Naan Sigappu Manithan

Story - A man suffering from Narcolepsy disorder, have to strike back for his love.

Positives: New term Narcolepsy in the story, Vishal & Lakshmi Menon, extraordinary first half, Good cinematography, Excellent BGM by GV.Prakash.

Negatives: Last 30mins.

Vishal-Director Thiru combination for 3rd time. Most of us now only came to know what is Narcolepsy. The way director explained about a guy suffering from Narcolepsy from childhood is brilliant. Vishal shared a romantic screen with Lakshmi Menon for the second time. Naan Sigappu Manithan is completely good until the story unlocks something in the screen. Iniya appearance is not fair. Some flashback for revenge is not so strong. Remember still NSM have more +ve than -ve.

Bottom-line - Average commercial with some new dose.

What could have been a great movie has been reduced to a blatant misinformed portrayal of nacrolepsy. The plot is over dramatised and directed poorly. The lack of logic, even for a Vishal movie is blasphemous. The only decent thing about the movie is it's cinematography.

In the footprints of Ghajini, Chandramukhi, Anniyan we have in our hands another well made disorder-based-thriller. Though the grandiose, as in the case of the former movies, is missing the plot has been kept simple and to the point and hence strikes a chord among the viewers.

Vishal's "Nan Sigappu Manithan" is the third venture from Vishal Film Factory and also the third film in Vishal-Thiru combination. Indiran (Vishal) suffers from Narcolepsy, a disorder that puts people to sleep at the slightest excitement of emotions. When his love life with Meera (Lakshmi Menon) is affected by this disorder he finds a temporary solution after which a tragedy strikes which forever alters his life.

Vishal with the tinted, and often cracked, glass is well suited for the role of a narcoleptic patient. Be it his innocence during the job-hunt or the shyness during his love-life or the anger during the revenge episode, he has very well distinguished his expressions and has lit up the screen. Though his disorder initially tickles the viewers, "the scene" totally shakes everyone to the core.

Lakshmi Menon as Vishal's Juliet has done her part with no blemishes. If Vishal sleeps in the first half, she takes over the job during the second.

Besides the lead, the art director deserves appreciation for his well made backdrops during the desert number and also for looking into the tiniest details (the mirror in the Vishal's home with a lot of stains is an example).

Nevertheless, Thiru's script is the first and foremost hero for spinning a web around a disorder and making it into a full length entertainer.

The only flaw that I found out: Indiran's mother initially thinks that her son falls unconscious. Later Indiran uses water as a recovery strategy. In any normal situations the first thing we do is to use water to wake up an unconscious person. But it took Indiran over two decades to discover that water-idea. Does it add up??

Still, "Naan Sigappu Manithan": Green Flag.

Naan Sigappu Manithan by THRIU is an excellent story,casting vishal, lakshmi menon. The plot revolves around indiran (vishal) who has sleeping disorder.. he has his own wishes to complete.. while on the process of completing his wishes he meets with meera (lakshmi). she helps him with his wishes and eventually falls in love with him.. her father is not happy with indiran and avoids the proposal.. one night meera gets raped by four people and goes into coma... meanwhile indiran is urging to seek his revenge.. what he undergoes is a totally unexpected criteria...

I enjoyed watching it... it didn't make me sleep..!! watch it.. love it
