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.

Vishal's Naan Sigapu Manithan is a Revenge thriller film with a medical disorder tale in the plot. It can be compared to Gajini though this will not make a huge impact like Gajini because of some commercial elements here and there in the plot. Vishal has justified the role of a Narcolepsy patient and portrays the problem they face with the social world. Saranya Ponvannan as usual plays the caring mother character yet it's not boring what she does, make us laugh. Lakshmi Menon for a change as the modern rich man's city girl impresses us with her new looks and acting (credits to the makeup man for using enough touch up coats and colour contacts). She had a good scope in the first half of the movie and in the second half she goes as the sleeping beauty. Iniya the vaagai soodava girl has played the similar role of Thirutu payale Malavika which perfectly fits with her new transformed stunning looks. Her role is short but important and impressive. Supporting roles by Jagan and Mayakam Enna fame Sudar Ramu gives a good hand to the plot. Jayaprakash comes in a short role. The screenplay was good and quite engaging except for the fact of misplacement of songs. Story is also fresh keeping in mind that without digging much into the real medical syndrome if see this as something newly presented it feels fresh. BGM so much was mostly stolen from myakam enna and Gajini. Music was average not impressive by GV. The controversial lip-lock was not so laudable but of course the plot had adultery in so many sections justifying U/A certification. Second half twist might offend so many people particularly female viewers. Overall 3/5. -Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran

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.

Naan Sigappu Manithan (Tamil) (U/A) --------- my Rating : ★★★½ NARCOLEPSY THRILLER

STRENGTHS :- * Story Screenplay Direction : was interesting ... * Casting and Performances : were really great ... * Twists and Turns : plays main role ...

WEAKNESSES :- * Post interval portion : was little over..... * Songs were boring...

FILM VERDICT :- * Overall... the movie is good ... a must watch who loves twists and turns ....

This film talks about a neurological sleeping disorder called narcolepsy. Co-produced by Vishal, the film stars himself in the leading role with Lakshmi Menon and Iniya in supporting roles.

The movie was worst. The movie was not at all good. The movie has a worst story and many vulgar scenes. Songs and BGM in the movie was also worst. Boring movie.

I saw the film a couple of days ago . It was awesome. The film is about a man (Vishal as Indiran) who suffers from Narcolepsy and faces his problems. Vishal's acting is very good. Lakshmi Menon comes in the first half ans a few minutes in second half but second half runs based on her . Jagan and Sundar Ramu as Vishal's friends does a good job . Jayaprakash in a small role foes a good job. first half is full romance and comedy but post interval and after interval takes a turn and the film turns into a thriller. The twist in the second half is unexpected . No one would have expected it. The most important thing is Thiru's screenplay and direction. Don't miss this film.It is definitely worth a watch.

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.

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

Is their any one watching this movie in 2025 In this era narcolepsy is seen more and many cases are reported in hospital.yet this is not reported or approved as a disability in India.small children who is facing with such kind of disorders need to go through a lot of suffering in their life. As shown in this movie it is not case of emotion this affect person health mentally and physically .A person who is affected by this disorder for a long period of time even find difficulty to compete with others ,in society,in work place etc because gradually it will increases stress level of person day by day which will cause high level of pain in there head due to all type of compression they have to face in their life .

Thanks to actors who had played a good role by showing the difficulty that a person with such disorder have to face.
