Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom

Had a chance to revisit this classic!

For the uninitiated, here's the plot of the film - (TRUE STORY, btw!) In an accident two days before his wedding, a young man forgets the last year of his life. His friends are determined to ensure that he gets married despite his condition.

This is one of those rare films that delivers overall entertainment (A race against the time thrillers + a Comedy; a rare mix) like some of major films with your Ajiths, Vijays, Rajinis, SRKs, Hrithiks haven't done in recent times (yeah I said it!) You can tell this was made on a shoestring budget and went on to be a major success, so if putting hardly any money in and making a lot of it isn't BO success, I don't know what is. Props to the writers and the sound design folks. The actors really sell it too.

And, owing to this success, the film was remade in six languages as Pusthakamlo Konni Pageelu Missing (Telugu), Kwatle Satisha (Kannada), Medulla Oblangata (Malayalam), Suna Pila Tike Screw Dhila (Odia), Shu Thayu? (Gujarati) and Dokyala Shot (Marathi). So if you haven't heard of this story, you have several options and almost no excuses if you're looking to watch something very different.

Should be on everybody's must watch list!

I have watched many Tamil movies. But this one just surprised me with its simplicity and charisma. There is no artificiality in the characters or in their makeup or in their acting. In many Tamil films, I had seen the comedy scenes just bulge out and doesn't fit well with the overall tone of the movie. But NKPK was an exception to it. Everything jells perfectly well into it and it made me laugh a lot. It was a surprise to me that this film was made out on a real event. This film was made with just 80 lacs and it grossed over 6 crores, which shows how good is this movie. Just watch and enjoy the fun.

crisp, clear and making a thin story watchable and entertaining.... that's the movie all about. the casting has been done in such a way to suit the character and play it. the story being part of a original person's life story is amazing. moreover few comedy scenes stand out. the hero character's depiction of memory loss and repeating the same dialogues is highlight in the movie. it is a good entertainer.. there could have been more depth in the background music but i think the director wanted to keep it simple. watch it with family, friend and relatives, again and again and again. All i can say is "ppppppaaaaaaa super movie".

Nice entertaining movie with a difference.

It's very difficult to weave a 1-2 hours story with just a small topic. But, the story writer and the director have proved it's damn easy with their amazing work. Mainly due to occasional seasoning by the friends of the hero in the movie, the movie seems fun-filled.

The movie effortlessly impressed me due to the natural acting by the friends of the hero in the movie. Way to go! NKPK team: Thanks for the fun. All the best for the future! :)

On the whole, a must watch! :)

Cheers, Raghavan Santhanam

The movie was excellent. Everybody acted very well in the film. BGM in the movie was superb. Songs were not much. The comedy scenes were the highlight in the movie. One of the best movie of Vijay Sethupathi.
