,a schoolboy,was separated from his mother. The both meet at a situation and start their journey in searching their mothers. What happens is the climax. Firstly,Nandalala is just not a movie. It's a journey that shows humanity in every scene. Mysskin as a director has just excelled in holding the viewers' attention. He makes the audience feel the pain of the characters, generate empathy and is even able to make one's eyes go moist. The emotions and happenings on screen look so genuine and endearing.Mysskin has lived the role of Bhaskar Mani and proved himself as a great actor. Ashwath Ram as a school-boy searching his mother has justified the role! Snigitha surprise in the film. But the hero of the film is Illaiyaraja-the music director of the film. His music expresses the feelings than the words by characters. He is the ultimate genius when it comes to creating soulful music that enhances the viewing experience. The music album had 6 songs each one a treat for ear. The camera handled by Mahesh Muthuswamy is so real and natural. And what a poetic title!!!

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. Mohandas Gandhi!!! The same Nandhalala conveys. Don't miss this epic film.

I was shell shocked by the thesis and performance of the characters.art never dies.myskkin proved it for again and again with his artistic performance and story telling perspective.the way he has been handled the story quite simple and damn realistic.there are several elements I need to point out in this movie as a glimpse of this film but that should be spoils the story.sorry this is not a movie this is a life journey of every human being.

Only a few director made a film as at its original form without any commercial elements.myskkin is surely one among them.i would say this should be must watch film for every human being before they die.

Its amazing to see this movie excelled in every aspects of filmmaking, be it a Director( Hats Off to Myskin),Acting Performance, Editing ,Cinematography and not to forget Illayaraja's lovely music and BGM. some people say this movie is slowly paced and melodramatic, but they couldn't understand this is not just a movie, its more like a beautiful experience where you could sympathize with those two Characters( Myskin and Ashwath Ram)

The Movie is about a Journey of a Young boy and a Mentally disturbed man who goes on for a search of their respective mothers, as one want to kiss his mother on her cheeks and another one to slap on her. and along the way they were happen upon some interesting people, who helps them to reach their destination. Snigitha who portrayed as a sex worker in the movie, gave a very good performance.Mahesh Muthuswamy Camera work is commendable, Illayaraja's Music is pleasant. overall Myskin's successfully crafted a gem of a movie. both as a actor and as a Director he was astounding. Kudos to entire Nanadalala Team.

Any person who watches this movie definitely has some values to take with them.
