Naachiyaar

Superb story and incredible acting by Jyothika.G.v Prakash Kumar surprises as his acting is unpredictable.

Naachiyaar (2018):

As soon as we read the title card that says 'A Bala film', we expect a dark and disturbing film with a realistic approach to life.Be it his Pithamagan or Naan Kadavul and his last film Thaarai Thappattai,Bala's films are not for everyone.They are gut wrenching.But surprisingly Naachiyaar is his simplest drama till date..

Plot:

Two teenagers Kaathu (GV Prakash), a fruit vendor and Arasi (Ivana), a house maid meet and start liking each other. The film opens with a pregnant Arasi being nabbed by ACP Naachiyaar (Jyothika) and another team led by Feroz (Rockline Venkatesh) arresting Kaathu who is accused of raping a minor.

My Review:

The film caught everyone's attention when the teaser saw actor Jyothika swearing as part of her tough-as-nails cop avatar. For all the excitement this avatar generated though, Jyothika's Naachiyaar is something of a storm in a teacup, simply having a woman walk, talk and act like the male heroes we're so used to.

But the film is a love story of teenagers but landed in bigger trouble...Bala doesn't waste any time, as the theme of the film is established in the first couple of scenes itself. The characters are introduced, and their purposes are conveyed immediately. The film starts off on a comical note, with quite a few comedy scenes that don't drift away from the main plot. From there, the story flows into the romantic portions involving GV and Ivana. All these scenes are convincing enough but nothing special..Even second half which actually needed to be a nail biting investigation turns out dull...And, unlike in his previous films, there is no strong antagonist for her to square off against, which robs the character of strength and the film of drama..

So,Naachiyaar is not only the simplest but also the weekest in Bala's career..

My Rating 6.25/10

I started watching this movie without any expectations and ended up as good cop movie. The story revolves around a minor being raped and became pregnant. The initial suspect was Kaathu played by GV Prakash Kumar and the hot headed Asst. Commissioner takes it personal and investigates the case after discovering that the kid's DNA doesn't match with Kaath's DNA. And uncovers the truth.

Story was interesting and is a good one. We cannot find the usual Bala in this movie but he directed the movie well with excellent camera work with lots of aerial shots. The background Score did a pretty job to suit the mood and theme.. The maestro Ilaiyaraja was the one behind it.

Jo aka Jyotika Suriya excelled in her acting, and was top notch as the good tough hot headed cop. Her dialogue delivery, expressions were absolutely brilliant. The girl portrayed by Ivana was amazing in her role and the surprise package was GV Prakash Kumar's performance. He has also proved that he is an actor. Rockline Venkatesh Also delivered some good performance.

All in whole, the movie is worth watch and i really recommend not to miss this.

Naachiyaar - Director Bala touch the topic of rape in the adolescent age in modern days. He already showing the garbage area in the title credit scene which potrays the surrounding society. Usually we can see most of his movie climax will be in sad or negative ending but this movie climax is vice versa. Furthermore, he never drag the screenplay but aptly done the judgement in 90 minutes with drama, crime and investigation genre. Actress Jyothika will get nominated for her character. Gv Prakash nadichitheleyeh urupudiyaneh paadam ithutaan. I will give 8/10 IMDB rating

Not much so high rated. Average movie.. Act by both actor is good
