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.

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.

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.
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
