Superb story and incredible acting by Jyothika.G.v Prakash Kumar surprises as his acting is unpredictable.
Usually you have to build yourself mentally for watching a Bala film. He makes movies with so passion and realism and with a nerve shattering end that you will take days to recover from the emotional hit. So this is a pleasant surprise with none of the emotional turmoil involved. Still a good watch with some fine acting. I have never liked GV Prakash as an actor and associate him with only C-grade cheap movies but he really pulls a surprisingly great performance.All credit to the director to extract such a performance. Even Jyothika, an actress known for over acting is very restrained.Ivana is the best of all!
Overall a pleasant movie with a simple story with a filmy(unconvincing ) end. If you are a hardcore Bala fan please avoid, you will be disappointed. But you are looking for an interesting and light movie slightly better than usual masala movie, please go ahead.
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
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.

It's sad when subject matters that are important in the concerned societies are taken and treated with such laziness. Not having all the usual Tamil commercial masala mixed in it is commendable but whatever shown in the film still looks overused in the industry. The acting all around is just average to ok and nothing more and Jyothika isn't convincing enough as the tough cop. The film feels too rushed from the script to execution and ends up very forgettable.
