    one of the best

    While the directors have had mixed luck in front of the camera, few music composers have chosen to appear on screen. Vijay Antony is apparently trying to buck the trend with this attempt. He doesn't, however, look too uncomfortable in front of the camera and has done what director Jeeva Shankar has instructed him to. Jeeva Shankar, an erstwhile assistant of late cinematographer-director Jeeva, has chosen a thriller for Vijay Antony's debut and made a good fist of his maiden attempt. Jeeva Shankar's style has several Jeeva touches and he is inclined towards painting a bright picture on a big canvas through vivid cinematography, which happens to one of the movie's strengths Nobody is perfect" is the arc around which Jeeva Shankar has woven his story with the protagonist Vijay Antony in tow. Jeeva Shankar's characterization of his lead man sure stands out as he is unadorned of anything remotely called heroism and is far removed from the typical hero of a normal film. In other words, the line that separates the hero and the villain are blurred in Naan which could strike a chord with the audience. Naan is the journey of man who seeks a path to undertake the travel of life but is deviated by the incidents that happen en route

    Greatly underrated

    Naan is a solid crime/thriller film that deserves credit for its creativity and engaging content. I'm so surprised it isn't more popular!

    The main character was perfect. A man of a few words, he expressed his emotions, inner turmoil, anger and confusion through his eyes. His performance, the supporting cast, and the background music work in captivating harmony that will suck you right in.

    Although there are some weak points in the plot, Naan is an excellent crime film that you should NOT miss!

    The movie has moved a little bit away from the regular story of such films in Tamil.

    Starring Vijay Antony, Siddharth Venugopal and Rupa Manjari in the lead roles, the film is directed by Jeeva Shankar.

    Jeeva has made this film after learning all the homework required for a crime thriller film! In terms of acting, everyone has put in a great performance.

    Naan tells the story of a young man named Karthik, who excelled in his studies from an early age, has to face many unexpected things in his life.

    The film takes the audience through the complexities and problems he experiences.

    He is on his way to Chennai, accidentally gets into a bus accident. Then he finds out that the young man sitting in the next seat is dead, Karthik grabs the box containing his certificates and money without thinking right or wrong.

    Karthik, who is starting to live at the address of the deceased, had many challenges to overcome.

    The film then shows how Karthik faces those challenges.

    If we leave the logic in some scenes, we can see that it has moved a little bit away from the regular story of such films in Tamil.
