Nadunisi Naaygal

It's a very interesting psychological thriller by genius Gautam Menon but it was not well received at that time

Its a daring attempt by GVM and it is well scripted thriller. It may be an inspiration or something else but this is fresh and its all the audience want. Don't know why many criticize this movie. Veera is amazing; backbone of the movie. Rest of them did complete justice to their role. If you don't like the genre, don't criticize the movie for it! as simple as that!! People need to have a broad mind in order to see this movie. If you appreciate Sigappu Rojaakal, then this movie is for you.

Dark cinematography scores well for the movie.

Note: Just wanna share the moments Tamizh audience missed. The epic one being Anbe Sivam.

Every bold work which comes ahead of time(a time where we fail to identify or accept the existence of acute evils like Child Molestation in the society) goes through some level of brutality – an unfair response . And Nadunisi Naigal is no exception.

As a director, Gautham Vasudev Menon has handled your subject with a lot of responsibility. Most of the times, we find it difficult to vocalize our thoughts , because it takes some time to grapple with reality. It is like going through a phase of Cognitive Dissonance. Because most of the times a "Yes" does not mean a Yes and a "No" does not mean a No. And all that it takes is some level of empathy towards the subject and a deeper understanding of our own opinion.

Veera Bahu who plays the role of a moral imbecile is an interesting find . The onus on Veera is obvious who is literally in almost every frame .His deep voice and delivery in the latter part of the movie deserves a special mention. Sameera has proved to be a natural actor and she has managed to grapple with the toughness the role demands. Swapna Abraham who has shouldered a bold role is beautiful , charming and deserving. She is definitely a winner.

Nadunisi Naigal as a movie cannot be liked or disliked. Nadunisi Naigal is an experience.

Kudos to your true grit Gautham !!!

The major problem with this movie is once you start watching it, you are so tensed that you cannot stop it. You will just continue watching it until the end. But when the movie is finished, you will ask yourself. "Why did I see this?".

The movie by any means is not any worth to see, other than for wasting your time. The direction, camera and acting is so good that you will be just lost in the movie completely. But the movie as such is a real turn off. The psycho killer is so badly narrated. His character does not posses any consistency except that he behaves abnormal. I was really irritated when I finished the movie and my whole day was gone.

One question keep coming to me. Why was this movie made?

Can a thriller be made without background music and abrupt sounds. Yes it can be and with success, that's what Nadunisi Naaygal proves above all. Goodbye to songs, dances, overused themes, needless characters and Indian movie Cliché. Newcomer Veera, as a person with split personality disorder shines in enacting a suave man and doubling up as a savage serial killer. Dialogues are measured and helps in reflecting the brutality of a serial killer. Samar's dialog's accentuate his complete detachment from reality and social life. When the police inspector kills the dog Samar sets on him, Samar questions him "Are you so inhumane to kill a dog?".

With no help from adrenalin pumping audio, Manoj Paramahamsa's camera and Anthony's editing are the sole elements apart from the storyline to raise the viewer's anxiety. All these elements make the viewer's hearts race continuously for 90 minutes. Director Gautham Menon has also thrown light on two unexplored themes in Indian cinema. The child sexual abuse the life of the criminally insane. Nadunisi Naaygal, not for the faint hearted, but yes for the people, who want to witness Gautham Menon breaking a whole new ground in Indian cinema.
