Dhanush
has
not
delivered
a
big
hit
in
the
recent
times
in
Kollywood.
He
has
been
due
for
a
big
hit
in
Tamil
films
after
critically-acclaimed
movie
Aadukalam.
However,
his
Bollywood
debut
Raanjhanaa
in
2013
turned
out
to
be
a
successful
affair
and
it
had
given
him
a
relief.
Now,
he
is
returning
to
Kollywood
with
Naiyaandi.
Naiyaandi
became
a
talk
of
the
town
in
the
present
week
when
Nazriya
Nazim
went
public
making
some
strange
allegations
against
the
director
of
the
movie,
Sarkunam.
It
gave
a
good
publicity
and
made
people
to
curiously
await
for
the
release.
How
far
it
has
helped
the
movie?

Sarkunam
draws
your
attention
with
the
narration.
The
credit
card
gives
an
introduction
about
the
characters.
Dhanush
is
shown
as
a
careless
guy,
who
is
at
his
uncle's
place.
He
has
two
elder
unmarried
brothers
played
by
Sriman
and
Sathyan.
His
daily
life
begins
and
ends
with
his
cousin
Soori
(Soori).
He
is
in
love
with
dentist
Vana
Roja
(Nazriya
Nazim),
who
has
come
to
the
village
to
stay
with
her
grandma
for
some
days.
With
the
support
of
his
gang,
he
does
several
tricks
to
impress
her.
But
none
of
them
work
in
their
favour.
Accidentally,
heroine
falls
in
love
with
him.
Well,
her
rich
father,
who
has
never
said
'no'
to
anything
that
she
had
asked
for,
has
taken
a
promise
that
she
would
marry
the
boy
chosen
by
him.
Well,
on
the
other
end,
she
has
started
loving
Dhanush.
But
the
kind
and
lovely
father
fixes
an
alliance
with
Vamsi
Krishna,
who
plays
the
role
of
a
baddie
in
the
movie.
Rating:
2.0/5
Dhanush
and
Nazriya
elope
and
get
married.
They
also
reach
home,
but
they
don't
reveal
that
they
are
the
man
and
wife.
His
unmarried
brothers
now
are
in
the
race
to
marry
her.
What
happens
next
is
the
crux
of
the
story.
Naiyaandi
Movie
Review
The
story
of
Naiyaandi
is
partially
engaging
and
there
are
a
few
well-written
one-liners.
Dhanush
and
his
side-kicks
struggle
hard
to
bring
laughter
on
the
faces
of
the
audience.
Decent
Story
No
doubt,
Sarkunam
has
got
a
decent
story
in
hand.
But
the
screenplay
and
scenes
are
badly
written.
Apart
from
interesting
introduction,
there
is
hardly
anything
fresh
in
the
movie.
Inspired
By
Meleparambil
Aanveedu
Having
taken
inspiration
from
Malayalam
movie
Meleparambil
Aanveedu,
the
director
has
lost
complete
control
over
the
screenplay
in
Naiyaandi.
First
And
Second
Halves
There
is
nothing
engaging
in
the
first
half.
It
is
only
second
half,
which
has
something
to
offer
to
the
audience.
Performances
Dhanush
has
done
his
usual
job.
He
is
good
and
has
lived
up
to
his
character.
Soori,
Sathyan,
Pyramid
Natarajan
and
other
characters
have
played
their
parts
well.
Nazriya
Nazim
Steals
Show
Nazriya
Nazim,
who
was
in
the
news
for
wrong
reasons,
emerges
as
a
winner.
Her
lovely
face
expressions
and
acting
are
the
plus
points
of
the
flick.
Tech
Departments
Velraj's
cinematography
is
good.
But
it
is
Ghibran's
music
score
that
stands
out
from
all
other
technical
departments.
Verdict
The
only
saving
grace
in
the
movie
is
-
Nazriya
Nazim.
Had
she
not
played
the
female
lead,
it
would
have
been
difficult
for
audience
to
sit
in
the
theatres
till
the
end.
Her
controversy
may
not
have
helped
the
movie,
but
it
has
made
people
notice
her
talent.
